I'm so sick and tired of people who just wanna lose a few pounds so they pretend to have an ed. It drives me freaking insane! What part of having an ed do people think would be fun? Is trying to ignore that you're hungry because you're scared that by eating anything at all, you'll balloon up fun? Is crying all alone after you just threw up everything that you ate fun? Is working out 4 hours a day, and still feeling like you didn't burn enough calories fun? Is changing your clothes 20 times before you leave in the morning, because everything you put on makes you feel fat fun? Is feeling increasingly uncomfortable in your skin 24/7 fun?
No. Nothing about this is fun. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. I'm miserable and I feel disgusting. Just because you wanna lose 5 pounds, it doesn't mean that you're anorexic, or whatever the fuck you wanna say you are. You're a stupid poser and it's really sad.
For the first couple years of my eating disorder, I didn't even admit to myself that I had a problem. I didn't think I was thin enough or that I worked out enough or that I ate as little as people with ed's do. Somebody who wants to be this sick, is really pathetic. Having an eating disorder is risking your life and a ridiculous thing to want. (yes, I know...practice what you preach). And plus, the way I see it, you can't choose to have an eating disorder...it chooses you.
