I hate when people talk about weight gain, needing to lose weight, and what they eat. It triggers me to no end. When I was working I used to tell the co workers that I trusted that I used to have anorexia, so they pretty much knew not to talk about that kinda stuff in front of me. But I\'m sure you don\'t wanna tell your co workers you have anorexia. It\'s easier to tell people when you are no longer suffering from it because they can\'t really judge you since it was in the past.
I never know what to say either when people ask me how I stay so thin. I just always say \"I don\'t know\" even though I know quite well how I stay so thin. I really hate when people tell me how good I look because I\'m thin. Another major trigger for me.
PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT. Pleast do not listen to what they have to say. Take it with a grain of salt... (No pun intended.)I am glad that you got out of your past sucky jobs. Wow. Those sounded just awful! I am sorry you had to experience that. In terms of your doctor, you cant see him anymore because you have an illness? That sounds strange to me...
i worked at Fashion Bug and my boss and coworkers would ask me if people ever asked me if i ate and i said no. Then they\'d say that they ate a lot when they go home at night and that\'s why they can\'t lose weight. I said I snack a lot at night too to which they said I had nothing to worry about.
Forward less than two months and I\'m in in patient. People just are \"used\" to seeing skinny people and this anti-obesity thing is just driving people to ED\'s and it\'s easier to hide, IMO.
Sorry it was so triggering.
bahhh!
i have that problem too!when ppl start talking about any type of food or weight or w.e. i get all uncomfy.and then it mkes me wanna go puke upp everythingg..even if i dont have anything in my stomach!
Yeah normal people always want to know our secrets to weight loss. Just pick up any magazine and you\'ll see \"secrets of the stars\" etc. If we ate normally and exercised regularly then we would have some great advice, unfortunately as anorexics it just sends us into a tail spin. I hope your friend gets the job. XOXOXO
