I Did Not Freakin Post @ Thinforum!!!!!!

AlexiaRenee-

I am from the thinforum-I am sorry that all of this got so screwed up. I think that whoever found your picture and posted it over there made an honest mistake. It is clear to me at least that the two of you are obviously not the same person.

But I also would like to point out that not all of us are "immature teenagers with nothing better to do than throwup." I am 24 years old and yes I am bulimic-I am not going to deny it but it is certainly not because I have nothing better to do with my time.

Just wanted to clear that up and apologize for the mix-up--I am sure that it is pretty frustrating having your picture associated with someone you don't even know.

Classy of you to appologize. I hope your in treatment of some kind. My heart breaks when I see pictures of women hurting themselves, even killing themselves to look like a false ideal! Men do not like stick thin women(generally) any more than women like the pro body builder look(again generally).

I admit I had tears in my eyes seeing some of the pics over there. What I find truly sad is the encouragement gleefully dosed out as if it's a healthy endeavor. It is not. I see the pain in these women and girls eyes, and it breaks my heart!

Needleboy-

I just did not want her to continue to be upset at whoever copied her picture although I do understand why she was pissed.

I know where you are coming from and at least for me--it is not all about pleasing men--there are so many deeper issues for most of us over there. I just get sad when people make jokes about it or say that we are stupid for doing this. Most of us know it is not the best thing but it is like any other addiction. Could you stop bodybuilding? Probably not and you would not want to-right? Well I guess that is just how we feel too.

Thanks for your reply.

Well what can i say except thank you for apologizing..
Susan knows it is not me, but she claims not to be able to delete the thread (BS)......

Heck yeah I could stop body building- the idea of eating Pizza and Chicken Wings while guzzling beer sounds really good to me!

My bodybuilding is a hobby that requires discipline, and effort. It is not driven by a psychological copulsion. I do not wake in the morning motivated by fear and longing, but by a sense of control!

Please seek help, and encourage others to do the same.

The womens board here is awesome, and if your body image is a problem for you, those girls know their shit!

 

[wlibbe]

I too am filled with a sense of control. It is a great feeling isn't it?So are you saying that you could give up your regime of eating right and lifting to just laying around all the time-eating junk food- and getting fat? I doubt it. Just to clarify-what we do takes tremendous discipline and effort-but I won't get into all of that again--Warlobo already tried to challenge me on this one a while ago. I think that your views on people with eating disorders is a little skewed but whatever--that is why we have the forum--because non-ED people just don't get it. I appreciate your concern and there is no point in us discussing this any further because I don't preach recovery to people but thanks for your comments!

Take care!

i always fantasize about just not caring anymore-like skipping all my sports practices,not going to the gym,not running,and just sit at home and watch like friends(havent seen for about 2 years now)and eat anything i want-without feeling guilty or caring.i always think about donuts,or cheeseburgers.but then reality hits me-and i could never quit my lifestyle.i have worked so hard to be where i am now-and i cant give it up for some 10 minutes of eating..

Hi wlibbe

 

[wlibbe]

Hey Starfish!!!!

P60-I totally agree with you about E.D's not being easily cured. In my opinion if someone truly has an eating disorder and is not just trying it temporarily for a diet (like lots of teenage girls)--then of course there are deeper psychological issues at hand that may have nothing to do with body image. The other thing that makes bulimia hard to stop is that anytime I try to take a day off and give my body a rest--has not happened very often--my body won't let me. I can't digest food---PLEASE. So there is no easy way to stop---my body feels better when I am purging everyday-if I try to stop it just gets worse. I have come so accustomed to it that I can go and have an intense workout with my personal trainer on no food all day and be totally fine. So I guess my question to you is how do you see the damage if you don't really give a shit about it?
