    Ya know I've never had someone take a dump in my cereal two days in a row before but it really must suck. I feel bad for you msvalorie I think I would be mad too. But it's sad that you still don't understand

    The goal range is low. Yes
    My goal is higher than before. Yes
    My goal is a range. Yes

    It's a mental disorder not a choice

    So don't get your panties in a twist because there are 40 other numbers between 80 and 120

    I might stop at 118 for all you know

    do what you want. i thought your range was idiotic though. it's certainly a choice to post on your profile what your goal weight is.

    I don't see my weight as healthy. 140 might be good for you but not to me

    BMI doesn't really matter since people's body structures are different

    I meant it's in the range of healthy. It's healthy. It might not be ideal, but it's healthy. I started at 140 too and agreed that it's not ideal. That's why I decided to lose weight. My point was to have a goal from a healthy (but not necessarily ideal) weight to an unhealthy weight doesn't make sense.


    It "doesn't make sense" to YOU because you are not HER, and you are not dealing with an eating disorder like she is. If it made sense and everything in her brain was working perfect, it would not be a DISORDER.

    A lot of people struggle to understand that EDs are mental disorders and not a superficial desire to look like a model. Yet if you ask an overweight person why they can't just eat less the response is always "easier said than done".

    Some people are simply predisposed to EDs and were going to develop it at some point in their life regardless of their surroundings. I developed mine before I was 10. No one that age chooses to be that way and I certainly didn't want to still be battling over 16 years later. What's sad about MPF is because others are so judgmental those with EDs stick together and that can be very triggering for some - seeing each others' food diaries etc.

    I hope recovery goes well for you and you find the support you need.
