I'm not so sure it'll help the anorexics as they look in the mirror and see a fat person, doesn't matter how thin they are. I have known two anorexics and both couldn't see themselves as others did.

I agree, but on the other hand, it might open some eyes as far as friends and family goes, to help people like this.

Thats so sad, that poor lady There is a lady at work that I think is aneroxic IMO... shes so thin its gross!!! In Ottawa I saw this young lady (maybe 20ish) & my wrist was almost the size of her calf!!! Everyone was staring & gasping, as she was just so sickly looking!!! My sister isn't that aneroxic, but she needs to keep her weight over 100lbs.. she likes being at 190lbs, but thats just too thin & she looks gross... Shes 120lb right now & I darnwell make sure to let her know I like her at 120lbs & nothing lighter, as she looks gross then.. but very pretty & soooo healthy at 120.. she should be 135lbs as we are a larger skelital structer compacted into short woman bodies lol I should get less then 140lbs as I start to have major issues health wise.. 140 is my body healthy weight.. however I think I'm back up to 160-170 A lot of stress caused me to sit at home alone & not move & munch a lot. When Digi gets her shots I can walk more, as doggies need lots of walking

Everyone thinks Joe is Anorexic But hes far from it. He eats like a horse, but his body will not store any fat, so hes a walking skeliton. Hes completely embarassed of his body. He wears big clothes & in layers to hid his thiness.. Hes only 125lbs & about 6' tall, & he looks about 160lbs in his clothing.. Poor lad recently learned a hard lesson about trying to look fatter (or what he calls normal).. A clinic Dr. OD'ed him & he was sick for weeks with horrid anxiety attacks. He was always contacting me to see if he was really acting normal... Poor guy was crying & everything... Hes ok now & I'm so glad!! Hes my best friend & seeing him that distressed pained me.



Anorexcia needs to be tackled at the source & sadly a lot of the times its the parents fault! I've seen it!! Parents making their kids only eat small amouts of food & say if you eat more, do you want to be fat?? Those poor poor children

Most people don't even know fully what anorexia is. I correct people all the time in conversation when they mention bulimia and anorexia in terms of purgeing (which is a common symptom of BOTH). Anorexia goes much further as it is a constant, whereas bulimia often fails because the behavior is normally episodic. Anorexia, by the time it gets to a point of hospitalization, has a very high death rate.
