sorry you are hurting right now babe.. hugs

i added this girl on facebook, and she has posted pictures of her when she was in hospital for anorexia, making it well known that she has anorexia and EVERY SINGLE DAY posts a status saying something triggering about her ED. also, she puts comments like eww this photo is so fat when she's obviously not.
it's not funny i tell you. i don't personally know this girl, but i get the feeling she looks for attention, and yet she doesn't realise how annoying it is. most anorexics would die, rather than let the world know about their disorder (unless on a help website).
hope you're okay, i know what you mean. xx

I'm sorry you are in a bad place and I do see what you mean but also keep in mind that we don't see ourselves as we are...and granted some off these people in some part of there mind may know they are too thin but they may still see fat....I look at myself and although I am beginning to see that I am no longer HUGE I still think I am fat and overweight...and no matter how many times someone tells me I am not it won't matter. I see both sides..you can't say anyone obviously knows they are too thin...remember we don't all see what everyone else sees...I wish I saw in the mirror what my husband sees when he looks at me and not the fat pig that I see looking back at me.

I think people are looking for someone to say "no you aren't". They see themselves as fat and some people tell them they aren't but they want more people to confirm that.

Also some going through recovery need the reassurance that they are not fat.

When I was severely underweight I needed the confirmation from others that I was so and I posted some photos online. I wasn't trying to "show off" I just needed to know that it wasn't only the people close to me trying to manipulate me into recovery.

Anyway, that's my thoughts.

I her what you are saying, totally.

but i havent noticed too many people that do that on here, maybe im just not looking

It really depends what their intention is. Some people really just want to show off how skinny they are while others truly think they are fat while having a distorted image. I only know one girl on here who does want to trigger and I de-friended her for that reason. That solved the problem.

i know u wrote this because u were mad and not in a good place in ur thoughts.....and i hope that u will come to terms with the fact that not everyone on here is thin and knows they r....honestly alot of those on here who are thinner than i am will sit there and say that i am smaller then them and vice versa....
they r not thin to spite u.....they r thin to spite themselves....if that makes any sense to u...
my guess is that since u r just coming out of treatment u r mad because u were forced to gain some weight and are pissed off that there are others on here who r being allowed to be left alone with their disorders and maintain their deathly low weights...
just know that those low low numbers come with a price...and too often that price is much much to high....

I'm sorry you feel like this.
though some people may say things for attention others may seriously feel that they are fat. people may put pictures of themselves on here because they may think they look fat so they want to show others how fat they are when really they are very skinny.
hope you feel better
-HUGS-

I see you point, as I have been triggered by pictures. But everyone is different, so everyone's motivation is probably different, too. If someone thin posts a lot of pics, it could be for any of the reasons people have given, and more. If the person is anorexic, she is probably obsessed with her body and wt, so it makes sense to take tons of pictures of something you're obsessed with, right?

I'm sorry this is triggering for you and sorry you're in a bad place right now. :(

Hugs,

I have no idea, but I am guilty as charged! I'm not underweight- I'm fairly average at 5 fott 6.5 and 144-145 pounds... and I call myself fat constantly! Worse off, I am CONSTANTLY looking at pictures of other women-- comparing myself to them-- and I always end up feeling like shit. Not cool. But I don't know what else to do.. I don't want to accept this body. I want to be runway hot, and fabulous... it just kills me. I have a giant ass, and UGH I need to stop. I'm just sad and completely insecure unless I'm a damn size four. (Currently a WHOPPING size eight... on a good day). SO FREAKING ANGRY AND SAD. DAMN.
