WTF! This is so sad...

[Klover]

yet made me laugh.

But seriously one of the saddest things:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

That right there is an LJ community for people who are PRO Anorexia!

It is a bunch of girls bitching about how they ate more than 1000 calories....in a WEEK!! And what do people do? tell them that their weight shouldn't matter? that starving themselves is not healthy? No. they support it. Tell them good job for being 5' 7'' and 95 pounds!

I can't even describe some of the posts. It truly is sad. I want to make comments and let them know the dangers of eating only 250 calories a day, for two weeks...or tell them that they can feel beautiful when weighing average...or that inner beauty is what counts...but these girls are in serious denial.

and thats the worst part. most do not even see that they have a problem. they think people who eat more than one meal a day or above 500 calories are pigs. And that can't possibly stand other people who put food in front of their face.

I guess i'm just really angry that there is a site that endorses such a perpetual illness in our society.

I just.....don't know what to say.


Make an LJ account...enter the community.....read the posts....

These girls have problems that you can't even comprehend so I wouldn't talk shit about them. Even if it sounds rediculous. Cmon

you mean other than anorexia?

[Fizzy]

you should see the mary kate olsen fan page on LJ. there's one centered around her eating disorder, basically glorifying her and making her their role model. they get pro-anorexia icons, support, the works. it's heartbreaking.

Yes,I'm guessing ( Not sure) that anorexia is a byproduct of many other emotional problems in their life that we can't understand to it's fullist. Proffesionals might...Just not klover. I do get what he is saying though don't get me wrong.

Anorexiz is serious i should know i was anorexic at one point and you never ever really get over it. Your always prone to it again.

Klover you can post all you want theyre not gonna listen to you. My best friends tried to stop me the ppl i loved the most and nothing worked. theyre not gonna listen to some stranger. it took me being admited into the hospital for a day with and with an IV giving me nourishment to go wtf.

It something so much deeper then just not eating

Check out pro-ana on LJ.

We all need a place we can feel validated, I guess.

it is ill give you an example you look in the mirror and you could be 100 pounds and you never look thin enough. because weight means nothing unless you look thin. thats pretty much the mind set

[roguernaut]

I agree with LustBunny, it's not something that can be easily changed. I had trouble with eating for a while to the point where I would have fainting spells.

When you have problems like that, no matter what people tell you, you will NOT listen. People would tell me I lost too much weight, and I would look at myself in the mirror and believe myself obese.

It's fucking hard to get over. I don't think you ever really do. I eat healthy again, but I hate myself everytime I put food in my stomach.

These girls are using this as a support system, to help them get through their hate for themselves.

I'm not saying i understand them.

I'm saying its awful that a place exists that ENCOURAGES their problem.

read their posts....


(BTW, to join you have to go through a bullshit application and they monitor your posts. they really don't want people other than anorexics in there...)

why is it awful because you dont agree with it. just because it may seem awful to us doesnt mean it is to them. i mean maybe they think it awful that you post on a website that promotes underground wearhouse parties in down town LA and blatant drug use of everykind. and encourages the use of a number of Drugs

But dude, nobody would care about a pro-cutting community. We'd all have a good laugh about how they're too emo to live.
