people who ask:
"i think i am really fat. everyone has been hinting at it lately. i want to go ANOREXIC!! i need to lose weight."
these questions bother me first because a) people who are doing this are trivializing a mental illness that has killed 1 in 5 of its victims. it gives a bad rep to a very sad disorder and tells society that anorexia is a diet or a desperate attempt to look like a stick, when in actuality, the REAL disease is caused by abuse or rape or something so "wrong" in a persons life they feel they are beneath eating...
and b) it is unreasonable. i appologize but you cannot go from being oveweight to weighing 60lbs and relying a heart monitor, "overnight"...?
