No #'s PLEASE! - Eating Disorder Recovery Message Board

Running Queen · 10-20-2001, 06:12 PM

Hey Everyone-

I really enjoy reading everybody's posts. I think they help me as well as a lot of other people. But could I ask for something? Please don't post your height, weight or any kind of numbers. They really set me back and I think it is hard for others to see what other people weigh. To tell you the honest truth, I feel fat when I see someone my height who weighs less then me. Then I start restricting my food again. Please help me recover by not posting #'s. Thanks everyone!

Love, Jen
PS- I'm not mad or anything. I just think it's a good idea! I love you all!

Hi Jen.
I think that's fair enough that you don't want people to post their heights/weights.
I guess for some people it is just sort of reasuring when they can tell others about that sort of thing, and not be embarresed over it. I know it gets me down when people weigh less then me but I also know that it is not a compitition between us. We are here to support each other, not to see who weighs the least.
PLEASE don't let other people's weights get you down. Hope your recovery is going well.
