-- Posted by Anonymous at 4:48 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 In my opinion eating disorders are for the weak minded ( i.e. vomiting after you eat, to loose weight) seriously if you feel you need to loose weight go on a healthy diet and get some fucking exercise. I mean I understand bad self imagery can be harmful, but grow the fuck up everyone isn't judging you where ever you go and when you look in the mirror and see a fat whore maybe you should turn around and pay attention to the doctors, parents, teachers and friends who all tell you you have a good body. Does it feel good to loose weight like that, can you look back on that in a few years and feel proud of yourself? proud of vomiting up meal after meal because you wanted to weigh 99 pounds. If you are fat exercise compile some self discipline, if you are skinny and want to see your disgusting pelvis then DONT, think of everyone who is 300 pounds heavier than  your skinny ass and feel proud to live in the fucking USA home of lard asses. ugh. there are just so many better choices in life don't waste your health away in the toilet.   If you have a disorder already... get some help please. I'm no expert on eating disorders in fact I don't even know what the one where you throw up after you eat is called. But you all know what I'm talking about and it is that disorder that this post focuses on. I know I'll be attacked for this.. but its just my current thoughts on it. People doing things like this just make me so mad, they are hurting them self's and people around them when they DONT NEED TO. Fuck, I can take a lesson from this. I'm 6' 230lbs. I'm NOT SKINNY, but I'm eating better and exercising. I'll get to a good weight.. but I don't need to see my bones to feel better. Peer pressure and the need to feel like you have a good body is a lot, lets all remember that.. however there are good and bad approaches to getting the body you want. Please guys, take the good ones. -- Posted by ranman at 4:49 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Eating disorders are for pretentious bitches who think peolpe actually care what they look like. however celebrities can have eating disorders all they want, as people do actually care what they look like. -- Posted by Discordany at 4:52 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Dude, its a fucking mental illness. Its not so easy as "growing the fuck up because everyone isnt judging you", etc. what you seem to fail to realize is that many people with eating disorders ARE getting help, but, as with depression/addictions/etc, it takes a lot more than a quick visit to the doctor and telling yourself that you'll get better. It takes far more work and time than that. Also, good for you for taking the healthy path. But if you have low self esteem and are trying to fix it by getting better; thats all it is. Whereas they have something completely different going on in their head. -- Posted by Anonymous at 5:34 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 people are judging you every day.....come to my school and look at the popular people......they wear cool clothes, are pretty and have beautiful bodies.....i want to be like that.....i have struggled with depression, suicidal thoughts, and an eating disorder since 6th grade but yet i'm in all honors and get all A's and live a very good life and face the facts people.....boys, girls, everyone is always judging you......stop lying to yourself to make yourself feel better..... -- Posted by dramaqueenxoxo at 5:54 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 People develop eating disorders because of some kind of mental illness/ predisposition. (For me, it was BPD). What people don't understand is that alot of us get so addicted to losing weight, it gives an amazing high and you just can't stop. For me, it's about being the thinnest. I want to be the thinnest, the smartest, the blondest, the most pretty... There is no peer pressure involved. I've put this on myself and I will live like this untill I waste away. I don't want sympathy, I just want people to look at me and think "she's the thinnest girl I've ever seen"... I want to look at myself and be happy with what I see. -- Posted by ray503458 at 6:51 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Oddly enough, eating disorders do not have anything to do with being skinny. Sure it's the end result, but it's not the reason. People develop eating disorders because it is something they can control. A person with an eating disorder usually feel like they're shoved to the corner, ignored, they feel like no can hear them or like no one knows they exist. As far as weak minded goes, starving yourself is no easy task. Unfortunately eating is part of living, you take that away and your body freaks out and forces you to eat. If a person can force their cognitive thought process and turn off their Feed/Breath reflex, I'd say thats pretty strong minded. plus eating disorders stem from another mental illness like schizophrenia (high level of anxiety, not hearing voices) which affects 6% of the worlds population -- Posted by Catacomb at 1:50 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 here we go with opinion again
