In the time of a year I went from a size 8 to a size 2 and the amount of my families members that walked up to me and told me I looked good was terrible
I don't have a eating disorder (not even close) but I am underweight and no matter how much I try I can't gain weight. Any tips lol. (please don't be offended)
@@missquirky7064 hi honey, well it's kinda triggering that you ask this to me lol and the only way i know how to gain weight is binging wHICH IS NOT HEALTHY AT ALL :( But I think you can gain weight eating healthy high-calorie foods and increasing your calorie intake + gym 💞 Btw good luck babe
damn, i was overwieght before my eating disorder and my family woul buy me clothes that where to small, my dad trying to make me feel better said "he just thinks your skinnier than u think you are" like wow okay thanks dad.
This is why I just don't comment on people's appearances any more, unless it's something they've chosen to do that I like and want to compliment e.g. a new haircut, or cool clothes. We have such a fucked up relationship with body weight that you never how triggering what you say could be to someone
my mom was looking through pictures of me when I had an eating disorder, and she said "Wow, you looked so much thinner here!" I told her I was anorexic and "didn't eat much" during that time and she said: "You were going through a phase, so I just let you go." you have no idea how much that hurt
"You don't look like you have an eating disorder" Is one of the most triggering things you can say to someone who is suffering. It can make them invalidate their illness and keep pushing until they're 'thin enough to have an eating disorder'. By that point, a lot of physical damage is done and recovery gets father away. Sorry for the rant, I just felt like that was important to note.
That's very sad. But an eating disorder is a mental issue and therefore it is not important how much a person weighs since the problem is in their mind. You can be on a normal weight but have anorexia, that is not uncommon in anorexic people. The same with people who are naturally very skinny. It doesnt automatically mean that they have anorexia only because they have a low body weight. Usually uneducated people think this way but professionals should know that it's not about the number on the scale.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Every body that is put into starvation mode will react differently. The only time during the entire course of my eating disorder when I actually lost weight is when I had a virus for 3 months. I have gained more weight from disordered eating than from eating properly.
I was the opposite; part of my recovery was loosing weight but can’t tell how many times I heard “you’re loosing weight, you’re so pretty NOW.” The mental backflips were real when I gained even a pound back, thanks for the sensitivity people 👍🏽🙄.
@@MedusaThrived sad to hear. I Know how it is...... I was 11 to when I began restriction and ended op at a bmi under 14 😬 I am 14 years old to but sometimes I end op restriction again. I am better but it's hard when your parents doesn't care...... Good luck in the future hope you get better (happy)
My boyfriend used to say, "Boy you were hungry" everytime I finished everything on my plate. It would make me feel so guilty for eating. I'm happy I talked to him about it.
I'd reply "Boy you skipped level 1 biology". I'd also dump him afterwards, but that's just me. That's toxic behaviour, and I don't even have an eating disorder. I can't imagine what someone with an ed would feel after hearing utter stupidity. 😑
Hey I'm sry to anyone who had to go thru that. It is not fun thing to hear when u already have a bad relationship with food. I wanna say tho I think humans have a thing. I don't know what that thing is and why it happens. But sometimes when they are in a bad mood or just neutral mood and they see someone eating fast or loud or just normally even...it creates a sort of icky feeling. I can't explain it. And I don't know if that's only me. But I have felt it before while watching someone eat but I try not to say anything unsupportive as I wouldn like it if somebody said that to me duh. Whenever I get that feeling I just literally bully myself in the head like "yo what's ur problem this person just enjoying their meal" and the feeling goes away.
@@liara_luthi7587 I’m so sorry the culture we live in teaches such toxic mentality’s please take care and please seek help as soon as you can. I’m sending so muvh love you matter and your happiness matters
I was talking to someone I really trusted and I finally opened up about my eating disorder and he just said, “if you had an eating disorder you wouldn’t be so..... big.” I just hung up the phone. I was upset and that triggered me for a few weeks. I finally explained what an eating disorder was and how it worked and they didn’t even care. Please educate yourself people
That's awful :( I've had a similar run in, I told my ex and they were like "no you don't, since when???" And I told my mom and she said "when did you have one? You're healthy???" I told my bf a couple weeks back and he just doesn't say anything. Idk if its because he doesn't wanna deal with it, doesn't believe it, doesn't understand, or doesn't know what to say, or he's overwhelmed. The hard part is going through 20 mood swings everyday wondering which one it is lmfao. I'm so sorry you had to go through that with that person, that is just God awful. I woulda decked him for you 😤😤😤😤
"If I were to make something up, it'd definitely be better than anorexia." That hit home. Like yeah, haha, I'd rather write another book. Not nearly starve myself to death.
An Acquired Taste how did you get your books published?? I have written a book about my son, but I am having a hard time getting it published. Any ideas and hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 💖😃
@@happyhorse1028 like any product, a book needs an audience. This audience is usually one you have to grow yourself, online, these days. You will benefit from a literary agent. Also, just writing a book is not enough. You also have to edit it throughoutly, take it through the beta reader/critique partner process and still hire a professional editor to polish it off. There's 2 types of publishing. Self-publishing and being published by an agency. Boons to both. If a self-published book does really well, publishing houses are likely to try and pick it up. Never pay a publisher to get published. It's a scam. Learn some marketing skills. Yeah, that's the crash course.
An Acquired Taste thank you. Lol 😂 I have already been scammed by not one, but two vanity publishers within a couple of days. I didn’t realise that I had been scammed until after I received the contract. IIt didn’t cost me anything in dollars, but It was a huge blow to my echo. I am more careful about who I send my manuscript to now. Do you mind me asking if you self published or went through an agent and publisher? Also could you please tell me the names of your books and where I can find them. Thank you for all your help.
"should you be eating that?" "are you gonna run now?" "more???" "you havent eaten? Dont be stupid." "You can't just eat everything." "why arent you eating anything?" All things ive heard, thoughtless words out of mt mothers mouth that make me miserable.
“Did you go in the bathroom to purge again?” “OMG you didn’t throw up did you?” 🙄😒 “You’ve gained weight...” “You should eat more.” “You should workout more instead of doing that.” “Maybe if you tried...(dieting, running, etc).” “Stop being so lazy and go run, maybe you wouldn’t complain about your weight or body.” “You ate only a banan today?! That’s not good, you should eat more.”
I've literally had people give me THAT LOOK, and try to take food from me while telling me " maybe you should stop eating. You've eaten a bit much don't you think?"
i hate it when people say you’re not thin enough to have an eating disorder or i don’t look like i have an eating disorder. honestly it makes me want to go even harder just to prove myself and be validated
Everything mental health related shoul not come in contact with the word "just". "It's JUST in your head" "JUST get up" "JUST do that thing" ec. NOTHING mental health related is JUST something.
the sad thing is that most people with mental health issues lack emotional intelligence , which scientists think is coming from self security of the brain. many mental health issues could be changed by the perosn it self if it would be able to change their perspective on deep things in their life which caused these illnesses . but these people cant do it , theyre not able to change their perspective on their own . its a missery in many cases
@@kizzsir5632 hey guys, we got a qualified psychologist over here 🙄 did you use your "emotional intelligence" to write this, or just your standard ignorance?
YES, I HATE THAT! And "You are taking too long to order", especially because when I started recovering I was always trying to identify if I was choosing something because I actually wanted it or because it was my anorexia choosing something safe to eat
The most annoying statments: "You dont look as sick as some anorexics," *eats a small breakfast* --- "oh so are u healthy now" "NO karen im not and yes i do eat, because if i didnt i would be dead right now"
“If you think you’re fat, then what am I” Urm hun it’s not about you ... The whole way through my ED I thought larger women were absolutely completely stunning... that did not stop the irrationality of me needing to fade away and thinking I was huge when I wasn’t
Georgie Roberts I used to do this trying to make people feel better. But then (I’m still fat but not as much) someone who is bigger told me that and that even pushed me more to not eat.
when I opened up about my disordered eating past someone said "oh that's not that low, that's not anorexia weight" Sorry that my unhealthiest period does not qualify as "enough" in your book??? Honestly 😒😒
That's very sad. But an eating disorder is a mental issue and therefore it is not important how much a person weighs since the problem is in their mind.

“You can’t having an eating disorder, I’ve seen you eat” “Ugh I haven’t eaten all day, I feel anorexic” “Over eating and emotional eating aren’t an illness just push yourself away from the table” “Have you tried dieting?” “You could just stop eating for awhile”
*My cousin: * touches my waist * "WOW! You're so thin"* That somehow motivated me to continue starving so NEVER tell this to someone who struggles with an eating disorder.
@@ma0487 Tell her everything she's missing just to have a perfect body (which is unreal and it won't make you happy) She will miss lots of memories because she will be too focused on her intake/body image. She deserves to enjoy a full life
Another classic for me is getting skinny-shamed becasue people think it'll make me want to recover... It just fuels the eating disorder and hurts my feelings lol
what should I say to my friend? I was told not to tell her she looks good as it can motivate her to continue but I don't want to body shame her? I love her so much and dont want her to lose trust in me as someone she can talk to about it
so I did it i’m in the same position as you, what did you say to her and how is she now? Help me please I don’t wanna make it worse but idk what to make it better ether
When I was in middle school, one time my friends mom picked me up from school, she kept complimenting me on how skinny I was (I was 78lbs at the time) she asked how I got so skinny and I told her it was because I was on Adderall for my ADHD, and it had some side affects such as loss of appetite, insomnia, sometimes anxiety, ect. And she just replied with "wow it looks like it works well for weight tho, think I'm going to try it out"
When I first became physically disabled, I was struggling to walk and hold myself up so much and was bed bound because of this. I couldn't physically prepare a meal, I needed carers to do that, but I didn't get a response from social services for quite a while and in that time I often went weeks without food and consequently shedding stones like it was going out of fashion. I got so. Many. Compliments. After a while I just smiled and replied "Thanks! I'm malnourished!"
someone told my sister she didnt look like she had an eating disorder (after like a month of refeeding in hospital) and she cried for a week. also a nurse sid she looked so much healthier and she cried herself to sleep that night
I know I'm extremely late but I don't understand how telling someone they look healthier is a bad thing? Isn't that celebrating the success of the recovery?
Connes in an eating disordered mind , it usually connotates with fat or thicker. i know for me my anorexia was very hard to let go of , because it felt like it manifested itself into my personality. so hearing someone say “you look healthier” felt like you look fatter or you look good now that anorexia isn’t in control anymore. i know it sounds crazy , but anorexia is an extremely difficult thing to explain if you’ve never had it. but basically what i am trying to say is, anorexia feels like an abusive boyfriend , i know it’s bad for me , but without i feel lost or not good enough. it’s like having all these memories of it , but you shouldn’t go back to engage with those behaviors anymore.
“I wish I had a body like yours” Me: what? Spit out blood cause bulimia tore up my throat? Or when I had anorexia and then gain weight by changing meds and having a mental breakdown? Na mate, keep your body you don’t want mine
I have a relative that I have actually never met, who has anorexia. Her family tried so hard to help her, but she just wouldn't eat. Now she's in a clinic 300 miles from home. Eating disorders are very real, and that people think that they're just "attention seeking" is really upsetting.
@@Whatevadantewante he's saying that a lot of the time one of the symptoms that come up is that ur period will stop and bcoz they never talk about male-specific symptoms
As a doctor, I'll admit I vastly underestimated the severity and impact of eating disorders before I started treating them as a psychiatry doctor. I just wish there was less fragmentation between services and more funding so eating disorder teams don't have to say no to helping so many people.
I love how you included men too! So many people think that it's just women. We never talk about men having EDs. (Currently in recovery for anorexia rn bc my family would kill me if they knew.)
My step dad said "you're eating already??" when i was reheating a slice of pizza, after I had just gotten home from work... I hadn't eaten anything in 24 hours and felt it was okay for me to eat something. Little did he know I only eat the cheese and toppings on a pizza, and ended up puking it up later because I couldn't take the thought of actually having "bad" food being in my body. I thought about that for two days straight.
I went to my grandma's funeral when I was at my worst. The aunt I see only once ever several years walks up to me and shakes her head in disapproval and says "No, that's not cute. You're way to skinny. You go to far. It's not attractive". At that same funeral, the brother I've only seen 3 times in my life walked up and kept asking me what my workout and diet secrets were because I looked "great". He wouldn't drop it. SMH. That was an interesting day for me and my ED to say the least.
U can never win realy...i dont even have an eating disorder just naturally skinny, and its the same for me .sometimes nasty comments and sometimes compliments
@@lea5608 thank you girlie! I have been in full recovery for 3 years. I never thought that would happen but I am so happy I put in the work! Thank You!
@@TheTjoy910 you're welcome:) I've had a eating disorder, too, but gladly it didn't go as far as a clinic or sth like that. I managed to get away from it myself. I'm proud of you!
An eating disorder can be very destructive, both physically and emotionally, and people can get trapped into a destructive cycle without knowing how to cope with it. It is not just about food and weight, but also about a person’s sense of who they are.
Rudolf de Lang i saw a psychology article that talked about how "it's rarely ever about food" and that's very important. A person with an eating disorder can be made to eat, but if the underlying problems are still there...well :/
Charlotte anytime I go to meeting, the counselors target self hate, and anger. As I address these other issues, my eating habits have gotten healthier.
Why is everyone talking about being anorexic and bulimia like there's other eating disorders like binge eating compulsive overeating like that's a struggle emotional eating is a nightmare and it's an endless loop
Omg, I’m recovering from bulimia and the amount of people that have told me “I tried being bulimic but didn’t have the ‘courage’, ‘strength’, ‘drive’ ...” AHhHaaHaAAHhHhh!!!
Carolina Murtha oh no I’m sorry that you’re going through it!! No one going through what you are should have to ever hear that :( take care and stay strong!
@@thebabyhater I had a "friend" who said to a girl with anorexia had "so much self control". The anorexic girl responded "no, I'm dying" and my "friend" was like "but you're *so* thin it's great". I have never been more disgusted.
The fact that I was a stereotypical anorexic (white teenage girl) really invalidated me. I felt like my problems weren't real because "every girl feels this way". I hid because I didn't want people to roll their eyes and say "oh typical teenager". In short, stereotypes harm everyone.
"You don't eat enough." Omg I know that's What I'm trying to do "You look so healthy!" Literally causes me mental breakdowns and panic and anxiety attacks
Well I don't have an eating disorder so I can't talk much about it, and tbh I don't really know what to comment either, but I just wanna say something nice...I really wish you the best
I can imagine how painful it had felt, I'm sorry they said that to you. I think people need to educate themselves more and realise that the last thing a person in recovery from an eating disorder would want to hear is a comment regarding their appearance. So it's best not to talk about it at all, even if it may sound positive, it can hurt a lot more than you could imagine. Stay safe, friend. I hope you're in a better place 🌺
@MAKENA WINKIEL Try to set a good example yourself by showing your friend what a healthy relationship with food looks like, as well as positive body image and a balanced exercise mindset. As people with eating disorders continue with recovery, it becomes easier to talk about food and other sensitive topics, so just be patient and don't rush into potentially triggering conversation. As a recovering anorexic, I can tell you that a year ago I was a different person with different thoughts. Sure, I'm not perfect even now, but recovery takes a lot of time and hard work. It will get better!
@@Isak-H as someone with it. I can tell you that it is very different from person to person. I could be in that video with no problem but still get an anxiety attack if I think about eating out.
I see a lot of people in this comment section who have/had an eating disorder, and to you I say have an amazing day, and if you're still trying to recover, I hope you get well soon💜
It’s the most commonly known one and people assume they restrict. Of course I disagree but I get why people assume it and aren’t as clued up with other EDs. It’s like the top hierarchy of it
I am now in recovery but I had binge eating disorder to the point I became morbidly obese. I had no off switch it was no food or eat it till its gone.it was a way of protecting myself and making myself undesirable. Eating disorders come in all types.....
I know that recovery is very difficult but stay strong I hope that you would get better even though we don’t know each other I just wanted to support 🙌🏼
Isn't it so annoying that people seem to think that eating disorders only affect skinny people? It's not true. I'm around 20 stone (I haven't weighed myself in years, as I was at one point OBSESSED with how much I weighed, to the point where I was weighing myself 2-3 times a day), and I binge eat.
They certainly do. I was looking for a comment about BED. Frustratingly, people don't see it as a real illness. Sadly that's where I am in my life right now, and I don't really have many recovery options. Do you mind if I ask you where you got the best help from?
My favourite is when they try to guilty trip you with “There are kids starving in Africa and you’re throwing away you’re food” Not everyone can afford a home either but you seem perfectly fine with your mansion Karen
camila cedeno I was fat and because a healthy weight from starving myself and that motivated me. I'm recovering now and it kills me when someone mentions I lost weight because it makes me want to lose more.
I'd never even heard of it until I met someone who had it, a couple of years ago. Some awareness/ education on it could be very useful. That's what they did with dyslexia in the 90s and I think it's helped a lot.
I appreciate these people coming forward, but what about people with binge-eating disorder who have become overweight/obese? It's tiring to see how underrepresented binge-eaters are in these kinds of conversations. Especially considering they make up a huge portion of people with eating disorders worldwide.
And what about people who have binge-eating disorder but aren't overweight ? Like when I tell my mom I can't control myself when I eat, she doesn't take me seriously because I'm not fat enough to have binge-eating disorder.
i think shame is a big part in it. those people seems like they have more or less recovered, too. one woman talked about not being skinny enough to have an ED. you can never really tell.
when I was in recovery, my mum hugged me and said “there’s more of you to hug now” it really shattered my heart, I relapsed and I’m still failing to recover.
Even after recovery I sometimes still get anxiety about my weight or how much I'm eating. I've just learned to live with it and keep fighting against it. It will never go away completely.
Yes you're right. Eating disorder thoughts after a successful recovery are normal. iT is about how someone deals with them. The thoughts are there but they dont have the power any more to influence someone's life or even take control over someone's life.
The thing is that’s part of recovery. Learning to accept the weight gain and embracing healthier body. Hearing a comment like that, as a hard as it can be, should be taken as a positive
"Play with your puppy and just eat some more" "Go eat a burger" "Enjoy how you look right now, it won't last forever" "Just add more butter and drink lots of soda and you'll be all better" "You're a bit too skinny, skip the salad and eat some pizza" (I've never eating a salad in my life btw) These are some of the things doctors have told me on how to treat my painful stomach condition that mimicked an ED. It caused severe 24/7 nausea and bad stomach cramping that made keeping food down hard so I would end up throwing up every time I ate out of pain but I looked like I had an ED so they wouldn't listen to my symptoms or why I didn't have an eating disorder. I can't imagine what people must go through it they actually have an ED and try to get help from doctors like this. There's so much dismissal and horrible statements and I hope that doctors become more educated on it over time
I don't even have an eating disorder, but some people believe I have anorexia because I'm skinny (I've always been) and I'm a picky eater. They basically come to me like "hey, are you anorexic?" Wtf??? You just don't go asking people those things!
SparkleHood it’s because there are so many stereotypes about them that people choose to believe. People won’t educate themselves about things that are irrelevant to themselves.
@@jw-27j01 eating disorders are pretty irrelevent in general , another illness produced in the first world due to uneducated people letting them self get pressured by their social arrounding and standards and not enough emotional intelligence to fix their problems . "its all in youre head" i think every human beeing is able to solve these problems for themself if they would invest enough time in them self and reflecting them selfs.So they can find where the pressure theyre feeling is coming from and if this feeling is really necessary . sure eating disorders are bad and should be taken seriously cuz its really harming . but i cant lose the fact thaht these prople kind of decided this themself by letting the enviroment pressuring themself that much and focusing on their look instead on their character .
@@kizzsir5632 this is so ignorant lol. you do realise that for a lot of people its not even about focusing on how they look right? for some its about control, or can be in response to trauma.
i love what the man in the black shirt said about when people ask what his lowest weight was and he replied “i don’t say because i don’t wanna be like, oh, i was a gold star anorexic.” 💗
I have a large ribcage so even after I didn't eat for a year I was still "big". My partners where really the only ones that saw it, when I was laying down you could count every rib. My BMI (which is actually honestly bullshit) was never at a "healthy number" even when my stomach caved in from my ribs, I was still 5"3' and 152 at my absolute lowest. To this day when I tell people then I had a eating disorder they say "well you look pretty big in those pictures, so you definitely didn't have an eating disorder". Like, no I had a eating disorder, sorry I don't fit your ideal. Doesn't mean I didn't stugfle
That's very sad. But an eating disorder is a mental issue and therefore it is not important how much a person weighs since the problem is in their mind. You can be on a normal weight but have anorexia, that is not uncommon in anorexic people. The same with people who are naturally very skinny.

"Are you gonna eat just that??" "Why don't you eat more??" "Just eat more!" "Just stop eating when you're full." "Why do you eat so much?" "How does all this food fit in your little stomach?!?" "I didn't imagine you could eat all this food" "Why you never come to eat with us? It's just lunch/dinner!" "You just gained a little weight don't worry! You're just growing up" "You're so grown-up!" "Look at your boobs!"
I had anorexia in my teens and still can't put on weight, because food just doesn't seem that enjoyable anymore - so when people tell me they want to have my body, it breaks my heart. Yes, you can see my bones, yes, I never feel fat but I also _can't rely on my body to work properly_ . When has that become desirable? Edit: Also you never get rid of an eating disorder, you just learn to cope with it. Some better than others
I have bulimia and something you said really spoke to me: “food just doesn’t seem that enjoyable anymore.” Because I go through binge and purged and was very secretive about the purges, a lot of people in my family tease me or give me a hard time for “always” eating. I don’t enjoy it at all, it’s my way to cope. As part of my recovery I finally had to break it down that “I HATE EATING.” This blew their minds, but I do. I would love to be able to enjoy food some day but for now the best I can do is eat balanced and stick to small frequent meals so it’s pretty much purely fuel. Hopefully someday ...
My eating disorder circles around ptsd from having appendicitis and I’m slowly recovering, but I lost over 10 pounds in 2 months and my parents were like “well just eat”. I mean I want to!! And my friends were all asking me how I was so skinny and I just sat there. Also, a lot of my friends have struggled with their weight, so every time I said I wanted to gain weight they all told me I DON’T want to... sooo. Eating disorders, am I right?
As a "chubbier" anorexic, this is my everyday thing. I've never been underweight, but I had a lack of potassium, iron, calcium... I also lost my period and a ton of hair. It was so painful when I talked about my awful relationship with food and how many kilos I lost in less than a month and people were impressed and asked me for tips, when I didn't eat anything in almost a week. Hopefully my mother noticed and I'm on recovery now. I'm battling a lot, and sometimes I restrict even if I think I'm doing great but deep down my heart I know I'm not.
People who admire anyone's control with food either have an ED themselves or are on their way to developing one. Seems a strange thing to think, let alone say, from the perspective of a person with no eating disorders.
Admiring someone because they have the control over food isn't a bad thing. Only when the person they are speaking about has an eating disorder. I know plently of people who have control over food.. they eat when they are hungry and don't when they aren't. I eat when I am bored sometimes so can admire someone who has a little more control than me.
@@j.s.2281 Exactly! If you tell someone who you know has an ED that you admire their control with food, that's very foolish and insensitive. But having good, healthy, flexible, consistent control over one's eating is admirable. As someone who felt very out of control of my eating for quite a while when I was young, I'm proud of my current relationship with food. That said, I'd like to learn to eat less out of boredom, and make healthier food choices. And I admire the healthy self-control of the people I know who do make healthy food choices and rarely eat out of boredom and DON'T have eating disorders. There's clawing after control and then there's actually having it. When you actually have control, it doesn't feel precarious and you don't fixate on having/losing it.
From my own experience - I had eating disorder since I was 10 and when I was 21 I became severely bulimic and after puking for 4 months everyday I finally went to the doctor and when I told her that I had been puking fpr 4 months, she SNORTED because she thought I wasn't sick enough. Luckily other doctor took me seriously and I recovered. It doesn't matter how long you've been sick or doing something, if you feel you need help, YOU NEED HELP. period.
I am an ED therapist at a treatment center. I play this video all the time for my patient's and their parents. It really helps them understand things in a way that is easy to laugh at. Thank you for this video.
I think bananas are most of us fear food... I mean... It's like, is fruit, but... "Do you know what bananas are made of?!" Me to my therapist while crying
MultiFandomVidder Its actually crazy you commented under this because i'm largely recovered now and its crazy reading this comment. I love bananas now! Sending love and strength to you ❤️
Right??? Why tf do people take it as their own personal responsibility to make comments about your weight. I don't comment on their weight! My auntie: "wow you've lost too much weight. You need to eat more". Me: "wow auntie, your way fatter than last time. Why don't you eat less". Yeah, but that's not ok to say. See how inappropriate that is?? Sigh. So frustrating.
"Why are you so picky?" "your so ungrateful you waste food" "Your gonna just disappear if you dont eat." "JuSt eAt a bANanA" Me: "eating actual meals make me feel sick." Mom: * forces me to eat an entire plat of food anyway * Me: * almost throws up and feels sick the rest of the day * Mom: * surprised Pikachu face *
@@exile8245 It appears you have no understanding of how anorexia works. If you have been anorexic for long enough, your body physically can't handle food. It's not them being ungrateful (incredibly rude thing to say, by the way), it's that their body will not allow them to eat a full meal. It takes small steps and time to recover and be able to eat meals again. Please think before you comment, and learn about the topic instead of shaming the original commenter.
So I have a peanut allergy, and my friend offers me a snickers and I turn it down and I go to explain and she just goes “oh for god sake a snickers won’t make u fat stop pretending you have an eating disorder its pissing me off” and I just go “yeah I have a peanut allergy but alright” she just goes bright red and puts the snickers away 😂
