Would this be considered an eating disorder?

I've always been skinny and used to eat like a horse and would never gain weight. But now I hardly ever eat. I don't starve myself but sometimes I can go 2 maybe 3 days without eating something. And usually when I do eat I don't eat a lot but I eat enough to fill me up. Now that school has started I don't have a lunch, I'm try a graduate early so that's why. But my dad usually buys snacks for me to take to school and I usually don't eat them. I also don't eat breakfast. Sometimes after school I eat once or I don't. But would this be considered as some kind of eating disorder? I also have never been chubby or anything so it's not like I purposely don't eat..

I agree with the previous posters. You need to eat. I was once like you. I never, ever worried or even thought about when I ate. I was thin my entire life. It wasn't that I tried not to eat, I just wasn't very hungry. I didn't even notice I wasn't eating. In my eyes, I was eating when I was hungry and, not eating when I was full... what's the problem?The problem is that now, I'm 45 years old with a BELLY! The hormones will kick in. To most people, I am not fat. But, for someone like me.. who was never overweight, it's a big deal. Eat but, make sure you eat as much fresh food as possible. Processed food is the enemy here. This is not a crusade but, my experience. I grew up on processed food and, I was NEVER overweight. But, now, I am (to me). I think these things build up in your body over years. I now have a belly and, I have never had one before.

• I believe some people can go on without eating very much. It all depends on your body. You have to realize that when you do this, you are risking the health of your children. If you are a girl, this could cause serious health problems to your kids. But, with that aside, I don't think it's an eating disorder.
