'Getting' an eating disorder is not a way to become skinny. It's a way to break and maybe even kill yourself.
Think about it. If you're not confident with yourself even though you know you're healty the way you are try healty eating and a little exercising. It's much better

It's good that you don't have an eating disorder. They're scary and not healthy. :\

It would be better to lose the weight in a more healthy way. NO ONE would blame you or be mad at you or think anything bad if you did it that way. Like... Eating healthy and exercising.

I sort of had that mentality for a while... wanting to make myself puke just to see if I could. For a long time, I couldn't. Now that I've figured it out, I really have developed a mild eating disorder. I freak out about food — counting carbs, counting fat, counting calories — and on top of that occasionally purge. It's not fun and it's hard to hide (as you've pointed out). But if you do try, just be careful not to overdo it, and be aware of the consequences. However, even where I am now, I feel that if you can maintain an order so that you don't overdo it, I feel it can't hurt.

Oh that sounds marvelous... on a side note, good thing your too scared to continually vomit yourself to death. Spares me from having to say your stupid. But seriously here, lose weight the healthy way if you want to lose weight, and if your already healthy than just keep it that way, no reason to change whats good and working.

i know exactly how you feel and i have dreamt the same, i think it's perfectly normal to wish such things on occasion, seeing as everybody has personal preferences.
it's good that you know that you are fine as you are !

Sometimes I feel really fat and wonder if it would help if I went and threw up in a toilet whenever I ate. But then I don't because I realize it could do me some real damage. Think about that next time you "dream" about having an eating disorder.
I'm sure you've already gotten that from the other posts, though.

Not to sound like I don't care about the people that have done serious damage with anorexia and bulimia, but it seems like it would be a lot of work to TRY and have an eating disorder. I mean, look how much work a rational diet is. All those watchin calories and watching what you eat. Turning away from the stuff you really want and everything. I mean, I'd be miserable even on a regular diet, but you'd never have a life between counting carbs and sleeping. It would be way too much work, don't you think?

Besides....who cares about being skinny? I don't know how much you know about Greek and Roman mythology, but the goddesses were considered the most beautiful women in the world. And look at their waist sizes!

Thats Pirmavera, painted by Sandro Botticelli (my favourite painter) in 1482 I believe. That's the goddess Venus in the middle there in the red dress. She was considered THE most beautiful woman, she was the GODDESS of love and beauty. And while the dress hides a lot, it's clear that she isn't some skinny pixie. That's true beauty there, the bodies we were given. Not something we force ourselves to look like...something we naturally are.

Hard not to smile, hon don't even think about it. I started vomiting just to 'get me started' when I was sixteen. Now I'm 20 and end up on the bathroom floor crying because I don't want this anymore. My friends and family are worried, I've had a seizure my sometimes my taste-bud's get such a hammering I can't taste anything. I get shakes, unwelcome nausea on reflex and panic attacks over eating ONE cookie. It's not something you want, trust me.

Oh no you don't. Freakishly skinny people aren't attractive at all, and eating disorders are really bad for your body and your health.

As long as you're healthy, that's all that matters.

Ahh. I've thought that way, you know. (I'm heavier than I ought to be for health reasons.) Oh, sure, it sounds great, being able to lose all of the weight, but it'd only bring me a different set of health problems. I don't need that. Neither do you.

And people with disorders aren't any happier or better looking. They look sickly and like skeletons and nobody wants that. Be glad you don't have one (they're hard to escape and are dangerous,) and if you're healthy, don't change. Learn to love who you are as you are and talk to someone you trust about this if it's getting to you, okay?

Oh my, I could have written this secret myself. I try to slim down even though I'm already quite skinny and after two days of it I can't go on so I binge on food.

Im not sure I understand. You say you dream about having an eating disorder. Yet in the same breath you say you know you are healthy. And then you say you wouldnt do it because you are scared or what others would say.

Now this alone tells me If its something you "want" its only for attention. And not really because you have an eating disorder at all.
You see if this was to be taken seriously there is no way you would be saying you are healthy, because people with an eating dosorder dont think they are healthy at all. The ones who are underweight, dont see themselves as skinny or healthy, they see them selfs as being fat and over weight. Which is why they think they need to do what they do.
Also they dont care what anyone else says or thinks, as its more then that, its a lot deeper then that.
Just like a person who wants to kill themselves. At the time they dont think anyone cares or loves them no matter how much they know there are people they do. It just doesnt register at all.

I get the feeling that the ST is more saying that the idea of having one is neat — that it would be great to have one. Basically if he/she had the will-power to do it with no consequences, they would.

Anyone who has struggled with an eating disorder (and isn't under the false pretense that it is a "lifestyle choice") can tell you that it's a terrible road to travel.

"Wannarexia" isn't anorexia - YET. It can very easily turn into a full-fledged eating disorder and it can wreck your life.

Please don't do it ST.
If you need help, I can tell you anything you need to know about these things, alright?
Don't try to fare it alone.

Poor you...
But honestly, an eating disorder is nothing to dream about. It's bad for your body, and for the people around you.
Don't girl, you're beautiful just the way you are.

It's great that you recognise you are healthy, ST. I don't know why you would want to be skinny when you realise you're great the way you are, so please don't do anything rash. Talk to someone about it.
