Vegetarian for wrong reason?!
i wouldn't call myself bulimic or anorexic, but i used to have "food issues" where i would obsess over calories, and not eat for a few days, or purge my food sometimes!. a few months ago i became vegetarian because of a book i read which grossed me out about meat!. but i knew subconsciously i also stopped eating meat for the satisfaction of self control and not letting myself eat certain foods!. is this normal, or unhealthy!? i don't purge anymore and i eat every day now because i feel so happy that i'm witholding something from my body!. but at the same time i know a vegetarian lifestyle is very healthy for you, and i make sure i eat right etc!. i guess i was just wondering if there's anyone out there who is doing what i'm doing for the wrong reason!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am also a control freak about my foods!. About two years ago, I started working out and eating right (not veg yet though) and lost quite a bit of weight!. I became very controlling and counted all my calories and fat intake!. I still do that sometimes, but being vegan has so many benefits !.!.!. I know that I'm naturally eating better by not having dairy, eggs, or meat!. I think that if it helps you get over your eating issues, it's just fine!. I've struggled with this myself, actually!. I can admit that besides saving animals, I'm saving myself from worrying so much about what I used to eat!. I know I'll never be overweight like I was because it's almost impossible!.

I think you have a problem but have hit on a happy way to deal with it!.
Just be vigilant about slipping back into your old behavior of not eating!.
I would also recommend that you seek or continue to get help to understand the reasons for your problems-unresolved issues could lead to other types of self destructive behavior!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Somehow I doubt that you're eating a balanced diet with enough nutrition, and vegetarian has nothing to do with it!. You need to talk to a doctor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think you need to talk to your dr!. Being vegetarian is perfectly healthy, but I'm getting the feeling you may not be eating everything you should!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
How would it be wrong!? As long as you're heating HEALTHY, there isn't anything wrong!. If you're getting essential nutrients, you're fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
As long as you're being healthy now, it doesn't really matter why you started!. Just be sure to keep taking care of yourself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
