Skins - How to avoid eating

[@saramuresan9305]

Having an eating disorder is tiring. Your body is constantly hungry, constantly hating yourself, and lonely.

@@gaugea it depends. It does work with Cassie because even tho everyone knows she has an eating disorder she said most of the people around her don't really seem to care about her. And it depends on who is the person you're trying to trick, if it is a random person or someone that really cares about you. if you're not known for not eating you can pretty much succeed with this technic but that's different for people that already are known as people who don't eat anything or people that have an eating disorder, this way people pay more attention and is harder to trick.

@@princesscaty6251 I'm sorry you feel that way, and I can relate. I felt the same while I was still growing. It got easier for me as I grew older and learned how to firmly stand up to the part of myself that hated my body. Trying to beat my body into submission with unhealthy diets like your friend worked for a while but resulted in so many other complications. When I finally started treating my body like my child, understanding that it has to be loved and gently coaxed into good habits, understanding that it will take time, I finally started to see the results I wanted. :) so all the best, and I hope things turn out well for you eventually!

[@theresac6131]

These comments are painful. LISTEN this scene isn't about wasting food or her accent. If you want to see a video about world poverty and food waste SEARCH IT. This video is about an eating disorder and a very sick girl. This is a beautifully done scene that shows how she gets away with not eating because no one cares enough to notice or do anything about it. Its supposed to show the extent of her sickness. Other people with the disorder may draw parallels from their own habits and help them see how bad its gotten.

being forced to eat isn’t any better at all. it makes me gain weight like crazy, gives me binge eating disorder ( which i’ve had for about four years now ), and it’s only encouraging me to throw up my food. being forced to eat sucks and it doesn’t make us lucky. most of the time parents only care about “not wasting food,” so it’s not even always about parents wanting us to be well-nourished.

to all the ppl struggling with body image & disordered thinking in the comments- pls do not go down this path. pls pls pls. do not romanticize or glamorize eating disorders. if you think "oh well I know when to stop. I wont let this take over." you're wrong. it will consume you. Ed's arent all sunshine and rainbows and pictures of pretty, skinny girls. Ed's are standing up and almost passing out. they are feeling so *weak* and *tired* and *hungry* and *cold* all the time. they are sacrificing every hobby, every relationship, every bit of your identity that isnt your weight. they are counting every goddamn calorie and constantly checking yourself in the mirror. and it will *never* be enough. 10lbs will not be enough. 20lbs will not be enough. you'll hit your goal weight and then set a new one bc *its never good enough* . not to mention, you'll eventually gain *all* that weight back, *plus* more, bc of how slow your metabolism is. either that, or it will kill you. maybe not in a year, maybe not in 5, but it will. not to mention all the health complications if you do recover. it will fuck over your entire body and entire mind. it is a miserable way to live and a miserable way to die. *do not do it.* for gods sake, dont sacrifice your entire life for some stupid ass beauty standard that treats our bodies like trends. if you really want to lose weight, do it in a healthy way. workout, cut down on junk food, drink more water. most importantly, work on self love, no matter what weight you are. you are so much more than your body. pls believe that. you deserve to eat. you deserve to be happy and healthy and confident. you deserve to live❤

Alright, look. I’m going to be honest: when you work real hard at this, as if it’s some kind of hobby you’re picking up, it’s amazing. The weight flies off and you feel this sick sense of pride. I felt great at the time. Flash forward to adulthood and I’m laying here, stuck in bed (again), just wishing I could participate in my own life. I long so badly to experience real joy again, not the joy I thought I would get out of being small. I know that sometimes it’s easy to idolize things like this. I’m sure nobody asked for this lecture, but please just try to be open to the message. I’m here because I was desperately searching for videos on how to get quick nutrition to try to make it to something very, very important to me in the next two days. It’s not going to happen. This popped up in the suggestions and I couldn’t help but revisit this little scene that I once found inspiration in. It should devastate you, not motivate you. The comments are so unnerving that I just wanted to weigh in, even if I’m screaming into the void. Please just keep yourself safe. This only leads to a lifetime of emotional agony and physical torture. Speaking to a younger version of myself that I see in some of in the comments: I need you to choose yourself. Life is always going to be full of miserable periods. There’s nothing you can do to change that. But you know what it’s also full of? Beautiful, magical, breathtaking moments where you learn about why you’re here and what you’re made of. Those moments are worth it, I promise. But you have to choose to love yourself enough to let yourself live them. If you don’t, they’re gone forever. And to end on a blunt but very real note, some of you will die doing this. I’m sorry that you couldn’t get the help you needed. You deserved so much more.

[@hollywhite3034]

This is a great statement. I've been 'better' for about 8 years yet I still hate feeling full. I've gained some weight recently and I feel like a failure. It's from medication because I'm working on myself but it's just there in my mind always. A few years ago a mom was shaming her very young daughter behind me in a food line, she actually said "don't you want to be pretty and thin like that lady" she meant me. I almost turned around and told her what I used to do to myself and how I haven't forgotten or forgiven my parents for acting like this. And I went no contact a long time ago. Sorry for trauma dumping I'm under alot of stress and it's been 4 days. Going to force myself to eat today

Last year I overheard this girl at lunch saying she only ate a small meal for dinner and no other food besides that. It actually made me question if I eat too much so I started skipping breakfast and only eating an apple for lunch, then going to work out for 2 hours at the gym after school, causing me to get really dizzy and have bad headaches. When I would get in the car my dad would ask me if I was alright and I told him I was fine. I kept doing the same thing for a few weeks until one day when I told him that I just ate an apple for lunch everyday. He told me that I can ask him anytime for lunch money when I need it but I told him it wasn’t about the money I just wasn’t very hungry. I was average weight for my age but for some reason when I would take a shower or look in the mirror, I felt ‘fat’ And you know, I still think the same thing today. The only thing that has changed from then to now is that now I eat more than an apple everyday now and I’m proud of myself for at least doing that.

[@Seaweeedle]

You could really mess with ur metabolism as well as growth, if u starve urself at a young age. Depending on how young you are you’ll lose and gain weight naturally due to puberty. But overall your mind tricks you into thinking your weight matters to those around you, like you’re some elephant taking up space in a room of mice, and the only remedy is to eat like how You think mice would eat. Well as long as you’re not obese, it really does not matter to anyone. Just eat healthy and portion your junk food. It’s honestly better to give your body the energy it desires, and not all calories or bad lol, not all food gives u like instant fat. Theres worse things happening in life than you being 10 lbs overweight, and you start to feel stupid eventually that you let something like that stress you.

@@tatianabaudean1633 dumbass. How do eds develop then? Those are early stages of anorexia.

[@Phosophor]

@Tatiana Baudean you kind of did assume that this person doesn’t have an eating disorder. you called their comment “disrespectful not only towards people who are battling an eating disorder, but also to the ones who have lost their lives because of it” which would imply that the commenter didn’t have an eating disorder, but was wishing for one (and I’m going to note here, that this person could have body image issues, people picking on them because of image, actually have an eating disorder, or be taking medication that gets rid of their appetite). You went on to ask the commenter “would you look into an anorexic on the brink of death’s eyes and go ‘oMg My PaReNtS dOnT lEt Me gEt Up UnTiL mY pLaTe Is EmPtY’ ???” Which is ridiculous to say to somebody who may be dealing with something like an eating disorder, because first of all, most and hopefully all anorexics would never want another person to go through and ED. Second of all, this person might already be skipping breakfast and lunch high would mean that dinner is probably not exactly *fun*.

[@Phosophor]

@Tatiana Baudean also even if this comment makes EDs look “desirable”, it’s also a concerning comment and should be replied to with something more along the lines of “I understand how that feels (only if you actually understand). It really sucks to feel that way, but you can’t hide this. if you constantly skip meals then you will end up malnourished and possibly in the hospital if it gets really serious. Please talk to somebody who can help you out. “ this may not be the complete best response, but full on shaming is definitely not the move.

Cassie’s story broke my heart I just loved her.

[@abbya.4043]

For the last year I've been stuck in a binge purge cycle. If you include myself using exercising to purge its been over 4. However, in the last 2 weeks I've kicked vomiting and been using the gym. Thanksgiving rolls around. I lost all my progress. I just hate feeling this stuffed. I just eat like its an addiction. Its all I think about. Its like one part of me is set determinedly on losing weight and the other is just this mindless all consuming creature with teeth. I know once I go back to college and hit the gym again ill be fine. I know I'll have a gym membership for December so the holidays won't be as bad this year either. But I'm watching this video and mentally taking notes, preparing myself for times when I must eat around family or with other people at a time when I don't want to eat. Food is a social interaction. When you get an ED you lose people. You lose yourself too. You isolate yourself because food truly is a social ritual that triggers other social rituals. They build on top of one another and when you cut off food, one day you find that the you curled up in the corner of your mind is now the you on the outside, curled up in the corner of your room. I'm trying to get better. I truly hope that I won't ever feel like I need to use this. For the people just arriving, thinking you can control this? You goddamn can't. You think you'll do it once? Maybe you won't again for 2 weeks. Then you'll try again and again, lying to yourself and thinking you know what you're doing--that you can stop at any time. You can't. Not by yourself. You get sicker and sicker unless you reach out and even then its a long journey. Don't go down it. The best decisions are the ones that don't have immediate rewards. If you want to lose weight, work for it. Go to the gym. Eat healthy. Be around people who want to improve themselves so that they can be happier and stronger, not just to impress others. The people I wanted to impress are gone now. What I did pushed them away or made me realize they were toxic. Find people who want you to flourish. Please. If that doesn't change your mind then know that I'm very close to developing an ulcer after just one year. Eating is painful and yet I continue to do it. My stomach fills with acid and air, burning my esophagus and my intestines. I lay on the floor in pain for hours. I go to bed wishing I could never eat again, not because i want to lose weight but because it hurts. Its agony. My teeth, which used to be one of my favorite things about me, are going. Its been less than one year of this disease and all its done is making everything nightmarish. Please don't go down this path. For those of you already on it with me? I wish you the best of luck. There is happiness coming soon. It lies in our choices. Choices become habits and habits become life styles. Its hard. So fucking hard. Just know that things do add up. Make enough good choices and we'll make it out. Best of luck, all.

I am so so so grateful for this helpful video. I had to attend a dinner with family members whose idea of food safety is that it doesn't matter. I had to watch one relative (who is being treated for clostridium difficile) slice meat and lick their fingers, placing the meat on a tray to serve others. I knew things would be bad like they've always been, but this year i needed a way to eat NOTHING and still seem "normal." Thanks to this video I had only water for Christmas dinner and nothing else. No one even noticed! I did the food cutting thing, cutting into in normal size pieces, the extra talking, the giving of food off my plate to someone else, all of it! Worked so well! I had zero appetite after all the different unsanitary behaviors of the cooks in the family. And please note, everyone present knew about the c. diff. infected person and watched everything happening and didn't care one bit, even though they all are beginning to be experiencing symptoms as well. I came home to wash all my clothes, clean off the spores, and to just forget about eating anything for a long time. All I can do is pray I dont get it, but with the help from this video at least I avoided one transmission form. Thank you, thank you!!

This is just a reminder to anyone struggling to keep going! Recovery is so painful, and everything in you wants nothing but to fight it, but I promise you once you make it to the other side you’ll be so fucking happy you did! As someone who recovered from an eating disorder that years away from my life, I know it’s so fucking hard, but eating disorders slowly kill you inside until there’s nothing left but pain and numbness, with food being your entire life. Recovery is hard, but once you make it out you will finally start living your life again! YOU CAN DO IT! you are stronger than you think, and so much stronger than this wretched illness! it is never to late to start, and if you decide to recover right now. Yes, right now, than you will find joys you never would have felt had you not made the decision to recover right now. You have the power to make your own path, and don’t let this parasite take another second from the life you can be living soon! One of happiness and joy and LIVING LIFE AGAIN! I know it’s hard. I know can seem like recovery is so scary and so far away, and that it is always better to just stay sick. But please, take it from someone who was in your place, watching this same video hoping to be her, this life is so empty compared to what you can make happen through recovery. You CAN decide to make recovery happen, and the joy you feel after you do is feels unimaginable now- but it is true! YOU HAVE THE POWER OVER YOUR OWN LIFE! And think about where you can be a year from now if you decide to make it happen! From one stranger on the internet who went through this pain to another, I believe in you, and you’ve got this! The first step is always the hardest, but just keep fighting because you’ll never know the beautiful life you can be living if you don’t. You’re so strong. Don’t surrender to this disease that is stealing you life. You can take your life back. It Is possible, and If it feels like no one else does, I believe in you. You can do this. Keep fighting back. You have the power. You’ve got this❤️❤️❤️

As someone who might possibly have anorexia (I’m not sure but I used to have binge eating disorder for sure and now I have a fear of eating at all) and I can go a LONG time without eating, it scares me how easy it honestly is to get away with it. I haven’t ate lunch in front of my friends like AT ALL not even like pretending to just straight up nothing in front of me sitting and waiting for lunch to end. All I’ve heard a couple of times was “hey are you going to have lunch?” And I always just answer “no I am still really full from breakfast 😅” and literally nothing else was questioned from all the times I didn’t eat. It’s not like I want the attention and concern no not at all it’s just like- how? How do you not see? I mean I’m glad they don’t but it just shows how careless we are to the people around us and to obvious signs such as literally not eating many times during times meant for eating. My mom notices my eating problems and she asks me to eat more but it’s literally so easy to get away with a “oh ye I ate some of the cottage cheese in the fridge while you were gone” and then nothing else is questioned. It frustrates me that people don’t care to pay more attention it honestly does…
