  • when the girl was talking about feeling guilty for eating that little piece of food and the woman said "that's insane" I couldn't think of anything more wrong to tell someone with an eating disorder. You just don't judge like that.

  • That's such a misconception. I've been in treatment 3 times, I've had best friends and close friends with the same disorder as me, and not one of them that I have talked to have hated food or not enjoyed it. It's not about the food, it's about the feelings and fear. In fact, most anorexics I know, including myself, LOVE food. It's just terrifying. Fact: fear of food and fear of sex/intimacy often go hand in hand with people with eating disorders, anorexia especially.

  • @ittybittypiggy63 It Is Insane...Fucking Insane.She should go to leave In Africa.

  • @SorryToMaria There may be something to that. I have had body dismorphia since puberty, but I eat what I want and used to be so sexual. I wished that I would be anorexic or bulimic. I though because I could not do that I was "weak." Eeek! I am glad I never went through that. Still though, picking your own body apart every day is horrible.

  • I have body dismorphia, but without the bulimia or anorexia. It sucks.

  • @iloveIsrael990 new zealand. I'm from Australia so I know :)

  • god this is scary :( I feel the same way about 'breaking' my food daily allowance. Like I eat healthy and regularly, but if I eat something thats not on the list I freak out, even if its as something as insignificant as a fruit. OCD/Perfectionism whatever you would call it feeds eating disorders so much : (

  • @SorryToMaria I have had all of them, and it amazed me that you said that fear of sex/intimacy go hand in hand with it. Because I'm 21 and still have not gone into a relationship & when I get close to kissing someone I get freaked out. The idea of sex also freaks me out. Its like an epiphany you've given me, I've made the connection before, but it sounds so more real when someone else says it xx

  • Anorexia doesnt make a person a bad preson, or ugly. People cant hep being anorexic.

  • @KeelyKathleen Thats a proper harsh thing to say. You're a fucking dick!

  • Just checked out her Facebook page; she is doing wonderfully by the looks of it; has a boyfriend and is looking plumper and much healthier and vibrant, and has a new baby:)

  • @ittybittypiggy63 it is fucking insane. piss off
