Why do people think im anorexic?

So lately people have been asking me if i have an eating disorderr, im 5’10’’ and weight 190 lbs! I mean really? Im nothing close to having an eating disorder, i think it might be because ive lost almost 50 pounds this last year, but i worked really hard to accomplish that. I mean it just makes me feel bad, but why do these people think this in the first place?

Answer #1

maybe bc they are jealous, if the people saying this are overweight, then i would believe they are indeed jealous of the fact that you lost a lot of weight…. and maybe they cant….. but you shouldnt care what people think or say about you life is too short…

Answer #2

Jaes, congratulations!!! It’s not easy loosing weight on a healthy program like you obviously must have. Eating less and exercising more. That is a program that is healthy - but difficult for some to try in today’s instant-gratification take-a-pill-to-solve-your-problems world. So people assume that you must have tried the ‘fast’ way - i.e. anorexia. Don’t let their attitude get you down. After all it reveals THEIR mind set.

Be proud of yourself, and know that you have learned a skill set that will help you maintain a healthy life-style.

Again, I say kudos!!!

Answer #3

Hoorah for YOU!! :) Depending on the people asking, what their motives might be. A mom might be worried, a heavy friend might be envious….Don’t let anybody sabatoge your hard work getting healthy….don’t allow them to make you feel bad…say exactly what you’ve said here…”What? It took a year to lose 50 lbs, and now I’m at 190”…ask me that if I get down to 100 lbs…”
