Not at all!

When I reply to this, I am in no way being judgemental of you, but I do think that why you clearly see the dangers of Anorexia or Bulemia, it is as if you're not quite informed of the heallth risks of obesity. You are right, anorexia is a HUGE health risk, but obesity is just as great of one. You being 300 lbs and 5'2 is extremely unhealthy. Imagine the strain that puts on your heart. I apologize if I come across rude, just stating my opinion.
I dont think your being judgmental at all, I can totally see where your coming from & I should've made this clear the first time....... Believe me, I KNOW all about the risks over being overweight! I've heard it from my doctors, read about it online, etc. I've been checked for high blood pressure, diabetes & all that other stuff and as of now, I DONT have any of of it.......and I will continue to get checked for them! I should also add that i've been trying to lose weight for the longest time! I've tried tons of diets and even went on weight watchers for a few months where I lost about 15-20 lbs....the most I had EVER lost on a diet or program! But the same thing always happens, somehow I fall of track and quit for a while! It may also be genetic, cause a lot of my family is heavy and struggling with their weights! I am currently, again, trying to lose weight and REALLY hope to have better luck succeeding this time around! And I apologize If I come across rude, but I STILL would rather be at the weight I am then be going through anorexia and I'm pretty sure my family would be more concerned for me (not that they arent concerned now, my mom tries to help me) if I were anorexic than at my current weight! But believe me when I say that I AM aware of the risks of being obese and AM trying to change it.....just like I hope YOU are trying to change! Its all about the sake of our health! Thats just my opinion!
