Ok so Im coming out with it. A couple of you who know me know that I am gay. Im not ashamed of it anything I just dont like dealing with negative comments from small minded people, thats why Im not open with it. Theres just something that bothers me and Im not sure why but I feel that because Im gay I shouldnt have anorexia. I dont know why I feel this way though. I guess maybe its because I dont know or have ever head of a lesbian with an eating disorder. Were suppose to be strong and proud and here I am week and ashamed. I just felt like I had to get this out in open and out of me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Don't feel like that E.D's can come to anyone in all shapes and sizes, straight or gay..
Maybe it could be because yeah some lesbians can be strong etc BUT females also know and care ALOT more about appearence then males do??
I am not sure that is just my theory??

that you are passing judgment on yourslef, on behalf of others.
does that make sence?
if you assume people are going to be mean to you, then maybe you are thinking it even before they do.
one of my very close friends is gay, and she didnt tell us about her long term girlfriend for weeks and weeks, becasue she didnt want the fuss made. but when she told us, noone even battered an eyelid.
most of us dont think of you any different for having an ed, your sexuality, hair colour, fave music.......
so dont think you have to be something you are not, if you have an ed then thats you. dont be ashamed of it.
does that make sense??? i hope so...
