Anaphobia
Posted by Thingirl in Weird on Sep 1st, 2010 | 7 commentsI might be a bad person, but i have a complete phobia of people with eating disorders. I think that being so thin is the ugliest and most vulgar thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t look at them without being ill. I’m not fat or even chubby. In fact due to my metabolism I’m closer to being too thin than overweight, but the thought of being thin terrifies me. I get worried when people compliment me on how thin I am. I hate being told I shouldn’t have image issues because i’m under 115 lbs.
I got incredibly sick once for three months when i could barely eat and i dropped down to 85 pounds. After I got healthy I couldn’t shower for weeks because I couldn’t handle seeing myself naked.
I sound insensitive for saying this but I cannot fathom how anyone finds that level of thin attractive or empowering. Am I the only one that feels this way?

I totally agree, I find it kinda repulsive too. I do have kind of a valid reason though, I was sexually abused by two women in my life and both were super-skinny so I equate skinny people (especially women) to be ugly, mean and just generally yuckky and discusting
its the same way for us who have eating disorders, we get repulsed by those over weight. it happens.
I’m the exact same, I hate seeing how thin I am and I constantly try to eat more and more until I can’t manage to put anything else into my body. I eat many times throughout the day to get that “after dinner pouch” because it’s the only time I feel OKAY about myself. I hate shopping for clothes because the sizes are always smaller than I think I should be. I’m aiming for about an eight size pants or dress (Canadian) but I’m stuck to a two, and when I’m incredibly lucky, a four..
But you have to think, a lot of girls envy me, they can’t look at themselves either when they go home. And the girls that starve themselves, I kind of relate it to how I force myself to eat more and more. Just the oposite. With any bone I see or feel I eat more, with every piece of fat (or as the case more ususally is; skin) THEY see they feel they starve more.
We’re all just sick, and trying to feel better.
I feel same way. i am a guy, 5’8″ 175 lbs. people tell me I look great, but do not. I do not like other skinny people who think they look good either. It is just gross.
BTW, I am also Canadian.
it hurts to see these because i hog out everyday because im skinny and people call me annorexic and i cant believe that theres people out there that thing this is what i am, if onyl the new how hard i try to get fat.
I know someone who will try to eat and gain a little weight but cant because of his matabolism and this person is under weight and no matter what this person does it doesnt seem to affect this person in anyway and I feel really bad for this person as well to bad though sometimes its hard for people to lose weight or gain weight and thats just how it is but when I see super skinny poeple I just want to say to them hey try going to mcdonalds and eat lots of fat or when I see overweight people I just want to say hey try exceersizing more and eating less fat foods or fast foods and eat some salad or something healthy like that its just sad what the world is coming to now a days and I hope people start realizing that they need to improve on there selves and then go into things like relationships instead of worrying about there appereance and who they think will think there hot and sexy and start worrying about their health.
Some people can’t help being fat just like some people can’t help being skinny…… I hate my body and tell myself I’m hideous at least three times a day…. I am sixteen and I weigh 160 lbs….. I realize I have an over sized chest and muscle but I still think im huge and it makes me hate myself…. My sister is skinny and beautiful and I have always been jealous of the way clothes hang on her body…. But now she is too skinny and I have a boyfriend who is the same way as u are: he hates skinny people they make him gag although he’s skinny himself….. I never understood how he could think fat was beautiful…. When I thought skinny was so much better…. Now I realize it’s ok to have opinions…. There isn’t anything wrong with you for not liking thin people :) just make sure you’re healthy and happy :)
