I came across this desciption of something what ED would say.....and then what it would really mean. I thought it was a good way to show others what the conversations are like (to a small degree) inside my head.
ED: You'll lose weight
Translation: You'll loose yourself
ED: You'll gain control
Translation: You'll lose control
ED: You'll be skinny
Translation: You'll be sick
ED: You'll be confident
Translation: You'll hate yourself
ED: People will like you more
Translation: You'll push them away
ED: You'll be able to look great in a swimming suit
Translation: You'll be insecure and hide in your clothes
ED: You'll be more social
Translation: You'll isolate yourself
ED: You'll get more attention
Translation: People will worry about you and you'll lie and say your just fine.
ED: You'll feel better
Translation: You'll be weak and tired
ED: You'll reach your goal weight
Translation: You'll NEVER be satisfied.
(NOTE: There is a CONSTANT sense that I just need to loose 5 more pounds.....then 5 more......then 5 more. There will ALWAYS be 5 more.)
ED: You're doing great
Translation: You're dying.
