Does anyone know of the early signs of an eating disorder? I personally don't think I have one and feel stupid for even thinking I do but, I've been getting a lot of comments, digs etc at my weight. I started a log, noting down everything I was eating/drinking to try and get a rough idea on how many calories I was taking daily and I guess I was pretty shocked, never mind the recommended daily intake, I rarely get to 500 a day and I seem to got myself into a routine of eating, or not eating rather unless I do something that allows me to. For example, I hoovered and tidied for an hour and then allowed myself lunch, which usually consists of salad and carbs. Never eat red meat but occasionally treat myself to chicken/pork.
I've been underweight since forever. I'm almost 20, 5ft 2 and weigh 6stone2. I know that whenever I go to the doctors he makes a comment about it but he's never took it further so I guess that's why I've not bothered before about it.
Should probably add I've suffered with chronic depression since around the age of 13, never been on any medication however. And suffer with anaemia, of which recently I've run out of iron tablets for.
Any help/advice would be great. Thanks x
