| Re: Have you ever dealt with someone who has an eating disorder?
Screw eating disorders, I love food. It's fantastic. There will be days I don't eat anything at all, but it has nothing to do with trying to lose weight or prove anything. It boils down to the fact I absolutly hate going grocery shopping, and most of the time can't actually be bothered to make food.
I have not gone grocery shopping in about 2 weeks, and am pretty much out of food. So today I had half a sleeve of crackers for dinner, but couldn't actually be bothered to like... make a sandwich. I'm so pathetic.
I have had friends with body image issues, but no real eating disorders to the point it became an issue that I had to step in. It's tough, because so much of the time the girls are just screaming for approval, and that approval generally has to come from a guy. No matter how many times I tell a girl she is skinny, it means nothing untill a particular boy tells her she is pretty. And at that point it could go either way. Some girls will be satified with that, but some girls will take it as a sign to go further and eat less. It's tough. I used to have some body image issues, and still freak out if a dress makes me look big or something along those lines, but it is generally just something I have come to accept. I have the exact same body as every single woman on my mom's side of the family, except I am the only one that didn't get a chest. Frustrating yes, but not something I can really do anything about. Except wear padded bras when I feel like being hit on by strangers at a bar. |
