I think I might be anorexic, even though I don't starve myself, I do not eat when I'm hungry sometimes, I just wait till I can't stand it, but that is because I'm usually really busy and don't have time. But I do think I am super fat all the time, even though everyone tells me I'm skinny, but I know I'm not, I have like 2 inches of fat over my whole body, but I also know that I'm not terribly fat. I don't eat a lot though, I quit counting calories and just eat very little, but really bad foods with lots of calories, once again because I have been really busy. But in the morning I don’t eat breakfast, I know it’s bad, but once I start eating I can’t stop, so I don’t, and then I don’t have time so I have to sit around hungry, sometimes with hunger pains, until 1 or 2 pm Is this really bad? I’m hoping once I’m back to my regular schedule in a couple of weeks, I’ll eat okay again, but do you think I have a disorder. What bothers me most is people tell me I’m perfect and skinny and fit and have a great body, which is good, but I don’t believe them, when I look in the mirror I see a big pot belly fat rolls stomach and fat jiggly thighs etc. Why do they say I look good when I don’t? Or am I being too hard on myself? Sorry this is so long, but I'm kinda venting because I'm having a tough week.

ur too hard on yourself...ur veiw of ur own body image is often distorted, thats not uncommon...sounds to me as though ur obsessing over it which is not a particularly good sign..doesnt mean u have a disorder but it does mean that u should learn some proper eating patterns...u say u wait till ur in hunger pains and then try and cover it by saying your busy...your instantly giving yourself an excuse by doing so...be upfront...you can eat healthy and often and still lose weight...and at 128 pounds i wonder why your worrying in the first place...dont be so obsessive about it...eat regularly, make them healthier choices, have a splurge only so often and u will atleast stay the same weight now...and u should start eating breakfast...if u believe u have no self control over how much u eat for this meal, then fix breakfast last thing before your out the door for work so you dont have time to sit and splurge...otherwise u need more self control to say enoughs enough....to wait till 1 or 2pm to eat is going to wreck havoc with your body...you would actually lose more weight, if that was your goal, by giving your body more energy to do so...that includes a few meals before 2pm...but i dont think your goal should be to lose anymore weight..i dont know how tall you are but 128 pounds is a feather..dont obsess otherwise its self destructing.

Jane,
I think that you could be well on your way to some type of eating disorder, because most people who suffer from eating disorders start out with distorted body images of themselves. Eating disorders aren't black and white. People who suffer from eating disorders tend to suffer from low self images and low self esteem. If this situation doesn't change when you get less stressed, then I would say that you may consider seeking some professional help.
