      They probably, LIKE YOU, spend too much time worrying about everyone else.
      That's weird I said friends and you assume I mean here. I have a very large group of friends, I'm talking a out real life, which it looks like some people need. Honestly what does my having stretched ears have to do with anything?

      someone try shedding a little bit of light because ive been trying to understand this and i just cant.

      OP, I don't believe that your post came from a bad place. Lots of work goes into studying the psychology of motivation, because humans don't always make those logical choices. (My post refers to those who do believe that Splenda may not be good for them but eat it anyway, not for those who don't have concerns about different foods being bad, because this wouldn't apply to them.) But I think you can answer your own question. You may be aware, after 14 pages, that you had a Diet Coke yesterday. :laugh: Why did you, with your beliefs on its dangers?

      My guesses would all center around short-term gratification of something (caffeine, taste, thirst.) Every time I eat a grain product, I do so knowing it's going to make me feel less well and also make me crave more sugar and more grains, which my body doesn't respond well. Every time I eat a grain product, it's because I want to satisfy some craving in the short-term and say to heck with the long-term. I succeed in resisting temptation often, but not all the time. I don't think anyone does.

      No, actually I didn't assume "here," but if they think everyone eats poison yadda yadda yadda, then they are very worried about others...

      well thats because im recovering from an eating disorder but thats not the point. that is a mental illness.
      so id i said in moderation i should drink because thats better then doing meth is that okay too?

      Honestly if youre recovering from an eating disorder then you should think about what you say before you say it. Overeating for some is an addiction that is coupled with lack of motivation and laziness. Any disorder or addiction usually has a comorbid disorderassociated . Now that doesn't mean it gives anyone the excuse to be unhealthy but I'm just making a point. You have the right to ask questions but be empathetic and mindful. Don't judge when you obviously are far from perfect. And as others have pointed out there are many unhealthy things that are in day to day life. Sun without sunscreen, unprotected sex, obese pregnancy, abortions, unhealthy relationships. Study psychology before you ask dumb questions that don't have one definite answer or use common sense . I could go on and on but I wont. Thats me on my soap box

      Seriously though OP. The bottom line is that YOU DONT HAVE TO GET IT. Just like I dont have to understand why people starve themselves, work out to the point of collapse or puke on purpose. I dont need to understand those things because those are not MY ISSUES.

      Not that it matters to anyone but me, but I have issues with junk food. I know it is bad for me and I know that I feel better when I eat healthy. Some days I care, some days I dont. Hopefully, I can have more care days than non-care days. It is a process. I have a hard time believing that you gave up all of your disordered thinking the second someone pointed out to you that it was bad.

      I don't get it either... why are people logging flouride?

      This might spawn a whole new thread: Do you log your toothpaste? How many calories do I burn while brushing? Does it just cancel them out?

      Good call. I feel horribly. You totally put me in my place. FYI-- your calling me stupid and irresponsible has worsened my deep depression, and now I'm going to have a serious complex. Do you feel good about that?

      BRINGO.

      Sounds to me like the OP is (among other things) using a logical fallacy -- appeal to nature : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_nature.

      Everybody really does have to start somewhere. The fact that they are on here and trying to improve their lives is better than just completely indulging and not caring at all. Why bother is because they know they need to make a change and this is a start.

      Again, mental illness. And yes I've been evaluated an in treatment. So your saying I should just stop and go throw up? I appreciate your consern though but way to be. but excuse me while I go throw up then because it doesn't matter what I say all anyone is going to see is ED and diet coke.

      I see much, much more than that in your posts. I truly hope you continue treatment and recover completely. If/when you do, I encourage you to return to this thread (if it's still here by then) and read what you've written. Only then might you understand why you just need to stop tossing judgments at others and focus on yourself. Best of luck.
