Anorexia & Boulimia Options

[loljuliana]

yeah i've seen it acouple times. some of my friends do it. i dont bother to comment, it annoys the hell out of me.

[yeseulx3]

there were xangas with pictures of really skinny girls...
and they kept on commenting how beautiful they were.
it's sad.

[multifaceted]

thats just sickening to see them pictures

[nyctophiliac]

Yeah, I've seen tons of those because this one girl I knew had a xanga & she was anorexic and she got tons of comments everyday from other girls like her. I've seen a bunch of blogrings like that too. I was looking at this one girls the other day & she had pictures of Adrianna Lima and other models and was like "ohh my thinsperation for the day!" and I was just like wow...pretty pathetic.

[*jooleeah*]

I've seen those sites. It's just sad. Really, sad.

yeah, i found all of those a while back. i mean, i dont know what to think of it because i dont really have the right to judge because i am neither of the two, and i really dont know what it is like/why they do it. but, disturbing yes, but i'm not going to pass judgment on it.

[jue]

dont really know what to say till after i actually see them for myself.

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

I find it sick, why can't they just exercise like the old fashion way it's better than starving yourself or throwing up.

[rOckThISshYt]

Wow. I've never heard of that. That's horrible. I really don't know what to say, though.

[starlette]

if the your avatar pic is you, you can't be! you look fine!   
anorexia, is like where people think they need to loose more and more weight even tho they are already skin and bones! and bulemia is where you throw up alot of food. middle school taught me all those things  ! lmao!

actually you are wrong. You can weight 300 pounds and be anorexic. Get it right. I know. I've been there. well..not 300 pounds, but anorexic without being skin and bones. so there. And bulimia is where u try to starve yourself, then u binge and eat toooo much food, and then trow it up.its a vicious cycle.

[rOckThISshYt]

I'm anorexic

Oh my god.. You don't look it. You're beautiful. But there are other things you can do to keep up a good body.

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

i know a girl from my old school who's anorexic and bulimic. i feel really bad for her, shes trying to get rid of it.

i wouldn't ever do that to myself.
1) i love food - haha - sucks for me
2) i can't MAKE myself throw up...lol

edit

And bulimia is where u try to starve yourself, then u binge and eat toooo much food, and then trow it up.its a vicious cycle.

almost sounds like me. except i dont throw it up and i dont try to starve myself. lol i just kind of forget to eat for a long period of time, then eat soo much its close to TOO much lol

what pisses me off is that i have some friends at my school who are way too skinny, for the main reason that they have extremely fast metabolism (these people are guys) and i know that most of them eat A LOT (much more than me)... and they practically look anorexic, especially one of them. no im not pissed off that they're skinny. im pissed off because one of them thinks of himself as "normal weight" when hes definitely underweight and he looks really unhealthy. And he goes around calling other people fat and he tells me i should go anorexic. i hate him so much when he starts saying stuff like that, not only to me, because i think hes gonna eventually ruin someone's life.

Eating disorders scare me. But I understand why people have them. Anorexics usually feel like the only thing that they have control over is food, so they like the feeling of being thin and eating tiny portions. Bulimics just don't have control, hence why they binge and purge. And society doesn't really help with all the skinny people advertising everything.

[*mona lisa*]

Eating disorders are neuroses, a category of psychological disorders. It's because of the way your mind thinks. Someone may see all this fat when they look in the mirror, but it's not really there. It's also partly because of the media which pressures you to "improve" your body image and make you feel inferior.

[sweet_devil]

Isn't it hard to become anorexic? I mean i could never survive without food.

[demolished]

Well, eating 3 diary products( a day) daily can help you lose wieght, do a some excerise can help because its better then not doing it .. a 5 min. workout is worth it.

[rOckThISshYt]

Annorexics don't just stop eating all together. They just eat rarely and in really tiny portions. It's pretty sad actually....

[mocassinsx29]

I read this thing that said real anorexics/bulimics [is that how you spell it?] try to keep their disorder a secret so I think they're doing it for attention. =/ Unless those sites also give tips on how to hide it...

[sweet_devil]

Annorexics don't just stop eating all together. They just eat rarely and in really tiny portions. It's pretty sad actually....

i kno its sad, i'm just pointing out, that it must be really hard to basically starve yourself...naturally occasionally eating...i still couldn't survive without my normal amount of food though...

[Rikkiismyname]

OK Yeah i've had my experiences with dislikeing my body but then again so does everybody. Some take it farther than others and those who take it a little too far are those who begin Anorexia and Buliemia and then post it on the websites. I think it's just horrible that girls, and guys too sometimes, would ever subject themselves to such torture. I wouldn't be able to last a day witout eating, I start getting headaches, dizzyness,then i throw up and pass out. Well then again i guees that wouldbe kinda bulemia but it's only happened once and so then i started eating everyday. But i still think that people should just be happy with themselves and if they're not then they should talk ot their parents or their doctor for safe ways to lose weight instead of starving themselves or making them selves throw up/poop/whatever else they do to get skinny.

Aneorexic girls don't quit eating entirely, they just eat much less then you're supposed to. They eat a much smaller meal or occasionally fast. Currently, I suppose I'm borderline aneorexic. Last week I was in Barnes and Nobles with my mother and passed out for a few minutes. I guess that shook me up a little but I'm still persistent.
As for being bulemia, I can never get myself to do that. I just physically can't get myself to vomit.
Some people though take it so far it's kind of scary. This one girl, on xanga, gosh.. it gave me nightmares. She was so extremely skinny. But I guess that's what ana (anorexia) and mia (bulemia) do. It's so addictive.

[Bballangel2003]

Hey, sometimes they can't effing help it... it's also a psychological thing

It’s just an addiction like all the others (alcohol, nicotine, etc). If you have the willpower, you can overcome it. Yes, it is psychological but so is the solution to the disorders.

I also agree with whoever said that it has a lot to do with our society. The average dress size for a woman is a 10 but you don't see any size 10 models gracing the covers of "Vogue" and "Glamour".

I wish people could just be happy with just being plain old healthy, not rail thin! But I know its hard to be happy with yourself in a society full of starvation diets and plastic surgery.

[xoxvietbabyy]

It's not right to make yourself through up to be skinny. Go excersize!

[everclearshorty]

i think it is wrong but i have a friend who used to be both, or at least she said she was, she never really got real real skinny, but she would call me and i could hear her throwing up when she would tell me to hang on

i think that if you want to be that way then its fine but i know some girls and guys make it up bc they want the atttention. and i think that is wrong, people die from this and its not funny or cute or anything remotely attractive to tell people that when youre not.

and im not saying anyone on here is lying bc i dont know a single one of ya, but i do know people that do it.

and i know that you cant help it, it does become addictive. ive actually thought about it, but i cant bring myself to do it.
