Ok where is that padded cell when I need it? I warn you this is an angry rant… and I am also very tired….
Ever since I posted this entry I have been having people coming to my site, through search engines, and many of them contacting me for more information… I know I can very well either just delete that entry, ignore these people and/or just don’t give a damn…. The thing is that I do give a damn… I also know that these people will continue surfing the net, looking for someone who will give them what they want… So why don’t I just give them the information they want? Do you really need to ask? If you do read on and be sure to click on the “more” link at the bottom…

I spent two #$% hours today trying to explain to a young girl that she does not want to be anorexic… Come to think of it… why the hell didn’t I tell her to go away and leave me alone? Oh stupid me didn’t want to offend her! Yes … offend her! I really did/do feel bad for her… but I’m pretty sure that she will just go and look for someone else who will tell her how to starve herself so she will lose a few pounds… or someone who will tell her how to throw up… She seemed determent to me… No matter what I said…

Yes, I admit I go to forums that have been labeled as they are promoting eating disorders…. but that is not how I see these forums at all…. I see them as a place where I can let go of my frustrations… I already know all the tricks… This young girl I talked to today wouldn’t get much out of going to these forums… she is a “wannabe”… and “wannabes” are not welcome… We don’t teach people who to slowly kill themselves….

…”nothing like that is going to happen to me”…. those were her words…. Oh please… get on a diet… stop eating candy and food that is high on fat… eat healthy and move your ass… Don’t wish for a disorder…. Be careful what you wish for it might come true…
