Hey there,

Most of my friends as well as myself have struggled with some type of body dysmorphia/disordered eating and I was wondering if anyone else could share as much or as little about their experiences as is comfortable but also list the aspects and placements that contributed to that?

I have a lot of personal planets in Virgo which could have indicated a not feeling of not being good enough/controlling nature.

You've heard of emotional eaters, but I'm an emotional starver. Being a Cancer I feel emotions very intensely, and the stronger they are, the less I can eat. This isn't only the affect of negative emotions. I was once so happy I couldn't eat for a week. Strange, I know, but also not a bad problem to have.

the only real eating disorder person i can think of was one of my roommates. virgo sun scorpio moon year of the cock. self-control freak all around. she only ate meat and vegetables since she was on the caveman diet

she was naturally muscular too, which she hated and complained about everyday

and if emotional eating counts, then most ppl are eating disordered.

most people eat way too much or for taste. food is not comfort or fun. food is only there so you don't die.

gee, you already sound like an asian virgo mother.

some of us really enjoy the taste. food is an experience for me not some activity i do in total disgust or repetitiveness just so i don't die.

If we're talking gourmands, I'm one of them.

Used to emotionally eat all the time, mellowed through the years/broke the pattern figuring out the underlying emotional issue.

But I've always liked the taste.

No clue which part in my chart does it. Jupiter ruled?

I think it's related to the control issue. When people feel weight or eating is the only thing they have control over in life, then it manifests.

For suuuure. I have lots of Virgo in my chart and I do a lot of trying to control each aspect of my environment. Not as much for the past two years but I still see remnants of that tendency in myself.

It's not strange. I have this tendency to want to go into my head and out of my body if I am stressed enough which includes depriving my body of stuff it needs. It's not a good problem either! I have to physically ground myself in some form every day.

Yep. I'm a sag rising and I can go in on some chocolate 110%
