If you have any kind of starvation based eating disorder, get rid of it before you try to lose weight or all of your efforts will feel wasted.
I have a stress-starvation eating disorder, when I'm stressed out I can go a week and longer without eating enough for even a day. It's not at all because I want to be thin, when I'm stressed the thought of food makes me stomach sick, brushing my teeth triggers my gag reflex... I start eating again and gain 5-10 pounds of fat back, at the same time my body has eaten a bit of my muscle that I worked for to keep going....
No, I do not have a body image problem, I actually hate the way I look and lose weight when I'm starving myself, so before you go and assume I'm anorexic, an eating disorder is a term used when food is not being eaten in healthy ways.
"Eating disorders refer to a group of conditions defined by abnormal eating habits that may involve either insufficient or excessive food intake to the detriment of an individual's physical and mental health."
