Being 'Fat'

[The Don]

What? Sorry. Who are you? LOL

That's Kyle, He's been here for over 5 years, can you remind me who you are?

Ugh.

I AM 5stone
I AM 5"8

Why the hell would I want to pretend to be anorexic?
What you're accusing me of doing is pretty disgusting. I am in no way showing off? I mention my weight in 1 post to prove a point, then everyone starts raging at me.
All I am trying to do is defend who I am and not let people like you make me feel like rubbish.

You should just accept who and what I am and DEAL WITH IT.

i've been lurking in this thread for the last few hours and i feel i need to weigh in (see what i did there). i doubt you're 5 stone. infact i'd bet against it. if you are you'd 1) not be on habbox 2) be in hospital 3) not want to parade around the internet disclosing your weight and height to people. i have family who have genuine eating disorders and it's upsetting to see people who want to draw attention to themselves regarding their weight, moreso if they're lying about it.

Coming from someone who has spent every year of his life struggling with bulimia since he was thirteen, I can say that you claiming to weigh five stone is not only offensive to us as a forum but also a stab at the community struggling with eating disorders on a daily basis. By pretending to be a weight you are not - which it is clear you are, sweetie - you are trying to get some sort of shock factor or glamorous feeling from all of the attention. You clearly enjoy arguing and pretending about it because you have been posting over and over with obvious trolls or lies - I can't tell which - for ages.

Let me share something. I am about 5'10" or 5'11" depending on who measures me. Let's say that I fall somewhere in the middle. At my lowest weight I was 7 stone. I couldn't function like a normal person. I was literally a victim of my eating disorder. It was only a couple of days before I was sent to an eating disorder inpatient treatment program. Nothing was comfortable - sleeping, standing, sitting - it all hurt my bones. I am no longer this weight now thanks to recovery programs but I will forever live with an osteoarthritis-type condition that makes my bones sickly because of the damage I did.

I will recap. Me, someone who has been struggling with bulimia nervosa for eight years. My lowest weight was 7 stone, two stone more than you weigh and enough to get me sent to the hospital without any prompting. The doctors insisted upon it and I was not let out for a very long time. You are two inches shorter than me, weigh two less stone and seemingly live a normal life? No, I call bigtime troll or lie on this one.

Just thought my input would be a bit eye-opening. Please don't act like being malnourished or underweight is something to be proud of. Eating disorders are, indeed, the most lethal of all psychological illnesses.

Saw your pictures at PAPOY and you don't look 5stone or 5''8. If you are, then tbh you should be dead by now. At first, you make yourself sound normal with 5stone and 5''8 but now, you're saying you're anorexic? The muscle size or bone size will definitely not affect that much. Oh and even if I'm not a doctor, that doesnt mean I'm an idiot who knows nothing about our body.

I agree with the above post also seeing the picture that bethie posted of the 5'6 girl thats 5 stone,
im certain you aren't 5stone and tbh I dnt even think you're 5'8, from your pics in papoy it looks nothing like it

y'know really i think this thread should be closed cause we're all falling into the trap of giving attention to someone who obviously thinks it's cool to lie to get attention, but that's unfair on ben who had a genuine query and was honest (well, almost) with his weight and height.

Then think I'm being silly?

Its my weight and I like it so ya know.

5ft8 and 5 stone and you like it? You need professional help... However everyone here has kind of proved that you're wrong anyway so yaknow

[Vause]

My Mum is 5ft 5 and she went down to just above 5 stone during her divorce. She was SO ill, and after seeing that I find it almost impossible to believe someone can be 5 stone and healthy.

I don't really know why a person needs to lie about their weight. Yeah it might be for self confidence or whatever, or for attention idk. Personally I am overweight, by quite a bit. For the last 2/3 yearsI'vebeen comfort eating or just eating to pass the time, but I don't want or need to lie about my weight because I'm happy with the way I am now. Yeah I could do with losing a bit of weight, and i've been going for walks and swims to combat it and I've lost a stone and a bit, its also built my muscles up. Another way is athletics, that is amazing for 'toning up'. For those who want to know, I'm about 6ft 1 and I weight about 14 stone (which is awful but yeah)

I've also seen how eating disorders affect people, and how horrid it is. I can't understand why a person would need to make up they had such things or to weigh in this case so little. It's a bit like people faking to have mental illnesses to get out of trouble or to gain attention, well lying in general is for attention seeking purposes mainly. Lying is a nasty little bugger, and it will only make you look silly and lose respect of your peers.

I tried to answer the thread in my little paragraph, I hope it makes sense and Ihaven't like made comments useless to the thread aha
