I am 18 years old. As a dancer, I've always struggled with body image and self esteem, and I was surrounded by girls with eating disorders for a vast majority of my life. When I was 16 this really began to set it. I would eat 500 calories a day, starve myself, and exercise constantly, binge, throw up, laxatives.. My boyfriend at the time saw what was happening and really helped me through it. Now I'm 18, and that boyfriend is long gone. I'm under a lot of stress and am finding myself resorting back to my old ways. The difference is that this time I'm not getting hungry? I'll go a week hardly eating, and then 3 or 4 days of eating way too much. I hate food, simply because I hate feeling full. Is this something I should be worried about?
