I just want to assure you that the opposite of what you struggle with is full of depression and is so empty and doesn't have satisfaction. The fact that it seems like an addiction that causes weight loss would be more bearable than the opposite just shows how effectively warped our society is in how it says thinness is a source of happiness.Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277446579317502427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-24278525895158980862011-05-03T03:30:03.819-04:002011-05-03T03:30:03.819-04:00Oh my goodness!

This really hit home for me: I wish I had a 'better' eating disorder and I know that I need support at home to recover but I can't get over the stigma associated with having an eating disorder and tell my family <br /><br />http://journey-to-recovery.blogspot.com/2011/04/envy.htmlEDNOShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162920013690423478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-18401147547484831682011-04-02T07:39:23.896-04:002011-04-02T07:39:23.896-04:00I believe that most eating disorders stem from ear...I believe that most eating disorders stem from early relationship with the maternal caregiver.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104395523269130320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-34648944166830688722011-03-14T21:35:11.528-04:002011-03-14T21:35:11.528-04:00Most of my life I have been a compulsive over eate...Most of my life I have been a compulsive over eater - when I reached my teens, I took different eating patterns and diet fixations which earned me the diagnosis of ed-nos. Still to this day, I am jealous of anorexia - the opposite of what I've suffered for many years. Somehow I felt that I'd rather be not eating and underweight, then constantly eating and overweight. Although I still often think this way, I'm more aware that suffering is suffering, no matter which way you wrap and put a pretty bow on it. <br /><br />Your blog is great, I'd like to keep following you!Kaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283342341870049587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-29861917367036804482011-02-28T19:20:53.740-05:002011-02-28T19:20:53.740-05:00People who say these things have never been in the...People who say these things have never been in the head of someone suffering the extreme self-hatred of these disorders. It's not something to envy. I would not wish an eating disorder upon my worst enemy.<br /><br />There's an anorexic woman in my neighborhood, and every time I see her bony spine pass me on the trail, shaking her arms above her head to burn more calories, it breaks my heart.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-14069460379983859782011-02-28T16:38:08.918-05:002011-02-28T16:38:08.918-05:00I think that part of the envy comes with the perce...I think that part of the envy comes with the perception of desirable outcomes.<br /><br /><b>Please note that these are not my views, but reflect the mindset behind comments I've heard and read</b><br /><br />Bulimia - "Eat large quantities of whatever one chooses while managing weight to some extent".<br /><br />Anorexia - "Exercise control to achieve quick/drastic weight loss"<br /><br />I would suggest, however that the mania cycle of Manic Depression/Bipolar Disorder results in a similar envy - "I wish I had that energy to get so much done! I wish I could go through periods of intense creativity!"aniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637630323070556016noreply@blogger.com
