You know you're anorexic when...

[Spongebob.Skinny.Pants]

...When you check the back of your flavored lip gloss for the nutrition facts... Haha. I have done that so many times. :P

ive wondered if toothpaste has had calories because it has flavor, so i avoid swallowing
it at all costs. >.<

[Tavam]

When you work out for half an hour because you chewed a piece of chewing gum.

[alexremix]

when you kinda wish you could swap lives with someone in a third world country. (kinda bad, i know :/)
they want food and i do not.

...When you check the back of your flavored lip gloss for the nutrition facts... Haha. I have done that so many times. :P
And when you go to organic stores for fun just to look at the different healthy foods.

Haha! I've done that to bottled water. Instinctively turning it around to look for the calories, and then being confused because it only lists the minerals


...when you stand in front of the drinks isle, debating whether to get the 6-calorie 7up that you'd really like, or to go for the 'safer' 1-calorie Pepsi Max... (I'm weird)

@contranym, you got my one about the apples!

You know you're anorexic when you cry when you won't eat for the rest of the day because you took four bites of toast in the morning ontop of your egg whites and grapefruit.

@icicle, I get what you mean about the 7up; love the stuff. Pepsi is my back up too!

[Lichen]

...when you eat at a diner to use free WiFi, but eating actually means drinking tea and sucking on packets of mustard.



(I am not anorexic, though.)

[sadderstar]

When you avoid putting food inside your body for as long as you can because you feel like a single grape will make you look like a pregnant lady.

[_winter]

When your friend has a little muffin top and it bugs you so much that you want to starve for her.
When the sound of food frying is the sound that makes you the most irritable in the world.
When you walk through the kitchen breathing through your mouth because you don't want to smell dinner, grab a water, and head back to your room.

[fadeaway]

When you keep staring into other people's shopping carts in Tesco & feel like a winner for buying a salad mix only.

When you do grocery shopping for 45 mins and you still only get a diet coke.

When you ask for chicken broth at a restaurant and your mate(s) are already done with the second dish while you're still trying to separate noodles from the rest.

When you cannot stop staring at people who are eating. You just can't, and it makes you look like a freak.

...When you stand in front of 1 out of 3 mirrors in your room and count your ribs and spine to make sure the same amount are there in every mirror.
...When you weigh yourself after the very quick shower to make sure your body didn't soak in any water or shower gel.
...When other people are eating and you cant help but look at their stomachs, or chins and think why are they doing this to themselves.
...When your in college and do an experiment with cake in the class and cry in front of everyone because your teacher has put a cake slice on front of you.
...When you try and not even smell the food incase you absorb calories through your nose.
