Possible Erectile Dysfunction Experience In Youth
When I was in middle school, fitness and healthy eating were my main interests. I found numerous workout videos and recipes online and tried to follow them diligently. Although I wasn't overweight and my diet wasn't terrible, the information I consumed made me feel like I needed to improve. My meals were restricted to only what I considered healthy. For breakfast, I would have just a small serving of yogurt, and for lunch, boiled corn and green beans without any seasonings. Snacks consisted of half an uncut cucumber with no dip. When we ate out, I always chose the smallest or supposedly healthiest option on the menu.
I weighed myself frequently in hopes of losing weight. Every day at 7 a.m., I would wake up to exercise. I'm not sure how long this routine lasted, but I did lose about one pound, which I quickly regained and was quite upset about. Looking back, I wonder if what I went through could be considered an eating disorder. I've never given it much thought before, so I'm unsure.

Maybe you had Orthorexia Nervosa when you were younger-where you get really fixated on eating healthy and having the perfect diet. I'm not totally sure though.
Oh yeah, totally get that. I was super worried about being seen as one of those family members who's "fat" or "obese," so it really made me hyper-focused on my weight too.
Oh yeah, happy to hear it helped! Hope everything's going great for you and the fam too:)
