I think I am "anorexic" without even knowing it, and I know my brother agrees ( Read more... )

Usually, one can usually be labelled "anorexic" if it's after 3 months of restricting/fasting/guilty eating/whatever. If you're more "junk food phobic" or "health/exercised obsessed", you might fall under the category of orthorexic, which falls under the category of ED-NOS (eating disorder not otherwise speceified). Basically, ED-NOS is any eating disorder that ISN'T anorexia, bulimia, or compulsive over-eating ( ... )

Orthorexic sounds a lot like me.

I'm not anorexic, hence why I put it in quotations I simply couldn't think of a better term. I tried to make myself eat today but when I try to take a bite of food, it just repulses me and I instantly lose my appetite. :(

Yeah it's weird...I was never 100% diagnosed with anorexia but I also felt orthorexic during those times. So would I be orthanorexic? Ha. Perhaps you might be getting sick...like a flu or something, and the appetite loss is temporary.

It isn't the flu... I've been like this for a few weeks now and it isn't changing. I dunno :( I don't really feel too concerned about it, but everyone around me is so I figured I'd make an entry.

My mom buys so much shitty food as well and it also drives me nuts. Because i'm the type of person who rarely buys shitty food for myself, but if it's there, i will eat it for sure, i find it so incredibly hard to resist. I'm totally an emotional eater as well and a boredom eater.

I'm also a food elitist, even though clearly sometimes i will eat shitty food too. I think it's mostly cause well i have good knowledge about healthy food and whatnot, but also when i see people eating shitty (which is inherently out of control cause why do people want to put shit in their bodies?, i think about my own problems with food and then society's problems with food and it just makes me so angry.

As for you being a nutjob, i have no idea, but i'm sure Erin is a good person to talk to, and talk to more people or professionals. Good luck!
