Lies that Anorexia tells you

[MiaRelevio]

I've been in recovery for about 6 months now. I spent those 6 months still trying to lose weight. It worked for a little bit, but then I lost weight and ended up back where I started. Y'know, anorexia wasn't worth it. I lost so much... so many people and things. And a lot of time. I barely remember anything that went on in my life for the past year. It's all a blur.... I was too focused on food and weight. And now I'm fighting for recovery the same way I fought for relapse.

[TheOnlyException69]

Because of anorexia my life is shit and I have medical issues including a hyperactive thyroid which will probably get worse. All of the shit it tells you is false.

@Holding0n I think that ur doing a great job helping people with what ur doing keep doing a good job :)

[ananmia101]

i feel the same way

[OddsandEndsGirl]

That's all well and good for girls who are 170 lbs & trying to lose weight,

oh you fit in a medium! but want to be in a double 0

Boo hoo, cry me a river

try being 250 - 260 lbs (I'm afraid to step on a scale)

all you want is to be under 200 lbs & be able to fit in a large!

Does fatty need to eat now?

[Holding0n]

@OddsandEndsGirl Yes, you do need to eat. It doesn't matter what your weight is. Starving yourself is a really great way to develop malnutrition, thyroid problems, kidney problems, a messed up metabolism and heart problems - to name a few. Starvation also leads to severe depression, severe anxiety and obsessive thoughts. Anorexia is not a diet, it's a mental illness triggered by multiple factors and it is hell, ir ruins lives and it takes lives. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

[ItsTayTayBetch]

@OddsandEndsGirl {no offence intended im just blunt }well alot of girls started at 200lbs the differnts is we actully stopped till we went down and just arnt done yet. everything in moderation or else ull get sick and pass out if ur gonna do it. do it right.my advice is step on the scale.and cry. then get motivated. and eat healthy and exercise. or excersie and not eat at all. might do better with the first but the second worked fast and better for me just sayn. just gotta know when to stop.

[LittleRawrAnaa]

@OddsandEndsGirl That is horribly rude for people who do have Ana, Mia or any other ED. It takes strength just to watch these. Trust me.

[TheLilacmama]

@OddsandEndsGirl The point should never have been division of anybody according to weight, but unification against the way we FEEL when we try to shove ourselves into a perfect little mold made up for an over sexed and delusional world that is always changing and never satisfied with the inside of a person instead of their looks. Rather than being hateful, realize that some of them may have started out just like you, and see the result. Try using the way you feel to connect, not alienate.

Byron Katie has a way to examine the painful Universal Beliefs that are causing the painful behaviors. It's called The Work. Free info and Helpline is available. TheWork.com

[Sarahrosebello]

Thank you.

Once I managed to say, out loud, "shut the fuck up, you need to eat" to myself, ending a fast after passing out.

I hope to be able to say that more often now.

It just doesn't leave you alone.

[amyleeismyidol]

thank you for this :)

[Scoochiexd]

Thank you so so much; watching your videos just gave me the strength to remove my pro ana-website :]

[elibeth121]

@Scoochiexd that is the best thing I have read, thank you so much for removing your pro ana website

[Halenbeek]

All anna's should try EFT - Emotinal Freedom Technique! You can control your unconscious and reprogram yourself very quickly. Check it out ladies and become beautiful human beings!

[makki4070]

it makes me sad to read all these grieving comments below, i was just like that no more than 7 months ago. i thought that inspirational videos were lies of people who didn't really understand what i was going through. so i want to say to anyone suffering from an ED to try another way to live. you'll never be 100% sure of wanting to recover but eventually the pain will get so unvearable, that's for sure. you have nothing to lose, give recovery a chance. don't give up people

[PurePhinaticPopper]

start doing something positive, like dancing for example, in contemporary you can express your feeling through dance. Before I started I was overweight and had a low self esteem, now I feel alot better, all im trying to say is, find a hobbie that can take your mind away from the issue, when ever you feel down, go back to your hobbie to forget about the problems. I hope this helps.

[veraaaaax]

oh my, it made me cry

i really really love this video.

you can be so proud of yourself,

i know i am!

[xXxCirxXx]

this is exactly what i needed to see my eating disorder is so in comntrol to a point i feel ok if that makes sense its hard to grasp its a problem when its so normal to me, i wish i wanted recovery 100% i totally admire ppl like you who go for it despite the fears....

[carlygendron2]

k all those "lies" r things i tell myself everyday ok im only 9 years old and guess what im anorexict so yaa

[mdogizzleindahouse12]

wow, they just keep getting younger & younger, you're a year younger than my little sister, & I can't imagine her going through what i am. so please, do what you can to stop it now, before you throw away your life that has barely even started yet.

[anarkai27]

thank you for sharing your video.

:-)

[hatersmakemefamous3]

What was making you "hurt soo much" to begin with? What caused the anorexia to begin?

[catloverADG]

For some reason I don't believe those lies that you wrote! I just can't.

[renesemee1000]

Positive videos make me feel even worse because it makes realize even more how much desperate and miserable I am and how screwed up my life is. I've got no friends anymore. I lost everything.

[surviveorvive]

Maybe you´d better no see more vids. Speak to someone, speak to me , I´m an old witch who´ve been through that, for too long. Speak to me , I´m, luckily ,alive. I´l tel you mu story, and maybe you´ll listen, honey. I´ll be arond, renesemee1000.

[taylor831u]

you can talk to me if you want :) ill be a friend.. i have beeen there and still am so i have been told.. but i cant get better :(... so you can talk to me if you ever feel like it! we are all here for you!! best wishes!!

[makki4070]

@renesemee1000 and you can have it back whenever you want. stop feeling sorry for yourself. EDs make us miserable but i promise there's a way out

[addictionCentral]

thanks for putting this video up,

thank you

[anasscottishgurl]

love, love, love this video too. xxx

[dauntlessdreams]

you make beautiful, inspirational videos!

[rugrats1212]

i know i need help now in this moment

but when i get up in the morning i shall just keep on hiding everything

[Hoopzcutie9]

i love this video.. i was anerextic and am on the way to recovery but it made me realize im not alone... other ppl r trying too

[gnrqueen]

Yeah...that was such a great video!

but whenever i try to think normal and be normal...i make things worse ..

i feel like i really deserve this -_-"

no1 likes me anyways..!

[taylor831u]

i know how you feel trully, i whached this and didn't believe any of the "truth" stuff. i know they are all lies.

[SissieBelle1]

I feel the same...the vid was great but I still don't trust the "truth". I am too afraid that everyone is lying to me just to get me to give in so I will loose all control and get fat. That scares me more than the series of blackouts I had Friday, I guess from my anorexia or electrolytes or whatever.

Thx for the video I hope I can trust to see things that clearly one day.

[CherryLipsXx]

:O where did you get the photography from? it's amazing!

[lunargirl3am]

I thought I was recovered but now I'm not so sure....

*Repeats this mantra* I must not relapse!

[PradaHore]

ok i was bulimic for a year and i lost about 10stone I was huge before then i just decided to stop and i now eat normal and healthy so matbe it is about controll and nowing what you can controll and nowing whento stop!!! does that make any sence???

[AVALONFANINVA]

I agree with what you say on the video thanks for sharing!

[PeaceChick07]

This is so awesome & inspiring & I thank you!

[muchogwapita]

great, this video is an eye opener!!

it's the only real thing in this whole ordeal. i'm hoping that no other girl would

fall in this trap and listen to the lies.

having an E.D. iz not worth it, you lose everything!! thick people are hot too!!

[beviboop]

Amazing Video. Soo true.

I can relate to it soo much.

But it's scary to try & get better. I just end up making things worse & going into a relapse. I'd love to be able to eat anything i want but i just can't. It's soo hard. If anyone has any advice or wants to chat then email me x x x

[elibeth121]

@beviboop you can write to me anytime you want

[EDxANAx1990]

This video is an eye-opener to everyone..

When I watched it I felt so related to the things you said and about the lies, Anorexia tells..

I wished I had the courage to get help, but I don't..

[elibeth121]

@EDxANAx1990 find the courage, set yourself free of your ED, you can do it

[chezny18]

thats video is amazing!!! im in middle ov a relapse at the min and finding it hard but that video just made me want to get better and live life im only 19 got soo much to do yet and ive missed out on so much!!!

[digidrama]

thank you. it's so hard to choose to recover- and I fight against it sooo much... but I ultimately want to be able to eat normally again. It seems so hard- but this video really helped inspire me. If only it could play on repeat in my brain the whole day- instead of the broken record of Ana.

[exhale04]

that video is beautiful!

i think when people see it, it will give them hope.

who sings that song?

[imjoy393]

Thank you. Such truth.

[welcometothejungle21]

thank you for this video.  It's absolutely beautiful.
