No, i am no longer friends with anyone who has an ED. I do have friends that have had an ED... While i was sick i had a few friends that were also sick. But because we spent so much time in hospital, we all had our own battles and it was hard to actually do something because nobody wanted to eat. And the only thing we really had in common was our ED. So it wasnt exactly a friendship, it was more of some type of contact... communication, we wanted to be with people who understood us, and what we were going through.
Is it disturbing for you when someone your with, is making comments or complaining about food?
Yeah i find this really annoying!! In my previous school there were a few people who constantly complained about the school lunch, would always talk about diets, wanting to lose weight, saying that they werent going to eat alot, but piled their plate with loads of food (??)... and i admit, the school lunch in my previous school wasnt good. But i didnt complain about it, i didnt see a point. There were days where i only salad for lunch because there wasnt any other option which i liked, or could eat.
But in the school i go to now, the school lunch is actually really good, most days. And me and my friends are all mature enough to not complain about the food.
What i love about my friends in school now, is that they're not afraid to take seconds, and to eat more. And they dont comment about other peoples food... i mean in my previous school i often got questions about the fact that i dont eat red meat, and dont like potatoes. But i dont get comments about that now, which i like!! :)
When someone makes comments about how little or how much you eat, hou do you react?
I never know how to react.... But inside, im a bit like this:

When someone comments and says im eating loads i always feel a bit awkward. Though it depends who it is... if its my family. Then i'll jsut laugh, and say somethign sarcastic. Because with my family, it doesnt bother me. They know i eat loads... so it doesnt matter if they tell me that. But if its say.... a friend well it depends who the friend is, and how they said it. But if someone says it in a mean commenting way, or trying to inform me of how much i actually eat.... then i can get irritated, and can be put off my food.
If someone comments and says that im eating little, which can happen on the days where im not hungry, or dont like the food being served (whether im at someone elses house, at school or at home). Those comments dont really bother me, because there is usually a vali reason for why im not eat so much. So then its just to say that :)
Lot of questions, i know:D I hope you find time to answer them:)
