Eating Disorder Intro: Part 1

[katybrewer1966]

I appreciate that you are doing this. You are correct, they show the girls side all the time, it is nice to know that men also suffer from these disorders. I will keep you in my prayers that you will get better.

[eduarin]

[Eedgy]

You say that Eating disorders are torture not glamour. So whats with the Username of your channel?

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Why don't you take the time to read my profile before asking such questions?

[WiccanEarthAngel]

Kudos for sharing with us, luff <3

[Pink1965Tara]

I hope you get better soon.

my whole entire family has orthoexia. sometimes at dinner it seems like its just our negative obsessed voices that are out, i cant stand it. anyways, this is like your first video look how far you've came this is amazing, you should go through all your videos from start to the most recent one, and you will truly see how far you came. you are amazing. if my kids develop the negative mind i'm getting rid of i will have a great influence (you) to help set them positive

[SessanTunsberg]

Yeah... Ed`s are not glamours at all and It makes me mad to see and hear about people talking about Ed`s like its a lifestyle and trend.

[MeVampireSquad]

id love if youd show us some of your art. im an artist myself..

[MyOwnStickFigure]

There are a lot more mature ways to ask and learn. It's an obsession with healthy eating and food. Check out my vids or watch my tv appearance on it, or search the web.

[Alivia10]

you are so brave, i really do hope you beat your disorder, if you havent yet, i will pray for you..

<3 <3 <3

ohhh one of your first videos... too bad the lighting is a bit funny, and it was not so long ago... it is amazing how much you hav helped people since then and how you have grown emotionally... i am so happy for you; it is nice to 'go back to the beginning ofthe videos'

[xsarahssecretx]

hey i was wondering how did you get told you had "orthorexia" and also can you please give a better definition of what it is and how it started etc. thanks... p.s also, what you think of the pro-ana movement?

[MyOwnStickFigure]

You should really check out all of my orthorexia videos for a better description - search my you tube video box for vids on them. And I will be on TV august 1st 2008 on ABC 20/20 talking about orthorexia, tune in and watch - see my recent video "Watch me on TV" for more info

You know sraphael don't you? I know her in real life, I'm her boyfriends sister, Sophie is doing really well, and i have only just seen this video, I know a lot about E.D's, I hope you recover soon. my brother always said, if you want to get rid of something, don't side with it. For public speaking, i did a talk on E.D's.

by the way, Sophie is doing really well, she is out of clinic!!

I think the pro-ed movement is a bunch of people, tuck in the mentality of their disease(s) helping each other kill each other through destructive tips and tricks and buddy "support". I think it's all bull shit and I do not support it. I think these people are very sick and need help. I was once a part of it and will never deny that. However, I didn't do tips and tricks stuff. I just made friends who encouraged my weight loss and glorified my pictures as thinspiration. Regardless, I learned.

[PrincessAriel2sing]

you're such a love. I know eating disorders suck, I am anorexic and it is my own personal hell. you're really courageous for sharing, though! keep up the great work!

[mexicanmayhem07]

I think its great that its a guy talking about eds. A lot of people think that only young girls and women are effected. I hope you can inspire more guys who are suffering to get help.

[shaynapalmer26]

you are so brave, i too suffer, mostly from bulimia. your videos are so raw, so great. maybe people can see that this isn't anyway to live, i think you are wonderful and i adore your videos

[junkmonk777]

[dojanglover]

[galaxycat3]

[PINKvarsity]

i think you are so brave, im anorexic and bolemic too but i cud never do that, you are so brave, and i hope you get better =]

[unperfectisback]

I find video blogging to be the best therapy and it's free lol

[cemtex1]

my friend i think your really brave and its very interesting to see this topic from a male perspective....subbing you return the faver please...maybe you will inspire me to do my own! good luck!

[theicanc]

I've wanted to make a channel like this for a long time... but have never quite known how to approach it. I know I'm in recovery but want to share my experiences you know? In fact you have motivated me to start the project once again :)

I agree that it is wonderful for a male to be doing these. It is an issue ignored by society for males. You are wonderful!!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

I love you Bel. Remember when we got calling cards to call each other? Thoese were fun days. Manny says hello, such a sweet bear. Your video inspired me to eat tonight, take it to the breath and relax.

[unperfectisback]

Eating disorders are torture not glamour wow I never could have said it better myself. Thats cool your out in your community doing art...

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Thank you, this saying came to me one day and I'm glad I could say it outloud here because it's really effective

[ParkerWashington]

[MyOwnStickFigure]

[qweengrape]
