Why do people think they can just "go" anorexic?!
Question: Seriously. Do you really think you can just get a disorder to lose some weight? That's like saying "I'm going to get diabetes today" or "I don't feel like going to school.. I'm going to catch lupus."
So why do you think you get just 'get it' on purpose?

Um, Miss, I'm assuming that you meant this question in a sarcastic manner? Like, as in, "How can people be so stupid?" Well, we're not stupid. Like me, I turned Asian yesterday. Tomorrow, I might consider turning gay. So, if you don't think it's my right to turn anorexic at the flip of a switch, I say, "Back OFF, honey!" You need to stop stomping on people's rights and get a life!
(Curious to see how many people will respond negatively to what I just wrote...I hope it was clear I was being sarcastic! Yeah, people really do believe anorexia is not a real disorder, and that's just sad.)
Oh, I need to comment on what some people wrote--I DO agree that it is a choice, to some degree. I think that this is that hairy crossroads that everyone seems to come to--is it a matter of choice, or social pressures? People always seem to think it's one or the other. What ever happened to both? I mean, EVERYONE has things they have a hard time controlling in their own habits. Some people smoke, some people jerk off too much. Everyone has a problem. But some people have a harder time with certain things. Part of that is their own personalities, and part of that is outside influences shaping their attitudes.
I think you're upset that people seem to think lightly of the subject. I'm sorry that you feel that way. I feel the same way. What can you do? Post a question on Y!Answers, I guess....
lmao.
Maybe they're really determined.
peer presure?
Anorexia can certainly be self-imposed.
I am anorexic to loose weight. One day I just said, i am really fat so i am not going to eat.. and then I just never ate, its not that hard
I think you're talking about the figure of speach "going anorexic". It just means that a person is trying to get really skinny by not eating very much.
I often wonder that myself. Being anorexic i dont understand why some people want this so bad.
People dnot realise that its a mental thing and you cant just get it unless you were always going to get it.
This disease destroys your life i wish more people knew. I wish i had known.

because the mirror hurts worse then starving
we see all these beautiful girls and think "why cant i look like that"
sure they probably have major emotional problems [the pretty girls] but we think if we can reach "perfection" then we will be happy.
anorexia is not a disorder
its a choice
a lifestyle
because they hate the way they look and they feel like that is the last resort.
people who dont understand how bad anorexia is may take it lightly and i understand this may annoy you.it is a very dangerous thing to have and some people dont understand the implications of it.there is a difference between starving yourself to lose weight and then eating again to being scared to even lick your fingers incase you get a calorie.lets hope they never understand it really i would say.you cannot get it on purpose.its deep rooted and pschcological.its sometimes not even about being thin.
for some people, "anorexia" is a euphemism for not eating much food. i dont think they realize what they are saying and they possibly do not realize that anorexia is a mental disorder.
