Reply #26: yah i think some women do this as cover for anorexia [View All]

[pitohui]

it's a socially acceptable way to cover up their eating disorder, they don't have to eat in public if they can say they're vegetarian/vegan and they can't be sure that what you're serving or what the restaurant is serving is "pure" enough

when i was more into bulimia i would still eat stuff but then throw it up, like THAT'S healthy? all kinds of stomach acid coming up to rot your teeth and esophagus???

people who can only eat the purest of raw foods can't travel, can't eat at the work place or at social events, and so on, it's a crippling handicap to be on a restricted diet, and when women "voluntarily" restrict in that way...i can't help but wonder

sometimes it's obvious from their bodies/appearance that they have anorexia

on the internet, i can say, GET HELP, but in person i'm too shy and i figure it won't do any good anyway, they KNOW they have a problem, but just like the addict, if they don't want it enough to seek help i can't get help for them
