I think I had an ED when I was younger

[Lycholko]

When I was in middle school, I was obsessed with fitness and eating healthy. I found many videos of workouts and healthy recipes and tried to follow them. I wasn't at all overweight and my eating habits weren't that bad. However, from all the info I was shoving down my throat and seeing my family's diet, I felt like I had to do better. I would only have healthy breakfasts and lunches. These meals were not at all nutritious though. I would only have a small thing of yogurt for breakfast and boiled corn and green beans with no salt or butter. For snacks, I would have like half a cucumber without cutting it and with out any dip. When we ate out, I woukd get the smallest meal or the "healthiest" meal. I would constantly weight myself in hopes of losing weight. I would get up everyday at 7 and try to workout. I cant remeber how long this went on for. I remember that i did lose like one pound at least but gained it back and got really upset. Is this some sort of ED? I never thought about this before so I'm not really sure.

I believe you had Orthorexia Nervosa when you were younger, which causes you to become obsessed with healthy eating and a good diet. Although I'm not sure.

That does sound accurate. I just didn't want to be considered obese, fat, or overweight like the rest offamily so I became obsessed.
