BULL there is such a things as a "fat" anorexic.

[AnaMiaSucks]

It's not about a "badge of honour" it's about support and recovery by relating to people with the same psychological disorder. By saying "You're too fat to be anorexic" and segregating like that you're trying to take away a support system that can be very helpful in recovery. Because like it or not there is more help, resources, and support for those diagnosed "Anorexic" then those diagnosed "EDNOS".

Ur soooo cute..................  haha NOT

[merpandama101]

I know how it feels.

For, about, five years I struggled with compulsive overeating disorder and was very overweight. I've been anorexic and bulimic for a year now and I've lost a dramatic amount of weight, but I'm still not underweight. It sucks because when I first started, I tried to get help, but couldn't because I wasn't small enough and once you've been told something like that, it just completley crushes you. Now I HAVE to get that small.

in order to get treatment for it you need a 17 bmi. you can still have the mental illness.

[mizzteeek]

i could understand a fat bullemic

[oishitomoro]

How can you be a fat anorexic... You obviously are eating pretty well in order to be overweight.

[starhannahpc]

There is also 'clinical anorexia'.

I was initially diagnosed with this as i fit all guidelines and had lost a dramatic amount of weight 40 kg, but was not quite "anorexic"

They game me this diagnosis because it made it easier for the nurses to have a general idea of what i am.

Im now ednos because i am not in the bmi range and i have both anorexic and bulimic tendancies.

[faete31]

I should also mention.. I used to have anorexia, went down to a 16 bmi. Right now, I have EDNOS, and I am neither ashamed, NOR have I ever had trouble finding support. I just think that it's really, really rediculous that people WANT to be called anorexic at all. Why fight for a title like that? I am personally PROUD of being EDNOS because it means I have a lot less physical health problems. (Although, I still do have lingering stuff going on...)

[faete31]

Ok, fine. Tell yourself what you like, but I STILL think it is silly to fight for a diagnosis you don't have...

[babyduck198718]

I became anorexic/ Bulimic in high school. I still struggle with it. And you couldn't tell it now, but I still have points where I don't eat for days or weeks and/or purge if I do. I know it's not good for me...BUT I don't like being a pig! :(

Oh and who ever has been taking laxatives after over eating does nothing b/c food stays in your upper intestines for a long time and laxatives wont speed the process of the fecal matter going into the lower intestine.
