    Are they fucked up in the head? Or are they just vain and stupid?

    I'm thinking a combination of both, really. :eek:

    They usually have something called body dis-morphia or something like that, they can't see themselves for how they really are,

    it's a psychological issue, most of the time it's the only control they feel they have in their lives.

    i watch a lot of intervention:rolleyes:

    I think it wouldn't hurt you to research the disease. It IS actually a disease TCF, and not just something people do for fun. ;)

    You can actually have a subscription for marijuana here for it.

    eating disorders are VERY complicated... i speak from personal experience.. i was a resident in a treatment program for two months and knew about a dozen females in that program. we all have different stories and i encourage you all to release your judgments towards people who are suffering from it.

    did you see the intervention where the two twins were both anorexic and they would follow each other around to make sure they would burn the exact same amount of calories and they would eat the same amount of crumbs to make sure no one lost more weight

    I don't think any anorexic does it for vanity. It's hard to comprehend body dysphoria and not seeing yourself as you really are but really, you could be bone thin, looking in the mirror and thinking "fat"

    Anorexia is a mental illness combined with a physical disorder. Eating disorders are never just about physical appearance (weight/fat/etc.). They are a method of controlling your life when you feel like you have no control over other aspects of living. For many people with eating disorders, food is the only thing that they think they can regulate, and they will often feel negatively or angry about how they believe their body is not under their control anymore.
    Outside situations can trigger a bad episode of fasting/purging/over-exercising/over-eating because the person feels like things are spiraling out of control and the amount of food they put into (or don't put in) their body is the only means of gaining power and control.

    No one is asking anyone to feel sorry, but to say that is what they are asking for...

    Most people who have an eating disorder hide it very well... it's a mental illnese, not just a beauty complex.... not all people who are anerexic are girls who are already on the thinner side, they usually got there because they were big and they had to deal with mental abuse from people, along with other things spiraling downward in their lives...

    holy shit dude yeah.


    i gues why this kinda pisses me off, is like i knew someone that was really when they chilled cool as hell like this and they were so fuckin depressed all the time, its like yo your hot as hell and you just mope around all day and fuckin shit. i view mental disorders or whatever like that as a fog on your mind, distorting your personal potential, its saddening. just gotta try to see your potential and rewire your hardwear up in that head you got up therre? you know? thats how i see it.

    im just posting my personal views. you don't have to agree. sorry if I offend you.


    sorry but not eating because you think you look fat? that's ridiculous!!! who cares what people think of you and is it doing anything to you? no!!!! if someone calls you fat big deal it can only piss you off if you choose to let it. it's all in your head. now not eating that's not in your had that's truly physically painful. who cares about other people's judgement ya know? really what are those people to you? if they are calling you fat they aint your friend so why do you care about them and what they say or think about you? the only eating disorder I could understand is someone with ocd or something scared about germs in their food or something but still that's something that person would need to work on cus humans were born with immune systems for a reason and most germs don't do crap to you. i'v dropped food on a dirty floor plenty of times and still picked it up and ate it and nothing happened to me. you just gotta learn to master your mind. anorexics to me sound like weak minded people and if they starve themselves for such a stupid reason as to not be fat then they deserve all the pain that happens to them.

    and yes I know some of you say take away your judgement but HECK NO!!!!! I will call every anorexic person I see fat. sorry someone being a wimp like that deserves no respect from anyone. and anyone that treats a anorexic with care shouldn't cus your teaching them that their ridiculous habits are ok.

    Some of the comments on here blow my mind...it's a disease and it effects more people than you'd imagine. People with ED's are not vain, they're not looking for attention. For the vast majority it's the exact opposite. They want to HIDE themselves. While it's easy for someone who hasn't experienced to say "stop it, you're not fat" it's the same as telling someone who is depressed "just get over it" doesn't really work that way, sorry.

    The sad thing is, that need to read and understand this, as well as the other posts trying to explain it will disregard these.

    Two of the closest people to me in my life suffered from both annorexia and bulima. It's terribly tragic and there is nothing you can do or say to reach them when they are that far gone.

    And of course there are the dumb bitches who do it so they can get a shit ton of attention and play the damaged victum. This is an entirly different sort of sickness that I have no empathy for.

    sorry if I offend anyone I am just posting my own opinion. you don't have to agree with me.


    i can actually be a very nice caring person and I actually would treat a anorexic person nicely. I just exaggerated a bit in my previous reply. I am actually a very kind an accepting person. I can listen very well and talk things out.

    BUT

    Im not talking all anorexics

    But. if your a anorexic who does not eat because you think you'll get fat and the only reason for not eating is a fear of being fat. Really? I mean come on. I assure you more guys will like a fat chick than some ugly skeleton women. Why don't you go out side and exercise you lazy bum? You decide to not eat instead? like really? I am just telling you guys my thoughts from my mind. In my mind i am thinking what the heck.

    I used to be FAT! big freaking deal. I eventually exercised and lost a ton of weight.

    is it because you want attention for not eating? that's a real dumb way to get attention.

    meh whatever. do as you wish. I'll enjoy the fact that I can eat 3 breakfast burritos for breakfast. Have a sandwich and some cookies for lunch. and 20 hot wings 2 bread sticks and a bowl of ice cream for dinner. and not gain a pound :D. i can run 10 miles :D I can bike 60 miles :D . I feel great.


    sorry if I offend anyone I am just posting my own opinion. you don't have to agree with me.

    I just think anorexics are selfish people. I think they just seek that attention/people wanting to care for them as they suffer or something.

    Mentally Ill? I accept other mental illness and feel very bad for anyone who suffers from mental illness. but I do not view anorexic as a real mental illness. I just view it as a person being a FOOL!

    I have an intolerance for emo people too. I have these views why? because in this world my view is you can't be a pussy. you gotta learn to be tuff or else your gonna get jacked up.

    You know some people have gone through some crazy stuff. Not everyone speaks or tell people about the bad experiences in their life. You can either let it break you you down. Or you say screw it and move on. and remember there is always someone that has it worse than you. I don't care what happened to you. There is someone that has always suffered more than you. Stop complaining and be thankful for what you have.

    people are just sooooo selfish.


    sorry if I offend anyone I am just posting my own opinion. you don't have to agree with me. feel free to debate with me though?
