Yeah that's what they do after you're already in the hospital but you can't live in a hospital your entire life. (well I guess technically you CAN but that would probably be more like an institute type situation instead of "I think I'll go to the hospital today")

K, that's great. I'm not confused anymore, thank ppl.
Anyway...I know not all ppl starve themselves. Some ppl uhm....just are like that....(how do I put this into words?)

I really don't care if I get banned for this post but as far as i'm concerned all the people here saying "I'm anorexic rah rah" I ask you this.
What is your BMI?
and
What is your daily intake?
Being anorexic isn't just about "OH YEAH I STARVE MYSELF I'M ANA, THINK THIN!!!!"
Fuck.

It's a serious epidemic in today's society and saying "oh I think i'm anorexic" and not even spelling it right?
Sure. Keep on thinking that. I bet half of the people here claiming an eating disorder don't even know half of the damage it does. Not only to your body but to your mind aswell, the disordered thinking exist for many years afterwards and I bet you just skip a meal every now and then.

I was diagnosed at treated with anorexia (104 lbs at 5'6/800 calories or less per day.) People always made fun of how I looked when I was underweight.
When I was in the process of recovering and gaining weight, people began to make fun of my weight gain as well (although I am STILL skinny and currently 115 lbs and 5'6.)
Not only did they make fun but they also contradicted themselves. The reason? All people are idiots.
Care less about what others think and you'll be forever happy.

i was moderately anorexic from when i was 11 til the middle of my freshman year at highschool(im almost 16 now), somehow i got out of it..but the wierd thing is...i want it again....i feel ugly and fat...but i sort of know im not..i dont reallyknow whats going on!
i mean...do i sound fat? 5'9 130 lbs....i have no idea
its just wierd..i really want to loose so much weight...and everyone i know has said i cant!! but its so hard...i know what your all going through...my friend and I were anorexic together last year..it was nice to have someone to lean on and keep me accountable with the calories...and now that i dont have her anymore i totally lost the whole thing..but im feeling like it was a blessing..because i could have died...but she's still struggling with it..i feel so bad because i helped her....its hard to deal with something like this, and if anyone thinks its all attention and games...its not just that for most people!

Believe me I know.
But positive thinking works.

Yup.
It is easier said than done.
But, of course, everything in life worth having is hard to obtain.
And self-satisfaction and love for yourself is one of the best things you can ever have.
Just keep counteracting all your negative traits with positive traits (i.e. if you have a bad hair day tell yourself how good your makeup came out etc.)
Ehhh. I hope I helped.

BTW Hanna you are NOT fat whatsoever. You are at a perfectly healthy BMI.
I will kill you if you ever even THINK of starving yourself. Okey dokey?

i need help
and i hate it when ppl tell me im "too skinny"

~a cry for help

anorexia is very awkward to explain why people end up not eating
cognitively: it may be you think you are obese and must loose weight
Biologically: may be you have an over active metabolism or something along those lines
Behavioral: you have learned not to eat.
Psycho-Dynamic: There are lots of issues which make you not want to eat
Medical: it is actual and illness.

But i'm in a similar boat because doctors believe I'm bulimic which is even more awkward to diagnose because I eat when people are around so people don't think I have a problem but yeah if you want someone to talk to I'm all ears

My BMI is like, 16.8 or something. I can't help it, thats my fast metabolism right there. I eat alot really.. >_>
