Ms. Perry has an eating disorder herself if you think about it.

@crazythinspo25 Yes I would care if my grandmother was overweight because I want her to live as long as possible without dying from diabetes or a heart attack/stroke from high blood pressure.

[Spongebob6284]

im not anorexic or anything but sometimes i skip lunch so i can eat a huge huge supper :) yummy

i snack a ton tho so skipping lunch is almost nothing.

i exercise alot so im niether( in my opinion, which i think counts) skinny nor fat but perfect all the same.

@Chanikanist I am not a doctor so i cant answer like one but i think you are in the start into developing an eatinng disorter in the nearest future.! Please ask for help from a psychologist. The emotions of guilt and being measerable has nothing to do with the food . Its about how you feed your soul not the body..your body is fine.! Anorexics don't wake up one morning and stop eating,there is a hidden hole procces on this disorter,thats why its so dangerous,its like a a trap.

@kevin0323 LOL 

[Katieluvsmilk15]

@Chanikanist yes it very well could be. anorexics dont start out stick thin. go and get help right away. it will be better than wasting years of your life only to feel like an idiot and get help anyways.

I have been struggling with anorexia for quite a while now and it is very hard to cope with but I see a specialist now and then and speaking to someone professionally actually helps me so if you have the same problem dont just keep it to yourself I did for a while but I felt like I was with war with myself speak to someone who you know will care

It will help you get along knowing someone is there to help

@bobble7 Remember eating disorters is not about food,something alse is going on inside you and thats why you need a psychologist dont try on your own without help. You have issiues you have to solve .

P.S Love handles are sexy men are dieing for them ,thats why are called love handles. 300 calories supposed to be in almost a meal not in you all day menu

You think you are happy but actualy your body and brain suffers

Accomplished you become overcoming anorexia

Go to a doctor please .

[naserian100]

@bobble7 A good start is that you recognise that you may have it. Go to a doctor first to measure your percentece of fat on your body ,if its lower that 18% its unhealthy the normal is 18%-21 depending of your age and height. Dont forget that we need to consume daily 1000-1200 calories for our organism just to function. Our brain needs more than half of this energy.We dont feed only our body but our brain as well. Ask a dietologist to give you a diet and also start seeing a psychologist.
