No Thinspiration

The crazed world of cokehead Lindsay Lohan is blown wide open by the burly bodyguard who quit looking after her… because it was too DANGEROUS.
Lee Weaver has told of his two years of hell with the stroppy starlet as the News of the World reveals yet more worrying pictures of Lindsay — this time wasted in her squalid bedroom.

Weaver, 48, tells how the 20-year-old Mean Girls star:

ATTACKED a gun-wielding cocaine dealer for ripping her off.

SNORTED line after line with Simple Life star Nicole Richie in a TEN-HOUR binge.

SLASHED her wrists with knives, sobbing that she “didn’t belong on this planet”.

ENJOYED frenzied lesbian romps with scores of girls she picked up at parties — and even made a play for chart star Mariah Carey.

“I have looked after some of the wildest stars in Hollywood — but never anyone as out of control as Lindsay is,” says Lee, 48.

“She had a total death wish and took more drugs and drank more than anyone I’ve met.

“I lost count of the times I thought she was overdosing and had to carry her out of parties. Every morning I’d breathe a sigh of relief she was still alive.”

Lee spoke out after seeing our pictures of drunken Lindsay last week, pretending to cut a pal’s throat with a kitchen knife.

But any weapon — even a gun — doesn’t faze her if she’s gagging for cocaine. “In April she asked me to take her to her dealer in Beverly Hills. I knew if I refused she’d go alone — so I took her.

“He was waiting for her in some bushes. Suddenly she started screaming and punching him for selling her short.

Nicole Richie, daughter of U.S. singer Lionel Richie, has reportedly fired her personal stylist over concerns about trust.

The 25-year-old co-star of “The Simple Life” has ended Rachel Zoe’s 2-year tenure as her personal stylist, and one source claimed that trust was behind the controversial fashion guide’s dismissal, Us Weekly reported.

“Nicole didn’t trust Rachel anymore,” said a friend of Richie’s of last Tuesday’s firing. “Zoe didn’t take the news well.”

A representative for the stylist, whose fashion efforts have focused on size-zero actresses Mischa Barton and Lindsay Lohan, has claimed that the split of the former confidantes was amicable.

Us Weekly said that to fill the 35-year-old’s fashionable spot, Richie has hired actress Jessica Biel’s stylist, Cristina Ehrlich, to find her an outfit for the upcoming American Music Awards. (you can see her look at the pictures)

I was watchin for some thinspiration videos and I’ve found this.
I hope it helps you.

Some of the comments in youtube are amazing:

Great video kat! It makes me sad to think about what I’m doing to my body, but I can’t say it’s being done in ignorance. The pictures were very powerful and a more honest look at what our society glamourizes.

I had no idea that Terry Schiavo’s bulimia caused her vegetative state… and I recovered from bulimia. Good job, the video was amazing.

I was searching for extreme ways to lose weight and become anorexic because I thought I was a fat stubby chubby. But then I saw your videos and said to myself, “Heyyyy. This shirt isn’t a large. It IS a medium. Aha!” You should go public with this information. <3 <3 <3

Thank you, very much for showing the true side,my councelors and theropist all seem to try to candy coat (no pune intended) the truth of my disorder, you are a really blessing, and a help, I will refer back to your videos often, if you don’t mind.

Thank you for these videos so much. The diaper part made me cry….I get so angry at people who try and make eating disorders seem glamerous, meanwhile I have woken up to find I cant control my bowels from laxative abuse. Soooo glamerous and fun. You have some majoy guts to post these and know you are very appreciated and making a huge difference.

I hope that THESE images are burned into the minds of suffering anorexics and bulemics. These are the kinds of things that show the REAL truth about “Thinspiration”!! Excellent job! I really like it that you showed the “families of” too. I heartily agree with kelsarob’s comment.

The ONLY (th)inspiration that we should be looking at are you and your messages. This video brought tears to me when the casket and the family was around. I had almost died and my family was devistated enough from that trauma. Again Thanks a LOT. I love you kat.

What do you think about it?

When you’re hungry, take a nap. Shower, drink tea, numb your taste buds with teething gel, give yourself a manicure. Do anything but eat. These are some of the tips that “pro-ana,” or pro-anorexia Web sites offer to those who choose to restrict their eating.

These Web sites gained popularity the last few years as a kind of support group and community for those who have accepted anorexia as a lifestyle rather than a disorder. They have also become a source of national concern as those with eating disorders reinforce self-destructive habits and ideals through the Web sites.

Before this year, there was no actual study on the effects of viewing the Web sites, but two MU researchers, Anna Bardone-Cone and Kamila Cass, have published a pilot study in “European Eating Disorders Review.” Their larger study about the topic is being considered for publication in an eating disorder journal.

There is a format that comes with a pro-ana, mia (bulimia) or pro-ED (eating disorder) Web site. There’s the “thinspiration” section filled with pictures of rail-thin runway models and celebrities, sometimes accompanied with their measurements, “to set better goals for yourself and to keep on track,” as displayed on “Shophisticated,” a pro-ana Web site. There’s also the “reverse trigger” section, composed of pictures of morbidly obese people, greasy food and “fat” celebrities.

CBSNews is also talking about thinspiration and sites: “Kids Learn Harmful Behavior From Pro-Eating-Disorder Web Sites And Recovery Web Sites”

Teens with eating disorders are picking up dangerous tips from both pro-eating-disorder Web sites and sites designed to treat the problem, according to a new study.

And though most of their parents know about the pro-eating-disorder Web sites, few sit down and talk to their kids about them.

The so-called “pro-Ana” Web sites — shorthand for pro-anorexia — offer tips on extreme weight loss and purging. They suggest that believing one can’t be too thin is a lifestyle choice, not an eating disorder. The sites often offer strategies for avoiding detection by parents and doctors when purging. Site forums allow teens with eating disorders to share tips and offer support.

These sites usually carry “thinspiration” pictures — sometimes shocking images of extremely thin young people.

How much do teens with eating disorders and their parents know about these sites? In an effort to find out, researchers surveyed families of patients age 10-22 treated at Stanford University’s Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.
