bulimic
wow 1st
I’d rather be bulimic.
Both are ridiculously unhealthy, that said, what are their personalities like? You didn’t give me enough info. I’m not shallow and don’t judge or choose dates based on appearance.
That is horrible. In fact, I am so disappointed in you that I can’t even come up with words to describe how sick this makes me.
I’d rather be obese. I hate throwing up and I loves me some food.
I’ve been bulimic. It’s not fun. But honestly..I’d prefer it to obesity. I guess that’s lingering effects of the bulimia, maybe.
Obesity in the extreme like that is just nasty. If given the choice between these 2 photos, I would choose bulimia. A sad thing to say, yes.
Neither.
I can’t stand throwing up soooo I guess it’s obese
i would rather bulimic.
soorrry
I’m unsure of the health hazards of bulimia, but I know obesity is a bitch to your heart, so bulimia it is.
There’s no 3-way option?
bulimia.
bulimic definitely. ill feel uglier being fat
wow.
yeah, i’d choose bulimia over that. i don’t think i’d be comfortable.
Can I just add how unfair the pictures are,
you have a majorly overweight person in one, covered with candy bar wrappers and stuffing cake in her mouth, which is an extreme, and then for the other you just some bony legs and a toilet, I don’t think they are on the same level at all.
I can’t even believe that you would ask this question, Dan.
As a recovered bulimic I can safely say I’d rather be neither. Neither are healthy, and both have extreme health risks involved.
That’s a hard question to answer. I would say the bulimic girl, mainly because I would hope I’d have the will power to stop binging and purging. It’s just a guess…but from what I put together, I think bulimia is slightly less stressful on the body. Not very much, I know. Obesity leads to heart problems, diabetes, and all these other things that puts you on medications the colors of the rainbow. Bulimia, if stopped before too much damage is caused, doesn’t seem as bad to me as a case of obesity that severe. :X
I rather be bulimic
@LyricallyCharged - For the record, bulimia is probably an even bigger bitch on the heart.
Bulimia. It’s easier to gain weight than it is to lose.
@FreeeVerse - you suck. learn to answer a fucking question.
neither.
I hate to admit it, but I’d rather be bulimic than obese. :
a new low
@QueenOfOreos - why bother commenting with that answer?
@nodiadau - Because I can.
I have the right to comment whichever way I want. And besides I didn’t like either choice so why would I want to choose either of them?
well, since I’m technically obese, I’d rather be obese than be bulimic.
Bulimia girl. I saw a video online in which some cute bulimic coed repetativly drank water and puked it until her stomach was completely cleaned out. A bunch of guys who commented on the video said things like “Man I want to date that girl!” as though her habit was a relationship bonus. Neither of these are wholesome options though. I would rather date a girl who manages her appearance by healthier means.
where’s the option to just not eat????
@QueenOfOreos - that’s the point of the question, retard. everyone would prefer neither. therefore, saying neither is totally pointless. waste of fucking space.
Well, if I could CHOOSE, then I’d probably choose bulimia…but apparently it’s not up to us to choose our disorder, and I think it’s obvious which end of the spectrum I live in. :-/
Both are unattractive and unhealthy, so I’ll go with obese. At least I would be able to enjoy my comfort foods without sticking my face in a toilet and having vomit breath afterward.
Bulimia. You can always make yourself not thow up and eat healthy.
Obesity: You can’t lose alot of weight. It takes time.
as someone who suffers from bulimia, i’ve already made that decision.
@nodiadau - hahaha waste of space indeed. By arguing over my answer you are wasting space too.
Kinda funny that all these people say bulimic – Maybe you guys should research what happens with Bulimics. Trust me.
I would rather be with an obese woman.
@fallen_into_decadence - Exactly, I’ve seen both first hand. They are both horrifically unhealthy and can ultimately kill you.Just the picture is disturbing, it’s like he wants people to say bulimia. Shame.
@QueenOfOreos - go fuck yourself.
Both are extremely unhealthy. But I feel like obesity is a little less harsh on the internal organs. Bulimia can lead to the actual rejection of food by the body, becoming an actual physical problem instead of only mental.
The question is a bit moot since they’re both such extremes, so most would be a bit vain and choose bulimia. But if it was simply b/w bulimia and obesity, I’d choose obesity.
@nodiadau - I’m not quite sure why you’re being so antagonistic. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it doesn’t “answer the question.”
I would rather have bulimia and be skinny.
@nodiadau - And that is all you know how to respond? lol You are a dork.
@tigerdauphin - That is just him. Lol.. I prob should have answered it. But I love being the opposite at times.
@tigerdauphin - Well I think he does it on purpose.Just to see if he can get on other peoples nerves and upset them. But you are right there is no need for the name calling..but I just called him a dork..so I guess I can’t speak. haha. Oh yeah he has a problem..jsut can put my finger on what it is….lool
@QueenOfOreos - I’ve seen other ppl’s comments on other posts before and how they didn’t “answer the question” but I’ve never seen one with so much anger before. Name calling and cursing… no need for it at all. I curse too but I don’t do it every other word. Some people just have so much problem LOL.
bulimic for both.
For the record, bulimia doesn’t make you deathly skinny – it’s a common misconception. When paired with anorexia it’s much more likely to become the typical ‘stick figure’ (not that I’m condoning it. It’s hell).
I’d rather be obese. Tastier.
Neither.. But.. I have been in both situations. Well, not the same exact situation as the woman in the top photo. lol Even while bulimic, I never ate an entire cake… lol I’m obese right now, and still have trouble with the eating disorder past, which – by the way, can lower your metabolism and cause you to GAIN weight after a period of time! *sigh* Anyway, i’d rather not have either obesity or an eating disorder to worry about.
@tigerdauphin - die in fire
I would rather not be either. They are both conditions of excess, and sad, sad conditions indeed. Both are dangerous for your long-term health as well. There is nothing that would break this tie of awfulness for me. Neither.
@LiquidityOfSelf - exactly what i was going to say.
so if this is a question of vanity, you could certainly still be bulimic AND overweight. it’s not like bulimic = skinny.
just sayin’.
obese. the other seems way harder to cure
Ya know…I’m really, really can’t come up with an answer. Well, besides kill myself.
@nodiadau - I’m a tiger born in a fire year so not much chance of that, at least not like the way you’re referring, lol.
hmmmmmbulimia
obesity means i can’t do much and probably too heavy and out of breath!!
Neither, both photos make me wish I was a drug-induced kate Moss.
Oh Ok can I say …bulemic?
Obese. You can recover easier from it. Bulimic is a mindset more than anything else, and that’s the hardest to change.
Ugh.
Eh, I’ll pass on the dating thing.
I’d rather be bulimic. I hate throwing up food, but I hate being judged, looked down upon, not fit into clothes and not being able to walk further than the distance from my room to kitchen MORE and I severely don’t want the condition where the only thing I can do is bitching about why appearance doesn’t matter and those skinny girls are just shallow sluts while the reality is I’m just too fat and it’s too late to fix things now.
Both of them are slavery by food, but at least by being bulimic we can pretend to be in control, not like being obese.
this is really sad. as an ex-bulimic, i choose neither.
I’d rather exercise for 6/10 hours a day than purge my food thank you very much.
That obesity picture is really extreme…
But I’ll rather be bulimic. I think it’ll be much easier to recover from that than losing weight.
That’s a totally unfair question wtf. You can’t answer that.
@DommieDisaster - Such a great point! I totally agree with you. It’s biased.
I think you’ll find that the girl in the photo representing ‘bulimia’ would actually better represent ‘anorexia’ (binge/purge subtype). But as usual those with little/no knowledge of eating disorders take it upon themselves to demean and degrade the illnesses which take lives and make misery for so many without even bothering to educate themselves first.
As others have commented, and I will re-iterate (seeing as it apparently doesn’t seem to get through some folks heads), For a diagnosis of bulimia you have to be ABOVE the weight at which you would be deemed anorexic. If you were BELOW that weight you would be diagnosed with anorexia (binge/purge subtype). Of all the disorders anorexia (b/p) has the highest mortality rate. Bulimia also has a high mortality rate, electrolyte disturbances can cause sudden death and suicide attempts, both failed and successful are prevalent among those with this disorder.
The girl in the photo representing ‘obesity’ is an unfair and very poor representation. I ‘ve friends who are classed ‘obese’ and qute frankly, they barely look overweight. There are a alot of people who simply don’t realise they are obese, but according to the bmi reference, they would be!
And lastly (sorry for going on but it’s an issue rather close to home), for some of the respondents to claim they’d rather be bulimic than obese because they can ‘choose’ to give up the bulimia smacks of more overwhelming ignorance on the subject. Please, do a little research and you’ll realise that this just is not the case. I suggest that you are being swayed by the representations being used here and in fact are making your decision based on vanity rather than any other real basis. Eating disorders are rarely, if ever born out of vanity.
This question is pretty much null and void as far as I’m concerned. It uses sensationalist tactics to comment on a subject which is never so black and white.
If anybody would actually like to read about the realities of living with bulimia (I’m diagnosed anorexic (binge/purge subtype) if you’d not guessed, but spent the first 8 of 16 years of my disordered life with a bulimia diagnosis and tbh will always feel more bulimic than anorexic) please feel free to drop by my site and have a read through some of my posts (though they’re interspersed with ratty tales too!). Eating disorders impact every area of your life.
OK, I’ll get off my soapbox now
bulimic
this is low..
I’d prefer to be the fat lady and I’d start a diet.
@Paul_Partisan - lol
Bulimic. Obesity scares me because it’s like: how do they move around?
But yeah, it’s a hard choice because both would hurt me, my health and the people around me, one way or another.
So this doesn’t mean I want to be bulimic – but if I had to choose, I’d choose that.
@DarkDestiny666 - I really liked your comment; I thought it was thoughtful. But I’m just wondering, wouldn’t you agree that bulimia involves a major lack of will-power, too? I have never been on any end of this spectrum, so I can’t measure it, but I would imagine it’s the same amount of (lack of) self-control and will-power that would lead to such extremes, either way. But actually, bulimia, I imagine, would involve a sort of positive will-power, in a way – a will to be something, and to try your best to get there. But yeah, it’s a lack of self-control, too, I think, in that you become a servant to the disorder and you only act to fulfil it.
Interesting stuff.
I just thought I’d add that to your comment.
But I picked bulimia, too, because I do think it’s less severe on the health than obesity. I don’t know for sure, but that’s what I thought.
I would rather be bulimic.
bulimic ! the other thing’s just sad . . . I truly feel for the people who suffer from those things tho T ^ T <<3
I would pick bulimic although they are pretty much equal in my eyes.
bulimic, for suuuuure.
bulimia.
you die either way. If you’re bulimic might as well be pretty for a while.
ermmmmmmm…. bullimic =S
wow. I find it funny how many people choose bulimic vs. obese. Really? Then why is our country filled with obese people, and not walking skeletons? When it comes down to it, people would rather EAT than vomit. And with that, I’d choose obese, but hopefully I’m not bedridden obese.
I would rather just someone normal, which can most times include both.. People don’t always stay the same.
Peace
I’d rather be bulimic.
Appearance-wised, I would choose to look bulimic than obese.
well, have behaviors of both, neither one is fun. too many health risks for bilimics. other than just the complusion to eat and throw up everything, there’s a major psychological reasoning behind it. obesity, depending on the reasoning behind it depends on how serious it is psychologically, but more than anything it’s mainly a physical condition, and that is easy to fix if you decide that’s what you want to do.
with that said, i perfer to be bulimic, but then again, i’m in a purging stage right now.
thats a hard question…..
well i definitely dont wanna be obese. but i dont think i will do so well as a balemic. im 5’6″ and weigh 117lbs. i wouldnt last a good 2 months. lol.
Obese. Both require rehab and a lot of work, but bulimia has too many other consequences that I know all too well from this existing in my family. The consequences I can think of offhand are very poor dental health to the extent where your teeth can have large pits and lots of cavities, esophageal problems, I believe this can cause the beginning stages of osteoporosis, heart damage and a layer of hair all over your body if you lose enough weight. Yeah, I’d rather be obese…
bulimic, of course.
Yeah, no.
Having done the whole ‘eating disorder’ thing in the past, I can’t decide. On the one hand, everyone would know your struggle with food and on the other hand, it’s just you and your struggle is more private. Hmm.
bulimic :/
Neither really does it for me, both need help and immediately…we as a society often choose the lesser of two evils and everyone loses in that case… we need to be helping all, not just what looks like the easiest for us to tackle. That and real attraction is much deeper than a photograph.
You’re asking, assuming fucked-up-ness, would one rather date (or be):
(a) Ugly
or (b) Pretty
I think it’s a fairly easy question to answer.
2 … and UGH.
I would much rather suffer from obesity. Bulemia is a mental disorder. =/
@saintvi - Ahahaha, this mini is priceless.
Neither.
If thosewere my only choices I’d go gay.
well.. I am fat. So.. I would rather be bulemic any day of the week. As a matter of fact, if I wasen’t such a pussy, I would make myself throw up and lose this extra 70 lbs I carry around with me. ha.
@nidan - always taking the easy way out.
According to my doctors I already suffer from obesity.. I’d rather barf.
You sure pissed a lot of people off.
But what I don’t understand is why they’re yelling at you about their own personal choice to have been bulimic in the first place..
I think I’d rather be bulimic, obesity is a lot harder to get out of it looks like.
Most of the bulimics I’ve met were ‘recovering’ and not nearly at big as #1. They were classed as merely overweight or even ‘normal’. Talk to an adult who has survived and recovered from bulimia! Bulimia kills! Do you really want to date someone with a serious illness that can kill her? The cake-eating, morbidly obese person is also in need of help, but her danger is far less. Her problem is in the open and seen by all, but instead of giving her support, most people just make her feel feel worse.
My preference would be to get help for both of them.
@ShimmerBodyCream - Everyone dies. Not all obese (>20% over ideal weight) people are sick. Some overweight (<20% over ideal weight) people are far healthier than skinny people. My grandfather, for instance, looked like Santa Clause for most of his adult life, and yet he lived to be 105. Bulimics die in their 20s.
Can I say none?! LOL
Is that an option….
obese. I love food, and I hate puking.
and I love my teeth. I wouldn’t want to rot them out with all that vomit. yuuuuck.
The obese person is probably happier emotionally. They aren’t concerning themselves with weight, and enjoy food to the fullest. I don’t think I’d want to be either, but I’m deathly afraid of throwing up.
obese…i hate throwing up
bulimic
Given the two circumstances, and females should in no way take these comments as an affirmation of a diseased mindset, I would take the bulemic girl. I would be afraid that I would become obese if I coupled myself with someone who was obese.
This is so sick. Not only the question, but the dumbass girls answering that they would rather be bulimic. Bulimia is harder on the body than obesity for the sheer fact that the body isn’t meant to throw up food and the laxative abuse, the self-esteem issues, and your heart is at risk just as it is if you are obese. Plus losing weight is easier than recovering from a fucking eating disorder.
apart from damaging your throat, bulemic
I told you that pic of me was for your eyes only!
My roommate is bulleimic. It’s stressful enough for me and I’m not the one suffering from it. That said I would have no desire to be obese. In both situations the persons life is ruled by food (eating it, throwing it up, not eating it, thinking about it, trying not to think about it, looking at it). And that is so incredibly sad. So I am going to cop out and choose neither, I would rather be happy.
@Broken_Stargazer - You don’t just damage your throat, you damage your brain because your body doesn’t get enough of all the nutrients it needs on a regular basis. You also damage your heart because your potassium levels are going up and down all the time. Bulimics are at high risk of heart attacks, higher than anorexics.
@Loser_Lizzy - I wouldnt say that obesity is harder to get out of. I would say it is on a level with bulimia, if not easier. Bulimics surround their life with food, eating is a way of coping with any difficulities in their life. The moment they get stressed they stuff themselves with food and then feel guilty and throw it back up. The day becomes completely about food, either eating it and throwing it up or trying not eat it or trying to only eat a bit. It is so incredibly difficult to get out, mainly because once your day has become all about food and you try to remove that aspect, what is left? That can be a terrifying thought.
I would rather suffer from “slight” obesity than bulimia. I’m technically “obese” at 180 pounds… I’m also healthy at that weight, and besides looking a little chubby (mostly ass), I’m not unattractive.
If I must choose, I’d choose bulimia. Although eating is much more enjoyable than throwing up, I would prefer to be skinny rather than obese.
bulimic ):
bulemic.
I’d date neither and be neither. I’d rather be single and dead. :-p
I’d prefer if I was neither, but I would rathe be builimic. Because it’s easier to loose weight than it is to gain.
i use to enjoy your posts, dan
Wow, Dan. You were really bored today weren’t you.
My gut reaction, as in if someone said I will kill you if you don’t choose. I’d choose bulimia. Even the purging kind of bulimia. I’d rather die than to be as fat as that woman.
My honest reaction is neither. Neither is healthy physically. The woman in that picture got that way b/c she over eats (trust me I know that picture is originally from a feeder/feedee site) for whatever twisted reason. Neither one is healthy mentally. I wouldn’t want to be either one of them.
Bulimia.
@LyricallyCharged - bulimia can deplete your electrolytes which leaves you susceptible to organs shutting down unannounced. It ruins the enamel on your teeth and damages the lining of your esophogus. This much I have learned and that’s enough for me to say it’s a very dangerous lifestyle. That said, both are incredibly dangerous.
Lol i dont actually know how people can say… I am bulimic so i would obv say bulimia cause i couldn’t stand being fatter then i am, infact i cant stand being as fat as i am now… Im 5ft7 and 118lbs… and i ahev been purging so mcuh recently my heave mechanism is down and i couldn’t tonight… I cried…
I dont think you people saying ‘bulimia’ understand what it actually is.
And yeah, apparently it is a bigger bitch on your heart… I hope i never have first have experience of that
Neither. I don’t date chicks who eat more than I do, and I don’t date chicks who I could snap their bodies like twigs.
i’d also rather bulimic.
though i am not obese, i am overweight, and it bothers me each and every moment of my life.i envy the willpower of bulimics.(yes, i do understand how terrible bulimia is. just saying.)
Bulimic. It’s more socially acceptable and I’d be thin.
Bulimic- because it is easier to hide.. to pretend to be normal.
It is strange.. more than half of the people said that they are or were either obese or bulimic during their life..
bulimic
The pictures in this throw off the poll, because being bulimic doesn’t necessarily mean someone is thin. There are plenty of obese people that are bulimic actually. Bulimia is a shit cycle of binging and purging, whereas obesity is being overweight whether from bad decisions, genetics, or a combination of the two.
I’d rather be obese if it was from just bad eating habits, because then I could exercise and eat properly to get to a normal size. Bulimia has a whole lot of consequences that could make it almost impossible to ever be “normal.”
Newsflash, most bulimics don’t look like the girl in picture.
I say her. Because she’s doing what I am, but clearly, she’s better at it.
I almost have a mind to ask my boyfriend this question…
@chantyshira - Isn’t that sickening?
@mangotini - THANK YOU!
bulimic…
@Uek - Agreed.
bulimic.
@NoMoreThinSpos - I’d like to ask mine the same. AND I’m with you and mangotini.
a Bulimic chick stuffs her face as much as an obese person, then makes herself throw up all what she just ate back out her
esophagus/throat/mouth whatever you wanna call it
bu·li·mi·a
<li>
An eating disorder, common especially among young women of
normal or nearly normal weight, that is characterized by episodic binge
eating and followed by feelings of guilt, depression, and
self-condemnation. It is often associated with measures taken to
prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting, the use of
laxatives, dieting, or fasting. Also called bulimarexia, bulimia nervosa.
<li>
Excessive or insatiable appetite
Fuck that. Im fat already anyhow so it dont matter.Id choose Obese.
i’d choose bulimia because once i recover, i can eat all i want.
whereas, if i were obese and had to recover, i’d have to diet.
my love hate relationship with food D: i enjoy eating food but i hate it when its in me. thats why its great in small portions. mmmm. bulimia. it just sounds so much easier to recover from. well, considering that i don’t get too far into it.
I’m selfish.
Bulimia for me.
I’ve seen what happens to over-weight people when they get sick & die. It’s not a pretty sight.
I’d rather be bulimic, in a heartbeat.
Between those pics I’d chose bulimia. But those pics are so unfair. The obesity pic is a huge extreme and then the bulimia pic isn’t even that bad! And you barely see any of the girl anyways! Unfairrrrr!
@LyricallyCharged - I believe you can get a heart attack as early as in your teens with bulimia (all depending on how early you start, how much you do it, and the toll that your body can take), while obesity tends to kill you more in the long run. Plus, you wouldn’t have any teeth after a while of throwing up so much. Not to mention, your esophagus erodes.
Those photos are both to the extreme. I’d rather be overweight.
You don’t have to be that big to be obese and you don’t have to be that small to be bulimic, even if you might WANT to be that small.
I’d choose obese. Food is good.
I love how you’re stereotyping. Men can be obese and bulimic, it’s just not as common, but while I think it’s a little sexist to just ask those two questions, those questions are completely insensitive and rude to people who have suffered/are suffering from those two things.
I’ve been anorexic its no fun and I too this date can go without eating and could easily go all week without eating much of anything—the question is astonishing that you would ever ask something like this.
bulimia.. my reasons being: the effects of bulimia are reversible much faster. It’ll take yrs to get that weight off (pic #1) and unfortunately when you do, you need surgery to get the extra skin off.
I hate this topic. I am not choosing either.
I guess some guys really are shallow. Fucking figures. It’s certain attitudes like that that add to it!
So, let me just say neither. My crush likes me for who I am, even if I am a couple of pounds overweight. She thinks I’m hot so her opinion only matters to me.
would look for third option instead:)
you are so crazy with your questions.
@coffeeishappinessinacup - there are other forms of purging than through vomiting. Over exercising is one of them. There is always the argument that it is one’s career to exercise. (for example, I am a former professional ballerina) But if one is binging, that person will feel contantly fatigued and eventually health problems will kick in due to lack of proper nourishment. Just so you know…
@NoMoreThinSpos – Yup!!!
@shape_of_love - yeah I know, I’ve studied nutrition out of a sure boredom one summer & I still do from time to time for safe measure-so I know the works for the most part
thanks for the concern
I’ve always wanted to do dance myself but I never took classes when I was younger than alone now
so I’d be a utter noob
wow… it’s interesting how few males have commented on this entry.
i think i would choose bulimia though. women in general have this huge thing with being skinny, so it’s quite obvious which one most would choose.
I’d rather be bulimic.
I don’t think it’s physically possible for me to get that big.
bulimia… I think I could handle it better than I could obesity
bulimic cuz that would be the easiest to get over. if i was obese it would take forever to loose weight
I have BEEN in the obese category, though, not at all to the extent of that picture. For me, being over 175 at 5′ 3″ meant I had a BMI of 30, which placed me in that category, but that’s fine because I’m losing and now I’m in just the “overweight” category. That being said, my physical checkups have always checked out as me being healthy, but being told that so I don’t develop anything in the future, I should lose. Being bulimic, already means something unhealthy, and something that is also mentally unhealthy. I admit that my relationship with food was unhealthy, in terms of emotional eating and plain carelessness of what I put in my food – but at the same time, there are many people that do not worry about the quantity or quality of what they eat and are still in the “healthy” category of weight, but that is not me and for that reason, I have to deal with food differently.
So to answer your question, I’d much rather be obese than be bulimic b/c I think its easier to make conscious, informed decisions about what I eat, than to deal with a body-image disorder on top of starvation, in order to be healthy. Also, just losing 10% of your weight decreases many of the risks of being obese.. and it might take a while to lose, but the moment you change the way you feel about food and utilize that, you’ve still developed a much healthier mode of thinking, while with bulimia, it takes much longer to even identify that it is something you must change in terms of thinking and perception of your body. Plus, bulimia reminds me of OCD-type tendencies. I’d rather be losing weight and keep a realistic image of my body in mind than be thin and loath myself. Even now, as I’m losing, I still feel good about myself as a person. I think it’d be a lot tougher to get over the mental tendencies that come along with bulimia. In both cases its all about control, but I think controlling food and mindless eating is easier than dealing with bulimia. But then again, I say this because I’ve only experienced one end. Similarly, someone that has been thin their whole lives may argue that they’d rather be bulimic, b/c at least that relates to them somewhat. Its very subjective.
Bulimia. If you’re skinny and have eating issues, people feel sorry for you. If you’re fat (whether you have eating issues or not) most people are just disgusted.
Neither. There is no reason that I should let myself get to either point. Those are two extremes, however. Not everyone who is obese looks like the woman in the first photo, and not everyone who is obese is going to get to that point. Just like not all women who are thin are going to be like the woman suffering with bulimia and there’s nothing that says they will suffer from it.
Both bulimia and obesity, especially extreme morbid obesity as the woman in the first photo, come with their own medical problems. A good number of these medical problems are the same, in fact. Naturally, some of the medical issues are NOT the same, but when compared to one another are just as bad in severity. Some problems are worse, as well. In both respects. There are some problems in bulimia that are worse than many of the problems in this kind of obesity. And there are problems with obesity like this that are worse than bulimia.
Really, the two extremes are just as bad as each other. And neither person is prettier, in my estimation, for it. And I can’t say I pity either person less than the other. Although, both do these things to themselves voluntarily. By this point, they likely need help to stop and correct their behavior, but it will be up to them ultimately to get it.
But yeah, I see bulimia/anorexia and this kind of obesity to be the exact same things as far as extremes go. So, I would not rather be either. I can’t even say that I’d rather be bulimic because I can walk…because eventually with bulimia you won’t be able to walk, either. Same with anorexia.
How can I choose when they are the same? :p Although, I’m glad that I don’t see one as better than the other. :/
i would pick fat anyday! seriously i love food and def would not like puking it all up in two mins that sick ewww
There are my choices? HA! I just remembered, I’m GAY. Thank God!
Thanks to my diabetes saying no more to fatness, I can be thin…32 pounds @ only $16,834 not to mention a lifetime of drugs to go…just think….ahhhh I’m skinny. I’m more often noticed….I’m suddenly hot.
I’ve dated both thin and fat women. It matters what you think of yourself…but in all fairness I’m leaning chubby. because chubby is less concerned with the worries of image and all the happier for it.
happiness overall sets up our chance to live longer and better. …but it’s been said a lot meaner than this in song….

Bulimia. I know I can get through that, but I’ve never been morbidly obese.
Neither
Though being bulimic doesn’t equate to being thin, it sure beats being obese.
I suppose, with that being said, thats one of the reasons why people are bulimic in the first place.
Color me crazy, but I’d rather suffer from bulimia. I am overweight – not as much as the woman pictured, of course – but I am not perfect, or average, or healthy. I’d rather suffer from something that I may be able to hide if I really wanted to, instead of obesity which is obvious to any and all that are around me.
