When my friends point out my binge eating disorder symptoms
Laurie Dann led an unassuming childhood, growing up in an affluent northern suburb of Chicago. She was recollected as being somewhat awkward and lacking in confidence. Maybe that’s why she completely altered her face with plastic surgery at quite a young age. She attended the University of Arizona for several years but never graduated. Whilst working as a cocktail waitress at Green Acres Country Club, she met Russell Dann, the son of a wealthy family. The duo were inseparable and settled down and got married in September of 1982. They moved into a large mansion - something that had always been a dream of Lauries.
Shortly thereafter, Russell began to notice some bizarre quirks about his new wife. For example, she would keep her makeup in the microwave, would throw money into the back seat of her car, and would put clothes away while they were still soaking wet. While the couple remained together for several years, Laurie’s quirks began to worsen and worsen. Eventually, she completely stopped leaving the house and refused to cook or clean up after herself. The relationship was doomed but it reached calamitous heights in September of 1986. Police received a phone call from Russell. Somebody had stabbed him with an ice-pick whilst he slept and he was certain it was Laurie. In fact, a store clerk would come forward to say Laurie had indeed purchased an ice-pick just days previously. The ice-pick missed his heart by just an inch. Considering Russel was asleep and didn’t see his attacker, the charges against Laurie were dropped. The couple divorced shortly afterwards. As the divorce was underway, Laurie’s ex-boyfriend from five years previously started to receive threatening phone calls from Laurie in which she claimed she was pregnant with his child. The harassment finally ended when his lawyer contacted her parents.
Laurie moved from the marital home and decided she wanted to become a babysitter but this quickly failed when she was accused of stealing from her client’s homes and slashing up their sofas, rugs, and curtains. Following this failed business idea, she moved into a dorm room on the northwest campus. This too fell apart when Laurie starred to hide rotten meat inside furniture as well as hiding rubbish in other student’s rooms. In January of 1988, she moved to a dorm in Madison, Wisconsin, where she became known as “elevator lady.” Students recalled her riding up and down in the elevator all day long. Once again, she started to leave rotten meat around the dorm and would often be seen stark naked in the communal areas. A month after moving in, a dorm room was set alight. Many believed Laurie had caused the fire intentionally but with no evidence, she was never charged.
By now, Laurie’s sanity was completely unravelled and nobody thought to get her more suitable professional help. After threatening a fellow student and slashing his clothing, Laurie baked buns and injected them with arsenic. She sent these laced treats to several frat houses and homes in the area before making her way to the home of a former babysitting client, asking if she could take their kids to the local fair. She gave the two children poisoned milk. Thankfully, they threw it out after saying it tasted strange. The arsenic in the laced treats she had sent out was so diluted that it caused no damage. From here, Laurie went to a local daycare and tried to set it on fire before returning to the former clients home which she then set on fire. They were lucky enough to escape out of a smashed window. By the time the family escaped, Laurie was en route to Hubbard Woods Elementary School. Armed with two handguns, Laurie started shooting indiscriminately as soon as she entered the building. She shot and killed 8-year-old Nicholas Corwin before critically wounding another five.
Laurie ripped off the bloody shorts she was wearing and tied a plastic bag around her waist. After fleeing the school, she crashed her car into a tree and then broke into the home of Ruth and Phillip Andrews. Laurie held the terrified family hostage for six hours, claiming she had shot and killed her rapist and was now on the run from the police. Phillip grabbed the gun from Laurie as his family escaped. During the scuffle, he was shot in the chest but managed to stagger into the garden. Alone in the Andrews home, Laurie shot herself dead.
I keep seeing people say how jealous they are of people who seem like they can eat whatever the fuck they like and not gain any weight. I’m going to tell you that 99% of the time it’s all bullshit. This post is long and idk who needs to hear this, BUT I know for a fact that people who say “I eat a lot but don’t gain weight” don’t just have a ‘fast metabolism’. Either:
secretly have an ED
I (and maybe even you) have definitely used this excuse before, so why can’t they?
they actually overestimate how much they eat
Look, my skinny friend (6 feet tall and 150) used to always claim that she ate *so* much but couldn’t gain weight, but I observed her for a week at lunch and noticed she’d take a huge af plate of food, but everytime she took a bite out of something and she didn’t like it she’d leave it and not touch it again. She’d never end up finishing even 1/3 of her plate, but she’d think she ate a lot just because she’d taken a lot, but didn’t really.
they do a shit load of sports and walking
I’m on holiday in Italy right now and I noticed most people my age are really skinny even though the food here is super rich and calorie dense. Why? This place is REALLY hilly and you have to walk everywhere to get to where you want to go. In fact that’s how I lost 15 pounds last year even though I literally ate pasta and ice cream every day. So of course the locals are going to be skinnier than average. If your ‘naturally skinny’ friend walks long distances every day or plays a lot of sports then they’re probably underestimating how many calories they’re burning.
they smoke/vape excessively
Everyone knows that nicotine makes your metabolism faster and lowers your appetite, in fact most people lose about 20lbs after starting. Your friend might reach for a cig or a vape when they’re hungry instead of a snack and just end up eating less overall. Loads of people who smoke have compared the feeling after to that of eating a meal.
They have low muscle mass
Loads of teenage boys complain that they can’t gain weight even though all they do is sit and play video games all day (look, I know boys tend to weigh less than girls on average anyway) When you think about it, although that doesn’t burn many calories, it’s not toning the muscles either. Fat weighs more than muscle which could mean their weight is low but that’s just because all that’s on them is fat.
they have a medical condition called hyperthyroidism
SO many people who think they have a ‘fast metabolism’ actually end up being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which is the actual cause of it. Especially if they have lost a lot of weight for no reason. That’s the only way you could have a fast metabolism, and people tend to not get it checked because they think they were just born that way. Or they might just have a tapeworm ☺️
or they are just a little kid.
Many kids, but not all kids, are skinny af. This is because of a combination of having more energy to run around and play (like my 9 and 11 y o cousins) and not having gone through puberty yet. For example, of your friend is a girl who is super skinny with a ‘cereal box’ body type she probably will gain weight later in life. It’s a matter of time really, wether it’s when they’re 20 or 40. My mom was like this and people thought she was anorexic when she was in her twenties but it didn’t last forever and now it’s hard for her to lose weight.
So yeah tldr, people who think they’re naturally skinny most of the time just overestimate how much they eat. If they’re actually eating that much, however, it’s probably a thyroid condition or a lack of activity. I just really wanted to put this out there so maybe someone could see it and feel better.

L👀K AT THIS BABY !! ISNT SHE CUTE ?! SHES FUDGY AF TOO !!!
45 CAL MUG CAKE
This one’s chocolate & cinnamon flavour y’all.
This is a recipe I adapted from another recipe bc it was shit soo, here goes:
1 tablespoon flour (28cal)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (0cal)
1 teaspoon cacao powder (approx. 15cal, I used that raw Mayan superfood stuff but I’m sure any unsweetened cocoa powder would work)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (0cal, this wasn’t in the OG recipe but cinnamon has a laxative effect on me so bonus points for gettin muh bowels moooovin)
2 tablespoons zero cal sweetener (0cal)
1 tablespoon water (0cal, this was milk in the original recipe but milk is a ~fear food~ of mine so idfw milk)
Mix all the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, cacao powder, cinnamon, & sweetenerrr) and get rid of the floor/baking powder lumps cos they taste gross if they’re left in. It makes sort of a brown powder lookin thing.
Add the water and mix well until it’s smooooooooth af bby.
Microwave for 50 seconds.
Let it cool (it’s really fuckin hot) and enjoy! This is the most important step bitches.
This shit’s b o m b when you’re craving cake cos it’s just about the same texture and has a similar taste. You can of course add some vanilla extract if you wanna be ~fancy~, but I didn’t have any and I’m too lazy to go to the store lmao.
One day, Loukaitis told a classmate: “Some people don’t deserve to live; some people should just die or be killed.” When the girl later argued with him over answers on a worksheet, Loukaitis exploded in anger, telling her, “Do you think you deserve to live?” It was a question he had begun to ask many students before the shootings.
