After the Mary-Kate Olsen scandal about Anerexia, it really opened my eyes how horrible it is. I was thinking to do it myself, but I have a great body and I don't want to mess it up. If anyone has that disorder and needs to talk about it, reply to this post.

Well, I've came pretty damn close to being at that point. I was never diagnosised with Anorexia Nervosa, but I was told if I hadn't gotten help when I did, a few months from now i would have full blown Anorexia.

I can't even remember almost a month of my life because of it. And there are people who can't remember even longer than that. I can tell people what it was like, but I can't vividly remember most of it. It's just writing down what I wrote in my journal.

Wow bunni. That was very well explained.

You don't choose to be Anorexic. You choose to starve yourself. People seem to think that anorexics see rolls and rolls in the mirror when they're emanicpated, and they just don't eat.

The fact is, Anorexia is a hard as hell struggle. It's not something anyone should have to go through. You get dizzy, you see spots, you see your bones protruding, and a part of your mind says, "Okay. Stop. You're too thin." but another says, "Keep starving. You're still too fat. You don't deserve food. Food is for the weak, etc. etc." You choose to listen to the one that tells you to starve.

You don't "go" Anorexic. You become it. Food, or lack there of, becomes your life. You breathe, sleep, and live starvation. You weigh yourself five times a day, you grab every miniscule amount of fat, and scold yourself.

You don't make a concious decision to become Anorexic. You make a concious descision to starve. It's not the same thing.

Ah ****. Being anorexic was a real pain in the ***. Go with your first decision. Don't starve yourself. Because then...You might end up like me. And one of me is enough. Ask anyone.

Sweetie, its anorexia. You are so cute!

The Mary-Kate Olsen thing is really sad! But it seems that if you had someone who looked exactly like you and she was happy in her body you would be happy in yours too but i know thats not how anorexia really works.

But i know someone who was anorexic when she was like 16 and now she's 21, i think, and she still battles with it even though she's not 'officially' anorexic. If she gets depressed she stops eating. Actually, she was in the hospital because of it just a few weeks ago!

I posted a reply about this mary kate olsen thing but i forgot what topic i posted it to.
What happened to her is really bad because it made me think that celebrities are just insecure of their bodies...
She is too young to have that kind of problem and frankly, it makes me sad to know that she has that kind of problem to deal with when a person should love her body, not ruin it by insecurities because she or he is on tv or something. I would rather be healthy than be all bones and not eating. I think that she has a major problem and teens should not feel insecure about their bodies.
No one is ugly here in this world... One flaw in a person may be the beauty in some one else.

I started laughing so hard when I read that.
Hmm...I'm sitting here eating a bag of Goldfish. They're almost gone now. Great, now everyone's going to be mad at me cause I ate all the Goldfish. *sigh*

one time my mom bought these kind of small english toffee cookies. like they were maybe like 4and a half inches wide, and i was addicted to them and so one day i ate 9 and on my tenth cookie i was reading the box and it said "100 calories per serving, one serving is one cookie". i was like, "wow...i just ate...a thousand calories...in...cookies..." that's terrible lol i was still hungry.

I'm not that much of a picky eater...I'll eat a lot of stuff even if I don't like it. I used to be more picky, though. I guess that explains why I've gained a little weight. Oh well.

i am a picky eater so i feel even worse when i go out to lunch and there isnt anything i like so i barely eat. then people are like, "oh yeah, she must eat like that all the time." i suppose if i was overweight i would feel even worse when i find food i do like and....eat a lot of it lol

Ugh, yeah, calcoast. I used to be the same way, not that much underweight, but people would tell me I was "too skinny". This one girl told me that she "used to be that way too". I am most definitely not anorexic. I eat SO MUCH!
^That was pretty pointless, huh?

"After the Mary-Kate Olsen scandal about Anerexia"

um its not a scandal? anorexia isnt some crime. im clinically anorexic which means im 15% or more underweight but i have a hiiiigh metabolism. Last night I had 5 slices of pizza for dinner-a typical amount for me to eat. And I'm still under 100 lbs, 5'4 so its sort of offensive to be called anorexic when I eat FINE.

I've though about it since I was in 7th grade...I don't think I would ever actually go annorexic but I hate the fact that it's constantly on my mind.

my aunt got anorexic once. it was so bad. you can die from that. you can loose your abilty to have kids. i was thinking about it myself when i was 13, but then i saw my aunt and knew her story.
