I hate to go out eating because I can't control the amount of calories/fat/carbs I get. <br /><br />I read and loved wintergirls. There were so many beautiful passages and I think everybody should read.

I'm not underweight anymore, and due to meds I have to take I haven't thrown up in months. I actually weight, well, a lot in my terms, but a little over the ideal, I suppose. So obviously people assume I'm cured. That years of thinking that I am not enough and never will be, years of thinking that if only I lost a few more pounds I might finally be satisfied with myself, despite the fact that I knew that these were superficial thoughts, would just go away simply because I don't weight 40kgs anymore. <br /><br />But the real problem, the thing at least I really suffered from, about Eating Disorders isn't that you might die from throwing up blood or starving, it's that you can't stop thinking your default ED-lines. No matter how much you weight, if the thought of your weight is becoming obsessive, you are in fact suffering from an Eating Disorder, and anyone who tells you something else can go screw themselves.<br /><br />My two cents. I'm not saying everyone who's suffering from Bulimia or Anorexia or Binge Eating or whatever thinks like I do, but I think it's something people often enough forget about.<br /><br />Eating Disorders are mental disorders. So even though they inflict harm on our bodies, the real problem is and will forever be the things we think, and the fact that it's fucking hard not to think them.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198314178150554485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674771134016350625.post-40322464667416571652012-04-05T03:04:16.943-04:002012-04-05T03:04:16.943-04:00I used to think that.
