Whenever I hear the phrase "eating disorder" I think anorexia or bulimia or someone who is extremely overweight.
But what I've started to consider lately, is this: Could it be possible that there is something in between? A person who suffers from both, indulging and punishment from food. Someone who maintains a normal healthy weight, but it's due to a long chain of indulging and then punishing. Indulge. Punish. You get the point.
I wonder, because sometimes I think I might have a disorder. I think about food all the time, I love to eat. Is that normal though? Lots of people love food, and they aren't over weight. Is that normal?
Then there are times where I don't eat. Sometimes I'm not hungry. Sometimes I just think I don't need it. Sometimes there's nothing healthy enough that I'd consider putting in my mouth. Is that normal? Should normal people eat that way?
I'm just very confused. I've lived my whole life picking and choosing, eating and not eating, planning and spontaneity when it comes to food. I think I might have an eating disorder. But I am not fat. And I am not underweight. So would it honestly be considered a disorder?
Sorry if it's random, but it was just a sudden thought. I wonder if one day I'll figure it out. Any input?

I dont think there is anything wrong with eating. I love to eat to. I love food. I even thought about goin to culinary school. But I dont think you should be punishing yourself for wanting to enjoy food. As long as you know when to stop so that you wont overeat...I say "heck...go for it" lol
