hello everyone i'm new to this so here goes.
it makes me sick to the pit of my stomach when i read about people wanting to have an ed.
i have had one form of ed all my life for the past 6 years i have been batteling with anorexia it consumes my whole life, my mind and body never rest, it's a living #%@&! how could anyone want to live like that. there is no choice with ed's they just come at you no ones why and to set out to want one is so wrong , you give up so much miss so much of life. just last month my baby girl turned one and i couldn't watch her eat her first piece of cake thats gone i can never have that moment back so ask yourself this is wanting an ed worth missing all the magical things in life?
to all the people that have an ed if you ever need a friendly ear the i will listen i don't have the answers but i can be a friend.
take care my lovely's xx

I guess the people who say they want to have an ed are mis-informed about what a restrictive eating disorder feels like, and in any case most of them presumably already have an eating disorder, called "compulsive over-eating", which would be why they are struggling with their overweightness and obsession with food.
What they would like, presumably, is to loose their obsession with food rather than be obsessed with restriction

I think it's because they want to be thin, but they don't know exactly how terrible ed's actually are.

I don't know, but they can have mine (this is a terrible and perhaps insenstive joke, forgive me-- but sometimes that's the only way to cope).
No one who HAS an ed wants one, that's what I do know.

| I don't think that everyone who "wants" an ED is just some idiot who thinks it's cool. I think people get weight obsessed and they go to a very desperate place where anything is worth trying. When you're that weight obsessed and you are willing to try anything, seriously anything I consider that some form of ED.

The ones actually wanting an ED really dosen't know it is like to have one.
Yes, you lose weight. You truely do. You do however make sacrifices: Tooth decay, digestion issues, kidney stones, thyroid issues, having your mind around food and calories 24/7, lie to the ones you love, you sacrifice friends and family since you would rather avoid social gatherings and outings due to the fact those often er directly linked to FOOD. Just to mention a few.
I've been anywhere from 125 to 285 pounds as a 5"9, 21 year old guy, currently at 170, which i suppose is the happy medium i finally found. Yet, i think about every day that "#%@&!, I would like to drop those 30, I would have some crazy definition then!" and thinking about when I should launch my next 6 months of eating 500kcal pr day only consisting of lean meat and non-starchy vegs.
Sadly I haven't gotten any help, since i was technically normal weight when I finally decided to contact my doctor, who basically totally and utterly ignored my testamonies about water fasting for 60 days and whatnot.
Long story short: EDs are #%@&!, and wishing for one is just straight out provoking for the ones actually suffering from it. It's basically like wishing for cancer. Ok, drastic comparison, but you get the picture.

They want it because they dont see it as a disorder. Its just another fad diet that everyone is trying. Lets all be ANA buddies not eat for aa while drop 30 pounds and then go about life and normal. When you get tired of not eating or purging you can always just stop, Duh. XP

| People, especially young girls, should be well informed on the dangers of ed. They have to be educated that there are natural ways to keep their body healthy and to have the ideal weight. Depriving themselves from eating and indulging into ED are not the answers. They should learn from the experiences of those who suffered out from it. Last edited on 2 July 2010 01:36 pm by

i hate my ED, i dont understand people who want a few months of anorexia. its not like that! mine was never a conscious decision, the first time it was sparked off by divorce, i couldnt bear to eat, i couldnt cope with everything going on, the less i ate the more control i had over something, and then it because a game, to control everything i ate, to control my life with it. to hide it from the people around me. it was my only thing i had to hold on to. My teeth cracked, my hair fell out, my heart has an arrthmya, i had to have my non working gall bladder removed and developed hypoglycaemia..... i started eating again, until the next life battle was too hard to cope with and have spiralled back into the state i was i before. Im terrified of food, and if i dont have my safe food in the house i have to get them straight away. they have to be there. i have to be able to eat less of my safe food every day, Its crippling my head, controlling me. i hate myself, i hate anyone around me who eats, or who wants me to eat (not that they know, but suggesting lunch feels like they are secretly plotting against me!) i hate food. I stare at pictures of pizza or macdonalds on the internet and force myself to be sickened at the thought of it, force myself to hate food. i hate all food, even my safe foods, but my safe foods are my comfort.
ED is #%@&!. No one understands unless they have had one or have one. your hiding from the world. It is living #%@&!. Why anyone would want to feel like this is beyond me!
