Arggh. Splitting, pounding headache. Can barely write. I feel like fainting and bloated all at once. Friggin THIGHS. ARGGH. LOVE YOU ALL. P.S. Does anyone have any words of wisdom with people who incessantly tell you how skinny you are and insist on discusing and rehashing over and over how thin you are? ARGGHH! I appreciate their concern, I really do, but once you've said it, DROP IT ALREADY. HEHE!

tell them...thank u very much for noticing the side effects of my self starvation...since uve decided to keep mentioning my weight, its gonna weigh on my mind even more now so now i shall prolly just go ahead and skip dinner....but thanks for the comments! asshole
Ha, I second what Missy said!!!!!
Try not even acknowledging the comments. Pretend like they didn\'t even say it and just change the subject or start talking about something else without responding. I get so annoyed by that too. I hope you feel better!
Or you could comment on how that person is NOT skinny. Just a thought . . .
I wish I knew. I get this all the time and never know what to say, so usually I just say I know hoping they will just drop it. Usualy they don\'t so I say nothing. They usually stop after I\'ve stayed silent for a bit. This is not really good advice, sorry. When I find a response that works I\'ll let you know.
Thats annoying. But it actually makes me eat more. But thats just me.
Maybe say something like this.. \"thanks for the concern, I am working on recovery but in the meantime the best thing they can do to help is to not mention weight, body size and food to me. It could trigger me and neither of us want that.\"
Don\'t know if it will work but it\'s worth a try?
Hmm never had that happen to me, so I don\'t really have advice for that. I suppose we have different ED\'s so it\'s hard. I would just try not to let them get to you and focus on getting better. Sorry I couldn\'t be more help!
oh i hope your head feels better soon dear.. and thank you for your comment on my journal.. that is too sweet... i\'d be proud to be your mom :) i do hope your head feels better and will be a bit more like a mom when i say i know when i am really hungry or really using symptoms it hurts my head a lot... although sometimes just when i eat a lot it aches... as for the comments on being skinny... just once i would love love love to respond to someone who says \"how do you stay so thin\" by saying \"i starve myself and throw up\".. jsut to shut them up! i mean really- we don\'t comment on other people\'s bodies, why is it their business or place to comment on ours??? I am sorry you are dealing with it. i have no words of wisdom but can certainly relate...all i can say is what matters most is that we learn to love and care for our bodies..well, at least learn to care for them.. hopefully the loving will follow.. hang in there dear and take care of yourself as best as you can please.. thank you!
