I completely get what you mean. I have had an ED, but have recovered, without most of the people around me knowing I ever even had a problem, so I find comments like that really unhelpful.

Like today, my nan had a friend over, who's a nurse. She commented on how I'd gotten very skinny, and my nan said that I was 'always eating' (which I found a bit insulting too). My nan's friend then seemed to take it upon herself to inform me of all of the dangers of bulimia! I have never, Never made myself throw up.  It could be argued I had exercise bulimia, but the advice she was giving me was directly related to throwing up - 'you know making yourself throw up will dissolve the enamel on your teeth', that sort of thing! I was so insulted... 

i think that chick is just jealous of you that you eat healthy. dont even acknowledge her.

Me and another friend used to tease my old best friend about her 'exercises', she would do an hour of exercises and wouldn't put them off to hang out with us (only after she did them). So we'd tease her. I guess we were 14/15. Just how people are at that age, she probably thinks it's weird you don't eat junk like the rest of them.

just tell her you eat enough a day and dont care for junk

Yeah I get that too. Some of my friends will just eat a cookie for lunch and no one bothers them, but because I have my carrot sticks and apples I'm anorexic. 

Im eating 3500 calories a day of complete nutrionally supplementive foods. i am a 15 year old guy, i work out 4 days a week and i have at least 5 days of intensive soccer each week.  but for some reason because i eat "healthy" example when my friends buy a donut at a grocery store. i buy an apple and therefore im anorexic. it drives me crazy.  im not underweight. i have 15 percent mroe muscle mass then the average 15 year old boy, but for some reason people think im anorexic.

ohhh god

I've gotten that my whole life. hence i'm a binge eater! I started eating as many tacos/gravy/hamburgers/steaks/whatever as i could in front of people just so that they would shut up!

and I was only healthy half of the time until recently. But I just usually get it cause I've got a really small frame. 

You are doing so good not to give in, I am not so good at it as you! Just be proud and maybe everyone else will f off and grow up at some point. 

i seem to eat a lot in front of other people too. because they are obsessed with my condition. some people tease me with the word anorexia. although it's not true at all. and i know a lot of my friends think i'm an exercise bulimic. but really, exercise is just an important part of my life.  and i love running.  it's become a habit. and it should be appreciated. not looked down upon.

good for you for not letting stupid asinine judgments change your eating habits that you've worked so hard to get to.

I'm so glad that other's have this exact same problem.

I am a suppeeerrr healthy eater, but that's just the food I like.  Everyone is always making comments about how thin I am, and then they like try to shove food down my throat and say things like "You need it"  What's wrong with being thin and healthy?  I swear everywhere you hear that you need to be eating healthy foods and excersizing regularly, which I do. So why, just because I am thin, does it mean that I have an ED? I eat more than most girls I know, but instead of eating chips or fries, I'll eat an apple or a banana. DeRrR people are frustrating.

I've gotten such comments from my friends too and I tried to reassure them I'm not disordered by making a point of eating unhealthy cookies in front of them. Even then they'd say "You're only eating that?" or still think I have a problem. So the unneccesary junk-food eating wasn't helping anyone.

God knows whats in the crap our school tries to feed us - I think its more sensible to stick to your guns and eat healthily. Sometimes for lunch I'll eat apple and carrot sticks and my friends'll just look at me or comment on it but I thinks it best not to get snappy and just ignore it.

One of my friends keeps bombarding me with comments of excactly how people die of eating disorders, even just randomly (not if we'd just had lunch). Inside I'm like 'shut up!' but you've got to carry on because you're doing this for yourself not to calm the storms in another persons head. I think once they've got it into their heads you've got an ED they won't let go. Even my mum said, "You're obsessed with your diet." But, as harsh as it sounds, I really don't think she deserves to know anything about it if she jumps to these ridiculous accusations.
