Bulimia flared and I gained an incredible amount of weight.

I was contacted by a bintopian out of the forums to enquire about my eating disorder story, curiosity.
I cried wolf a lot and posted lots of false pics in the bin, it's time to post up I guess.

These following pictures are over a span of around 7 months in which (iirc) I dropped around 6 stone in weight and was hospitalized.
I look freaky (I know) but this should verify my now deceased status.


No starting picture, around 16 pounds lost by this first set
context is: competitive road racing (for weight loss)



Around 24-30 pounds lost here:


Around 30-40 pounds:



around 60 pounds lost I think
Context: night out with my girlfriend (cut out of the picture for privacy)


Around 80 Pounds lost here since the beginning:
Context = last Christmas


At this point I was hospitalized.

Picture of me only an hour ago or so recording my usual youtube guitar videos:


There, that should clear things up

Good to see what you actually look like (for real).

You look... pleasantly normal .

Spoiler:

Since when are you Kazien?!?

anyways, to put an end to the name-calling:
i'm not "gay", and i'm not an "it".

attached is a pic of me at a wedding (i was a Groomsman).
(i blacked out the other faces to keep those people's identities private. i also had to black-out the middle because it had some text)



originally i pretended to be a girl for the lulz.
some people believed me, and then i just kept going with joke for probably over half a year

anyways, it was really hard to keep the joke going for so long.
and it was lulzful to all who knew; but there's only so much i can take of people calling me 'gay' or 'it', so its time to bring this joke to an end

Cotton, you know that I am joking with you. I was the one from day one that helped in supporting your shenanigans of pretending to be a girl. I just had to tease you since you went on with the joke for so long. I had to say something. XD

Man, with everyone posting their pictures, it feels like we're just a big happy family now. :P Start by being a part of my family by lending me some money and threatening to kill each other because that's what real families do.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but the link only works for people that have some fair bit of a chance left. :/

I'm in a frighteningly similar position to yours.. social anxiety is really, really difficult to have to live with (thank the lord for amphetamines ), so it's good to know I'm not quite alone.

yeah i know you were joking; but to the outsider/noob who wasn't in on the joke, they might actually believe that i'm sexually confused and stuff.

HCR, what you do is post a pic of you in a crowd of people or a group and let members guess who you are.

Just remember, it doesn't matter who you are, what you look like, what gender you may be, we won't think of you any differently, you'll still be that same, helpful, kind and insightful member we've always known throughout the forum.

But if you are indeed a female, I'd watch out for tcos, pcxl-fan and co.

That was already thought of for maximum lols, and reserved only to nonpaying viewers.

Great idea there! But he'd have to disclose the privacy of all the other members in that crowd then, which I don't think he's willing to do.

Indeed. You have an image to uphold in the forums.

I changed my name for privacy reasons, using my real name has led to a few mentally challenged people stalking me online in the past two years.

Wooh hold up now. In the short run amphetamines do artificially boost your confidence, its false confidence though. I know. I took ritalin, and initially it would give someone a huge false boost in confidence. But in the long run they ruin it. You become dependant on it, and your natural confidence without the stuff becomes worse. So maybe you think well ill just keep taking the stimulant all the time then. No, your body builds up resistence and eventually the benefits continuously diminish. All the while you are screwing up other parts of your mind. Near the end of my 13yrs or ritalin use I was making utterly stupid decisions, a trend that was getting worse as the time on the ritalin progressed. By my first year of college 5 years ago, and second last year on stimulant meds i was often staying on the campus computers surfing the web until 4am in the morning and taking a $40 taxi cab homes (cuz the busses don't run at 4am) and missing classes the next day. And my screwed up reason for doing this was because I was having trouble making friend and socializing. A younger version of myself at the age of 14years old would never have done that. So my descision making and warping of perception had actually deteriorated.

Don't get me started on how much stimulant drugs can screw people up.

Its taken me the past 4 years to even begin the journey of recovering my confindence, regaining my mental capacity and rediscovering myself after ritalin ruined me.

No don't even consider going down the road of stimulants to artificially replace confidence.

You once showed on of your school papers in the bin with the user name that you used to use. I asked you about it and then you said that it wasn't your real name (even though it was on your school paper). I guess it really was your real name. Either way, you're still the same cool guy, regardless of the name or the pics that you post of yourself, same as with everyone else on the forum who has posted their pics but was reluctant to do so.

I recovered from mine with the use of Viagra. Now I'm HFB like there's no tomorrow.

I am the same way, though, at least I make an attempt to be social.
