Description Dedicated by

"Stomach series.

This was something very hard for me to post. I have huge insecurities of my stomach. You can ask my boyfriend, because I will hardly ever let him touch it...

I was diagnosed with an eating disorder a few years ago, in which i dont usually like to talk about, but i "recovered" because i was forced to eat by an ex boyfriend of mine. I also had to promise a few people that i would never starve myself again.




[edit] i am adding a real description to describe these

First off, my stomach IS NOT flat.
It is not how i want it to look.
and no matter how hard I try,
no matter how skinny i get,
or even how many sit ups i do,
it will not be flat.
If you don`t like that, get over it.

Second off, these pictures were taken after
i had gained most of my weight back.
I was orginally 130.
I dropped down to 110.
[til i started blacking out and had friends to help me]
I am now about 125.
In the pictures, I was about the same.
My weight varies from 120-125 now,
depending on if i eat or not.
Maybe that seems big to you,
and believe me it does to me too.
But I am also 5`7,
I was a cheerleader.
I do have muscles,
and I have boobs.
It all helps gain weight.
and although I am 125
I still have problems with eating, sometimes.

Third off, DON`T tell me i`m beautiful,
DON`T tell me my stomach is gorgeous,
i`ve heard it all and one more person telling me
isn`t going to make me believe it.

Now, about each picture...

The first picture, YES, i was sucking in,
and YES, I was pushing my stomach back.
Remember I said MY STOMACH IS NOT FLAT.
That picture represents how i wanted/want to look.
I don`t want to be called fat by my mom
or be joked on about having the pudge.
I see it. I know it`s there.
and there isn`t a damn thing i can do about it.
I have tried and tried.
And as hard as it seems,
the images you see,
i see 100 times worse.

The second picture, YES, I was sucking in.
That is how skinny I wanted to get even more.
My SERIOUS goal of weight was to be 50 pounds.
I was going to drop to 100.
and then 90.
and then eventually down to 50.
But also then, i did not care if i died or not.
But my true weight.
I wanted to be was 100 pounds or less.

The third picture was about how I looked.
Except, my hand was there to push the pudge down a little
and I think I was sucking in a little.
Not only that, but that picture is horrid to me.
It took me over 100 shots just to get it to look okay.
Okay enough for people to see.




When these pictures were taken, i was in a bubble. I had too many insecurities. My love is helping me, and is continuing to help me. I was called fat by my mom from ages 12-14 and that scarred me for life. Never will I see myself as a skinny girl. But I am also realizing you DON`T have to be skinny. Just to be yourself. Although I do eat now, and i don`t throw up as much. I still have times when I do not eat for periods of time or I eat too much and don`t think I need all the food in my system and i throw it up. I have been doing better, but I still am not able to take a real picture of my stomach without sucking in. I am still not able to take a picture without taking 100 pictures to get the shots okay.


I will not go into anymore details.
It is my business and all you need to know.
don`t ask. don`t worry. i will not tell."

I can somehow relate to that.

About a year ago I became bulimic until I realized that it could really mess up my stomach and throat tissue. I'm at a healthy weight though it's considered overweight on the bmi tables. The funny thing is: nobody can guess my weight within 40 pounds.

I hope you continue to improve and grow to realize that there is more to beauty than that "pudge" that you feel is so upsetting. I'm 210 pounds, and everyday I go outside and I feel beautiful because even though I'm supposed to be, according to my physicians, around 175 I can go out at any time and run 6 miles. I am healthy and I am strong, and in this way I'm happy. I hope that you find happiness in as a deep a form as I have and I wish you all the best.

This is the kind of thing that makes me sooo sad. My stomach is about the same size as yours, probably tubbier. I'm 5'5. For such a long time, I felt ugly, and fat. Models and celebrities are so skinny, less than 100 pounds. And they were beautiful . Bones were beautiful. But now I realise that not only did a have a good body, but that it's the feeling that comes from inside you that makes you beautiful . Beauty dosen't come in size.I honestly hope that maybe one day, you'll look at your self and say that your beautiful.

I can relate to that.
I absolutely HATE my Stomach. It`s an obsession.
I always look at other peoples Stomaches and compare it to mine.
Thank you. You made me feel better. No matter what people said, that i have nothin to worry about,that i have a beautiful Stomach, and all of that bullshit...you`re the one that made me feel better, because now I know that I am not the only one, that I am not alone in this. thank you!

FibFin [2006-04-15 21:22:51 +0000 UTC]

i just wanted to thank you for posting these pictures. you captured a really terrible and painful truth that most people prefer to just ignore. it's really important for people to be able to look eating disorders in the face and not just deny their existence. i've been struggling with my own eating disorder for almost a year now and i took to drawing because, honestly, it was the only way i felt i could express my feelings about it all. no one really takes guys seriously when they say they're starving themselves. these pictures are really powerful and beautiful, both from an artistic point of view and from one person to another.

thank you again.

p.s. if there's one thing i can't STAND it's people who tell you they're jealous or that they wish they could be as thin as you. reading through the response to these pictures i noticed someone said that and i wanted to apologize for them. i know at least for me that only makes me feel tons worse. people just don't understand that anorexia isn't something to be envious of

dysmorphics In reply to FibFin [2006-04-16 17:24:36 +0000 UTC]

These things are a problem, and like you said, they are ignored many times, and as for the comment, it's the world which has made it modern or "in" to be thin, even if it means to starve yourself, something which should not be the case. We all apreciate your kind comment because our goal is to reach out to those who suffer from disorders such as anorexia, and tell them they are not alone. We also hope to be able to show others that sometimes there are so many things behind that thin body, behind that "Perfect Body".
Perhaps you'd like to join our community here.
Once again, thank you for your comment.

I know kinda how you feel. Nobody told me I was fat, but I thought I was anyway. I ended up in the hospital after colapsing. That was 2 years ago, and I am doing better now, my husband takes great care of me, I know too, that my stomache will never be flat, and Im dealing with it a day at a time. Its all you can do. There are no scales in the house, and my the pictures I actually like of me are on the fridge and in the bathroom, and I found a feature about my self that I like, and whenever Im having one of my bad days, I let my husband know, and focus on the feature I like best, and look at the pictures.. Take it a day at a time honey, try the stuff I do, it might help, it might not, to each his own. You have great boobs, love them!! Anyway, Ill stop bothering you now, but stay with it, keep eating, and remember..one day at a time. You have enough strength to fight this disease for good.

I'm not going to tell u ur beautiful, perfect or say 'OMG your not fat SHUTUP!!!' because i know none of those things will help you in anyway so they would be pointless even if they are true. So many girls suffer in silence every single day wishing to just be that little bit better, that little bit lighter, that tiny bit thinner. Your photos deffinetely reflect my personal endevour to constantly be thinner. I can remember spending an entire day once locked up in my room just sucking my stomach in as far as it would go and seeing how long i could hold then doing about a million sit ups and then trying again. It's a horrible horrible disease and one that i still battle with on a daily basis. I hope that you can see what a lieing horrible fiendish brainwashing manipulative evil illness it is and chose to fight it.

I guess there are too much criticism arround us, and we need to know how to filter and how to deal with it.
People always will make you feel worse, so they can feel better...
It's like, I'll destroy the one that's beside me to feel powerful, don't you think?

i have owned this heavy problem for about two years now.
i have almost recovered, as long as i don`t look at myself in the mirror.

This picture is somewhere in the back of my gallery.

I have noticed many girls submitting photos of their stomachs now though. I had 3 deviations pop up of their stomachs in the past 2 days.
