Absolutely Disgusted by grizzbear

Just venting real quick. I just read this article (http://www.returnofkings.com/21313/5-reasons-to-date-a-girl-with-an-eating-disorder) and was extremely offended. I may not look like it but I had an eating disorder for a while. I refused to eat much of anything other than something small that would keep me from passing out. While the entire article is a disgrace and just awful in general, I find that it's also implying that everyone who has an eating disorder looks like nothing but skin and bones. This is far from the truth. I'm overweight which is what caused my eating disorder in the first place. I'm uncomfortable with my weight and my body as it is and I'm constantly reminded why I SHOULDN'T be comfortable with my body. I'm not insanely unhealthy. I exercise, play sports, eat my fruits and veggies, yet I'm still my weight. I'm not up to society's incredibly impossible standards. You cannot possibly tell who has an eating disorder and who does not unless you are a trained professional who gets all up in everyone's personal space. I really just can't get over how disgusting this article is. Not only is it bashing people or triggering relapses of those who have eating disorders who might be trying to achieve these "goals" if that's what you even want to call them, but it's also putting a HORRIBLE name out there for men. If you want to be a healthy weight OR even be better in bed, go out! Do cardio! Exercise! Eat right because not eating does nothing for you but make you sick, I've been there. Being sick does NOT make you better in bed. I'm still extremely shocked that something like this was even published. Sorry for the rant, this article just made me absolutely livid.

    I am reading through the comments and I find it utterly sad that some people are calling this rubbish a Satire , i'm siting here like "What are you kidding me " even if it is a "Satire" so to speak that does not make this okay in the least e_e I mean gawd.
