Is it possible to involuntarily form an eating disorder? The reason I'm asking is because of this: me and my boyfriend (who live together) have been strapped for cash, therefore we don't have a lot of food around. I haven't had a full meal at all during the past week, reasons being because of the aforementioned and because I've been busy with work, school, and the upcoming holidays. I made myself macaroni and cheese (horrible I know) not too long ago, but just making that took a lot of concentration, and I've been dizzy and tired all day. I also guessed that it could be lack of vitamins and/or REAL food...
[/QUOTE]And even after I ate my food, I felt like throwing it back up (sometimes I get nauseous when I'm extremely hungry)... but I'm scared, because I'm getting paranoid that my body is getting too used to not getting enough food... :-/[/QUOTE]

If you haven't eaten (properly) in a while, your body will respond poorly to a sudden intake of food (for instance, nausea). Paranoia is also a symptom of malnourishment, as are poor motor skills, a short temper and mild depression. Get some food in you. And, when managing your income, bear in mind that good nourishment is the top priority. Everything else comes second.

Oh, and just for the record: genuine eating disorders are always involuntary; if it's voluntary, it's not a disorder but a bad habit.

I eat a loooooooooooot.

My mom's like: "O, watch out. You'll gain weight."



That makes me eat even more.

[/QUOTE] Are you surprised?

I'm rubbish at eating too. If you haven't eaten properly for a few days/weeks, you'll find your stomach shrinks therefore you'll feel full really quickly and not be able to eat much, and in turn, feel sick if you do eat too much.

Just try and make sure you eat one meal a day. Tis what I try to do.

You're right.

I wish I could eat one meal a day. I'd die. I can't do that. =/

Hi Ravie, it sounds to me like you are anxious and stressed out by things in your life at this time not just financial limitations, which leads you to not eating and feeling out of sorts. I'm a fairly big guy and most days i don't eat but one meal myself. The other day i didn't eat a thing not because i didn't have food, i just felt really blah. Many people feel blah this time of year. You know  macaroni and cheese is actually a good meal for people on a tight budget because it contains dairy, protein and carbohydrate.

@ Thomas:

Sue me, bitch. ;)

That happens to me when I don't eat much for a long time, I guess it's cause my stomach gets smaller, so, when I eat an average size meal, I feel sick due to the fact that I was eating less.

Lately though, I've been putting on the lbs!
