If you’re trying to lose weight or simply be healthier, you might punish yourself for breaking your diet by skipping a meal or even fasting for a day. You could punish yourself for over eating by over exercising to the point of feeling faint or sick.

These forms of self-punishment can be tied to an eating disorder. If you participate in these, speak to a mental health professional about your relationship with food and exercise.
