    My fav is "You can't out-exercise a bad diet." I love to work out, it's the eating I struggle with!

    I love that quote! I also love "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!":happy:

    Both quotes are anorexic mottos.
    I don't support either.
    I will live to eat AND eat to live. They're not mutually exclusive. I will enjoy my food as it nourishes me.
    Cake tastes pretty damn good. So does sushi. Skinny feels different for every person, it's not an automatic happiness ticket.

    Have I told you lately that I love you? because I do. And I agree with all that you said on this.

    Yup I was thinking the same when I read the quote! Pro ana quotes are not what I like to live by.

    While I agree that they might be interpreted the way you said, I think the meaning of these quotes depends on what a persons PoV is. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels can be interpreted as pro-Ana however its also a way for somebody to remember that that cheesecake you wanna eat is not worth it. I certainly don't wanna live to eat. I love to eat and considers food to be one of the best things in my life however it would be a very sad day in my life if I todl myself that I live to eat.

    Cake tastes pretty damn good to you but for others, having a goal weight feels even better.

    You sound like a smart woman however you're twisting quotes even though you know that they're not meant to be pro-Ana. Also you're trying to force your ideals over others. If they wanna be skinny in a healthy way, I don't see anything wrong. Any there is nothing unhealthy about not wanting to live to eat or reminding yourself that the X-Large pizza you ordered might taste good right now but feeling your goal weight might feel better.

    "You are not a dog...do not treat yourself with food."

    Best one I heard.
  • When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

    Best one on the thread.

    ^^^^Anyways. I am NOT and will NEVER be anorexic. I do not support anorexia or anything like that so I guess what it comes down to is that I mean those quotes in a very MATURE practical way. Thanks for ur opinion tho.

    People take the word "hi" the wrong way on the internet....

    ARE YOU CALLING ME A STONED OUT HIPPY?

    No, I am simply acknowledging your existence and offering a salutation to coincide with that.

    ARE YOU CALLING ME STOOOOOPID >?

    No, I am calling you intellectually challenged.

    This is terrific - thanks for sharing. Fear of success holds a lot of people back (myself included).
