dont be stupid. being anorexic causes more damage

2006-10-03 12:50:57 · answer #1 · answered by Your_Star 6 · 1 0

First of call, don't wish to be anorexic. I have struggled with being overweight most of my life. When I was younger I used to say I wish I could anorexic. I say, be careful what you wish for, you may bet it. It was horrible and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

I answered a question earlier about how eating disorders affect the body and will include that. Please read it carefully. I wish I would have never gone down that path.

Having suffered from anorexia/bulimia many years ago, I can tell your first hand.

1. You are at risk for osteoporosis (This still hasn't happened and I hope it doesn't in the future.

2. Your teeth become so weak which makes your prone to lots of problems to fix. I've had numerous cavities and still seem to get them a lot even though I take care of my teeth now. I've also had numerous root canals and have actually had teeth break off and have had to have some pulled. Now I have to wear a partial and eventually get a bridge. It has and will continue to cost me a ton of money for many years to come.

3. If you stop getting your period because of being underweight, your female reproductive organs can start to shrivel up from being dormant (ie. Ovaries not releasing eggs) If you decide in the future to have children, it may be hard for you.

4. You will grow lots of fine hair all over your body.

5. If you are taking any laxatives you can get numerous kidney infections which is bad for your kidneys. My kidneys still ache sometimes and I always still to this day have to pee a lot.

6. It messes with your heart.

7. You can also overdose on laxatives which can have severe it not fatal effects. I did this once and almost died. I was in ICU for a while because of it too.

8. You screw up your metabolism which you will regret.

9. Your mind is not clear because your body is not getting its nutritional and caloric needs met.

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I remember from my experience.

I don't think being an anorexic is a choice you make but a condition. If you were truly anorexic you couldn't be hungry.
Besides who really likes the look of walking death!

Try this little mantra

To hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep (focus line, but remember the counterpart)
My hunger is noble, but my pain is driven deep (Drawbacks...consequences...yes it can cause quite a bit of pain in your life...)

...if you're really wanting to eat like an anorexic, you're going to have to at least get used to being hungry. Drink lots of water, eat mostly fruit and vegetables, and stay active. There are also some natural appetite suppressants (claims and my own experience) like green tea (there are pills if you can't stand drinking it).

I don't know whether you're being literal or using the word jokingly. I like a little anorexia in my life, as well. I really think it's possible to make a conscious choice to do something and go through with it. I think everything someone does is a choice, so this whole issue of 'condition' and 'disease' and 'no one would choose to be that way' really annoys me. I'm at least holding myself responsible for the possible sabotage of my own health.

Just make sure you really want to go through with the drawbacks. I thought on this for years before I finally decided...(I'm also a bit weird).

Hahahahahahah. Anorexia is a disorder not a fad. Even if you force yourself not to eat you still wont be considered an anorexic. Its something that happens to people that are sick and they don't even know they have a problem. More anorexics can't even admit that they are anorexic! So yea, you will never be an anorexic even if you don't eat... you'll be a stupid poser.

SN's Guide to Anorexia:

1. Realize you are a fat pig.
2. Think you need to lose a few (30-40) pounds.
3. Find something called a resturaunt.
4. Order something that you see sizzling on a plate passing by.
5. When item comes, pick up the strange 4 pronged utensil.
6. Stick utensil into object on plate.
7. Place object on end of utensil into oral orifice.
8. Move lower jaw in an up-and-down fashion.
9. Repeat steps 3-8 until object is gone.
10. Pay bill.

All you have to do is repeat these steps every time your stomach growls. Savvy?

It is very hard. I am not anorexic but I have a very bad body image and try to eat only minimally. It is very hard, especially around people. I eat alot of pretzels or drink alot of diet drinks, chew gum. You really don't want to be anorexic but I just watch what I eat.

when i see anorexic people, i think that it is gross and not just because it isn't healthy, but because they look discusting. even though this sounds weird, fat looks better then super skinny and becides, you will regret it later when you want to have kids and you cant because your organs got messed up. you will spend so much money on doctor appointments because you will get sick all of the time because your immuine system is really week when you dont eat. just please dont do it

well for most poeple feel really hungry for 2 to 4 days without eating anything then after that the sensation of *hunger* usually disappears pretty much completly so just go 2 or 3 days witout eating anything. you will feel like **** tho and you will damage your muscles and organs by doing that & look like **** on top of it
