DD, I said OCED. Obessive Compulsive EATING disorder. There is no such a thing. I do know that there is OCD. I live with one.

There is.. however a Compulsive eating disorder.

Also, very true, only I have to answer to myself.

Thank you for not judging me. I love people like you.

Through a little bit of research, there actually IS an obsessive-compulsive eating disorder. What it actually is would be obsessive compulsive disorder with the symptoms manifesting as eating/not eating versus compulsive handwashing or locking of doors or cleaning or a variety of other potential compulsions. Eating is the symptom rather than the disease itself. In fact, anorexia and bulemia can be obsessive compulsive disorders depending on how the symptoms manifest. If it interferes with your daily activities and crosses the line into obsession and you cannot stop yourself from engaging in the activities then it is compulsive. On the swing side, compulsive overeating is a well-documented eating disorder.

*The most common eating disorders are Anorexia, Bulimia, Compulsive Eating, and Binge Eating Disorder. (copied from psychotherapist.net regarding eating disorders)

Just my 2 cents.
