Lately Ive been worried about my weight. My boyfriend tells me not to worry about it because Im no where near?

Ive been weighing myself everyday. And when I eat less I exercise more. And if I eat more. I exercise twice as much. There are days where I do starve myself. And others I eat only very little. My boyfriend is very worried about me. He says I should eat and not skip meals or eat too little. And I keep telling him I know its only for a little bit. But I can't stop I don't know what to do. I see myself in pictures and my mind says "You look so fat in that picture." And so I start to panic and I tell myself to lose weight, skip meals, exercise more %26 more do what ever it takes to change the way you look in those pictures. But my boyfriend and my friends told me they are really worried about me. Do I have some kind of eating disorder or a self inflicted disorder or something??
Answer:
you have eating disorder and only combination of medical, psychological and nutritional counseling will help.
symptoms of anorexia:
-eat tiny portions, refuse to eat, deny they are hungry
-show abnormal weight loss
-act hyperactive, depressed, moody, insecure
-have an intense fear of being fat
-see themselves as fat, wanting to lose more weight
-exercise excessively and compulsively
-suffer from constipation or irregular menstrual periods
- develop fine, downy hair on their arms and face
-complain of nausea or bloating after eating normal amounts of food
-binge-eat, then purge, perhaps by vomiting or using laxatives or diuretics
the sooner you look for help the better chances of permanent recovery

possibly. listen to your boyfriend!

I don't know, does your boyfriend think you do?

stop weighing yourself everyday and use your waistline as your measuring stick.and trust your boyfriend. he's correct.

Yeah, maybe, but I'm no expert. But think about this logically, if you skip meals or eat very little "only for a little bit", sure, you might lose some weight right now, but if you were to start eating normally again, you would probably put it back on. Eating little or going on diets can't lose weight long term. And I'm pretty sure when you skip meals (like breakfast especially) it screws up your metabolism. You should definately stop skipping meals, because it will go on (longer than "a little bit") and then you will definately end up with a disorder like anorexia. And you don't look fat! Would you rather look anorexic - no!And listen to your boyfriend and friends, if there is anyone you want to impress with your weight, it's them!

Ask yourself these questions honestly:Am I happy?
Would I starve a child?
If not, then why would I starve myself? Am I not worthy of care and love?
Why is it that I won't take care of myself? Do I feel anger towards myself?Try to give yourself the love and care you would a child, you are worth it and I'm sure several people - your boyfriend, your parents, your friends - would all want you to be happy and look after yourself, not starve yourself or feel anxious about whether others are judging you. Try to relax a bit and not judge yourself or others, be as accepting as possible. As part of caring for yourself, please seek professional help, and get some sustained support from people who understand your problems well.
