Exactly. I suffered from Anorexia for about 8 years or so... and the last thing I did was announce it. I went about my daily life, and I would always dress in layers so that people couldn't tell how thin I was. The last thing I wanted was for my disease to be known. I wanted to fade into the background and be left the fuck alone. I was rarely in a good mood, I was depressed, and the only good feelings I had were probably from the euphoria of starving myself. I lived on 300 calories. I counted everything, even gum. None of this "it doesn't count if you don't remember, teeehee!!!" bullshit I see from these "obese anorexics". It was hell. I had lanugo, I was constantly freezing (especially in winter, I lived in NY) I would dirty plates and put them in the dishwasher so my family would think I ate during the day and was just "too busy with school work" to eat dinner with them. I was never on MPA (I don't even think it existed in '04) but I was on LB Forums and that was the only time I would discuss my disorder. These hams that run around "reeeeeeeeeeing" about their condishuns and how they are just sooo incredibly hungry but can't eat, are full of shit. No anorexic runs around flaunting their disorder and fishing for compliments. Fats will never be taken seriously because they're a joke. Nobody believes you are anorexic if you weigh 400lbs and are talking about eating donuts. There is no such thing as "atypical anorexia" and its so fucking annoying listening to them make up these fake struggles they constantly talk about. They have no fucking clue how terrible an ED is, all they see is the weight loss and the concern that comes with it. Not only are these obese monstrosities insulting, but they're dumb as a rock if they think anyone is going to show concern for the 5 foot nothing 350lb lard bucket claiming she hasn't eaten in weeks.  Sorry for the rant, but this infuriates me to no end.
