What's an EA? If you meant eating disorder, I hope you get some help immediately. See a therapist ASAP, because obsessing about your weight and controlling your food intake as a coping mechanism for your emotions will only serve to kill you or disable you in the longrun.

I have to agree. You wouldn't wish this on anyone. its a illness that destroys.... not just you but those who love and care for you... and thats horrible to see. take care

Wow, that is seriously messed up. Get help now! You know people lose weight when they have chemotherapy. Did you want to sign up for cancer to? Why strive for an illness that kills? I hope you see how this kind of post does not help anyone here. It hurts us. Get the help you need please.

LSU, that is the exact analogy I use when people say they "wish they could have an eating disorder" or "pray to catch anorexia." Argggggggh.

Sounds like you allready have one: compulsive over-eating. Getting another one isn't going to help, because you'll just end up swinging between the two. You have to find a way of managing your emotions without using food. It's tough for you at the moment (I read your profile)but hang in there, and get some proper help. I hate my body too, but I'm not overweight.Call me lucky if you want, but I don't feel it.
Take care of yourself. Hugs.

Sorry what is an EA - you DON'T need an eating disorder. Go and see a nutritionist. This is not the answer. Do not come and ask for this.

im sorry if this sounds harsh, but how can u say that? you obviously know nothing about eating disorders and before you start wishing you have one you should know the effects they have, my life is ruined because of my eating disorder, it controls your whole life and it killed my aunty, this has really upset me hearing someone say they want an eating disorder to lose weight!! ED's arent all about losing weight, its control and another way of dealing with problems!!!!!

I really hope you are not here to ask for tips on how to get an eating disorder. This is NOT the place for that. This is a community for those recovering or attempting to recover from various eating disorders. If you want advice on compulsive overeating or binge eating disorder, then we can help you...if you are her to attempt to get tips on becoming anorexic or bulimic, then leave. Sorry for being so blunt, but these kinds of posts are unhealthy for many of our members. An ED is not a joke..it's not a temporary diet..it's not a nice lifestyle. It's a life long battle that makes you suffer daily...makes you feel like you are worthless...takes away your control over your life and most of all...it makes you VERY VERY ill, and could take your life. Please think this over. As I said before, we will be glad to help you if you want help. But we will never gets you tips on killing yourself.

i'm sorry but you have to be kidding me.

a ton of girls are wishing to be out of that hell hole all you can think of is "oh i need to lose about 5 lbs"

just stop being lazy and live an active life. i would never wish an eating disorder upon another after what i've had to go through

I can honestly say I know how you feel. I remember having thoughts like those before I actually did develop my ED. These definately are unhealthy thoughts. Even now I think you could benefit from therapy if you aren't already doing so. Maybe you can work on improving your self-esteem before you get too caught up in this way of thinking. It's been said many times, but ED's are horrible and I would never wish it upon anyone else.

This community has an emphasis on recovery, not only physical but mental and emotional as well. We are trying to find out how to live our lives without the control of our eating disorder, and how do deal with the underlying issues. I suggest that is where to start, to find out what fears you are trying to mask with food. Good luck. XOXO

for starters i ment ED as in eating disorder
my bad sorry i cant type

i want everyone to know i never wanted tips on how to kill myself or how to accomplish this

i actually have to do a research paper on it which is why i posted another one of these asking for info

i already had one
i just wish i never got over it

and to say i dont know anything about eating disorders is wrong...in short terms
i had one i know the effects but it was just a thought

i wish i was perfect
i need to be perfect
i have to be basically

also to say that i dont live an active life is also false
the people on here should quit assuming about people and actually get their facts straight

i have already had to go through this so sorry for the offense
i didnt mean to make anyone upset
but apperently instead of asking about the post of wondering more
you judge
its okay i dont mind

loves

It sounds like you are still not over your old one. The ideas of ED are still there. Try to get help for the negative thinking...because honestly...I would kill to look like you!

I'm so sorry...but I just started cracking up...

What are the MLA rules for citing someone's screen-name in a research paper?

According to various sources, "Eating disorders are saddening" and they will "ruin [your] life." (EMOGIRLWANNADIE2)



I'm not even trying to be a bitch, I just seriously find that hilarious.


On the actual serious side:

College is a major time of ED recurrence. I suggest you utilize the counseling services on campus next year if you aren't in therapy already.

And...I hope your research paper isn't completely based on anecdotal evidence. Cause that is a surefire way to lower your grade.

"also to say that i dont live an active life is also false

Hey, I'm quoting again! Just to illustrate my point. You seem truly mixed up to me. Don't attack us for making assumptions when you put up a general post like you did. It's inevitable that we will judge when confronted with a post like yours, and it's inevitable you will hear stuff you don't like. Everything you've written here screams perfectionist to me, and you know that's bad for you, don't you? Can you find someone to talk to about your feelings, to help you straighten them out? Not necessarily a counsellor.
The most important thing is not to slip back into old ED days, because like you said it's hell.
I hope you find some peace of mind and ease up with the pressure you put on yourself. As a reformed perfectionist I have to say we're hell to live with:)
