I don’t feel like eating these days. I lost interest in eating especially while I’m into something I won’t even bother to look at the food.

It’s not that I’m dieting or anything. I never have in mind to diet and I don’t need to as I’m genetically structured as a tiny-thin homo sepian. Just that, these days I’m having very bad eating habit. When I eat, I eat alot and when I don’t, I don’t touch a thing.

Am I sick? No, I’m just fine. Physically I’m all set. May be I’m mentally sick.

The most common element surrounding ALL Eating Disorders is the inherent presence of a low self esteem.

OUCH! It hurts yet so true. What kind of “low self-esteem”, I’m yet to discover.

I’m 5’2″ with 46kg. It’s been a few years my height and weight never go over that limit. I guess it’s normal that I stop growing in height but the weight is limitless so should fluctuate from time to time.

According to some standard weight vs height charts, I got to have around 52kg for my height. So I’m surely under weight. I do some checking and found out these common types of eating disorders and their symptoms.

Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is an extremely dangerous, life-threatening eating disorder in which a person intentionally deprives themselves of food and can literally starve to death in an attempt to be what they consider “thin.”

Binge-Eating
Out-of-control episodes of consuming abnormally large amounts of food. People with this disorder eat whether they are hungry or not and continue eating well past being uncomfortably full.

Compulsive Eating Disorder
Compulsive eaters feel incapable of controlling how much or how often they eat. They may feel unable to stop eating, eat very fast, eat when they’re not hungry, eat when they’re only alone, or eat nearly non-stop throughout the day.

Bulimia Nervosa
Consuming large amounts of food in a very short period of time, and immediately “purge,” ridding their bodies of the just-eaten food by self-inducing vomiting, taking enemas, or abusing laxatives or other medications.

Obesity
obesity leads to chronic and often life-threatening eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa.

Out of those, the most relevant one would be … Anorexic? My sister teases me everyday that I’m anorexia cos’ I’m too thin compare to her (her so-called “Growing Child”, rather a little PIG!). No, I don’t think I’m Anorexia. Anorexics are those who starve themselves and dying to do anything to be thin. I’m definitely NOT anorexia, cos’ I don’t like being thin and I never starve myself.

I prefer soup and gravy these days than solid food. I’m sick of meat, it sticks in my teeth. I hate milk, I don’t like cereal, I have a problem with butter, margarine, I dislike wheat and I’m scare of fruits. I guess my thinness is cos of deficiency in protein, vitamins, fibers, carbohydrates, etc in my diet. Haha I’ll die of malnutrition very soon.

Nah…My guess is, I’m just having mid-20s crisis such as stress, worries, laziness, family problems, life hardships, parenting, kids, too much day dreaming, etc, which push me to have eating disorder.

So, any of you have any irregular eating patterns or any solution to solve my eating habit, do share with me too.
