[QUOTE="buddy, post: 473433, member: 12886"] When i was very young I had an eating disorder. I had a rule that I could only eat 500 calories and of that 500 I had to throw up at least half. (you would never know now...food is NOT an issue as an adult, other eating too much at times... and right now, too anxious to eat) Anyway, very different scenario EXCEPT I will share that anxiety over food (well over anything really) was relieved psychologically by throwing up. The reward was the chemical release that doing it had on my brain...some kind of calming effect. So, even if I was caught, punished whatever...didn't matter. The anxiety was too bad and the vomiting was reinforced by my feeling so much better. I realize it may not seem like a typical eating disorder his being so young and all but I wonder if a psychologist who deals with boys and eating disorders could give you some advice??? Just throwing it out there.... [/QUOTE]
