i have a question.

Posted by Danielle. - fatass. on March 14, 2010 at 7:44 PM
Thank you for the comments. Thank you for your input.
This is my take on my status:

Actually. I'm not at school.

I left school because I was being sexually harassed which led to me trying to commit suicide. Thus being sent to a mental institution.

Because of all of this, I don't have any friends left.

When I said I idolize it, the key words were "commitment", "self restraint". People already think enough of me, which all happens to be wrong. I didn't see the harm in giving them something else, because at least it would be true.

"I idolize anorexia.." means I idolize myself. That I have the ability (most times) to say no, because it is VERYYY difficult for me. I live in the south. Mississippi to be exact. Full of fat people. (thus my desire to not be fat). But full of delicious food and family that makes it all and hands it to me.

And when I do say no, it kills me for a moment. But then I remember that it gets me so much closer to my goal.

When I said "mind your own business" I meant it as though.. You aren't anorexic. You don't know what I'm going through. And unless you can give a legitament opinion (based on experience), to move along.

^ hoping that clears things up.

 

PS. The only tight clothes I have are my jeans. But they're tight because they're too small because I'm too fat. Not because I want people to notice that there is something abnormal about me.


This is the original post:


I'm anorexic. Yet, I'm not offended by this status.
Would any other Ana and/or Mia be offended by it?
I'm just one person. So..... What do you think?

Though I'm not offended, I think plenty of people would be. A lot of anorexics don't want to be anorexic so they couldn't fathom why she would idolize something that's so horrible to them. Also, she could offend people who knew and loved a person who died of anorexia. Or even the people who ARE dying of anorexia, or almost died of anorexia (and have horrible side effects). So I personally agree with Brooke, I think she should be more careful of what she posts on facebook. :)

yeah I'm offended. She's very close-minded. If she hadn't been so bold and rude it wouldn't matter as much. But eating disorders, along with any other mental illness or neurosis, are not to be idolized.

See... I find anorexia more of a way of life or... mind set.
Not a disorder.
I fell absolutely disgusting everytime I eat. So I quit eating and it solved my problems. For me it's a way of life. And technically I could help it, but it's more like.. Why should I help it.
I don't want to eat.
Plain and Simple.
I want to feel beautiful.

I'm not offended at all. A little confused as to why she would broadcast this though, obviously a mouthy attention whore.

I think its fine for her to think that, but going around posting it is not the smartest thing. I don't think she is saying it out of malice or in sarcasm, so I'm not offended. But this could easily be taken as mocking a terrible mental and physical disorder. Hmm. I kinda take this as a warning sign, for this girl. It seems like her fantasizing the disorder could lead to her dappling into it, and finding herself in a big deep dark hole before she knows what is even happening. I dunno, I take this as more of a sign of naivety than in offense. I mean, I idolize those same traits but that is because I am overcome with the bitch that is Ana. Speaking of it so casually is lame.
Sorry, I don't believe that rant was cypher-able haha. Take what you may from it.

I for sure see ana as a disordered view or perception but not cuz I think its wrong. Its disordered cuz it goes against the normalcy of unhealthy and unrealistic mind sets. .. I feel like we (meaning pro ana) eat the way God intended, restricting, fruits , veg, water , fasting ... and I feel alone and suffer cuz I am surrounded by a world of unhealthy bodies and minds

Although I am not offended (cuz I see how someone Could feel that way)
I think it was an insensitive remark seeing as she spoke without thinking ... not thinking that indeed their may be eyes that would look upon this that struggle with an ED or .. correct / different mind set regarding what they put into their bodies ...

Hoping that all made sense haha (sorry for the ramble, lol )

Well, I would have said you can take it either way, until I saw how nasty she really is in the last entry after someone was trying to get her to see it for what it can be, very difficult. I am not ana myself and I do not idolize it but I do respect it.

Bit offended really.
I think your seeking attention and need to get a life. theres girls like you at school who come in like oh i havnt eatenall day today cus im anorexic .. and here i am desperately trying to hide it and keep it a secret and hide that im losing weight while they wear stupidly tight clothes. You sound like the kind of person id hate :)
just thought youd like to know that and grow up ... people rnt gna think ur anorexic for posting that, theyr not going to think your cool either, theyr going to think ur reallyfucking weird and attention seeking and 4 u to put 'mind ur own business' when uv just posted it as ur status is ever so slightly contradictory

I'm sorry about what happened to you.

When you post on a public forum like Facebook, though, be prepared for other people to not agree with your opinions. I don't think you can tell someone to mind their own business after you've posted publicly and are inviting scrutiny.

I think it's very insensitive , but at the same time , it's her right to "idolize w.e the fuck [she] wants" , so I suppose that's all there is to it .

personally, i'm not offended. someone once said to me (not realizing i was ana....actually she totally bashed any ana out there.....but that's beside the point)that she was amazed how people could show such great self-restraint and control, and that we should be commended and congradulated for achieving such inner-stength.

i feel like she's kind of mocking it in this post, though...i mean, just the tone of it and all.

and you're from mississippi? wow, that must be tough! i alternate between new jersey and florida (east coast, on the beach), and i know how much food those southerners like! isn't mississippi that fattest state? where, like, 1 in 3 are overweight or obese? or maybe that's alabama or arkansas or something. it's one of those states in that area, i remember reading about that in the TIMES.

stay safe and stay strong, angel.

i'm not offended, I mean your not saying it to get at the people who are dying and have died of anorexia. everyone has their right to their own opinion right ? and somepeople are contradicting themselves, because when someone first starts being ana they must think its good right? or why would they do it? unless theres another valid reason. But still all the same she has her own opinion, i know someone very very close to me who died from anorexia, and im sure many of us have, so yeah i can see how it would offend people, but just dont over react,at the end of the day its her choice, her opinion that SHE wants to express, shes not personally getting at you, so you people that think shes getting at you arent on your own. ITS JUST AN OPINION GUYSSSS!!!
