The Evolving Face of Eating Disorders: Not Just White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, Adolescent Females

[@herbieshine1312]

Thank you Edit. I've been obese to some extent all my life. I've managed to lose weight a few times but as soon as things became difficult again in terms of mental health and particularly loneliness, I've resorted back to binge eating. The trill of eating all you want to of no one being able to hurt you while you binge is an incredible feeling. Unfortunately in the process I've become more lonely and isolated and learnt to hate myself for my weakness and not being able to stop myself. I don't see hope for a future, this Christmas has again shown how empty life is. Just me and my cats for Christmas day. Feeling like an absolute failure for not having children, my own family worthwhile life for myself but food is always there. Always a comfort and a companion. I wish I could know what real life was like but I see no hope of that. Just the taste texture of food is all I feel I can trust. It knows me and won't lie to me or leave me or not understand when I need understanding. I'm fascinated by this discussion and thank you

What see says about men and muscle is me fr. However, I don't want to be oversized; I still want to be small, but lean. I find that I work on my shoulders, gluts, chest, legs, and arms looking to make them bigger, but I still want a tiny waist. Again, it is more about looking and feeling lean rather than competing with Mr Universe. I feel extremely conscious of the fat on my belly more than any other part of me.
