Answer by L. F. M.
The only people I know who are as obsessed with pretending to have anorexia online as you seem to be are morbidly obese women weighing between 350-450 pounds. Three superobese women I know personally hang around on pro-ana boards pretending to be anorexic because they mistakenly believe anorexia is a sneaky way of being thin without trying. They will type in how little they eat with one hand while stuffing down a second pizza with another.

I do think if you are obsessed with having an internet audience believe you to be thin, then you have some mental issues that need to be addressed, perhaps munchausen’s (by internet) and a psychiatric hospital would be a good idea.
