Today, a coworker complimented me on losing weight, and said that she wished she could drop a few pounds too. I was too embarrassed to tell her that the only reason I've lost weight is because I haven't been able to afford to eat. FML

Uhh well, at least you're getting something positive out of it! No, not eating isn't healthy at all and I do hope you'll be able to buy food soon, if not, stay over at friends or family.

Malnourished and obese? Yes, it happens. Anorexic and obese? Don't make me laugh.

Umm, I used to be anorexic and obese. Not kidding, of course I wasn't obese after about a month or two, but any weight can have an eating disorder. Plus, you don't even have to be underweight to die from them, which most people don't realize. I'm 5' 8" and went into cardiac arrest at 150 pounds.

I definitely sympathize OP, I'm going through the same thing....I hope your situation gets better! And to the people commenting that OP doesn't have their priorities straight, sometimes things happen that are beyond our control, like in my case losing my job and getting in a car wreck on the same day. In this economy, one job in a household usually doesn't cover everything 100% of the time. By the time you pay rent, utilities, car note and insurance, etc., sometimes there's nothing left.

How do you know where/how they are accessing internet? You can access it for free if you go to a library or sit in a hospital lobby. Lots of options.

Well well well. I was just going on FML to mention that I'm happy I've lost weight, but I was just standing in my kitchen crying, because the truth is the only reason lost weight is that I don't have money for food! There's two weeks left, at least I have a little fat left. And there are some nuts somewhere, and peas in the fridge.... ah.... FML.
