gosh! i ran across a site that is all abut anorexia and goodness...the pictures there are very dramatic like it could tear your heart and cry out for these people. some of them are very proud of their "slim" figure. and the alarming thing is that even teen agers are unconsciously suffering from this disorder. i hope that the government could do something about this issue...

the problem is, girls are only doing it to become thin, they become anorexia due to personal problems, such as rape and family problems, they dont intend on doing it, its just something that happens, they feel it is their one way of staying in control, because food is one thing you control yourself... :( Although some people Do do it just to become slim

Have you ever thought that maybe they are proud of it...because it's the only thing they have that they can be proud of? An eating disorder has its good and bad moments. But you brianwash yourself into loving your disorder as a coping mechanism. So don't be so quick to judge the people that do.

There are lots of groups and blogs and stuff like that that girls go to to get more tips and stuff on how to throw up and things like that and it makes me so sick.

I really love skinny women, and I want to be skinny as well, but I fear anorexia, and I pity those girls who are having anorexia, I've seen bodies due to anorexia, and it is not appealing. I do hope that they can resolved and fight anorexia, and face reality. There are a lot of ways to be skinny, that is, a balanced diet and a regular exercise, and what's good there is that your skin will also look healthy, giving it a glow. I wonder why can't some people get that fact?!

They aren't turning to anorexia just because they want to lose a few pounds. There are other reasons to find an extremely slim body appealing or "enjoy" starving/restricting. I think my ED started as a result of feeling unprotected in a way. So I began to want to look like one who needs to be protected. I did not come from a bad home so to speak, but every family has their own problems, and I felt like I was not being protected from certain things I percieved as bad. I don't think government control is going to do anything, there are always ways around it on the web.
