Does This Sound Like I May Be Developing an Eating Disorder?

Question by Hmmm….: Does this sound like I may be developing an eating disorder?
Every single minute of every single day I can only think about how fat I look. I always wonder what people think about my weight. I am always nervous around guys because I think they think I am fat. I think people talk behind my back about my weight. I have problems eating certain things. I still do eat them but it really small bits because I don’t want people to think I am a pig. My mom was anorexic.

Not necessarily. It does indicate the potential for you to become anorexic, so I would definitely get some therapy before this happens. And if you were alive when your Mom was anorexic, I absolutely would, since this gave you a behavior model to imitate when you were very impressionable.
