    I think getting back to a healthy weight would be more fun for the anorexic person.

    • Getting back to a healthy weight is the most frightening thing for an anorexic person though. An obese person would actually get joy from losing weight.

        Yeah, I'm just thinking which would I prefer to be. I never considered what state their mind would be in, thanks:)

        How right you are.

        If I gain any form of weight, I flip out and start restricting more things.

    One is a diagnosed psychological condition which you can get free help for. I think that more anorexics get back to a healthy weight than morbidly obese people before they die, but being anorexic is much less fun than being obese. Neither is that fun, but anorexia comes with voices in the head and paranoia etc,

      Actually obesity was recently defined as a disease aswell. Google it

        Disease maybe, but not strictly psychological. Anorexia is psychological and physical.

          I have to say that I think obesity is véry psychological. Most people don't chóose to have their ateries clog with fat and risk a heartattack.
          When I was in high-school I was bullied a lot and began eating an incredible amount of fatty foods. I didn't even notice at the time. Now that I look back to what was going on with me then I knew it wasn't because I chose it. My mental state drove me to fill the voids of loneliness with foods that were like ' a hug from the inside'. I'm working on regaining a healthy weight again and see that period a nothing more than something to forget. I learned from it though.

            I'm delving too deep into semantics, I realise that, but it was the bullying at lack of good friends that left you feeling ostracised, not the food itself directly. It may have caused the over-eating, but with anorexia it is the other way around. That is the point I'm making, although obviously it makes no practical difference to you because it still happened to you.

              Does it matter if it's psychological or not? They're both just as bad as each other in my mind. I see where your coming from with the anorexia though, it's definitely harder to get the anorexic person to have a healthy perception of themselves, and overcome the psychological disease itself. But I'd say the journey back to normal weight would be harder for the obese person.

            Not really. The difference is crucial.

              If your saying that obesity does not come along with or is caused by psychological problems, I'm afraid to say you're wrong.

    Anorexia is much more dangerous than obesity (in the short term at least).

    I'd rather be a fat guy.

  • I've suffered from anorexia before. It's the worst feeling in the world, knowing that you're slowly dieing but at the same time you never feel thin enough.

    Both are bad for you, but I think I would rather be obese than anorexic. Anorexia is a mental condition that takes therapy and a lot of hard work to cure. A lot of obese people can change their situation without therapy, as long as they stay committed to losing their weight.

    Nothing tastes as good, as being thin feels!!

    I read comments and it seems like a lot of people think, that there is the choice between obesity and unhealthy thinness. However, anorexia is not only about being underweight, but first of all it is a serious mental illness. If you are anorexic, you fell like being morbidly obese even when you are severely emaciated.

    Obese. All I'd need to fix it is a greatsword (which I have) and a few minutes.

    Anorexic since it would mean I have room to gain weight.

    What a lousy choice this is. I chose anorexic, but it was probably because so many are obese. We are programmed by our evolution to eat everything in sight because in the ancient past, that's what was needed for survival since there wasn't that much food available and you might go a long time in between meals.

    Now that there is food of the most fattening kind everywhere, we eat ourselves to death. Who in the hell needs cheese on his/her french fries? I've often thought that North Americans will eat anything if you put some cheap cheese on it.

    McDonalds and the gang serve the most atrocious foods for health. But, don't blame them. It's capitalism in action and real Americans like Romney and Ryan would pass out at the thought of any kind of regulation since it is obviously the work of the devil.

    My defense is to treat these caloric cafes like houses of ill repute and stay out. In fact paying for a roll in the hay would burn calories instead of adding them. For more details you will have to await my book Keeping Off Kalories Through Karnal Kopulation.

    Both are unhealthy, but at least if I'm obese I don't have to be hungry.

  • anorexic, or course. it's hard for me to see people not in a good shape, in general.

    But at least i'd be able to have sex with an anorexic girl, while anything fat makes me real good in my ninja disappearing skills.

    anorexic because when your obese, more people make fun of you. (i know anorexic people probably get made of too, but still)

    when your anorexic you probably at least feel healthier than if you were morbidly obese

    Anorexic just because it's easier to get back to normal weight

      • I don't know much about the actual anorexia as an illnes, so i'm speaking from a weight lifter point of view (cause we have to gain weight really fast). How about mass gainers? not as a meal replacement, but as a supplement -6000calories daily overload, seems to me that anything would grow!

          Anorexia is a hard condition to "fix". A person could get treatment for it and be fine for a amount of time, but then suddenly have a relapse. There's the constant voice at the back of your mind constantly ridiculing and telling you to continue counting your calories and how evil it is to gain. If you read blogs on it, some of the main focuses are being "perfect" and by losing the all the fat you'll reach the goal to "perfection". After awhile, it becomes a addiction.

          A supplement of that kind probably would do something, but ana's would obsess over the calories and do every they could Not to take it. I'm not exactly sure what they do in Eating Disorder Rehab, but I'm sure supplements play a large part.
