People who say they want an eating disorder are infuriatingly stupid and ignorant. It's like wanting an addiction because then you can get the benefit of being high, or wanting cancer so you get the benefit of cards saying nice things to you, or wanting a broken leg so you can get the benefit of sitting in a wheelchair and not having to walk. It's a shitty illness with one so-called benefit... a benefit which most people actually find - and I swear I'm not lying - really unattractive. The whole "skinny = pretty" thing has never made sense in my mind anyway.
Rant over, I'll move on. I've never had an eating disorder, but I've been accused of it because of my thinness. I go through periods where I find my body unattractive... but because I'm very, very thin not because I believe I'm fat. It isn't attractive, it's unhealthy and kind of embarrassing.
The fact the eating disorders even exist is one of the things that makes me feel sick about humanity :(
Wanting to be sick or have a disorder is actually a completely different disorder. I get that some people might want to have an eating disorder so they can be thin. But it's always something to keep in mind before you go about calling people "infuriatingly stupid and ignorant". Just a thought.
Have you ever had an eating disorder?
