• (3 votes) I’m not exactly the thinnest person and according to my friends neither am I fat.
  

  Ok let me tell you the truth.
  
  You can eat to keep people off your back - you can pretend you’ve eaten, you can pretend to be hungry to keep people off your back, you can pretend to be like any person completely fine with their body to keep people off your back but will it make you happy? No, it will make you miserable.
  
  Being thin won’t make people like you more. You can’t make people like you in that way - people don’t look at each others weight. You may see people comment on others’ body (especially between girls) but it really won’t affect how people like you.
  
  I’ve found that out for myself the hard way. I didn’t eat, I kind of thought the same thing as you are thinking now and it was also a lot more than that. But one thing I noticed, was that when I wasn’t eating I was losing my friends. Not eating makes you more irritable - you can be in a bad mood from the first thing in the morning, a mood dictated simply by numbers on a scale. Will people like you if you are snappy, moody, withdrawn, and thin? Or would they like you if you were lively, happy, friendly and a healthy weight?
  
  What I think is that you have a very low opinion of yourself. I may be wrong - tell me if I am - but often when people hate themselves they try to pinpoint something specific. They might try to make that thing better… so for you, you might think the reason some people may not like you is because of your body. So you would change your eating habits to accomodate this - to make it better.
  
  But that’s not going to happen. As I said, for me, people didn’t like me more. One of my friends actually told me ‘I liked you before you started losing weight. When you didn’t think that thin was fat’. And I realised that, far from gaining like, I was losing my friends.
  
  People can only like you as much as you love yourself, so if you want something to make yourself better, then here it is. Learn to love yourself. Treat yourself with the love you deserve. Being healthy is a lot more important than being an emaciated shell of a person - believe me, when you lose weight you lose yourself. The more weight that comes off, the more of your personality comes off. That’s the truth, and if you asked anyone who has ever experienced an eating disorder, they will tell you the same thing.
  
  Has anything I and Dan and Baba said changed your opinions? What do you think?

• (2 votes) Ever feel that your online friends & conversations are better than the ones you have in person?
  

  I think it’s because we have more time to think about what we are saying. And it’s less embarrassing to say things, because it is just typed words, nothing more. Also, you can say all you have to say without anyone interrupting :)

• (2 votes) i believe in god and the bible but i don’t go to church is that bad cause i don’t feel right in a church or helping the church either.
  

  I personally think that going to church is something that should feel right to the person. I love my church to bits, and I love everyone there, but I don’t get the same happy lovey feeling when I go to other churches.
  It should be personal to you. You could try a few churches, and you may find one that you love. But if you don’t then that is no problem. You shouldn’t try to force yourself to love something (like a church) because you may end up disliking it even more.

  Maybe you could persuade him to do weight training - so he will be putting on the pounds but not getting fatter. Tell him he’ll look a lot cooler and everyone will admire him if he has big muscles rather than a big belly.

  You’re going to be ok lovely. It’s going to be ok.
  You don’t need to purge right now. Remember, whether you purge or not… you won’t be this full all the time. You don’t have to purge. Have a sleep, wake up in the morning and tomorrow is a new day, new beginnings.
  Purging gives you so much control - in that it is your action. It gives you so much control because all you need to do is NOT do it. Purging is an out of control action, you’re giving in in a way. Completely out of control.
  You don’t need to do that to yourself.
  It’s going to be ok.

• Don’t you just wish that sometimes we didn’t have pain.
  

  Fine.
  
  Well the last straw for me was the whole “If you’re not here by 5 to I’m going without you”. I’d told you a lot of times that if I was too much of an inconvenience on you then I could make other arrangements, and go with other people.
  You know something? I may be a *****. I may have ruined your trust forever (although I really fail to see how not being someone’s friend is ruining trust). But I would never turn around to you and say that if you weren’t at my house on time I would leave you on a doorstep and go without you.
  You could have just told me to go with someone else. But to be frank, that was the last straw and I didn’t like that thought that you really would just leave me on a doorstep and go without me.

  You really want to know why? You’re not going to like it.
