anorexic.

I used to be anorexic about 6 months ago but I got over it.

Now I want to be anorexic again. Not just lose weight, how it was when I really was anorexic, but I want to be too skinny.

p.s. I know anorexia is not normal but I was wondering about the second part.
Do you think it's normal?

I think you have a problem on the inside being insecure or feeling worthless. You need control on something and your body is it. Maybe you should think about the inside than the outside. It doesnt matter what you look like you need to be able to love yourself for who you are and not what people think.

thanks for the advice.


but I mean people tell me i'm skinny and stuff so it's not really about what people think but whenever I look at old photos of me and how I look now i just want to look as skinny as i was even though I know that then I was anorexic.

If I was you I would throw away the photos. You need to move on in the next chapter of your life. That was you back then now you need to do whats right now. I have two kids and looking at photos of me before is quite funny.Your body will change and so does life. If you go back you may not have a life to live.
why would you want to be too skinny? its not very flattering is it? everyone is beautifull the way they are so leave yourself alone. God made us all perfect, leave it at that shall we. :)
You're not over it
but you are out of the woods. If you still have these longings to be who you are in those pictures, knowing that you were very sick then and that it was unhealthy you have not yet beaten the demon. You are definatly over the hardest part of it though, so keep up the good work. You need a counselor. You still are not yet over the mindset that drove you to anorexia in the first place. Keep talking about it, and don't just keep your feelings inside because you could just end up in the same place as before. You can do it! But just know that you still do not have a healed self image and that you still have alot of healing to do yet. Be strong!!! Talk to friends and family! Seek out help! But mosst of all, don't give up and keep reminding yourself why you got better and how good you feel now :)
When you're not eating because you think you're fat even though you're not, that's a genuine problem that you need help with, and I'd be more than supportive and helpful in that situation.

But when you want to eat less KNOWING you're not too big, because you WANT to be (by your own admission) TOO skinny, then you're an attention seeking faker who wants to play off the emotions of the people who care about them. You are exactly what the ignorant public used to think about genuine anorexics, and it's taken a damn long time to get people over that stigma.

You need to look at yourself, find out what your problem is, and solve it. Regardless of what you'll do, you'll get no sympathy from me, and you're the first person I've ever come across on one of these kind of websites that I've said that to.
I like anorexic chicks, they're so weak they can't fight me off.....
yeah they are weak, and got no thickness in the right paves.. and they boney asd hell...dont want their bonyness to stab me
I once played with fire and got burned, should I try to play with fire again cause it was fun.
Girls with meat are sexy-keep eating.
