    It annoys me too. I also hate when people add "-orexic" to the end of things and make up words. It takes away from the fact that anorexia is a serious mental illness that people die from, it's not being skinny or not eating enough.

    This is not even all about that post. As i said it;s about people calling MY FRIENDS anorexic
    so thanks:D

    That's just jealousy of the person who is calling them anorexic maybe
    exactly. it's offensive and could be very offensive to actual anorexic people

    I thought you were leaving?!

    cough*troll*cough

    leaving now because people are clearly getting touchy and I cannot stand babies


    Imgaine that! I thought your post was so positive and uplifting. Wow... some people......:flowerforyou:

    Little hint: This is a public site with people with varying degrees of weight issues. A rant that ends with calling people fat will cause a surplus of negative reactions. You are entitled to your opinion and to express it but there are better ways in doing so. Better luck next time.

    your talking about people using the word anorexic and hurtig your friends feelings how do you think it makes people on a weight loss site feel when you use the word FAT in the way you did it was clearly meant as a insult to those people calling your friends anorexic so you clearly think little of overweight people ,,,, i just dont understand how you can be soooo against name calling and then do it yourself within the same post

    it is class-less ):

    I DO NOT think little over overweight people, that's just stupid I've been pverweight my whole life I'm still overweight my best friend is overweight my ENTIRE family is overweight
    It's me SAYING that calling someone anorexic just because they're thinner than you IS NOT RIGHT

    But the way you went about saying it was rude and demeaning. You could have come in here been calm, cool, and collected, explained yourself well in a polite way, and gotten a much different response.

    Rudeness is offensive. Also, being anorexic isn't "bad name" it's not the most insulting thing to call a person. Do you think so very lowly of people with eating disorders that you find the thought of it OFFENSIVE? Interesting fact, we're people, just like you. We have a condition/disease/disorder, but we're people don't, don't make it sound like we have the freaking plague.

    Then you should know better than to use the word FAT in a derogartory way especially when usuing it to support your argument that name calling isnt right wether someone is using the word anorexic or fat if its used to put others down its just wrong

    You can't be so blind that you don't see calling someone fat is just as bad as calling someone anorexic. You are now exactly the kind of person you are ranting about.
