Why do anorexics get all the attention?!
Question: Why do anorexics get all the attention!?
Ive been overweight nearly all of my life, Im not a big blobby mess but Ive puked, pooed and taken phentermine diet pills [that work, but make you crazy] taken speed and cocaine, all to lose weight!. Sometimes I have got to a good weight but as soon as I stop doing whatever **** Im doing, it comes back on!. I think Im classed as an overeater!. I have serious issues with food right, so do anorexics right, but just becuase the bloody anorexics look good and fragile and sexy, its all oh poor you blah blah!. It pisses me off becuase, I am hurting so much inside, probably as much as them, I have tried to be anorexic, went on forums, pro-ana sites, but they hare food and I love food!. However, much I try and make myself hate food, I cant!. I cant get help for my food issues, I cant afford a counsellor, but becuase people look at me and just say oh there's so and so, shes put on weight again, they dont understand that it is an eating disorder as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
So, as far as I can see, you're not looking for help!. You're looking for someone to tell you why you don't get the attention other people with eating disorders do!.
Well, I'm sorry!. Having an eating disorder is scary stuff!. However, it sounds like you're more concerned with getting attention than you are with being a certain weight!. Anorexia is a disease!. I haven't suffered from it, but my roommate now deals with it!. Let me tell you, true anorexics would rather die than talk about their problem or have anyone cast pity upon them!. She would be more than happy to have me never, ever mention weight or food to her again!.
What you're dealing with is real, and it's painful I'm sure!. But there's nothing wrong with liking food!. Ask yourself why you hurt yourself in these ways!. Is it because you feel like you would be better liked if you were thinner!? Is it because you want the attention a "skinny" girl gets!? Only when you pinpoint what is going on with you will you be able to get help--which, by the way, is free through your school (if you go to school) or local hospital!.
Good luck! Take care of yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

anorexics get attention because obese people are more common!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Unfortunately it's because nowadays, aside from natural human instinct and what they're naturally attracted to, people are attracted to whatever grabs their attention!.
You shouldn't go to pro-anorexia sites because they really don't help in the long run, and they ignore the sick and sad reality of illness to your body mind and soul!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do you eat because you are ANGRY!?!? I don't think it's about food and going on diets or about puking up, it's all about our relationship with food and how we use that relationship to act out our mental anxieties!. Of course they are both disorders, but this is a mental health issue not a food and diet thing!.!.!. I'd try therapy rather than diet pills!. If you get out some of your anger it might help re your weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You should go & see your GP!. My doctors surgery offers counselling for overeaters & sessions with dieticians!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
There's probably about as much pro-anorexia as there is pro-obesity!.
Both are serious health issues, and that part you said about anorexics being sexy!.!.!. that's not why they get attention!.
Also I think the attention is balanced aswell, people know that eating disorders are a serious matter, but both need to be appealed to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

instead of trying to starve yourself or take drugs, why don't you try eating healthier foods and exercising more oftenWww@Answer-Health@Com
I love food too id hate to be anorexic they cant just go out for a meal with their friends or family have to make excuses etc they are definetley NOT sexy in my opinion an most men i knwo find very skinny ones disgusting you can lose weight an still eat the food you love but exercise more an just cut down id rather have to lose weight (which i am doing slowly) then not allow myself a slice of jam on toast!. Dont starve it will mess with your mind and make you depressed tired and ugly

Why are you jealous of anorexics!? There is a happy medium between anorexic and obese you know!.
Rather than trying to be anorexic, why not do some exercise!?
If you exercise enough, you can still enjoy food and be a healthy weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Whoa! Slow your roll for a second and listen!.!.!.!.!.You can't make yourself hate food if you're someone who loves it!. Anorexics have a mental condition that makes them hate food!. If they are truly anorexic, the smell, the sight and the taste disgust them!. A lot of these girls you're talking about who are anorexic are going through a phase!. They're not truly anorexic!. They're just trying it out and seeing if it works!. Obviously if you starve yourself you'll eventually loose weight (although it's the slowest way to lose) I think maybe you should try to get in the habit of only eating until you're satisifed!. Don't over eat, and don't eat when you're not hungry!. If you think you're addicted to food, that might be a little tougher, but it's a mind thing!. Set your mind to it that you will only eat until the hunger goes away!. This will allow you to eat more meals everyday throughout the day and you'll never feel hungry!. Eventually your body will be retrained!. Don't underestimate the power of exercise too!. You need to be doing that in order to be healthy!. Good luck and don't judge yourself so much!. You're being really hard on yourself and that will only make things worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think I understand how your feeling, you want mental health professionals to declare over eating as a mental illness just like they have for anorexics!. Over eaters look at themselves and know they are fat, and can therefore choose to stop and loose weight if they want to!.!.!.!.anorexics look at themselves and don't see the skin and bones they still see themselves as fat and thats what makes it a life threatening mental illness!. You recognize your problem!.!.!.!.!.they don't!. I hope this helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
One of my friends was anorexic she didnt die but everyone thought she was doing it 4 attention but really it was coz she was depressed then it carried from there, i dont think all anorexics get attention they need but ppl need 2 realise that ppl like u need attention as well!. If your still at school see if they have a free counselling service coz they should do or ask a friend if they know of anyone!. You could talk to your parents, friends, someone you trust and see if they come up with anything!. Good Luck!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Your craving attention not food!. You do need counseling to make you feel worthy!. If your in school you could see a school counselor!. Heck you might even get in touch with the Dr!. Phil show!. You have to burn more calories than you take in Exercise!. Walk the dog!. You can do this!. You didn't put that weight on overnight and it's going to take a little while to get it off!. There are on-line chat rooms for people dieteing and support groups!. I've heard reallly good things about thwm!. I'm sure you could speak with someone who feels ofr felt just like you!. Yes anarexia can kill but so can obesity!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
THEY GET SENT TO HOSPITAL because they could die, most dont WANT to go to hospital, you *do* want help so thats good!. but in reality i doubt you'd want to end up in hospital unless its private!. anorexics "get attention" to go to hospital and be looked at like a freak! trust me, i have been both, and you do NOT want to be treated like an anorexic no one will get off your A*RSE and you get locked away and force fed, which presumably is the last thing you want!. it sucks!. at least they leave you the hell alone otherwise!. and treatment for an eating disorder only made me worse in hospitalWww@Answer-Health@Com
you need 2 be totally happy with yourself #1 then in order to love others you must first love yourself, not look down on yourself!. I love food to I am overweight (not far but fluffy) and I am like you, but i stopped caring what other people think and say I care only how I feel!.inside and out , it helps alot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I was an anorexic and I'm a mum of 2 I went to 5 stone and was refused any help from anywhere!.

I never got any attention from anyone but I guess I didn't want any either!.
So before you make silly comments research this first okay!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

are you kidding me!? sorry hun, but ive been a little overwieght for most of my life too, and you have more deeper issues then just food!.
first off, anorexic people do not look good, they look disgusting and i would rather look at a bigger person then an anorexic one!. and you dont need a counselor, you just need to learn some boundries!. dont eat when you arent hungry!. end of story!.
and yea, i understand that you think that youre fat [i went through the same thing ]and you need to starve yourself and do drugs to look pretty, but thats not even it!. you are who you are and you need to realize that!.
quit trying to take the easy way out to lose weight, if you really want to why dont you try cutting down on the food and getting a little more exercise!. it will do you good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I'm underweight and I wish I could gain some weight!. And the truth is, most fat people have gorgeous faces like: Mandissa from American Idol, Queen Latifah, Mo'Nique, and more!. Anorexics get all of the attention because they look like a bony mess!. That goes the same for pregnant teens, handicap people, and all of those people are stared at and talked about for bad reasons!. Attention isn't everything, I'm skinny, and I'm not gonna try to get fat, because just because you're fat doesn't mean people don't find you attractive!. I look at some people who are the ugliest couples, and then I look at myself and wonder why I've never even had a boyfriend, or gone on a date!. I have great style, the best personality, and average looks!. Sometimes I might think about it, and then I look at all of those ugly people and say, If I'm prettier than her, and she got a man, then I will eventually find one too!. And that man will make me feel perfect and won't be insecure at all!. But if you really want to lose weight, then go to your doctor and have him/her get you on a diet or some surgery!.
I say work through it!. Good Luck!!! :PWww@Answer-Health@Com

Wowza, that was like reading an entry from my diary when I was 15!. I did the same, I was overweight at 16 and by 17 I had dropped down to a very unhealthy weight by not eating and making myself sick when I did, I'm 29 now and I haven't done that since I was 17!. I also love food and I am a chef so I have to eat and taste food which is so yummy and fattening on a daily basis!. Exercise really is the key to it all!. Society does frown on overweight people in general but that doesn't mean that you are not an awesome person or that you can not be happy with who you are if you are overweight!. Seriously, you did't even mention exercise in what you said!. It sounds like you suffer from low self esteem because of your situation and exercise gives you endorphins which are the best natural high you can get!. If you go to your GP they may have info on counselors in your area who work through a community services programme and are free or very cheap!. You need to tell the truth of what you just told the world in an anonymous form to people in your real life!. Good luck with it all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
"Just because the anorexics look good and fragile and sexy" EH NO!!! They look like sick, weak junkies knocking ready and willing to lie down and die!.
I've yet to meet a sexy anorexic and I can only say if you really believe that then you need your head examined!!!!
You said too in response to Jake that you have tried that a million times, if you REALLY tried you would only do it once because if you were really that unhappy, rather than feeling sorry for yourself and looking for attention once is all you would need to get up and actually do something about it and stop looking for sympathy!.
Calling it a disorder does not take the matter out of your own hands!. Turn your anger into something positive and instead of logging on here for a whinge stick your tracksuit on and go for a walk, burn off some steam!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi!. I am anorexic (27 now, 1st diagnosed aged 11, so not a quick recovery)!. I get very little attention, and want none at all!.
It sounds like you may have bulimia (with the purgeing behaviours you mentioned) or Binge eating disorder; both of which are included in the NICE guidelines for NHS trusts treating eating disorders!. The majority of people with Bulimia and Binge eating disorder are overweight / obese and it is very difficult for them to get treatment; I have a very close friend who is bulimic who gets f* all treatment, although her doctors are aware of it!.

If you're not a big blobby mess then what's the problem!? Thick girls are sexy so long as you're not obese!. And as far as anorexics being sexy where did you get that idea from!?!? anorexia is sick it isn't sexy, morbid obesity is the same!. But both conditions can probably be helped with alot of psychiatrist therapy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
