Whats the difference?

Quote From: rissa140

From reading you post it sounds like you have a problem with anorexia also! I hope for the sake of your life & family that you are getting help or are thinking about getting help because this is serious! It just upsets me to see and hear about people with this disorder! I myself am on the heavier side, close to 300 lbs and I'm 5'2, which is catergorized as being "obese". Do I want to lose weight? OF COURSE, but when I see and hear about people who suffer from anorexia and/or buliemia, I say to myself & other people that I would rather stay at the weight I am right now for the rest of my life, then be anorexic & deathly thin! Being anorexic does NOT help or solve anything!!! You become so obsessed with being thin, that you become TOO THIN and end up putting your life more at risk!!! There certainly is NOTHING healthy about being anorexic & there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING good that comes from having this disorder!!! I REALLY hope you realize the damage you're doing to yourself, not only physically but also emotionally & mentally and I seriously hope you get the help you need to break out of this before its too late!!! PLEASE, PLEASE GET SOME HELP, ASAP!!! If you or anyone else wants to talk about this, feel free to email me at Lorissa140@ aol.com!
When I reply to this, I am in no way being judgemental of you, but I do think that why you clearly see the dangers of Anorexia or Bulemia, it is as if you're not quite informed of the heallth risks of obesity. You are right, anorexia is a HUGE health risk, but obesity is just as great of one. You being 300 lbs and 5'2 is extremely unhealthy. Imagine the strain that puts on your heart. I apologize if I come across rude, just stating my opinion.

Lets modify your advice a bit and make it apply to your situation. 

  

"Being obese does NOT help or solve anything!!! You become so obsessed with being obese, that you become TOO OBESE and end up putting your life more at risk!!! There certainly is NOTHING healthy about being OBESE & there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING good that comes from having this disorder!!! I REALLY hope you realize the damage you're doing to yourself, not only physically but also emotionally & mentally and I seriously hope you get the help you need to break out of this before its too late!!! PLEASE, PLEASE GET SOME HELP, ASAP!!! " 

 

 

Your  advice is probably very heartfelt, but is mostly a search for self-justification.  There is almost zero chance that you will go from 300 lbs to anorexic.  Wanting and doing are two different things.  Since you do not try, you do not fail.  Very safe for you.  Heard about the Dr. Phil Weight Loss program?
