Yes. In fact, it was nearly healed. But I bumped it pretty hard, to the point where it bled. At first I thought nothing of it, because it seemed to heal just after that. Then about a week later I made the mistake of going swimming in a lake. It got infected horribly and I had to take antibiotics for a week. I was terrified that it would develop a keloid after reading some piercing horror stories on BME.

*laughs* Well it was a surprise to see them. I bet they haven't seen the light of day in years. All my pants are chick jeans. It is tough to get stuff for me, I am short.

Get it done on the other side instead. And don't swim in lakes of course. The amount of fish waste and decaying plant matter in lakes is phenomenal. You can actually get fish TB ( this is a real disease btw ) amongst other things from the bacteria that break down fish waste if you have cuts or open wounds on your skin. I always wear gloves when doing maintenece on my largest tank filter for that reason ( I invariably have papercuts or rabbit scratches on my hands and arms. ) .

You don't have any fat on your frame. You appear to be UNDER weight if anything else. Are you still seeing a counseller for this? I'm no phsychiatrist but I would hazard a fairly reasonable guess that you may have BDD ( Body Dysmrphic Disorder ) You're seeing fat that simply doesn't exist. No overweight person can compare the thin-ness of their arm to a carrot like you can. Seriously.

Also, those jeans...don't turn them up at the bottoms . 12 year olds can get away with it, you cannot. I'd suggest you cut them to the correct length if they are too long ,and sew a new hem to stop them fraying. And since they are a straight/slim fit leg, I'd also suggest you wear them tucked into longer/higher boots. They look really odd the way you have them now.

That carrot was HUGE, that is why I took the picture, it was such a freak!

The mirror doesn't lie. People say to me that I am thin, well it is nice to hear, but I know different. What I am is an out of shape pear. Slow and bloated.
What I see is fat all over me. Isn't it obvious? I see it every day on me.
I diet, and excersise, and I diet. The scale dissapoints me and brings me pain, and I am constantly fat. I am dissapointed! Oh, I haven't slept in so long, so I will have a nap.
One day, I will be thin like I allways dream about, but untill I get there, I will not stop pushing. Sleep time. Bye.

[honeythorn]

You need a counseller, seriously. I'm willing to bet my forearms are bigger then your upper arms. I know fat. I've been very overweight my entire life, and I have known and worked with many overweight men, I can assure you, you are not even close to being overweight by any stretch of the imagination. And I'm not saying that to be kind.

Actually mirrors do lie. Cheaper mirrors can actually have a slightly warped surface which changes the reflection slightly. Also, if your mirror is on a stand and can tilt/angle back and forth, this can also change/warp the reflection. Many clothes stores set their mirrors at a slight backward angle, so when you look in it your reflection is slightly stretched, making you look subtly slimmer . And so the clothes look better in the store ( encouraging you to buy them ) than they do at home in a flat wall or door mounted mirror ( at which point a lot of people return the clothes as they don't seem to look as good ) . True fact.

It could actually be your mirror, not you.

Opteron: Unless you have a funhouse mirror in your bedroom or something, I don't know how you can say you are fat. O__o;;; From your pics, you are most definitely NOT a pear, nor do you need to lose weight!

If you don't believe us, then go to the doctor and get his/her opinion.

[Pyre]

Opteron just likes hearing about how thin he is. Honestly, after his comment about the "mirror doesn't lie" and then complaining about being fat, I really want to drive to Canada and kill him brutally. Not because he's thin and won't believe it, but because he's annoying as fuck about a psychological disorder he's probably not seeking treatment for.

[Raptor]

He's said before that he's around 50kg I think...

[Pyre]

I had Google convert that. Yes, being 5'5" or '6" and 110lbs is well underweight. I am 5'0" and 100lbs (~45kg), and my friends make skinny jokes of me all the time (despite having a completely normal weight for my size). I also have a friend who is significantly underweight for her height, which is as tall or slightly taller than Opteron's, and she weighs anywhere from 100-110lbs. Her weight, however, is not a result of undereating, but simply just genetic. Her mom is tiny, as well.

[Opteron_Man]

My problems, they don't matter. Oh nevermind, I wish I can feel content with my body like alot of people do, but I don't. Not for a long long time. I need to continue on to my goal, no matter what the cost.

[Underwater Ophelia]

Eyebrows, short hair, and no makeup.
I took this with my cell, because I'm too poor for a digital camera, haha.

[honeythorn]

The short hair really suits you! :-)

[Opteron_Man]

I can't explain it properly. I probably shouldn't because I will be ridiculed. But this is it. No lies and no half truths. What is inside of me?

I wake up in the morning and walk to the bathroom and step on my scale. Read the dial, I sigh sadly, and then mark my weight down on another day space on my calendar. I pin it back on the wall. I am greatly disappointed, you have no idea how crushed I feel because of what I read on the scale! I look in my mirror and turn around in different angles. Oh god, why can't I do this right? I take a shower.

After, I get dressed, and I make some tea. I drink it throughout the day. I might go for a walk, but come 7:00 pm, a friend on MSN asks if I ate, and she knows the truth, so I eat something for her, like a fried egg or something. She is nice, and I am grateful for her friendship. I experience dread; I can see my body getting gaining weight by the pound every second as I eat it. I stay in my seat and don’t move to stop me from puking. I calm down, and hope to god that egg sandwich didn’t fuck up my works. I just hope.

I go say “hi” to my neighbor (he has no idea) and I smile, when I get back; the cat does a trick to make me feel better. She knows something is not right. You don’t understand, it is what I feel inside of me, not what the mirror tells. It is like a demon always with me with his arm wrapped around my waist. How can I explain that I can’t stand the thought of eating three meals a day! It will be too much! I don’t even want to picture it, of what will happen, of what I will look like!!!

The disappointment, the shame of what my scale says. I can’t stop. I will get to the end, where I will finally feel happy. It will just be a matter of time really.

[maggot]

OM, chill the fuck out. Go see a hypnotherapist. You really wanna know if you're fat? Go see a doctor and ask.

That end will be a coffin if you starve yourself. You're underweight for your height as it is. You need to see a doctor/therapist or someone who specialises in eating disorders. You certainly seem to have a disorder given everything you've put there.

[korinna5555]

Optie..
Go to therapy, chuck your scale in the garbage, exercise moderately, and eat healthful foods in appropriately sized portions.
END OF STORY.

[ZyklonB]

Damn, if optie is underweight wtf am I? I'm 5 feet 7 and weigh 105 lbs.

Picture post time- Kimmie took this picture of me when I wasn't looking >.> Not my PB btw so don't go snoopin' around xD



And here i thought she was taking a picture of something else, I have such a bad expression on my face xD sun was in my eyes and wind in my face after a long day >.> So tired.

[Mr E Nigma]

Yeah, I'm 5'8" and weigh 136... My mom is constantly trying to help me achieve a healthy weight for my height/age but my metabolism makes it a bit hard, and expensive.

I mean no offense, seriously, and they are all just trying to help you mate.

Opteron, your out of your mind. Sir, what you have is a delusion of reality. Seriously go to a therapist... You whine about how fat you are and sigh about it and all that and sit there and wallow in your own imaginary sorrow while people like honeythorn or my cousin, or some of those people on the biggest loser (which I don't actually watch) bust their ass to lose weight and are passionate in achieving it. They don't whine, they know their situation and strive to achieve a healthier body. Meanwhile, you're underweight and trying to make that worse....?

I'm not sure what screwed up distortion of reality you see, but you need to snap out of it man, before you're really sick.

As honeythorn said, "That end will be a coffin if you starve yourself. You're underweight for your height as it is."

Think about it man, what reason would a forum full of people, who simply relish the idea of ridiculing other's for their faults or idiocies, have to lie to you. If they were really cruel people they'd make fun of you for how you're acting. They'd laugh at you for being in such denial, but no, they're not ridiculing you. These people who generally argue on a regular basis, all the damn time are all agreeing on the same thing... why could that be? Maybe 'cause it's true.

Do yourself a favor mate and enjoy food. Enjoy meals, savor the delicious flavor they might bring to your brain and for your own safety get healthier. =[ I'm sorry man but you're headed in the wrong direction, and no one here knows how else to tell you that. I'm almost scared that if you don't believe a bunch of ridiculing cynical bastards who all for once in a blood moon actually agree on something... that you won't believe doctors if/when you go see them as well...

[Bonquisha Brown]

Mr Enigma: I think Opteron_Man knows damn well what he's doing wrong. Assuming he actually has problems.

He's just an attention whore.

[Mir]

More attention seeking, eh?

"I'm fat. Waaah! No one loves me. Waaah! Tesla's findings were real, but they have been supppressed. Waaaah! I make up outlandish stories about my mundane existence. Waaah! Waaaah!".

Pyre's post about wanting to go to Canada, and to brutally murder you had me in hysterics.

[RozzVanian]

Optie, you are short and thin. You are the epitome of petite. There's nothing large or fat about you. But I know what it's like to have an eating disorder. I am struggling with one right now. What you need to do is admit you have a problem and seek treatment.

I am glad someone enjoyed it. I have since stopped reading Opteron's posts. He pisses me off too much.

This is me.
