I have always been attracted to thin women, but now I'm not so sure if I should use that word. The type of women I've always been attracted to were in physical shape. You can't be in physical shape and be as skinny as the ladies these anorexic's aspire to be at all. To have well defined muscles and a flat stomach is what women should be triying to be. They shouldn't be trying to be skeletal. The thin-skeletal look is grossly sick looking, the women of that nature just look like they're starving to death. Now when I'm at the gym and I see the really skinny girls on the treadmail I want to run up to them and tell them to eat and stop working out, or maybe atleast lift some weights!

How binging and purging and bulimia always seems to be linked to people who just throw up every little thing they eat. It's more like eating what most people would not even eat in a WEEK, eating foods that you feel disgusted after eating and feeling the4 need to go back and eat them again and waste all your money on it and THEN purging. Oh, and we're not all bending over all toilets, I know that I fell into it was laxative abuse and it's hell and I tell myself a million times I'm never going to be perfect enough or end up the way I want but I can't stop. People with real eating disorders aren't so shallow, there are deeper problems than just wanting to be thin. WHY does this stupid girl think that it's all about wanting to be thin? It's about control, about getting every little detail right and trying to be the best. Sometimes completely unrelated to celebrities and the media. People should just shut up. You know what I LOVE?

I didn't choose this. No one who has true anorexia does. Like Scott, I don't want to be treated like a "freak child". Sorry.

But that's just an opinion. Don't feel guilty or sad, just be aware of what you are doing to yourself, and then choose what you wanna do but keep your feet on the ground. It's awesome to have a nice body, to be pretty, and desired, just take care of yourself, and your organs, you will need them. Food doesn't only turn into fat, IT ALSO BECOMES IN ALL OF THE CELLS THAT COMPOSE YOUR BRAIN, YOUR HEART,and your organs, take care of them, and you will be just fine. We don't know each other but if you need me write: annie12@gmail.com MARIA: don’t feel bad, I know that Kat only means well, I personally think she looks pretty healthy. But that’s just an opinion.

U do not look so healthy yourself there missy. So what is up with that? U do realize that the guilt that u put onto someone with ana or mia is overwhelming, which pushes us farther deep into it for comfort and reliefe? Did u know that smarty pants? I guess not. Fine to show the other side but do not pretend that u know what it is all about. Why did you have to have that tone about it all? No cooth that is why, no tact that is why. Or maybe just plain jelousy!!!!! Ok so now i think u are a bitter woman who is herself suffering all the time and needs to make sure the the statment “misery loves company” is true to form.

This video is not helpful to people who genuinely have anorexia nervosa... this might scare deliberate self starvers out of it (and that's all you are btw, you can't just give yourself anorexia), but the tone did nothing more than piss me off. It didn't help, it didn't make me want to stop, it just made me want to give that ignorant woman a slap. I knew all of this stuff already, I know what I'm doing is bad for me and that's why I try to work with it in a positive way. Replacing unhealthy methods with healthier ones is much safer than bitching at people like they're five years old. Because what does that do? It turns people off to you straight away, that's what. Part of what goes on in a person's head when they look at thinspiration and websites promoting a pro ana lifestyle, is rebellion. They're fed up with people telling them that they're wrong and that they're bad, so they're rising up and rebelling, they're saying fuck you for not helping and treating me like a freak, I'm going to enjoy life how I want whether you fucking like it or not. So, if you're appealing to these people, and trying to help them, you might want to try NOT sounding like every other critic out there, because we get fed up of hearing critics. I'm going to carry on as I am, and I won't change until someone from the anti-ana side of things learns to talk to me like the adult human being I am, rather than like a fucking moron freak child. Nice try, but you fail. I have to agree with ielena on this one.
