I don't think its bad for you unless you develop a eating disorder
Pretty sure that would NEVER happen to me. I love food too much! But being anorexic one day can't hurt could it?
that's not even funny.
I have an eating disorder and one cannot just " be anorexic for a day "
and we don't just not eat. we eat, just not very much. it's also about the mindset, not even the food.
ugh
Sensitive are we? I'm sure it was just a joke....lighten up
yeah. Ok i'll just lighten up because joking about starving yourself and becoming anorexic for a day is SUCH A FUNNY THING OMG HAHAHAHA!
I starve myself and have become sick and effed up in the head, It's not funny and it's nothing to joke about.
I think it is so funny!!! no matter what kind of qestions,remarks or advice anyone asks on here there are always going to be the people that have nothing better to do than try to give their pitty parties, rude comments or whatever else....if you are going to comment just answer the questions and give your advice on the subject. geezzz some people are jut way to sensitive....I'm sure you have NEVER told any fat jokes or made fun of someone because they are weird...probably had a mental disorder.....JUST SAYIN!!0 -

Actually I NEVER have made fun of someone or called them fat.
Having an eating disorder is a MENTAL ILLNESS.
So you people think it's ok to make fun of people with mental illness's?
Would you go laugh at someone who's has schizophrenia or depression?
IT'S NOT FUNNY.
I needed to say all of this because people NEED TO KNOW THAT IT'S NOT OK FOR PEOPLE TO THINK EATING DISORDER'S ARE A JOKE OR SOMETHING TO LAUGH ABOUT.
I'm also talking from personal experience.
I'm not " sensitive " I'm actually just upset that people take eating disorder's and depression so not seriously. that's disgusting.0 -
The fact is there are 7 year old kids with anorexia and a lot of people die from anorexia. In my personal opinion being fat is not the same as being anorexic. To be fat is the equivalent of to be thin, which is not the same as anorexic or bulimic. Mental disorder or not, I have one of my own, but anorexia threatens your body and life on a daily basis if you are terribly into the ED. I understand the OP meant no harm, but I also see why it would upset someone who went through it because it is like making fun of cancer. Would that be funny too? If so, maybe you are the one who needs some guidance, just my opinion.I don't think its bad for you unless you develop a eating disorder

I NEVER SAID IT WAS FUNNY BTW.... i was saying it was funny about people givng rude comments0 -

I doubt you were. No one with anorexia just parade's around to show off there mental Illness. I'm actually ashamed that I have one and would never want to just go and tell people.
You probably self diagnosed yourself, right?
I was in the hospital because I was thin and wanted to DIE.
Mental illness's ARE NOT FUNNY and shouldn't be joked about.0 -

The best advice I've gotten is just go back to normal eating at the very next meal. In other words, if I went to a brunch and went wild, I should still eat dinner as I normally would (about 350 calories minimum). Otherwise, as has been mentioned, you are at danger of getting into a starve/binge cycle. Nobody wants that.0

No one parade's around to show off there mental illness huh?.....and what is it you are doing??.......no not self diagnosed...was not trying to start a fight...just can't seem to figure out why people on here are so harsh about things....never said they were funny...I guess i just don't take things so personal...oh well.....hope you have gotten the help you needed for yourself and hope the best for you.0 -
This is true about what it makes you feel like, but some anorexic people also are thin because of only self image (wanting to be thin). I am not one to mind parading any issues around normally, but I have exceptions. You don't have to feel ashamed because you are only human like anyone else. Im sorry youre so upset. xoxoTBH i used to be anorexic and i know how it is but i am not going to be rude to people just because they make a VERY harmless remark

This is getting silly. Some days I eat 1200 calories, some days 3000+. No ED, my body wants want it wants. If I get all my nutrition in what does it matter? You all eat what you want, my body is not in some static state where it needs the same amount daily. Do I punish myself by eating less the next day? Nooooo..homeostasis doesn't work like that.0

Like everyone said I guess its weekly average that matters but look at it this way, you came home and ate a pizza....can't say you've being the only person to do that, you didn't eat anything else that day, so maybe just eat cleaner the next day, still getting your nutrients and move along
. I've had this myself sometimes where I do indulge, i may be out with friends get cupcake for lunch or my housemate gets a fruit cake....different things crop up and I end up maybe eating a bit more than I would like but I guess this is normal, we are human, yes some of us may be on diets or trying to change our lifestyles but remember to live a little too, yea we want to be healthy and fit but being too hard on ourselves can completely counteract this in the long run. 0 -
Sorry, but that is like making fun of dark skinned people and then a black person getting mad and me saying "don't take it personal" er what? She has anorexia and if someone is making fun of the topic it does the same to her in a way. I understand the not everyone perceives it the same, but from my experience it is a struggle.I don't think its bad for you unless you develop a eating disorder

Hmm my friends with eating disorders joke about them a lot. They say its a coping mechanism to deal with something that's a really big issue they struggle with. But not everyone deals with things in the same way I guess.
yeah.. eating a normal amount and then " fasting " by not eating the next day or eating a little? that's called being disordered. I used to do that.
If one eats to much one day they NEED to eat the next day.. just not eat a bunch of horrible for your body food
Sorry but that's not true and it is not an eating disorder. You're body doesn't work on a 1 day cycle. If you eat too much one day, it is perfectly fine to keep your calorie count low the next day. Many people in the scientific community refer to this is intermittent fasting and they even go as far as to say it's healthy for you.

Gee this thread has totally gone off topic lol.
Back to the topic, no it's not bad but it's not a good mindset to have to make up for your "bad" day yesterday by eating very little today. Just go back to your normal diet, and 2000 calories in one day is not a big deal.
Oh and as for the eating disorder comments, I agree with not to take this so personally. Some people don't understand how horrible it really is, and so you can't really expect anything more from them. It's the internet, people make fun of everything, including illnesses. I am diagnosed with an eating disorder... oh hey they made fun of eating disorders and... I don't give a crap. What they think has nothing to do with me. Besides, I don't think it was mean, they didn't pick out someone directly, it was a broad "joke".
Okay, that is all ;P0 -

Being on a plan where you fast for some period and indulge during some other period is different than overindulging and restricting--the mindset is completely different. I don't think you can really equate the OP's plan to someone IFing.0 -

If she's posting on a public forum about how she has an eating disorder and is complaining about people joking about them--then yes, it has become the entire online community's business. Hasn't it?0 -

Intermittent fasting rarely works for women. Yeah, I can provide all the studies and research if you'd like but this sums it up for this board. http://www.paleoforwomen.com/shattering-the-myth-of-fasting-for-women-a-review-of-female-specific-responses-to-fasting-in-the-literature/
Yes, it's paleo/primal...I'm not. But that doesn't negate the experience of many women. When USF starts keeping me in their research groups I might look at it differently, for now...no. Different hormone levels, I am not the same as a 25 year old boy. 0 -

Well actually, the rules of this site do specify that no pro-ED behaviours are allowed. If she's using it to worsen her eating disorder then yes people here can take issue with that. Also, are you supporting her for keeping her eating disorder? I'm not saying you are pro-ED or she is, but encouraging an eating disorder is essentially just that.0 -
Okay, here is the prospective of an old lady. Yesterday I went over calories by around 700. I had the new McDonald's CBO chicken sandwich for dinner and then a pumpkin milkshake from the same place later in the evening. This morning my weight was up nearly 2 pounds. Obviously I didn't eat 7000 extra calories, but there was carbs (way too many for the entire day--330 total). While I know this is not weight that is going to stick around, it is still disconcerting. But....today I am eating normally. I'm not going to eat 700 less calories to make up for yesterday. When you have a day that is out of control or way over calories I think you just need to stick to the plan the next day. I've been counting calories for over 4 years and have lost 80 pounds. Not every day is going to be perfect. I still eat pizza, ice cream, and ???? But not every day and things have a way of balancing out.0

I cannot believe one little thing can set off so many people.
I do NOT make fun of people with anorexia, bulemia, or any other mental illness or eating disorder. It was a bad judgement call on my part, and I apologize for anyone that I offended with my comment.
However, if you see something you don't like, or offends you, why bother to comment? If someone said something that bothered me, I wouldn't get all up and arms about it, I would just let it go, because lets face it this is the internet and someone somewhere will say something to piss you off and offend you. Are you going to yell and ***** in EVERY post because someone says something you don't like or agree with?
I asked a simple question, looking for a simple answer. Not to get people upset.
To those with the positivie advice, thank you. Today was a much better day. 0 -
I don't think its bad for you unless you develop a eating disorder
Pretty sure that would NEVER happen to me. I love food too much! But being anorexic one day can't hurt could it?
that's not even funny.
I have an eating disorder and one cannot just " be anorexic for a day "
and we don't just not eat. we eat, just not very much. it's also about the mindset, not even the food.
ugh
here we go
sorry but people who make jokes about eating disorders make me sick. I HAVE ONE and it's nothing to joke about or say " omg i'm going anorexic for a day (; "
just no.
just stop.
This doesn't seem like a good site to be on if you have an eating disorder...0
