(You might prefer a different word over the ones above, but choose the one that closest matches your feelings.  If you'd like to post your own feel free). -- Posted by MusicX at 10:05 pm on June 19, 2008 i chose pathetic for the people who chose to have them in some cases they can't help it and i feel bad for those people -- Posted by AmazingRed at 10:05 pm on June 19, 2008 Difficult. >.< -- Posted by XxAnNeXx237 at 10:05 pm on June 19, 2008 Sad and difficult. -- Posted by xsnortingxashesx at 10:05 pm on June 19, 2008 Tragic, devastating, scary, and difficult. -- Posted by anonymous2 at 10:06 pm on June 19, 2008 Quote: from musicxmaniac at 10:05 pm on June 19, 2008 i chose pathetic for the people who chose to have them in some cases they can't help it and i feel bad for those people I think anyone who "chooses" to have an eating disorder does not really have one.  Maybe they starve themselves/bing & purge, but they probably don't have the mental component... -- Posted by reev at 10:07 pm on June 19, 2008 anyone that says an eating disorder is pathetic is really not a nice person at all. with the overwhelming importance we put on appearance these days some people just want to live up to those celebrity appearances and have the fear of being made fun of if they look any different. -- Posted by MusicX at 10:08 pm on June 19, 2008 Quote: from anonymous2 at 10:06 pm on June 19, 2008 Quote: from musicxmaniac at 10:05 pm on June 19, 2008 i chose pathetic for the people who chose to have them    in some cases they can't help it and i feel bad for those people I think anyone who "chooses" to have an eating disorder does not really have one. Maybe they starve themselves/bing & purge, but they probably don't have the mental component... actually if they force it upon themselves at first, it becomes natural to their body and then they can't help it those people i think are pathetic for subjecting to peer pressure and stereotypes so bad that they hurt themselves for it -- Posted by kiralynn2007 at 10:09 pm on June 19, 2008 tragic, scary -- Posted by BREAKBOY at 10:09 pm on June 19, 2008 Pathetic.  I know that they're a serious thing, but pathetic is always my first impression. -- Posted by ello paulie xx at 10:10 pm on June 19, 2008 I think it depends on the situation the person is in. If they do it and they're skinny, that is just pathetic. But if it is serious like a disease and stuff, that's devastating -- Posted by smarty at 10:21 pm on June 19, 2008 the last one -- Posted by Lizzie2007 at 10:40 pm on June 19, 2008 i said sad -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 5:11 am on June 20, 2008 Scary and difficult Horrible Confusing Heart breaking Tourture -- Posted by LostInTheClouds at 9:51 pm on June 20, 2008 I think that they are difficult things to deal with and experience first hand.

EDs are not all about appearence. Some people have them and they dont look in the mirror or think 'fat' or count calories... they just have so much shit in their lives that they can only control their emotions through food. same as binge eaters. -- Posted by jessica20110 at 10:13 pm on June 21, 2008 Hell.......
