Misunderstood

By nothungry - 29/07/2009 00:47 - United States

Today, after four years of anorexia and lots of recovery, my parents took me out to dinner with my counselor and whole family to celebrate my progress. I ended up eating something that made me vomit everything I ate. My parents now think I am bulmic and are sending me back to counseling. FML

Oh wow. That really sucks. :( I'm sure they'll realize that they're wrong soon, even if they don't believe you when you tell them the truth. Congrats on the recovery, at least. :D

That sucks, but like someone else said, they're just worried. Make sure they see that that's not the case as best you can. Congrats on recovering though! I have a friend struggling with it right now and it's hard to see, I can't imagine how hard the battle is for the person.

try and convince them to let you do an at-home recovery? and maybe during that span you can figure out how to show you're NOT bulimic? ahh that does really suck, I'm sorry :

I WILL NOT congratulate you on your so called "recovering." you deserved it because you never had a sickness. You were probably already skinny and thought that you were so fat with so many problems. all you had to do was eat the ******* food and live with it. and if you really did start to gain weight, work out. It is not that hard you stupid bitch.

what the ****, you are an ignorant jerk. you know nothing about anorexia and eating disorders. do you have any idea that anorexia is a PSYCHOLOGICAL disorder? it has nothing to do with being able to "eat the ******* food." what the ****. seriously. what the ****.

They have no idea, don't even bother trying to tell them they're wrong.

Maybe it wasn't even the food that make her throw up, it could have been that she was not used to food because of her constant starvation. Maybe, she ate too much for her stomach to handle?

uh... actually number 47 your only halfway right. when you have anorexia your starving yourself to lose weight. everyone knows that. and it is psychological. but what you got wrong is that it DOES have an affect on your eating. while you are starving yourself your stomach basically shrinks down and stops activity to save energy because you no longer have an energy source for energy. when you go back to eat after having anorexia you cant start out on huge amounts of food you have to take it easy, often times starting with baby food. and like 28 said. she probably started gradual so that her stomach could get used 2 food but there would still be some food that she couldnt handle and she might have eaten too much to prove that she had recovered. so you might think that SHE is ignorant but really your the ass.

All that is true, but I think #47 was responding to the highly ignorant commenter who said that people with anorexia should just "eat the ******* food and live with it," and was just trying to point out to that person that people with anorexia have serious psychological issues regarding eating and food, and it's NOT as simple as perfectly rational person just choosing not to eat. No need to call #47 an ass just because they were talking about a different aspect of the disorder from what you're describing.
