I’ve had my battles with weight but I’ve never thought of it as an eating disorder. I just wanted to be a certain weight that defined me as skinny enough. I didn’t exactly diet the right watly though. Instead of working out.. I. Decided to skip meals for about three months.. I ate. Just not as much. Instead of losing five pounds I. Lost thirteen.. but I’m not like that anymore .. But I find a weird,dark comfort in starvation … It makes me feel calm…

It is control when you feel out of control or have little to no control over your environment or situation. It is also a method of punishment for feeling like you were never skinny enough. Denial of food causes a rush of endorphins – which is why you may feel calm. Plus the balance of being in control of this – and no one else can take that from you as they can in other areas of your life.
Being in control in an out of control life or situation can cause people to stop eating. I battled it for years so I promise you I understand
Starvation is not the way to go, Wednesday. You can find other coping mechanisms.

Yeah. Either eat too much or not enough. Eat grapevine and you won’t put on the weight. If you binge eat for comfort then the problem lies elsewhere. You seem pretty cool
