Yeah, we sure are crazy.
Just like people get drunk and drive.
Just like people have sex with 49856137501 people.
Just like people gossip and backstab.
Just like people who cut themselves and attempt suicide.
Just like people who are ignorant and "think" they understand whent hey really don't.

When it all comes down to it, we all do something that is crazy. People with eating disorders have both a mental and physcial illness, and it is a very difficult thing to get over. Rather than screaming at us "WHY DON'T YOU EAT?!"
Please support us, to improve..or go away. Alright hun? :]

It was hard at first.  But when you want/need something bad enough, you'll do anything....plus you get addicted to the feeling (both the physical feeling of being hungry and the mental feeling of control).  Idk, now I don't understand how people can eat as much as they do (2+ meals a day is DISGUSTING to me, I freak out eating one if I have to eat one alone).

Clearly, you don't.


exactly my thought. It is a disease, you can't control it, body image, stress, life, food, it all makes everything worse. you aren't necessarily saying no to food, you can be controlling the situation, you can be controlling your body weight, reacting to stress, your body image, it is so complex there are so many reasons for it. when you look in the mirror you can never really see what is looking back at you, yeah, some of us know the image we see in the mirror is not the image everyone else sees but that doesn't change the fact we are disgusted with our bodies, or what ever is going on in our lives at that time.  you clearly don't understand any of it, just like so many other people in this world... all you see is crazy

It's something wrong in our brains...we can't control it.

Actually with bulimia you can eat anything you want, without the weight gain.

Completely untrue. Many bulimics are normal weight to overweight.


True
But you still don't gain much weight
Trust me I know

i rember thinking how fatt i was and i would eat so much i threw up for like a week and i was like hey this kinda makes me feel better and i kept doing it

MissKK Posted at 8:32 pm on July 2, 2008
i often wonder that, like howcould someone just not eat...but i guess they just like totally have this determination to get their body the way they want it, n then when they go overboard on not eating they get the disease?...i could neeeever do that, give up food...
porcelain cinderella Posted at 8:32 pm on July 2, 2008
It's pretty easy, you just say "no" or tell yourself you don't want something.
FuckUnikka Posted at 8:31 pm on July 2, 2008
because food is fucking disgusting.

No, unhealthy food causes fat. You need food to live... remember?

Nope, alcohol keeps me going like a forever lasting battery.

Until your liver fails and your malnutritioned body collapses. Have fun.  

HuffleHaire Posted at 8:29 pm on July 2, 2008
Bulimia isn't really denying yourself food.

And it's not that hard to say no to food.

boothy Posted at 8:29 pm on July 2, 2008
Really, you contradicted yourself. You blatantly don't understand, or more to the point empathise, and therefore you are ignorant. Never mind, I'm sure you're good at maths.
