Hi everybody this is my first post, I am newly married to a wonderful man. My life seems perfect, but I cant stop obsessing about my weight. I weigh myself constantly workout hard everyday throw up at least 2 times a day and use laxatives. My husband wants me to get help but I dont know if I really have a disorder. I need help trying to figure this all out
jennifer...congratulations on your marriage!
If this behavior is affecting the quality of your life (and it will, if it isn't already), you deserve to get an assessment with a professional to determine how you can free yourself from these obsessions.
Your obsession with weight and your need to attempt to control your weight with laxatives is an indication that your identity is mixed up with how you perceive your body. It's not unusual, but it can become a very dangerous health situation, if it isn't already. Please seek help now, before it becomes worse...Take care..Jan ♥
