About Me

You can check out my personal page here- my personal MySpace page
For a wile I had my profile hidden. Well, this is me. This is who I am. If you do like it or you want to change me- FUCK OFF!. Having an ED isnt pretty, its not glamorous, but its who I am. I accept who I am (so do my BFF and my BF), ED and all. Either learn to accept it too or let me be.
I was diagnosed with COE (compulsive over eating) when I was 14 and my mom took me to a fat camp for teens. I was so discussed with myself I vowed to never be that fat again. I became anorexic knowing that if I ate something I would eat everything so instead I chose to eat nothing. Two years ago after I had my son I realized I was back to being that huge fat ass who I hated. I was 162 lbs. and a size 16. I hated myself for letting my COE back into my life. I stopped eating and started with my ana again. I am now 97 lbs. and a size 2. My first goal is to reach 95lbs. like I was in high school. My final goal is to be 82 lbs. I am pro-ana and feel that it is my choice to be this way. I know i'm sick. I also know I have a problem, I don't care. It's not media, so don't blame starvation imagery in the media. I am the way I am because I like it. I don?t want to change or get help.
You ask why we can't just be ok with our bodies they way they are. Well part of what we are is anorexic. So it's ok to except yourself fat but not ok to except that you have anorexia? It's that a double standard? I have come to except that I have a problem, and I'm not normal. But I'm ok with that. And I seek to find others that can except that they also have an eating disorder. No body wants to be around people who are going to tell you that you are sick or wrong for what you are doing. As humans we will always seek out those who are like us. We see that we are killing our selves but just like people who smoke and know they are killing themselves we cant stop. Its an addiction and an obsession that goes beyond words. I started just waning to not be a size 16, maybe more like a 9. Weight was never a part of it. Now I fit into girl size clothes and seek to be 82 lbs. I weigh myself several times a day. I never wanted to be like this. I would rather be able to go back to being fat and happy then thin and miserable. But I also know that I will never be able to be fat and happy. And even at 95 lbs I felt fat. I think of food and hunger and control every second of every day. I cant just eat. If I eat I feel full and fat and I want to be empty and thin. Then I spend 30mins sticking my toothbrush down my throat to feel empty again. I come on these gropes because they make me feel like I am not different and that there are others like me. No one really wants to be alone in the end.

Sad AnorexicLife hurts, and you know it. You're depressed and
maybe suicidal sometimes. Your depression and
wistfullness are probably linked to
self-hatred. For you, physical suffering like
hunger pangs and headaches represents the
emotional pain you're in. You wish you were
healthy, but by now it doesn't seem possible.

What Kind of Anorexic Are You?

Angry AnorexicYou're well aware of how stupid anorexia is, but
you don't give a shit. Developing the diasease
makes you feel like you're getting back at all
the stupid people who want you to be healthy.
You're feircely jealous of all those smaller
than you and hate yourself with a passion. You
often find yourself enjoying the pain that
comes with starving.

What Kind of Anorexic Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Despite the very real epidemic of obesity in North America, the media saturates us with stories about "unrealistic body expectations" and whether or not the latest Hollywood starlet is "too thin". From my perspective, these stories are frankly ridiculous--for every one person who is "too thin", there are literally thousands who are much too fat.
Just once, instead of a story about whether or not Kate Moss is anorexic, I would love to see a piece about the increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, stroke and heart attack that Rosie O'Donnell is subject to by virtue of being overweight. IT IS NOT OK TO BE FAT! We should be a little less mindful of people's self esteem in this regard and a little more mindful of their health.

Humans were not meant to eat three times a day. We were not meant to menstruate every month. Humans weren't meant to be fat. I find it gross that we have become a society where I must run on a stationary object to get my daily-required amount of exercise (which is much to low). I am anorexia, yet I still eat more then most people in third world countries. AMERICA IS TOO FAT! Ads show women who are thin because that is what people want to look at. We don't want to see fat roles dripping out of woman's shirts because we know it is unhealthy. Put down you Big Mac and run your fat ass around the McDonalds a few times. We have become so lazy that we can't even get out of our cars to walk into the fast food restaurant instead we must sit in the drive through. I have had enough. I will not be fat anymore. I will be the person I was meant to be. I WILL BE THIN!

I would much rather die being too thin then live a thousand years being fat.
How many people do you know who live to be 100 fat?

1,000 females between 16-25 die a year world wide from anorexia
366,000 females die a year just in America from heart disease

I'd like to meet:

More people with EDs. I'm not looking to recover so save your breath with that one. If you would like to be a fasting buddies or just want to talk about EDs contact me.

I CHOSE TO BE ONE OF THE 8!
