Is it normal that i'm jealous of anorexics?

no worries, you're well on your the way.

A proven way to lose weight is to work out and eat right. ;)

No, it is not normal. Anorexics are sick people and they have it really hard on their bodies and on their minds. Believe me, some of them wish it wasn't so and here you are, I guess a healthy person wanting to feel horrible side effects of being anorexic.

Anorexia is a disease! I feel bad for people who have it. You should NOT be jealous!

No it's not normal. I really hate it when others complain about how they look. Be happy with yourself.

Anorexic people aren't attractive by any means, I actually feel sorry for them. I'm sure they have so much pain emotionally and physically.

I'm 5'3 and weight who knows... I haven't been on the scale for maybe half a year just because of a doctors appointment. I proabably weigh about 128 lbs. I'm curvy and like how I look although I admit I would like to tone up a little bit... then it would be perfect for me.

But it really is human nature to compare. I can't lie I do compare myself to other women, but then I think everybody has their preference no matter what it is by looks and personality both. I always see girls looking at me too and they always seem to have the face I wish I looked like that.

Also when anorexic people begin to eat again normally their body starts gaining weight much fast than before they decided to become anorexic due to the fact they lose their metabolism, it slows down more.

Just eat healthy and get exercise in. I'm actually planning on getting up in mornings to start swimming at our center here about 3-4 times a week. I know for sure it'll make me feel great. :)

It's completely normal that instead of wanting to have the will power to..I don't know maybe...HAVE A DIET?! You rather havin will power to starve yourself

Having overcome anorexia myself, I send my condolences to you.

Eating what you wish in moderation combined with leading a healthy lifestyle is the only real way to reach your body's natural, healthy weight.

I feel as though you should look into body dysmorphic disorder.

i dont think you realize that they arent doing it on purpose. they have an eating disorder, and without help it can be nearly impossible to eat

Wtf? Not normal! These ladies look sick, ARE sick, and most of them die in a suffering way whats ur prob?

I've recently lost 11 lbs through healthy eating in the past 5 weeks. I just cut out the crap and have fruit for breakfast, less bread than usual, proper dinner and try to exercise a little each day.

Do it the right way - try Weight Watchers, it's really easy method.

No it is not normal. Suffering through anorexia is the most heartbreaking, terrible experience of my life. You want to lose weight? Anorexia is not a diet. It is a physical and mental disease. You'll never stop hating yourself, and you will NEVER feel thin, even when you look like a skeleton. I hate when people say they want to be anorexic.

You are jealous of their self-control. The thing is, they have no self-control at all. It is a similar root cause as obesity; anorexics and the obese do not have the self-control to eat healthily.

Fasting is NOT healthy, nor is it a good way to lose and keep off weight. Dieting and exercise is a much better way to go if you really want to lose weight... but unless you are dangerously over-weight the chances are there is no point you losing weight. You are probably neither ugly nor unhealthy, and it is sad that you worry so much about your weight that you envy people with a very dangerous and sometimes even fatal mental disorder.

By the way, I don't think fasting is bad in religious cases, so don't think I'm hating.

Believe me, as someone who has a very hard time gaining weight and often feels ugly because of my skinniness, there are a lot of people jealous of YOUR weight, so feel good about your body.

I have always been jealous of alcoholics, I just wish I had the self control to be able to get drunk constantly and destroy my relationships, jobs, and social life. Also I don't really care if I live 10 years or 80 years as long as i'm drunk the whole time!

Are you seeing a parallel here? It makes less sense when you compare it to another disease. You should be happy with who you are and know that your beautiful! If you want to lose weight, diet and exercise.

You're not alone. I know exactly how you feel, so I voted normal. I don't think it's good though.

Aww, I know how you feel. Just try losing weight and being healthy the right way because their
way is not worth it.

I love my proportions (C cups, small waist, big butt), but I do want to trim down some. I could eat all day if I could and I don't gain much weight. I just love eating, I love food. When I do gain, it's not really noticeable but I do feel heavier. Sometimes, I wish I could go just one day without eating..just to see if I could do it. I don't think I have the will power to.

So, you're not alone in feeling the way you do. But they have a DISEASE. They are not healthy. And I'm sure they aren't happy.

I'm jealous of them for being so thin.

Despite the fact that I know I am not fat and I know that I have a good, healthy figure, I still feel as if I need to be thinner and I feel bad for being under the delusion that thinner=more attractive even though most men that I have met told me that they prefer features but I think that that is a fancy way to tell me that I am fat but they don't want me to feel bad about it (I am 5'4, 125 lbs size 6 pants and c cups). I can lose down to 115 (which I have) but I still look like a clown with my fat ass, my big hips and my chest. I have sabotaged my own self-esteem thinking that no one is honest enough to tell me that I need to lose weight. I sometimes wonder what those thin girls think when they see me, probably that I am a disgusting gluttonous pig...

But everyone tells me I'm thin. So I feel bad for anorexics. The difference between me and an anorexic is that I live a very active lifestyle and need the calories to burn, I can't let my self-esteem get in the way of my life. This body is all I've got.

Normal, I guess.

So become bulimic. Perfect solution.
