I can understand wanting to be nicely thin, like this


but i dont understand this

for those of you with an ED, is there a point where you will want to stop, or is it just an ongoing thing, no matter how thin you get?

Dont take my questions the wrong way.  I'm just curious an am no judging or anything like that.

BTW, I know it's psychological  
and I also know that is why I'll never fully understand it, but the only way to gain any type of insight is to actually ask these questions.

Do you know what fat means? :/
Yes. Me.

 

 I think what she needs everyone to do is go to her ib and then leave comments like "OMG you're sooo not fat!"


Ha. You're stupid.

Wow. Intelligent. I'm hurt.

ever heard of BDD?


...no?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_dysmorphic_disorder


 
that seems to be a separate disorder. It says that people with BDD can sometimes have anorexia nervosa or bulimia, but they also may not.

edit- that also means that not every one with an eating disorder suffers from bdd


but most do. i did.

it means Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Sufferes are excessively concerned about appearance, body shape, body size, weight, perceived lack of muscles, facial blemishes, and/or other perceived body inadequacies and flaws


I've heard of that.
Good old magazines.

Jessica Alba is fat. I would rather be anorexic any day.    
  At the moment, I'm sadly the opposite. Obese.

 

 Jessica Alba isn't fat.

I don't think any of them actually want to be super skinny, its more that they don't want to be fat. And they always see themselves as fat, wether they look like the first or the second pictures.
