I don't get eating disorders what so ever.
1) Only about 10% of the world doesn't live with hunger and poverty so, if you can afford to eat you should.
2) EVERYONE wants to be beautiful. So to say that it's not fair that you're a bit fat is not an excuse to have people feel sorry for you.
~~Spongy!

My brother was almost anorexic, and it's just a sad disorder because there's really nothing anyone can do. He got counseling and is ok now (it was about 5 years ago), but even though I didn't understand why he wasn't eating, he still scared me. Knowing how it feels from the outside, I would never do that. On the other hand, I also know that it's not something somebody chooses to do. To anorexics, it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle. Eating disorders are classified as a mental condition, not a physical one. And they also have the highest fatality rate of any mental disease. If anyone knows anyone with an eating disorder, the BEST thing you can do is to get them professional help, before they hurt or starve themselves.
no offense, but must you bring such negative comments into this thread as well?.SpongeBobSquarePants said:
i don't have much experience with eating disorders, but i do think it is deplorable how much emphasis our society places on weight. in this society, thin=beautiful. i think that encourages eating disorders.

although i do not completely understand the mentality of someone who's anorexic or bulimic, I do respect that it is a condition. Someone who has one of these conditions does not think of the starving children in africa, they strive to be beatiful, and for some awful reason, they think themselves "fat" or "not pretty enough".
About 7 or 8 months ago, nearly every time my parents were away, I tried to make myself throw up. I have never succeeded. when i confided that this to an x-friend of mine, he confided that he couldn't make himself throw up either until he started using hydrogen peroxide to make himself throw up. He swallowed it. I had never known that he was bulimic, and the thought horrified me. i wanted to help him so bad, so i told my school's guidance councelor. I thought it would be hypocritical of me if i started throwing up on purpose too, so I tried really hard to stop my self-destructive thoughts, that i was "fat". I just accepted the fact that I weigh more than many (not all) of my friends, and classmates.
The All Alias diet that Shari and I created, has already make my self confidence soar higher than it ever has before. I feel so good about myself, and I'm losing weight HEALTHILY! I'm so proud of myself and everyone who's doing this diet.

i know i'm not bulimic or anorexic, but i'm starting to get obsessive about food. i think about it all the time. i don't know what to do. i think it may be a disorder. i sure hope not.
i sure hope not.Alias_Girl_624

thanks mere. awesome ideas. esp. for the last few days i've been obsessive. i'm hoping i can stop, and if i don't i'm not going to let it get out of hand. (like my ALIAS obsession... out of hand. :lol
haha, I know, I used to think about food all the time, now I think about Alias all the time!! I had my english final today, and part of it was vocabulary, and for nearly all the words, I used them in a sentence that had to do with Alias. Like "Marshall is very loquacious (very talkative)" It really helped, lol! I'm becoming obsessed...Alias_Girl_624 said:thanks mere. awesome ideas. esp. for the last few days i've been obsessive. i'm hoping i can stop, and if i don't i'm not going to let it get out of hand.

Just make sure you don't take it too far. My freshman year (2 years ago), I would go 2 days and only have an apple to eat. I was so weak that I could barely even dance for my show choir. It's the scariest thing in the world to wake up in the middle of the night and have your heart beating so fast it feel like it will fly out of your chest. Luckily for me, my stupid obsession w/ food only lasted a couple months, but it was still long enough for me to realize how serious it can be
