Hey all...
sorry it has been a while...I have been busy doing work as per usual. Anyway...basically..I have only lost 8 lbs or something..and people are commenting too much on it. I am still in my healthy weight range, but my friend thinks I am anorexic!! Why do people think this...I mean...are they trying to make me believe I am thin so I will stop this? I just get so angry at people!!!!!

Hi eminemworshipper, i'm new on this board but i wanted to respond because i'm kinda in the same boat..i'm a little confused too, my psychiatrist says he thinks i have an eating disorder..i don't think i do..i mean i'm not skinny but yet people seem to act like i am. I don't know it's wierd but whatever..i don't know what to think..i'm trying to figure out why my doc said this to me too..i'm 5'4" and 105lbs..i can't believe i just told you that but i guess this is just the internet right? it's not like anyone can see me or knows me..anyways i realize that's not fat but it's not skinny so who cares if i want to lose weight..ummm, o.k i'm talking a lot lol, just want you to know i'm w/ ya, take care. BYE!

5ft4 105 pounds is too small, you should really consider talking to someone about that. take people's comments into consideration. i am 5ft4 and far from 105 pounds, but at your smallest bone structure you should be somewhere around 120 or so from what i recall of anything i have read.

Hey gettingsmaller, yeah i've read that on the internet too about 120lbs being the base weight but it doesn't seem right to me..when i look in the mirror i think i can afford to lose more but either way i'm not really concerned about my health at all (sorry i know that's sounds really negative) but it's true. I like the punishment of not eating and losing weight..hmmm maybe that sounds really messed up to people but i do what i need to. Anyways..thanks again and i hope all is well for you.
