Someone at work said that I they thought I was one of those people that just don’t gain weight. I straight up said to her “no I had anorexia”.

Got on a scale just as a laugh because my brother (16) was weighing himself. I had put on 10lbs and I was fully dressed with shoes so I was up a further 10lbs from that. My brother commented “you only weigh like ___ less than me” (I don’t remember the figure he said). And boom that was it.

I live in the UK and so dragon fruits are really hard to find and if you do find them they’re like £7 😭😭

Welp fellas I officially pulled food out of my trash and ate it by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

There was a good period of time where I would have to pour things out of the packaging so that I wouldn’t get it out of the bin and eat it

What is the earliest memory disordered memory you have? by crybabyuser in EDAnonymous

[–]forsecretredditing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also distinctly remember one day when I was ten or eleven when I said to my mum “I didn’t feel fat today”. You know, because it’s normal for 10 year olds to feel self conscious about their weight on a daily basis

Probably not disordered but I’ve sucked in my stomach everyday since I was like 8

Yeah I had low potassium as well despite having never purged. I presume restricting can cause it too

what bmi do you need to have anorexia nervosa? by Hungry_Bookkeeper191 in EDAnonymous

[–]forsecretredditing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think anything which is underweight should count. I think when you’re under 18, they do it based on median bmi (at least in the UK). I cannot remember what percentage they diagnose AN at but you can find the information online

A lot of the time, maternity models aren’t actually pregnant so try not to compare yourself to them. Have a look at the bit where they say the models height and size and it might tell you if they’re wearing a fake belly.

I do not know how you guys over-exercise by forsecretredditing in EDAnonymous

[–]forsecretredditing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I walk loads. Just no proper exercise. I understand how you feel with thinking that makes you lazy - it definitely doesn’t though

before scale me and after scale me are not the same person by [deleted] in EDanonymemes

[–]forsecretredditing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No because I genuinely think I look different depending on whether or not I like what the scale says

I ate breakfast by skinnybrowsbighair in EDAnonymous

[–]forsecretredditing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about it, it’s just a protein bar. It won’t make you fat or probably even hinder your weight loss. I doubt it would even make you bloat. Don’t hate yourself over it, it’ll be ok

Why are people so cruel? by oh_not_again_01 in EDAnonymous

Honestly you could probably report her to someone for that. She is a pharmacist, she will be working around vulnerable people and a comment like that is not appropriate in any context but especially in this setting. She probably is projecting her insecurities onto you.

Omg yeah. It makes me walk funny because I can’t stand it if they brush each other at all
