Today I watched an episode of Dr. Oz about the 'Pro Ana Movement'...which is a website (or series of) for girls who want to be anorexic and supports being anorexic. My only thought during this sad tv show...was that I WISH I could hate myself enough to be anorexic! All jokes aside...I spent some time in 7th and 8th grade on the verge of anorexia...I went a little over a year not eating much and feeling pretty awful about myself. I don't recall what happened or when exactly it happened...but I suddenly woke up one day and just stopped giving a shit about what other people thought of me. I currently weigh 153lbs at 5'3 and I honestly don't hate what I see in the mirror. On a Dr's office chart, I'm considered overweight/close to obese (I'm actually 5'2 1/2)....but in the mirror...I just don't see it. I'm (most of the time) pretty happy with myself. That positive self attitude makes it more difficult to lose weight.....in my opinion.
Do you think it's harder to lose weight if you have a positive self attitude? Have you ever had an eating disorder?
