Location: New York City | I know that I am anorexic. I have been for years. I have gone through God knows...so much. Fasting almost feeling like forever. Working at a DOUGHNUT shop and not touching a thing. Very difficult and very emotional. I always wondered if I could turn around, and be comfortable with my body...if I could just say "Well, I look good today." I can't. Taking substances to control my appetite...just horrid. I am 125 now and I am five foot two. I used to be 94 LBS...I was happy, and a LITTLE comfortable. But situations have changed in my life, and it has effected me to the max. But to have people tell YOU that you are at a good weight...when they are taller, and lighter then you is just a bunch of garbage. I don't want to hear that. |

Your the person that I made reference to my younger sister about.
I still think that a person your height and weight looks fine. Because when I think of that height/weight ratio, I think of my sister..
And when I think of my sister.. I think she is perfect the way she is.
I know I look like crap now, and that I look better when I am heavier.
Its not even me being hypocritical. (because I am aware)
I just have an issue with the scale, and food, etc.
NVM.. I was going to make reference to another user and something she said..
But I won't.
I'm sure you look just fine the way you are, and people around you tell you that you do if you ask them. |

| I don't think I've posted on this thread yet, but there's nothing I can say that hasn't been mentioned already. I can say how much I hate the wannabes but will they listen? No.
I posted this in another forum, I think it applies here:
"I HATE people who say they love to be "ana." I HATE when they say they're proud of it. Why, someone please enlighten me, why would you be proud of something so degrading? When you lose bladder function and wet the bed is that something to be proud of? When you're growing hair in all the wrong places and losing them in the right ones is that glamorous? When your family and friends and fiancé leave you,does that make you feel good about yourself?
[Storm of profanity.]

[Yet even more.]"

Location: Antlers, OK | Ok, I know I am new here, so I don't blame any of you if you don't like what I'm saying. But - isn't *wanting* to be Ana, the disease already started. I mean, that's how I ended up disordered...I already was and didn't realize it until I set out *looking* for Ana. Because I was tired of eating healthy and exercising 6 hours a day and it still not being enough. Talk about a slap in the face. So although I refuse to pass out tips/tricks as well, I will support the "dieters" that end up here - because if they end up here, more than likely they were already on their way. |

Please, let all new members read it!!!!!!! Anorexia is not a joke. Bulimia is not a joke. It's not about losing weight. It's not about looking good. It's not something to be proud of. So if you just want to shed some pounds, if you just want to look better, please go to your doctor and ask him/her how to do it the right healthy way!
Anorexia is a disease not a fashion, a whim or a simple desire for looking good!
To have an ED is to live in hell believe it!

Location: Minnesota (USA) | I know I am an "AnaMia" (I use that term b/c I don't know how to spell out the proper one, yeah I know...) but I don't look like it. I look normal but the way I eat is far from normal. I binge, binge/purge, and fast. Who does that??? I feel shame and embarrassment from it everyday ,and the fact that someone would want this, in my opinion, means they have issues. |

| I think you need to think about what the word "anorexic" means to them, for many it would probably just be thin. And theres nothing wrong with wanting to be thin.
I also think you should give them some credit; just because they visit af and see how misserable we are, doesnt mean that they will become anorexics.
Im definitely not a full-blown ana, but food and weight still occupies a lot of my thoughts. I search after those tips sometimes, stuff to make your metabolism rise and ways to forget that you are hungry. |

Location: ATX, I wanna be skin, bones and stilettos.. | Hey guys! I havent read all the post in this topic, about 7 pages but I guess I am confused. I mean I know this is suposed to be for people whos "lives have been perconally touched by anaorexica" however you guys are so awesome and suportive and I guess even though I don't belong I like it here is what I am trying to say. I mean the reason I never joined mia friends is because I was and still am battling everyday to kick the mia and I didn't want to go somewhere triggering.
I would be EDNOS restrict, binge, purge, fast, fail, kill myself in the gym and do it all over again next week. Im not Ana and I don't know, Im a wannabe I guess.
What I am trying to ask is should I leave, like which ones of us should get out?

I totally agree... you couldn't have put it better.
It's really sad to see young girls TRYING to be Ana and forgetting that anorexia is a DISEASE, and once you're in, its REALLY REALLY REALLY hard to get out! So I hope -if there's any wanna-be here- stop doing it and try healthier ways to get thinner. :) |
