I don’t really understand anorexic people. Do they despite food? What emotions they feel? How it is possible that they are so thin and they imagine themselves fat. is there some person with anorexic experience who can tell us something about it.

Hello, I was anorexic when I was 14. I hated my body. My reflection in the mirror only exposed garish imperfections: extra skin here, fat there, I was developing a double chin…. I felt isolated and awkward at school and at home. I directed myself I only needed to lose another 10 pounds in order to feel good. I despite food that much that I wasn’t eating at all. Naturally I end up in hospital.

It's not all about the food. It's a struggle within that they are having with themselves. They feel good not eating. Almost better than everyone else. It feels like they have control over something, when they can't control anything else. So they control their food and turn it into a psychological game. (Many of them would hate me for saying that too. I used to be anorexic and bulimic) They see themselves as fat because they really believe they are fat. It's called a screwed up self image. They see themselves way different than other people do. I still suffer from that and I no longer practice my eating disorder. That is very hard to get over. They use that self-image as motivation for them to not eat. And to stay on track. It's not about dieting. It's about control. Perfecting your body. Being the best you can be. Punishing yourself every step of the way. Does this sound like the disease for you?
