DISCLAIMER: If you’ve never had an ED, these pranks might sound particularly cruel to you. However, let me assure you that we former and current anorexics, bulimics and binge eaters DO have senses of humor, though they are usually of a “black” variety!
SECOND DISCLAIMER: I’m in a particularly feisty mood today; consequently, it’s important to remember that the following list has been written in a tongue-in-cheek manner by an exhausted, stressed-out blogger on a rainy Monday…
The following are The Top 5 Worst April Fool’s Pranks to play on disordered eaters. Don’t try these at home or the office… I beg of you!
5. Mess with the scale and make it register weight as five pounds greater.
4. Announce that you signed him or her up for a pie eating contest that starts at 7:00 p.m. and will be televised internationally.
3. Replace all fat-free items in your pantry with their full-fat equivalents. (Or just say that you did.)
2. Tell the disordered eater that you just found out water and air have calories.
1. Buy a pair of jeans that are identical to the disordered eater’s faves… only two sizes smaller. Put them in his/her closet.
geez, these are nasty! my son has multiple food allergies and am horrified at the thought that someone would play a prank involving his allergies!

Ruth:
Absolutely — again, this is “dark” humor. No way would I suggest anyone do this.
Thanks for the tag!
