Welcome to _unedible, a community for the eating-disordered to congregate, share stories and information, support each other, post thinspiration and document progress. This is NOT a place for people who do not have an eating disorder already, or are looking for tips to lose weight. We are not here to "train" you to be "ana" or "mia", and inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.

Whatever eating disorder you have, whether you are self-diagnosed or clinically diagnosed, and whatever BMI you have, you are welcome here. We will not assume superiority based on weight, or look down on those members who are struggling to get past overweight. No matter what point in your eating disorder you are at, you are encouraged to post here!

Because of the amount of trolling that occurs in communities like these, this community will be HEAVILY moderated/maintained. If you act in a way I or any of the mods deem inappropriate, you WILL be banned. Any off-topic posts will be deleted and a warning will be given to the user. It is very important that this be a safe place for all members, and if any other members compromise that they will be removed.

Once I have read and approve your application, your membership will be accepted and you will have posting access. At that point, please post the SAME application you sent to me in an introductory post so our members can get to know you! After you are accepted, you will have a 48-hour grace period in which time you must post this introduction. If you do not do so, you will be deleted from the community due to inactivity...if you wish to rejoin after that period, you may do so, but the same rules will still apply.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHAT EATING DISORDER YOU HAVE, PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOU ARE "ANA". ANOREXIA IS A MEDICALLY-RECOGNIZED DISORDER AND HAS VERY SPECIFIC GUIDELINES, SO IF YOU ARE NOT UNDERWEIGHT AND YOU GET YOUR PERIOD, YOU ARE NOT ANOREXIC. PLEASE READ THROUGH THE GUIDELINES FOR EACH EATING DISORDER AND ACCURATELY TELL US WHAT ED YOU HAVE. "ANA" IS NOT BETTER THAN ANY OTHER ED, AND NO ONE WILL LOOK DOWN ON YOU IF YOU ARE ED-NOS OR ANYTHING ELSE! IF YOU POST INCORRECT INFORMATION, WE WILL CALL YOU ON IT, AND YOU MUST CHANGE IT. IF YOU REFUSE, YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COMMUNITY.

DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA: ANOREXIA NERVOSA

♥Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height (e.g., weight loss leading to maintenance of body weight less than 85% of that expected; or failure to make expected weight gain during period of growth, leading to body weight less than 85% of that expected).
♥Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though underweight.
&heartsDisturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-evaluation, or denial of the seriousness of the current low body weight.
♥In postmenarcheal females, amenorrhea, i.e., the absence of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles. (A woman is considered to have amenorrhea if her periods occur only following hormone, e.g., estrogen, administration.)

Specify type:

***Restricting Type: during the current episode of Anorexia Nervosa, the person has not regularly engaged in binge-eating or purging behavior (i.e., self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas)
***Binge-Eating/Purging Type: during the current episode of Anorexia Nervosa, the person has regularly engaged in binge-eating or purging behavior (i.e., self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas)

DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA: BULIMIA NERVOSA

♥Recurrent episodes of binge eating. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following:
1. eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat during a similar period of time and under similar circumstances
2. a sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (e.g., a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating)
♥Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior in order to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, or other medications; fasting; or excessive exercise.
♥The binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors both occur, on average, at least twice a week for 3 months.
♥Self-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight.
♥The disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of Anorexia Nervosa.

Specify type:

***Purging Type: during the current episode of Bulimia Nervosa, the person has regularly engaged in self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas
***Nonpurging Type: during the current episode of Bulimia Nervosa, the personas used other inappropriate compensatory behaviors, such as fasting or excessive exercise, but has not regularly engaged in self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas.

EATING DISORDER NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED

***The Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified category is for disorders of eating that do not meet the criteria for any specific Eating Disorder. Examples include:

♥For females, all of the criteria for Anorexia Nervosa are met except that the individual has regular menses.
♥All of the criteria for Anorexia Nervosa are met except that, despite significant weight loss, the individual's current weight is in the normal range.
♥All of the criteria for Bulimia Nervosa are met except that the binge Eating and inappropriate compensatory mechanisms occur at a frequency of less than twice a week or for a duration of less than 3 months.
♥The regular use of inappropriate compensatory behavior by an individual normal body weight after eating small amounts of food (e.g. self-induced vomiting after the consumption of two cookies).
♥Repeatedly chewing and spitting out, but not swallowing, large amounts of food.
♥Binge-eating disorder: recurrent episodes of binge eating in the absence of the regular use of inappropriate compensatory behaviors characteristic of Bulimia Nervosa (see p. 729 for suggested research criteria).
