Right? I am so bad at photos and there’s this one where I look like i’m side-eyeing my husband like I have some kind of secret to tell him, like “I just farted lols and you have to stand here” (but I was totally trying to be a good sport and do what the photog was asking for.) Also I had a parasol and I was throwing…

I love Chuck’s tweets. They’re the best, always like “#a good time spaghetti #and cholate milk. love my son” or else he’s pretending like he thinks Twitter is Google and he’s looking for celeb dick pics. And let’s not forget the drama with Ted.

Prednisone face made me look 19 apparently. Lost a few pounds and went off the stuff for a bit, now I’m up to 33. (I’m actually 30)

Ahh. That makes sense. Thanks!

What a horrible therapist. You're right, not all eating disorders look the same... and they exist on a spectrum. Ugh that makes me mad to hear it, because therapy has helped me so much. I hope you can find/have found someone who can really listen and not judge.

Oh man. Who thought that'd be a compliment? lol. My aunt once started talking to my mom (when she thought I couldn't hear) about how fat I was going to get when I got my period. This same aunt makes fun of my mom for being "chubby" to this day.

I always thought it was under 1000 calories! 800 sounds... awfully low to not be considered starvation. Huh. But then, I haven't really talked much about it. I've tried really hard not to focus on numbers because of the destruction this obsessive illness has wreaked on my life.

I've tested out of normal range on my thyroid before, but it seems to bounce around. My weight has fluctuated drastically over short periods of time before, and I never pinned down why. My eating habits do change—as I mentioned, I was severely restricting—and I slowly gained back, and gained a bit more when I started…

One time a guy I worked with saw some old pics of mine, when I exercised a lot and barely ate and dropped like close to 20 lbs from 140ish (I didn't have a scale, so I had no idea how much I'd lost... funny thing was, I still looked the same to myself the entire time) and he was like "wow, you were like, really hot…

I hear you. I usually last a few weeks before getting bored. But hey. I gotta try something. I'm going crazy over here.

omg me tooooo. I live in MN and jogging in -15 weather is not happening, ever. I have several connective tissue diseases/problems and I can't do high impact.

omg me too. And it came out of nowhere. I had been doing so well, too. Thanks for this timely article... I have a bunch of mental goop going on that sometimes just gets the better of me, despite all the therapy and medicines. Hang in there! (Think of the cat poster)

"You look tired"

Thank you <3

Thank you <3

I had to. It just felt like it needed to be said. Thank you for your nice reply :)

Yes, that was my thought,too. It's hard enough as is. Even if that wasn't their reasoning, it's a personal choice. I think people should step back and just TRY to place themselves in that situation. As if it wasn't difficult enough to begin with. Thanks for your kind reply.

Thank you <3

Exactly. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to see that everywhere. And trolls. There's always trolls and cruelty. I'd just have to disconnect from the internet altogether for a few weeks.

Yes. That choice is one of the toughest to make. Ever. I was 10 and my other sister (who I thankfully still have) was only 7. We didn't understand the gravity of everything, really, even though I think deep down you always have a "feeling". As I've grown older and learned more about these things, I've come to respect…
