Yes, I have... but that's because ED tells us we need to! Fight him, stand up to him, and say "I'm going out with my friends and I'm going to have FUN!" Think of all the fun things we miss out on with our friends and family because we don't want to go out and eat, or we don't want to wear a bathsuit, or whatever it is... we miss out on SOOO much! And we can't ever get those moments back! Don't let this one pass you by. Go have fun with your friends!

If your regard ED as a long term friend it will stop you from doing lots of enjoyable things, your choices will be limited, thats why its not your friend!

yes!!!! I skipped my college classes today for the same reason. Sometimes Ed is just too strong to ignore. But that's why we all need to stick together. We need to find strength in numbers and fight this! I hope you can find it in yourself to go out with your friends tonight and have a good time. What you need to do is tell yourself over and over again how beautiful you are. Even if you don't believe it, just keep saying it.

yes always babes not alone on that one hunny

i always get like that - even though i am underweight i will get these times where i just see and feel fat and horrible so i pull out big baggy clothes and get very anxious and almost paranoid that people are watching thinking im fat or have put on weight its an awful irration fear - do you want to know something the other day i went to these waterfalls with a bunch of girlfriend who are all skinny and beautiful and i was having a "fat" day and didnt want to get in my togs i was worried they all thought i was bigger than them etc etc and when i saw pics yesturday of all of us i saw im just as thin as them if not thinner than some and it really shocked me when i thought of how i felt and what i thought i looked like that day! dont worryy about what everybody else looks like be proud to be you - you are beautiful and deserve to have a good night with your friends dont let ED ruin that for you :)
