I used to be anorexic but then the doctor said I had to change or I would eventually die. At first I didn't believe him but then really weird things started happening to me (hairloss, fainting, weird moods, random pain) so I got scared as fuck and decided to get better no matter how hard it was. Here I am 18 pounds of muscles heavier and happier than ever!
my best friend starves herself because she thinks shes fat, when shes 125 and almost 18.
My twin sister had an eating disorder. It broke my heart, but right now she's pretty okay. But she relapsed twice before so I worry.
I currently have anorexia. The doctor diagnosed it under the criteria of the way I was losing weight, how/why I wanted to lose it, and the speed and amount at which I was losing weight. Which I guess was pretty rapid (for a total of 38 pounds). My cousin also has anorexia, and her doctor diagnosed it because she was underweight but still actively trying to lose more.
I think one of the weird things about anorexia is that most people assume that since you want to be skinny, you want everyone else to be skinny too, but that's not the case. I think everyone else is beautiful and I don't judge others on looks, but I judge myself quite harshly.
My feelings about food, you ask? I don't think food is "evil", or "bad", I think it's bad when I eat though. I don't like consuming calories and if I do, I immediately feel extreme guilt. I try to not eat as much as possible, and only eat when I'm needing electrolytes. I mean, its not the whole story but it's not really the food itself that I hate, it's the feelings that come with eating.
I was unable to eat properly for almost a year and I lost 15 llbs which made me borderline underweight. I had to go to the health center at school one day because I got all dizzy (from an ear infection) and they automatically assumed I was anorexic when I started telling them all the problems I had been having. It was deemed stress-related, although they never even looked at my ears, which was the main reason I went there. They started talking to me about anxiety pills and shit telling me how helpful they can be if I needed them.
My regular doctor really helped me with it though. She made no assumptions and was genuinely concerned about my health and referred me to a gastro doc. I never went, but her tips have helped me take control and gain 6 pounds back. I still have a bit of a problem eating when I get overwhelmed with stress, but I control it much better now.
I had almost no appetite and an intense feeling that I wouldn't be able to swallow my food. I think I quit breathing out of panic a couple times while trying to swallow food. I had to drink water with every mouthful or I'd freak out. Starchy foods like mashed potatoes, bread and pasta were the most difficult foods for me to eat. Shit sucked because I'm a food loving stoner who wants to be a size 7.
My sister Karen had an eating disorder.. Long ago and oh so far away I fell in love you before the second show. After our concerts we used to practice french kissing. she'd be all like oooh richard and I'd be all like oh karen. She was annoying me so I called her fat cow in front of 10,000 people. She cried and ran off the stage. She died at 32. The end
My sister had anorexia.
She was so thin it was scary, but shes better now.
I bet she was really hot when she was skinny. I love chicks that weigh like 80 pnds. ohhh god
I don`t know if i should be discusted by the fact that she had the eating disorder that kills the most people, and that you support the fact that they almost die of a lack of nurishment, or to slightly smile when i see your name, or wait, i am discusted
but for real its the white man's fault. Most other ethnic groups like their women to have meat on their bones, with nice round backside, a little golden tan and some nice curly brown hair. I like latin, arab and Israeli chicks. I think arab chicks/Israeli women are highly underrated. I'm not so much into anorexia white chicks who weigh 100 lbs and have blonde hair and pale skin. Not my thing. And I'm a white dude myself but i like my women a little darker and with flavor if you know what i mean
My friend didn't eat enough, he went to a clinic for a couple of months. He never really spoke about it though. He's ok now though
I was anorexic for 3 years and it was pure hell. I had to go and see a psychiatrist. Was threatened countless times to be hospitalised. Got told I have ruined my body and may not be able to reproduce in the future. Got heart problems. Got kidney problems. Was the talk of the school. My body was disgustingly skinny because I dropped to size 0 at one point. Was depressed and thought about suicide a lot. Threw tantrums. Smashed up my house a few times. Lost friends. Lost a boyfriend. Lost the trust of my family members. My mum constantly cried because she thought I was going to kill myself. Was scared I was going to die. Got bruises from just lying down.
I can't really remember much from that period of my life time. I've blocked most of it now but even writing it now really upsets me. I just don't know why I did it or how it happened. It got way out of control and regret every bit of it. I should have been happy, having fun with friends etc.
My ex who I met online and was with for only 4mths was bulimic but I didn't know. I remember we went to eat and she said she had to go to the bathroom when we first started dating and I joked and said don't go throw up. Come to find out like a month later she told me she was bulimic so everytime we'd eat after and she said she was goin to the restroom I knew what she was going for. She'd often binge and eat a lot of food like unreal amounts only to throw it up basically right after we ate and were getting ready to leave. She was emotionally a train wreck which sucked because she was fucken fine.
