Ask any woman of any age and I’m sure she can tell you a few horror stories about eating disorders.

Way back when I was an undergrad living in the dorms, my roommate thought she had the most scathingly brilliant idea for eating anything you want in huge amounts while still losing weight. This was the early seventies, mind you, so there was not the “anorexia awareness” that there is today.

“All you do is stick your toothbrush down your throat until you vomit!” She was dead serious back then. I went to her funeral in 1986.

I heard about her. Apparently, her boyfriend was on a crazy bulking phase, and wouldn’t let her even get near the fridge. She’ll get back to normal when the boyfriend starts cutting.

that site’s got an ad bar at the top for weight loss companies. its a site devoted to promoting a mental condition and people actually advertise on it. thanks again, internet!

Until I knew what to look for, I had no idea these horrible sites were out there. They use code, refering to there friends “Mia” and “Ana”. (bulimia and anorexia). They are helping kill each other. I can’t even fathom how they find those “thinspiration” images anything but disgusting, but I guess that’s part of the illness.

Oy. My wife, in getting her masters in Psychology, had to catalog websites such as this http://www.evolana.spiritualitea.net/photo2.html, which feature that picture. Maybe I’m completely oblivious, but I didn’t even know that there were pro-anorexia and bulemia websites. Such thin people freak me out. They remind me of Auschwitz pictures. Strange – they want to starve themselves while I’m trying to figure out how to get more calories into my diet. No matter how safe we make this world, I guess we can’t outwit Darwin.[/quote]

There’s many truth in your statement…

Geeessssss, I don’t know what scares me the most, naafa ou this site.

You ain’t seen nothing yet:

I’d like to believe these are photoshopped, but I fear they’re not.

That is a very scary site. Problem is, those people would look at themselves and see themselves as fat. But they would look at other people (like on that site) and see them as thin.

One of those models IS photoshopped, the more normal looking one on the couch. I know because I saw the before and after ? she had a pot-belly. They also removed creases in clothes, smoothed her face/slight double chin etc…

sadly, the general public have no idea just how photoshopped ALL the pictures of models are that they see (including the mega anorexic celebrity scandal snaps). Girls don?t see normal pictures of people anymore.

Note some (most) of those pics may not be photoshopped, just that I saw the couch one before it was.

51

Those aren’t women. They are skeletons. They may be alive, but are the walking dead.

What the fuck has society come to? With all our advances in techonology and freedom, with women being more liberated, free, and safer than ever before, these are the choices made?

People say we were unaware of anorexia before, I disagree. These issues did not exist in the past. People were too busy trying to survive, to even have time for an eating disorder.

When people had to break their backs working in order to survive and get by, they didn’t have time nor energy to think “I’m too fat” They didn’t have other women (using female since 90% of eating disorders happen to females) telling them they are fat, or celebrities, models and actresses to want to look like.

Now, In bulimic fashon, I am going to go throw up from the images I just saw and hope to god above that they leave my head before I lay down to sleep.

This one? That’s actress Kiera Knightley, whom I’ve always found too thin, but not anorexic.

WTF. They look like zombies.

I agree with at least part of this. This type of eating disorder is a relatively new phenomenon. Trust me, no one in 1876 was talking about how attractive it was for women to have their ribcage showing through their skin.

Now look at how far we’ve come in these pics [photoshopped or not, we’ve all seen those stupid Richie and Hilton bitches on tv, and they look just about like these pics]. And in my experience, it’s women who push for thinness from women the most. I’ve known some guys who thought that a girl had to be skin & bones to be sexy, but I’ve known a lot more girls who thought that way.

For my own part, I prefer a girl who won’t feel faint walking across the room.

Blame Twiggy. Personally, I blame her. If I saw her walkin around today Id throw something at her. Ill watch Star Trek-the old ones in the 60’s-and some of the women on there are pretty…I mean, they are like 20…sometimes 20+% bodyfat. Like marilyn monroe.
After Twiggy…sighs Some women and the whole concept of womanly bodies just went to waste it seems.

I have friends who are models and they are very healthy and wear my sizes even and are just good girls though travel a lot but girls Ive known who are trying (almost desperately) to break into the industry are NOT well off. They blame everything on them not being thin enough a lot of the time (one of my best friends started crying during my house birthday party in front of everyone, like, Bawling about her being fat (she was about 12% bodyfat) and I had to take her to the bathroom and calm her down for 30 minutes) and one of my friends killed herself after getting drunk and being in anorexia and binging…

I went to see a school psychologist after to cope with her dying and the psych told me that most of it is how you percieve your body and the media and stuff…which is obvious to yall probably but Tiana (my friend who dies) would tell me it was genetic all the time…The thing is…she knew my friends who are models…they never did unhealthy things like she did to herself-and she was five times more scrawny than any of the models. So, what the hell? I still get mad about it all, dont understand
