Obese or Anorexic

How obese? I'm medically "obese" right now but I only weigh 215lbs. Not a big deal at all. I definitely would not want to be anorexic or skinny in general, to be honest. Not my thing.

Obese, because I would blend in better than an anorexic person would. There aren't a whole lot of anorexic people around, but fat people are all over the place. :P (no pun intended)

As in 400-500lbs obese.

Wow, well then, probably still obese. I really don't fancy the thought of being sickly thin.

Obese. I couldn't live that skinny...

Anorexic because as soon as I'd magically woken up as one I'd go for a Mccy D's and easily put the weight back on. If you're obese it takes years to shift the weight.tofu-lion91

...but you probably wouldn't want to eat tons of food if you had anorexia. Being skinny is only half of the disorder; there's an entire mental aspect to it. Eating disorders stem from an insecurity of some kind, where as obesity has no guarentees on whether the person has a disorder or not.

Anorexic because I don't like huge belly andalso I should be able to see my own feet.....

But then again I maintain perfect body weight ;)

I'd rather be skinny than fat, but anorexic... I really don't know; they both come with a plethora of health problems.

Anorexic, I'd just hate to be really really fat.

If we're talking extremes, like either 400lbs or 80lbs, I'd choose Anorexic. People are a little more sympathetic to underweight people and it is much easier to get help, because of the mental aspects assosiated with it. Being obese, all you have is the gym and diet.

Extreme obesity affects your mobility and just sets you up for ridicule. It's also easier to hide anorexia from peoples eyes.

Mmm chocolate cake. Obese please.

Neither.

But I would never want to be fat. To me, being fat is just gross.

Or sickly large.

I'm really skinny and I HATE IT. I wouldn't wanna be obese but I'd wanna b heavier than I am now

Or sickly large.

The thought doesn't bother me as much as being extremely thin, at all. But I guess like others say, being thin is easier to rebound from. I sort of took this question as "If you had to be one way for the rest of your life, which would you be?"

I'm really skinny too, it sucks. You can't really go out in shorts and a T-shirt because it looks bad. Also finding clothes that don't hand suck

Wrong i can't put on any weight at all. I was eating 4000 calories a day doing no exercise and guess what as soon as i put a little on it came right back on. I just can't keep it

Anorexic.

Because I could easily gain all the weight back. :P

I'd be a lard ass. My metabolism is fast so I would eventually beat obesity.

I have been anorexic and obese. Neither one is fun. I can't decide which one is worse to be honest.

Anorexic, because getting healthy again is easier and much more delicious.

I'd rather be Obeserexic. It's were you fluxuate between fat and skinny. You gorge yourself one year and starve yourself the next. Its a happy medium.

Anorexia can be treated. Obesity is the combined result of genetics and selfish irresponsibility, neither of which can be helped.

After some thinking I think this needs to be said so people can learn something. Anorexia is much more difficult to deal with than obesity. I used to be 5'9 and 255 lbs. Once I put my mind to it I was able to lose the weight easily. Within 5 months I was able to lose 105 lbs. The problem was that I couldn't stop the weight loss. People who start weight loss crave to continue to see results on the scale. There was no better feeling for me. The lowest weight I got down to was 100 lbs. The road to recovery from anorexia takes much longer and is very hard mentally. Food is the enemy for an anorexic person. You leanr to hate food. While being fat is not very acceptable in society, anorexia is far worse. Earlier I said I wouldn't know which one to choose, and now I can confidently say that I would rather be obese.

Anorexic for sure, it's easier to gain weight than loose weight.

I love how everybody ignored everything I said. It's not that easy to just eat a bunch of food and be back to normal. If you are anorexic you hate food.

Anorexia is a mental disorder and thus much harder to treat than Obeseity which can be sovled by exercise, diet change, medicine or surgery (if you have an eating dissorder).

While nether is really easy to beat and both are horrible for your health, I would say that Obeseity is a tad easier to beat that Anorexia, for the simple fact that eating too much when trying to recover from Anorexia can and will kill you.
