    Please stop pretending like you know me and that just because you suffered from an ED and overcame it and that it was just so easy for you that everyone is just like you. It's a very narrow minded and ignorant point of view. I'm done talking to you because you're making everyone in our age range look as ignorant as you. User ignored.

    Sigh... to be 18 again. Congrats to you!

    And, it's still "easy" at almost 40, following your advice; it just takes more time, patience and dedication (and maybe a little more resourcefulness).

    The only problem I had with her was her blocking me for some unknown reason. I have been obese after recovering from anorexia. Too many people, myself included, make excuses as to why they can't get what they want. If people believe that I'm being rude for offering sound advice, I don't care. I type the way I type and I wish that my friends would have told me to stop whining about my problems.

    It sounds like you took an intuitive eating course! You took the power away from food by still eating what you want, just being smart about how much. Listen to your body and you will achieve success, without the stigma of "good" or "bad." All food is fuel, just some are more efficient for your body than others. It took me until I was 36 to be taught this realization. Brilliant that you picked up on it at an age where it will be a lifestyle, and not just another diet! Congrats! :bigsmile:

    What advice did you offer? "it was easy for me so obviously it's easy for you" isn't really advice. I'm guessing she blocked you because you were being rude and insulting.

    I told her to take charge of her life and not to wallow in her own pity. I said in the next post that recovering was NOT easy and that I'm not fully all together. All I am doing is reiterating what the OP said and getting addicted to the runner's high. I am sorry that write complete sentences????? I'm honestly not trying to insult anyone.

    Yes I can remember how easy it was to lose weight at 17, them were the good old days! Big high five on your weight loss. I wish what you said was 100% true but there are so many factors and more so when you get older that I wouldn't say it's easy for everyone. Easy for some, not so easy for others. But really and truly it doesn't matter how easy or how hard it is, it just needs to be done. So jealous of the ones who have it easy and so sympathetic with the ones who have a bit harder time of it but but yay for everybody who is trying.

    ^ My thoughts exactly.
    Magpie, I wish you the best of luck in your battle with your mental disorders I hope they are all as easily defeated as eating was.

    So, by admitting she found breaking her binge habits hard, you think that means she's wallowing? I would suggest re-reading the OP and then re-reading your posts and noting the differences in tone and manner.

    Maybe I've just spent too long in the wrong forums but to me, it sounded as if she were comparing the severity of our eating disorders. I have had to deal with not feeling "good enough" because I had EDNoS and not anorexia or bulimia. There is a sick comparison of EDs. That is what I took from her post and I apologize if I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

    Physically it is real easy. Mentally it can be very hard for some people. If you're 17 it's a lot easier than when you are matured and you've had bad eating habits for a longer time.

    So you should pat yourself on the back for realizing this so early on! Will make it easier for you in the future! Good luck maintaining!

    ^^This!

    I was going to say "easy" for some people isn't as "easy" for others. But this is a better explaination.

    Congrats on your weight loss!

    Magpie, I owe you an apology. My words were quickly chosen and snippy. I don't like when people conduct themselves that way on the forums and I should show the same restraint. I don't feel personally that any of this is easy and I do wish you success.

    Yes. Because it can be difficult to maintain good habits when experiencing periods of stress. Hopefully you will have plans in place for when you get older and experience them yourself.

    By the way, you seem to be saying you're 17, when this site is 18 plus for a reason. And not just because us oldies get irritated having to read abbreviated text writings.

    Well done on losing the weight. Maybe we'll see you back here when you're officially a grown up, but if not, don't forget your own advice.

    Wow! Jealous much?! What a nasty thing to say! I'm 36 and I think he is on the right track and has done an awesome thing! And what is up with the "abbreviated writings" comment? I think someone peed in your Cheerios!
