Are you anorexic?

Question:

i'm just trying to understand what happens. How long did it take before the weight that you felt you needed to lose to come off? What did you do? Just not eat at all? Be honest? I just love food and I can't imagine dealing with the dizziness or any of the side effects associated with not eating.

Answers:
anorexia is a disease. at first you think you only need to lose so much but even when that is gone all you can see when you look at yourself is another 10 or 15 extra lbs you could do without. i never really had any side effects until i started to eat more & gain weight maybe bc i didnt stop eating, i just cut it down on how much. instead of a ordering a normal meal when we went out, i may get something off the kids menu & eat half because i also love food. i am fully recovered and yet still not satisfied but i guess thats just the disease

No, I'm not anorexic, that just disgusts me. That messes up your stomach lining, throat lining (esophogus) and teeth. Besides I'm afraid of aspirating the contents (breathing in the vomit) and ending up in the hospital, where I know everyone!

anorexia is a disease, and if you are anorexic, you don't ever get satisfied of how you look. even though other people might think your are skinny, you yourself isn't gonna think so and keep going at it till it can potentially threaten your life.
