Did I ever say it was funny? Ill, is when you're dying from pneumonia or you're having a REALLY bad flu, or you have broken a limb.  
Thinking you are fat, is not ill.

---

Yes it is. If it's an eating disorder then you ARE ill.

---

of unsound physical or mental health; unwell; sick

You realise people die from eating disorders all the time?

MORTALITY RATES

   * Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness
   * A study by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders reported that 5 - 10% of anorexics die within 10 years after contracting the disease; 18-20% of anorexics will be dead after 20 years and only 30 - 40% ever fully recover
   * The mortality rate associated with anorexia nervosa is 12 times higher than the death rate of ALL causes of death for females 15 - 24 years old.
   * 20% of people suffering from anorexia will prematurely die from complications related to their eating disorder, including suicide and heart problems

Take bulimia for example: People just throw up after eating because they feel fat, when they are no where near fat, and then claim that they keep seeing themselves as fat, which they hardly do. They're attention-seeking, most of them people.
Same with anorexia.

You, quite obviously, don't know anything about eating disorders. Just because you and I can see that they're not fat doesn't mean to say that they see the same thing. That's why it's a disorder. They physically see themselves different (in some cases, quite a lot). How can it be attention seeking if they don't even realise they're ill? If they do everything they can to hide it?

---

If you want to sleep properly or eat properly or whatever shit, then just do it. No need to throw up or pretend and then later call it a disorder.

---

You're kinda dumb. If people could just do it then they would. You think people intentionally kill themselves (through eating disorders or suicide, whatever) just for attention? You honestly think someone would just not bother sleeping and suffer the consequences of bad sleeping so they can call it a disorder? Your logic makes no sense!

---

Now, for those people who actually are really kuku in the head, well yeah, there's something wrong with them, but almost 30% of you all are claiming to have a disorder, as I see on Youtube, Golivewire and other sites.

---

Sure, people shouldn't self-diagnose. It can lead to shitty things. But don't generalise so much!

---

Everyone has control over themselves you know. You can make yourself fat thin whatever, but it's not going to help by calling it a freaking disorder.  

---

wtf?! If you have an eating disorder then you have lost control. It's NOT as easy as saying "fuck, i really am too skiny now i need to eat something." When it becomes a disorder then you have no idea how much emotional turmoil is behind every bite you take. Same with bulimia... to eat something and keep it in. It shows you've lost control when you physically can't eat without throwing up. Do you understand at all how fucked up you can get emotionally through all of that? Go do some research before making such absurd claims, yeah?
