And if you don't believe in him than no one could ever judge you. It is -NO- person's place to decide what's good or evil. I'm ED-NOS, I've watched it destroy people and I've seen good in it as well. We are all our own person, and who the eff is anyone to judge? You're not perfect. Get over it. Just live healthy and do what you can to make yourself happy without intentionally harming another. =^^= To: Rose -

There is no getting past it. It gives a sufferer both shame and pride. (for me at least) I will probably never completely recover because I can't remember a time when I didn't notice what was going into my mouth. I can remember exact meals from ten years ago, and I can remember where I had them. This is awful. My guy friends think I'm crazy. They don't know the full extent, but I can only imagine their reaction. They would think I was f---ing out of my mind. I have been anorexic since i was 13.

I started a job that required a lot of physical work and began to lose weight. I started skipping meals just because I was busy with school, work, and keeping up a social life. Suddenly I had lost 40 pounds. I started skipping meals on purpose. I skipped breakfast, drank a slimfast for lunch, and ate one scrambled egg for dinner. I lost another 20 pounds and graduated college a healthy 120 pounds. The problem was that I had a completely distorted idea of what was healthy. 5'5" and120 pounds is totally healthy, but I had also been severely restricting what I ate. As soon as I started eating a normal 3 meals a day, I gained weight again. I still struggle with this. There are days when I eat 3 healthy meals and feel fine, and then there are days when I convince myself I'm not hungry and can easily live off what I've eaten in the past week. Do I wish I was 110? Yes. Do I have an eating disorder? Not clinically. Every 25 year old I know (I live in D.C. and work with other engineers, I am not bouncing around the social scene of L.A.) is similarly concerned about eating and gaining weight. I don't know if you consider that a stupid ass dieting trick, but I'm a hell of a lot happier now than I was at 180. As a junior in college I weighed 180 pounds at 5′5″.
