Angry With News Topic Eating Less to Live Longer Posted: 12-06-03 19:52pm
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.

eat much? This is new to me. Please let
me know...

You Didnt See the News Posted: 12-08-03 21:03pm
Saying eatting almost no calories will
help you live to be over a hundred years
old. Watch the news more often and i'm
sure you will catch it on, for I cant go
into details but its pretty much telling
people to almost starve and they can be
healthy and skinny. Etc... Starting
crazy news if you eat almost nothing you
will be ok and its not ok to me to listen
to that crap! We know from being down
that road its dangerous territoty and I
never want to go down that road again. I
dont want to see anyone almost die just to
be skinny.

No, I didn't see anything like that, but I
hate the news. I try to watch it, but
with all that is going on in the world you
would think they would have more to talk
about then the weather and who won some
stupid sport. I don't know about where
you live, but the news in my area always
repeats the same stupid story. But, I do
agree with you about the above. That is
bull.
