d: why are eating disorders and the constant want of being skinny disgusting?
L: they're not disgusting. people just don't understand nor have they had someone close to them who struggles with it. it's not disgusting, making fun of someone for it is.

d: that makes a lot of sense
it's just frustrating that people think the way they do
