poohbah: i totally understand where your coming from. many of my friends always tend to talk to me about how fat they think they are and how they want to start taking pills and do drugs to be skinny. and iam always preaching to them that they have to do it the right way by working out and all this stuff. and at the same time they have not idea that yea i do work out like crazy and eat very healthy i still purge. for me i rather hurt myself than any of my frriends. though i know its not healthy what iam doing to my body i never want my friends to know or them do it. so do not feel like a hypocrite. we just rather see our friends better than ourselves. well at least i do.
