shopping-wise, looking forward to going shopping in hk! my mum's getting me to get some clothes hehe, esp how some of my shirts and pants ive worn since yr7 =P really want someone to go shopping with me! hehe not only for clothes and a whole bunch of other stuff but technology too! hehe thinking (hoping) to get USB drive, laptop, camera (??), mp3 player so i could listen to talks on the train and stuff!! hehe will need to scratch out a nice friend or cousin =P

hmm so many ppl seem to simply class anorexics as being 'ungrateful' (u know..."think of those who are starving! how can u not eat all this nice food! u must be dumb!" blah blah blah) but really, those who are actually anorexic (by that it doesnt mean that everyone who doesnt eat is anorexic) are victims of an illness

Anorexia nervosa: the relentless pursuit of thinness
- Person refuses to maintain normal body weight for age and height.
- Person denies the dangers of low weight.
- Is terrified of becoming fat.
- Is terrified of gaining weight even though s/he is markedly underweight.
- Reports feeling fat even when very thin.
- In addition, anorexia nervosa often includes depression, irritability, withdrawal, and peculiar behaviors such as compulsive rituals, strange eating habits, and division of foods into "good/safe" and "bad/dangerous" categories. Person may have low tolerance for change and new situations; may fear growing up and assuming adult responsibilities and an adult lifestyle. May be overly engaged with or dependent on parents or family. Dieting may represent avoidance of, or ineffective attempts to cope with, the demands of a new life stage such as adolescence.

just a bit about whot 'anorexia' really refers to


a lot of ppl who are suffering from anorexia really do wanna be rid of it. a lot of the time, rather than simply telling them off and advising them to 'just eat and exercise later', it helps much more to be there for them as a friend, help them to open up about their troubles and hardships (cos often anorexia rises from other problems/obstacles in their life). it can be so hard to get out of being anorexic

another thing, just because they mite start to eat a bit more, don't think that it's over and they're all good again....cos often its when u start to eat and start to gain some weight that it gets really really hard. often the hardest part i reckon...coming out of it


anyway brain really really tired today...hope ppl didnt notice my stoned expression at work today >.< got stuff done but not much else there...hardly spoke 5 words stringed together
