Bulimic? Options

[angel-roh]

i have fast-metabolism too... im glad that i have it...whew


anyways i always think that they are scared to be fat and will regret for eating too much. and looking at the famous celebrities with a nice body... they'll get very upset if they see that? heh i dont know... but i think that way.

[*Weird addiction*]

i am naturally thin and illd like to remain the same!

[Comptine]

Anorexia nervosa is basically when someone wants to be as thin as possible. They do not want to maintain a normal weight or gain any. There isn't a sure cause but usually it's either the person wants to satisfy some sort of 'image' or they want control (e.g. their diet and weight)

Yeah, most people can't control it. It's almost an obsessive compulsive disorder. They must lose 10, 20, 30 pounds. They must fit into this. However, it's never good enough for them.

But... some of those girls aren't really anorexic. They chose to not eat. They go on crash diets and fast. They think, oh... not eating will help me lose X amount of pounds. They in the beginning chose to starve themselves.

Etymology

that is the official definition. i've been borderline anorexic on and off for like...2 years. i'll skip breakfast and lunch and not eat anything until dinner. most of the time that's because i'm really not hungry though.

[tears_of_blood]

i eat loads and loads but im borderline underweight all the time =S i herad that if ur anorexic enough they cart you off to hospital and force-feed you somehow...

[pink_skittle_101]

i agree lol. but ne ways, many people do it because they arent happy with themselves, and after a while, it becomes an obsession.

yeah, you can see that her face is normal...it would be gross too....yeah, i agree with u, but it is a disease, they see themselves as fat...

[pink_skittle_101]

yea i agree, im just like you with the fast metabolism thing. but yea i dont get why some gurls think its cool to be all skin and bones. i think its jus freaky

it's a mental disorder! how many times do we have to tell you! they don't want to be skin and bones! They see themselves as fat and ugly, even when they are skin and bones!

[LiLaZnGirL122]

[ilauqh]

[br0ken smile]

no. never

[StrwberriQT]

uh no ..

[senoritacheese]

uh, comman sense? look at the neck and face.
tell me when people WANT to have anerexic becuase they don't, it's not a choice.
and please, getting a date is the LAST thing on their minds with their organs are failing.

if you think people do it to to "look nice and attractive" well you're f**king wrong. full-blown cases are not for that. they have mental problems they unable them for dealing with things in an "average" way. it's based on feelings and emotions, to make peoplr happy, to be the best, to excel, to be in control.

and i really don't think posting pictures here are going to STOP people from doing this. shock tactics are much more different than INFORMING people. kaythanks.

you are all are SO ignorant.

look on xanga. girls make the choice to be anorexic. seriously. they say"im ana on and off" they decide. they purposely starve to be "beautiful"... they idolize beyonce.. which i don't understand because beyonce is one of those people who are trying to get the idea theat skinny is beutiful out of people's minds. Really, if you go to xanga.com and go to the feautured sites there is at least one person in there who is/was anorexic. because they get points forcommenting on othere anorexic's pages.

[ldy_kari]

that picture's fake.

its not fake

[aznhunnie6o1]

No, I'm not bulimic... But one of my friends is and she's in the hospital right now I think.. She didn't get to go to her 8th grade graduation because of bulimia.

[Xprezsion]

I'm not because when I was little, I would always throw up unintentionally because I was scrawny and sickly as a kid, I was almost hospitalized and stuff alot because I was becoming so skinny and didn't want to eat anything. I missed a lot of school and my mom would always scare me and say I was going to drop dead because of what I was doing and that they would have to pump my stomach at the hospital. But it really wasn't my fault, I didn't choose not to eat, I just couldn't for some reason, it would make me sick. So now that I am what I consider a little chubby, I have learned to live with it because I never want to end up how I was when I was little, I was tired from walking 1 block and was always weak.

[toodlepops.]

I don't make myself throw up. others shouldn't too.
