Eating Disorders, How... Options

[smile4me]

^^ Terri Schiavo died because of what? I thought it was because they took out her feeding tube and she starved. And I thought eating disorders were like, anorexia. hmm..I'm confused.

she had bulimia which resulted in a potassium imbalance. then she got a heart attack... and because of that, blood couldn't get to her brain. mm..then a coma...got back from a coma...and she was pretty much braindead.

wow...you WANT bulimia. this is what you should do:
go to a psychiatrist.

Eating disorders are extreamly dangerous.
Two years ago, I stopped eating.
I went 2 weeks straight, and ended up hospitalized.
I was 5ft tall at age 13 barley weighing 70 pounds.


Now I am 5ft tall at age 14, weighing a mere 87 pounds.
I also, have the wonderful honor, of taking 8 pills everyday..
According to my doctor, my stomach lining has thined due to my 'non-eating habits' and without medication to strengthin it, I could get stomach cancer.

And all I did was not eat for 2 weeks...

It's not worth it TRUST ME.
You'll regret it, there are better ways to lose weight!
I know that dieting and exercise doesn't work for some people but here is a site that may help you.

That's why I don't want anyone to find out..because it's not attractive. But neither is being fat.

trust me, being extremely skinny is as equally unattractive as being fat. please do not ever say that you want an eating disorder. there are other HEALTHIER ways of losing weight, that have already been mentioned before me.

[xMayleex]

My dad used to think i had a eating disorder which was quite sad Everyone is beautiful big or small, its what is inside that counts.

[y0urelectrikk]

I am fat. I want an eating disorder
& Fukc you guys who say its stupid.. I know what she means.. I would do a lot to be skinny. But the working out isnt working out...It doesnt even do anything for me..I work out so effing much too. & I'm a vegetarian. I hate me.

I tried to not eat for a few days. But then I was hungry

[x0 sweetsorrow]

um. eating disorders arent the way to go.....


trust me on that one...... AHEM!!!


besides;; if you were seriously like.. anorexic or something.. you wouldnt know when you were "skinny" or when you were "boney".. you'd always think you were to fat or something. hmmm..

and if your exersising so much.. and your a vegiaterian.. maybe.. your just.. built the way you are.. not everyone has perfect skinny bodys. you just gotta except who you are and deal with it.

[SMUSHiENESS]

why would you want a eating disorder? you`ll regret the desision you make in the long run. not eating will slow down your metablism, and when you DO want to get back on track your body will just digest the food even slower. just exercise and eat right.

[TragedyAtMidnigh...]

i sort of have an eating disorder. i'm anorexic and bulimic. i do eat, but it's not that much at all. i've never gotten help for it but i think i might sometime soon.

[l_baybeexgrl_l]

just exercise.. doesnt hurt you

u're just taking risks to kill urself if ure going to become anerexic or bullemic.. people will find out.. and WILL send u to get help. then u'll be back to where you started.

but then again, its ur life... we can't stop you.

[sammy6440]

ok DO NOT resort to an eating disorder
not smart
eat healthier
excercise...if your parents get "all weird" on you just tell them you wanna shed some pounds
and if youre thinking youre fat because of numbers on a scale...those are just numbers....its not like a scale weighs the fat on your body it weighs your bodies mass...the scale isnt important

[twelveislands]

Geez, Are you seriously that ignorant that you want an eating disorder. You can't get one just like that. It's all in your mind.

Exercise (Jogging, Sit-ups, Running up and down stairs?)
Cut down on junk food
Eat more healthy food

It's stupid and can harm you for life and you'll regret it later.

Eating disorders can grip people for years, making them so ill they end up in hospital. Some people even die.

[HoodieObsessed]

This just proves that everyone born in 1990 and after are complete idiots.
Well in exception of a few but that does not include you.

If you want to get skinny, this is surely not the way to go about it.

UMMMM, EXCUSE ME! I was born in 1990 thank you very much! (I must be the exception )

And getting an eating disorder will not help at all, you sound like you're excercising alot and you're eating alot of vegitables because you are a vegetarian *thumbs up* so that means you are very healthy. IT's been proven that chubby or "fat" people that are born that way can be much healthier than ppl who apear to be thin. I know it must be tough living with the fact that you were born a little chubby, but no one will judge that on you. think aoubt the freinds you have, your parents, you cousins, do they judge you on your weight? do they care if you're a model or not? you don't have to look like girls in a magazine to find happiness, being thin is often healthy but going balemic is certainly not.

My only other advice on how to make your self look better would be to jstu eat less, dont' make it an eating disorder but jsut ration yourself a resnoble amount of food to eaet each day. IT proven that eating less effects your weight far more than eating healthly does, although both are very, very important. I'm NOT saying starve yourself, buy a health food book and they'll probably tell you what's a healthy amount of food to eat in a day.

But I'll say it again, your weight doesn't matter nearly as much as being healthy, infact it doesn't matter at all, I have...about three freinds who are chubby, two of which are actually fairly "fat", but I dont' care, Iv'e never judged them on their looks, if I did I'd be shallow and stupid.

Good luck girly, and I sincerely hope you dont' get an eating disorder, just use your head and think of the consequences.

Listen to her, she knows what she's talking about

[iheartsimba]

you need motivation. you need to force yourself.

but may I add:
I think that's just the easy way out. You think you'll just lose weight just like that from starving yourself. It doesn't work like that. It slows down your matabolism like CRAZY.

Effects of Eating Disorders
Whatever the cause of an eating disorder, the effects can be damaging - if not downright devastating and life threatening. People who weigh at least 15% less than the normal weight for their height may not have enough body fat to keep their organs and other body parts healthy.

A person with anorexia can do damage to the heart, liver, and kidneys by not eating enough. The body slows everything down as if it were starving, causing a drop in blood pressure, pulse, and breathing rate. (For girls, this starvation mode may mean they stop getting their periods.) Lack of energy can lead people with anorexia to feel light-headed and unable to concentrate. Anemia (lack of red blood cells) and swollen joints are common in people with anorexia, as are brittle bones. Anorexia can cause a person's hair to fall out, fingernails to break off, and a soft hair called lanugo to grow all over the skin. In severe cases, eating disorders can lead to severe malnutrition and even death.

People with bulimia often have constant stomach pain. In fact, bulimia can actually damage a person's stomach and kidneys as a result of constant vomiting. Bulimia can also cause a person's teeth to decay because of the acids that come up into the mouth while vomiting. The person may also develop "chipmunk cheeks," which occur when the salivary glands permanently expand from throwing up so often. Like girls with anorexia, girls with bulimia may stop getting their periods. And, most dangerous of all, the constant purging can lead to a loss of the mineral potassium, which can contribute to heart problems and even death.

The emotional pain of an eating disorder can take its toll, too. When a person becomes obsessed with weight, it's hard to concentrate on much else. Many times people with eating disorders become withdrawn and less social. Teens with anorexia can't join in on snacks and meals with their friends or families, and they often don't want to break from their intense exercise routine to have fun. Individuals with bulimia often spend a lot of mental energy on planning their next binge, spend a lot of their money on food, and hide in the bathroom for a long time after meals.

Eating disorders are not fun. Both anorexia and bulimia can lead to feelings of guilt and depression. Some individuals with eating disorders begin using drugs or other substances to help mask their feelings, which only makes the situation worse.

Read that.

[inthemudhole]

People like you give a bad name to people that actually have an eating disorder or any other kind of mental disorder.
That's right. I said mental disorder, because that is what an eating disorder truly is.

You can't GET one.
You can pretend you have one all you want and not eat and throw up your food, but that is so incredibly stupid.
People with eating disorders don't even want one most of the time.

It's a MENTAL disorder as well. You can't GET one. You have to develop it mentally, and there isn't a way to do that purposely. It just comes. If it runs in the family, then you could develop one. It's hard to explain, but you can't get one.

You can purposely possess the traits of someone with an eating disorder, but that doesn't mean you have one.

This thread just sounds like a pity thread. I'm not giving in. I'm sorry, but really. This thread makes people with real disorders look bad.

This just proves that everyone born in 1990 and after are complete idiots.

<--Born in 1991.

...You want to start?! Okay, you know what? I hope you do. I have a friend who has that, and she weighs 75 pounds. She goes to the hospital every month, and she, surely, is going to die way before she would have had she not had the disease. She doesn't deserve belemia. However, you do. Because you are a f**king idiot. Why don't you just kill yourself now and get it over with?

You are just a lazy a-hole. Instead of excercising, you jump to getting a disease. Not to mention that once you stop, you would just get twice as fat as you are now. And what in fucks sake? Your parents get creepy on you? You have f**king problems. I wonder what your parents would do if they found out that their daughter gave herself a deadly disease. And there's no way of doing it right. Everyone will notice. Your skin will become pale, you'll get illnesses all the time, your hair will start falling out, and eventually, your teeth will rot. f**king lunatic.
You are a disgrace to humanity.

edit.

Holy shit, you're f**king with me aren't you? I just saw your picture, and you look perfectly normal. You are a f**king psycho, do you know that?

I totally agree with you.

To the dumb ass who posted this, you go get that eating disorder, go sit in a hospital for two weeks, have therapy for 2 years. iTS NOT FUN, AND YOU DESERVE iT!

[XoJennaoX]

okay first off.....*takes breath* telling someone that getting an eating disorder is a stupid idea or that they are retarded for thinking so, is really not helping anyone!!

It is more serious than some of you are making it out be. Hoping someone goes into the hospital for of an eating disorder just because you think they are a complete idiot is really immature! I'm sure you are just making the situation worse. If you really want to help keep ur mouth shut.

Yes eating disorders are unheathly, have many negative affects on your body and never work in the long run. I am against them all as well BUT

I DO understand why girls are attracted to them, especially in our society today. Why not? It is the quickest way to loose a lot of weight AND it actually is easier than dieting healthy, because once you go for a long time without food your appetite suppresses greatly.

Honestly I use to kinda want to have one too, because i'm a dancer and there is a certain pressure to be stick skinny. But I really feel they are a sign of weakness, and i wanted to be heathy and be able to actually dance and not lose any muscle...lol....so now i'm glad I can say i am very happy with myself and proud I didn't take the easy way out. So all i can say is give the subject a lot of research and you may see it is not exactly the best way to go. good luck.

okay..im a dancer too. and i dont need to be anorexic to dance well!!

but keeping our mouths shut isnt going to help her. we're trying to steer her away from a disease. it's not a good idea and we're trying to help her get better before she does something she'll regret.

okay you missed what i was saying completely! because to be a PROFESSIONAL ballet dancer you MUST be skinny aside from being good....it is required and thats just how it is...i didn't say it makes you dance better! ...cuz that would be just stupid of me to say.

and also steering a person away from a disease by saying they are stupid and retarded and deserve to be in a hospital is NOT the way to say it, correct? Doesn't anybody remember Bambi? - if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all! I am also trying to steer her away from this, but obviously you just don't get it.

So like in that last post, go ahead and call her a fat whore or an anorexic bitch because your words of wisdom will obviously make her change her mind.

[love vs absence]

im sorry. but i think you are really stupid.
you cant just decide to have an eating disorder.

SHUT UP! OMiGOD!

[Ninja X]

Vat in de hell dis is! Hmm..we have a girl who requests to become bulemic and a bunch of immature people who decide to call each other names because someone decided to point out what's not being helped. That was a mouth full. In any case, I'm liking the allusion to Bambi.....
Because right now there's nothing but arguing going on - Which is completely Off Topic. Telling people to shut up .....did you mean stop typing? Heh i am fond of these people. Enough what I like. Well...

I'd like to order a large psychopath, a medium schizo with a side of Narcolepsy (sp?). If it was as easy as saying Time to stop eating, hell, our population would be soo small right now.

Another fact : You need food for energy. No food - No energy. No energy - no Life. Get that? You will be fat as long as you think that. I know there will be people to say "What if" but guess what, What if i disagree with you? I'd rather say that ahead of time then people telling me to shut up online....err i mean stop typing.

[XoJennaoX]

SHUT UP!  OMiGOD!

nice comback..are we like 3?

Ninja x i couldn't agree with you more.... at least there is someone on here that realizes what it going on!

p.s - nice Colin icon!
