Sorry if there is already a topic on this, but I think it's time for an updated version.

Is it just me or am I hearing more and more about eating disorders? I really hope it's because more and more people are seeking help and being open with thier problems and not just that it's effecting more and more girls.

These days it's very difficult to block out all the media. We all know what the idea of the illusive "perfect woman" is. But, there is no such thing. It simply doesn't exist. No matter how beautiful a girl seems, she has a flaw. Our only choice is to love ourselves for who we are. If your family and friends don't show you the love you need, give it to yourself. Treat you body well, and take care of yourself. Tell yourself that you are exaclty who you are meant to be and you're doing your best.

You guys need to realize that it is a mental disorder. It's up to you to fix it even though it's not your fault. You do have the power to change youself for the better.

It isn't worth it to ruin your health just to shed a few pounds. And actually when you starve youself, you body goes into "survival mode" and tries to burn as few calories and use as little nutrients as possible... This means you're tired, your hair falls out, your finger nails don't grow well, and you end up looking very sickly.


Take care and never stop believing in yourself. It may sound totally cheesey, but that's what we need to do.
