Well, ok. You'll eat when you are hungry enough, or wind up being force feed in the hospital involuntarily, or die due to lack of eating regardless how you feel.

ULTIMATELY, the choice is yours.

Choose wisely please.

I wish it was that simple, I wish I could just choose to eat.

that's just it, you can just choose to eat. Here's the thing. It might not feel good. It might go against everything you are thinking and feeling at this moment. But you can still choose to eat logically knowing that despite your feelings it is what is best for you at this moment. The choice is yours, the power in choosing is all yours. Take it!

Unfortunately eating disorders do not work that way.

ED (eating disorders) are NOT a choice!

No, you didn't choose to have ED, but recovery IS a choice. You can choose recovery. And I'm not saying I have perfected recovery. I slipped up today, but the idea is to choose recovery every single day and do your best to make decisions that support recovery like seeing a therapist, eating nutritious meals, seeking support here, etc...

Even recovery can be out of my hands and in the ones of ED.

When Food seems like a foreign Object I couldn't possibly put in my Mouth much less Consume, I at least try to choke down a Protein shake. I Force myself just to keep some Weight on.

Is that an Option?

I ate some, but I need to loose weight as I am obese.

Fluterify? I also HAVE A EATING DISORDER.... You CAN decided to eat. I have forced myself to eat before and still do at times. And sometimes I still fall back into my old ways.

Anyway, if you insist on carrying on, I'm just going to reverse the acceptance of your friend request.

It's ENOUGH.

Have a good night.

Btw, I was at a time laid up in a hospital being feed through a feeding tube.

Actually since you are calling people ignorant & I can't seem to get it off my mind, I'll just unfriend you now.

As stated above, TO GET BETTER *WE* must do what our minds are telling us not to do, IF we want to get better.

To even think clearly your body NEEDS nutrition.

I do it, others do it, and YOU CAN do it, IF you so choose to get better.
Your eating disorder is no different then ours.

Hopefully others will stay by your side, *I* can't not, any longer.

Good God, Good luck!

Why even post these since you go against anything and everything said and/or suggested?

You ARE going to push EVERYONE away eventually, if you continue the way that you have been.

Oh, one last thing.

A Food Disorder is NOT a game. It's a serious matter, it causes major health issues at the least.

I have a few. Including a shrank stomach due to all the abuse I put myself through, I even struggle to make myself eat on most days due to not even feeling hungry, nor wanting to eat but I do know that I MUST eat, or get locked up, I slip sometimes and not eat for a few days but nobody can live like that and walk freely. I also have restroom issues and my food disorder took part in me being severely anemic.

You don't need to get as insane as I got and did the damage that I have before accepting recovery.

Lexi, I tried to send you a few hugs but because my friend's request to you is still pending this "new format" won't let me.
I very much respect what you said above and agree.

Also, OP (and this is the last comment I am making on THIS thread) I resent the fact that you make comments indicating that you are an authority on the subjects of EDs - "EDs (eating disorders - ummmmmmmm, I think we know the lingo by now) are NOT a choice" and referring to people as "ignorant". It is obvious by YOUR comments on here that you are the one who could benefit from learning a thing or two about EDs. I have struggled with EDs my entire 40 years. You don't have the monopoly on suffering OR knowledge so why don't you try being here as a SUPPORTIVE member of this group and not one that is combative and resistant to advice? You may garner more support yourself that way.
Just my two cents. Take it or leave it.
