for those of you with an ED, is there a point where you will want to stop, or is it just an ongoing thing, no matter how thin you get?

Dont take my questions the wrong way. I'm just curious an am no judging or anything like that.

BTW, I know it's psychological
and I also know that is why I'll never fully understand it, but the only way to gain any type of insight is to actually ask these questions.

you know in so many countries they would look at that woman and honestly think she's medically sick in some way.

when i see the first girl, i automatically zone in on the fatty parts
you never see yourself as being a nice shape, you always see the fat. it's a control method, and you're a success when you lose and a failure when you gain regardless of your current weight.

They see themselves differently... it's psychological.

i'd say we start off wanting to be like the first girl and some people just get carried awy and go to far.

Well when you have a ED you don't look at yourself thin even if you are very thin they still think they look fat and disgusting. Thats part of the disease so they when they are that thin they think there beautiful

the point of my eating disorder was to physically watch my body wither away. disgusting, but true. it was never about achieving that ideal weight.

it's over now.
