Shocked
I found this pro-anorexia community on LJ today while randomly following links in peoples' profiles and I have to say that I'm deeply shocked.
Of course I know that things like anorexia and bulimia exist and I know that not everyone sees them as a serious disease, but this obvious display did shake and disturb me. You should read the comments of those young girls congratulating eachother for having eaten nothing else all day except for an apple and diet coke.

urgh... I know how shocking it can be. I read my Sis-in-law's blog once and text in there was pretty harsh. But to those who only see themselves as fat, because of what someone said or something, dieting is only way of "feeling alive". I watched that quite near and I still can't understand it.. Never will, I think.

Me neither. I also think it's dreadful how high the number of relapses are among the truly ill :(

Ugh...You know, I am overweight and on a diet right now to get back to my normal weight, but I can never make myself go to extremes like some of those people do...I can't understand how they see it, it makes zero sense to me;can't they see they're hurting themselves??

I think the people who are really suffering from anorexia DO realize and know that they are hurting themselves, as many of them have said themselves, but are still unable to stop, which makes it such a horrible condition.
What scares me as much are the many girls (and guys evidently) who start fasting and pruging and all that stuff, as they call it to be like some imaginary idol and then end up anorexic and bulimic.

O.O Wow that's creepy! I can't believe they'd actually allow something like that...but then again it is freedom of speech. *gee* I'm also currently changing my diet to loose weight, but I HIGHLY doubt I'd ever give up eating all together.

Eating healthy and doing sports to be fit and in shape is, if done responsibely, a far cry from what those girls do.
