I've had eating problems and gastric bypass and lost 60 pounds BUT now I am [View all]
having an issue with a friend who has anorexia. For some reason her disorder annoys ME.
I am not thin but I'm not obese anymore and I actually feel good and think I look good.
I took this friend to an appointment the other day and when we talked about it she said something about "getting something quick to eat" But after her appointment she didn't want to go because she, 'Ate breakfast" It was 3PM! But I realized we were near a great Greek restaurant and reminded her that she had said we could eat.
Anyway I watched her pick at lettuce and rice and then take most of it home. And it really irritated me. It looked like she was afraid of the food. And it's not like I eat a lot now because my stomach is very small.
I realize that I might be jealous but truthfully when I think of her life I wouldn't want anything like it. She has dry brittle skin and hair and looks older than her age. She also has Chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia and spends most of her time lying in bed and I can't help but think it all must be made worse by not getting enough nutrients!
At least I am writing this on here and not sharing any of it with her. I googled it and can only find things about how anorexics create their own isolation.
Any insight would be appreciated.
