I'd LOVE to know the actual psychology behind this.

I was just thinking of how distorted healthy people's views of the eating disordered and vise versa are. It's pathetic. The healthy people imagine the eating disordered as either very obese or deathly thin. They don't generally realize that we can look just like them. And the eating disordered. Sometimes we can distinguish ourselves from them and their fat doesn't bug us. But more often then not, I find myself watching an overweight person eating McD's, and thinking 'That's right, bitch. Stuff your face. It makes me look that much better.' Healthy or even overweight people are NOT dirty or gross or wrong just because they eat like a human being, and I know this. And I think most of us do. We just don't want to admit it because that makes US the ones with the problem. If anything, they're happier than we are. They can enjoy life without having to obsess over food and calories and numbers. Most of them can address their problems. Properly.

Anyhow. End of rant. For now.

Edit: What's even more pathetic is that I just stereotyped the eating disordered as female. ('bitch') Will the irony never end?
