Is it normal to want to be anorexic?

I'm in high school, 5'6", and 110 lbs. everyone tells me that I'm skinny, but I know that i'm not. I really wish I was anorexic, but I don't have the self control to keep from eating.

Is It Normal?

  • Don't be stupid! Why would you want a disease. Why would you want to ruin your life?!

    Screw this stuff. You are good as you are!

  • I think it's normal to an extent. Though, there are some apparent "health risks" involved.

  • It's normal to want to lose weight but at your size, it's not healthy and at no size is it healthy to become anorexic and really not worth the long term damage, the hospitalisation, the hunger pains, the feel of bare bone digging into your skin, the crippling depression and all the shit you and your family will have to go through as you recover.

  • Wait, let me get this straight, you want to have a mental disorder. Girl- you got one, no need to find another. Sorry if it seems harsh.

    The ability to starve oneself is not an indicator of self control.

  • It's normal to WANT to be anorexic or bulimic because it's the easy way out, and everybody wants to be skinny. As long as you don't pursue these ideas then you're fine. 110 lbs. for a 5'6 person is normal. Skinny, even. What some people don't realize is that the weight not be distributed evenly, maybe you have excess fat on your thighs or tummy. Just work out, go jogging, so sit, squats, something. Try before you think about giving up.

  • This really upsets me that people think anorexia is just where someone doesn't like eating food cause they wanna be "skinny" (whatever that word even means) it's so much deeper then that.

  • go ahead, don't eat anything, look disgustingly skinny, go hungry, be miserable, don't listen to your body and slowly rott.

    Don't be crazy. You're just fine the way you are, one thing guys find really attractive in girls is good health.

  • I always wished I was anorexic or bulimic. I wish I had the willpower to be able to control myself as well. I even have thinspiration pictures on my walls but I still eat nonstop!!!

  • 110 pounds is not underweight, I weigh 90 and I'm 5'5", I don't have any health problems, muscle weighs more than fat.

  • If you wanna be extremely unhealthy and suffer from miserable side affects, go for it! But, really? 110 can't be big. I weigh the same, and i'm a sophomore, and I'm not fat, but I'm not stick thin skinny either. But I eat like a pig and can't gain an ounce of weight because of my high metabolism, I guess. Anywho! I wouldn't suggest going anorexic. It's bad and could probably be deadly if it went on for long enough. Take a look in the mirror at your body image and really focus. If you're 110lbs, you shouldn't be overweight, or underweight, depending on your age. If you wanna get a skinny and sexy body, I'd suggest excercise and healthy food! That's much better then anorexia. :D

  • @Lady.Pam

    Either your a male with no morales or a female that didn't form a brain.

    @OP

    It is very abnormal to want the disease of anorexia. I have a feeling what you want is the recognition that models with said disease obtain and you confuse it with the disease itself. It is sad to see women today portray themselves as such and come up with such twisted dreams that should not be. Although I do not know you, I truly hope that you do not become just another number or statistic for deceased anorexic women.
