RE: SPD related anorexia and bulimia.
Ah! I just want to let you know that you are not alone!! I've struggled with bulimia since I was 19. My earliest memories are of me hiding and bingeing on masses of sugary foods, not registering that I am full (this has led to a food addiction that I also battle. I'm "average" sized so this is always very surprising to people ha). I can tell when I'm hungry, but only very hungry, and only when I am overfull. I have learned to eat based on calories. This is dangerous for us--but it's the only thing I can do because I cannot determine how much is too much or too little based on size, nor will I be able to feel if it is enough while eating. I stick to a basic meal plan that doesn't change too much (yay for spd and routine!) and I have previously done the calorie math so I can try to not obsess over it throughout the day. Also, it is good for all spd people to eat every 2 hours, so planning small meals and small snacks is helpful. It actually has been helping me to somewhat determine the difference between hunger and other bodily feelings, by knowing whether I have recently eaten or not. I know your post is old, but I couldn't help but respond--even if just knowing you are not alone is all this does for you!
