how dare they public grip at us for eatting disorders and complain about our health and all these years saying we were unhealthy. We fought to stay alive and get our lives back. Now they are saying not eatting much is healthy and you live a long life over 100 years old! That makes me angry. I dont think they should be going on about this issue of almost no calories, for those of us who are finally under control and healthy and live a happy life. The stress of being skinny again is on the rise and they know darn well it isnt good for our bodies to starve! Anyone one else here agree with me. I dont want to hide myself behind doors again. I am finally able to say that and say I am a survivor of bulimic and anerxia! I still struggle and now they want the whole world to struggle with eatting disorders and saying it ok now. That makes me so mad

I agree!!! I almost died twice of starvation from anorexia. I'm sure I shortened my life span with all that craziness. However, the headlines about eating less are aimed at the general public, most of whom do eat way too much of the processed, fatty, sugary foods. I try to ignore all that nutrition advice because i'm not "normal" (even now in recovery I never touch junk food or sweets or white flour or red meat).
Congratulations to you for being so strong & getting well. I found that getting angry at all the influences (the media, the diet industry, the fashion designers) who contributed to my decades-long illness helped me get better. I just finally yelled that i'm sick of being sick and am going to take my life back even if it means not being as skinny as kate moss or whoever.
