| | I'm not going to link to any of these journals, as I don't want to start a drama war. Hell, I was hesitant to even post this entry, but this is just fucking ridiculous. Some of these girls are so clueless about what eating disorders really are that it actually shocks me -- and I've seen a lot of ignorance about anorexia in my day. Anyway, these are real quotes taken from wannarexic's journals. Yes, the girls who said these things were 100% serious. On with the show...
"hey guys its only my third day being anorexic"
Hah. You can't count the number of days you've been anorexia, seeing as it's not something that happens overnight, nor is it something you choose. It slowly sneaks up on you until one day, when you finally realize that something is wrong, it's far too late to stop it.
"i have been an anorexic off and on
since 8th grade and now im a senior. this time is going to be different
though because im sticking to it. i need support though."
The hell? You don't "stick" to anorexia. If anything, it sticks to you. Anorexia isn't something you have to work hard to maintain, as the fear of food, weight gain and feeling out of control never leaves you. You don't grow out of it, get bored or lose motivation. You don't NEED motivation to be anorexic. Anorexics don't choose not to eat... they're forced to skip meals, because of that nagging voice in our heads that won't leave us alone -- and we certainly don't grow out of, get bored of, or lose the motivation to listen to THAT.
"-i know its hard not to eat but whenever you need help you should have a ana buddy who will support you."
It's really not that hard not to eat when you have an eating disorder. In fact, it's more difficult TO EAT than it is not to.
"Todays daily intake: D-1/2 cup of Spagetti 250 cal [...] Total 370 cal..... pretty good!"
Yeah. No anorexic could eat Spaghetti and call it a good day. Doesn't matter how many cals are in it, you'd still feel like absolute shit after eating it. Noodles expand in your stomach, making your feel extremely full (feeling full is absolute misery when you have an ED) and Spaghetti sauce 'feels' fattening when you eat it.
"I just want to be skinny. So I'm starting my New Years resolution early! I will lose weight. I will be skinny. I will!"
So your New Year's resolution is to slowly starve yourself to death, and gain nothing but misery from it? Whatever floats your boat.
"i'm planning on taking a break from ana this weekend for my friends bday."
Haha, yeah right. You can't "take a break" from ana. Sorry doll, but anorexia sticks with you no matter what.
I could probably search for more -- Xanga certainly is a great source for idiotic pro-ana quotes -- but I think this will do for now. Wannarexics are morons. 'nuff said.
