Hello. Lately, I've been thinking that I could possibly have an eating disorder. I'm not doing anything super unhealthy that I know of, but can someone please tell me if I have one? My goal is to lose 5-10 pounds. I'm currently sitting around 130, and I want to stay in a healthy range for my height (5'9"). I want to lose the weight because I've been fascinated by the modeling industry, specifically Victoria's Secret. Once I'm old enough, it would be a dream come true to model for them. My name is even Victoria. Anyway, I weigh myself in the morning when I wake up and usually sometime after lunch or dinner. I've been trying to workout for around an hour each day, the exercise mainly being cardio with a little strength training. I eat solid meals. For example, this was what I ate today. Breakfast: two (vegan) bacon, egg, and cheese frittata muffins, water with lemon. Lunch: a frozen meal with chicken, carrots, brussel sprouts, and riced cauliflower. Snack: the healthy version of cheeto puffs, whatever they're called and one small Reese's cup. Dinner: a small bowl of hamburger helper, broccoli, and orange wedges. All of that added up to about 1200 calories and was pretty filling. I told one of my friends about my goal and she went all extreme body positivity on me, and said I must have an eating disorder. I don't think I have one. What do you think? Also, if you have any weight loss tips, feel free to share in the comments.

Insanity
According to Albert Einstein, Insanity is defined by doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results I disagree That may be true...
Hi, that sounds healthy to me. It’s great to have a healthy weight loss goal especially if it motivates you to exercise and avoid junk food. I think your friend is overreacting. I actually do have an eating disorder, and for me it’s all about stress eating, binges at odd hours, then feeling ashamed and purging or starving to feel better. Your situation sounds totally different, more like an athlete training for a specific goal, NOT a mental health disorder. Good luck to you, I hope you land that modeling job. But if you do, be careful because the stress & competition of the modeling biz often leads to eating disorders :/ I think you’re safe tho.
ReplyThere is a healthy balance between processed foods and Gods foods. Processed foods are like organic bread, organic crackers, pasta, any type of foods that is processed in a factory and Gods foods are like fruits, vegetables, land (steak, chicken, etc) and sea (shrimp, fish, etc). At the end of each week analyze and get a feel of which foods you consumed the most. If you live like that, I promise you, you will notice a difference. Especially if you are exercising.
