Totally totally agree. Though I may be skinny, I'm seen as weird or disgusting. My eyes are perpetually bloodshot, I have to constantly sit because my head spins when I'm standing, I can't digest food, and by the way--after purging everyday for a period of time, there will come a day where it doesn't come up....so everytime I eat, it's the great unknown whether it will come up or not. It may help at first, but in the long term it's a killer
