Obese or Anorexic?

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

hmm, ill get back with you on that one in a month xD

[kikimm]

If you're naturally very thin, that's different.

[Miriel]

Anorexic, no contest.

I hope that doesn't sound like I want to be anorexic whoops.

There have been many times when I have admired anorexic girls for their determination and will power. I know if there was a bunch of eggrolls and spinach artichoke dip, sitting in front of me, I wouldn't be able to resist it, no matter how fat I thought I was. Mmm.. food.

But yeah. I'd choose anorexia. Much easier to cover up anorexia than it is to hide obesity.

[Freya]

I'd go for obese. At least then how I got there was eating what I wanted which would have made me happy. When if I was anorexic I was thinking how everyone else was thinking of me and hating myself for looking that way. Eventually I'd be hating myself for being obese but at least it would have been a happy trip to get there.

Not really. There's a lady at the hospital where I work who lives in teh nursing home. I went to school with her kids. She's around my moms age and has anirexia. She looks like skin and bones. but... not even bones. Her bone mass is breaking down and her face is liek sinking in. She hardly eats and refuses medication most of the time. It's sad and she looks so horrible. Seeing her everyday makes me wonder how anyone could say they'd rather be like that then be over weight.

Obesity can be much healthier than anorexia remember being obese doesn'
t mean you're extraordinarily overweight just overweight. There's not that much danger of being 15 pounds obese than being anorexic which means you definetly have to be underweight since you're not eating. I'll go with obese oh and gaining muscle can also make you obese as well so you don't have to be fat. At least with obesity I won't be mentally corrrupted and won't be able to see my ribs.

I thought that that was exactly what obese meant D:

Well, seeing as how I am currently drastically underweight (about 5'11, less than 110 lb) I would take anorexia because I know from experience how bearable being underfed is.

I would never, in a million years put up with hundreds of punds hanging from every inch of my body. No. Way.

Actually, obese does mean that you're extraordinarily overweight.

[Momiji]

I thought about lying, but I won't. I would rather be anorexic, because I'd enjoy the attention. If I were obese, I'd feel even more worthless and unwanted then I do now at my current weight.

I feel the same way.

No, obese means you're drastically overweight.

Ugly and unhealthy is ugly and unhealthy no matter which way you cut it. It doesn't really matter to me.

[Anaisa]

Anorexic. If you don't go too thin, your face can still look normal. That's not the case with obese people, an their many chins.

I've dealt with both. I was obese for a good portion of my childhood, then went through a stage of anorexia nervosa (or "manorexic," as they put it) as a result of the constant ridicule. Within a few short months, I lost 75 lbs. (35 kg.) as a result of severaly limiting my caloric intake and over-excersizing. Several people have tried to reassure me that my body appearance is perfectly fine, but I have either pushed them out of my life entirely, or simply disregarded their advice. This includes a few members of my own family, who I no longer speak to as a result of all the conflict. Still, I feel that I need to push myself further. I have managed to calm down in recent months, but the bad images always linger when I come close to a mirror. To make matters worse, I've been anemic these past few years as a result of my poor diet. There are times when I can't even stand up for fear of passing out, as my blood pressure is just too low from iron deficiency.

I wasn't happy when I was plump. I'm not happy now. I've concluded that either way, you're just doomed to be miserable with yourself. Even if you overcome something, the mental image of it is still a part of you for a long time to come. So, I guess the answer is, "it doesn't matter."

That was taken as a direct link from your m-w.com link. As you can see, the medical definition of obesity means to be excessively overweight.

I'm good, kthx.

ashley don't be a dumb. If overweight and obese were the same then such as BMI scales wouldn't put them at different levels. Dictionaries just don't like to offend the people who buy them.
