Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
People who are that insensitive will never change their opinions. They possess an inate inability to see from someone elses point of view bourne of stubbornness and arrogance. He who thinks he is always right will never see his own mistakes and will go on justifying what he does or says even though its obvious it may be wrong. Don't rise to the insults, its not worth it.
I would like to point out that I joined this forum before this thread was started, not because of it. I just couldnt keep quiet.
Busyman and your ilk, if you do not have the ability to see things through other peoples eyes, acknowledge they might be going through something which is causing them pain that you don't quite understand, but are able to feel compassion for them, then your personal relationships will always be a struggle. Unless you find somone who will consistantly bow to your opinions and will, which, lets face it, is the kind of
relationship you guys would want.
muchspl3. You are a cock for your purging comments, a c~nt for your hamburger post, and a wanker in general for your attitude. Didn't really want to resort to insults but in this case.... :dry:

I tried to start a drawingroom thread but no-one seems interested... :(
I'm surprised this thread hasn't been closed, and the serious posts moved over there to continue the discussion... That would have kept the juvenile element out of it.. Oh well.. :mellow:

Shit. I thought you'd been specifically chosen from the AA forum by their admin to come here for the purpose of pwning idiots like Busyman.
Nice to know you'll be sticking around (pardon the pun).

I much prefer a discussion thread in the lounge.
I already know what people are going to say in the drawing room, before they say it. It's boring.
You get a better mix in here - for good or bad.

Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
@ tinkerbell....those insulting anorexics have already been shouted down in this thread. As far as I am aware, no one from here has owned up to the 'nasty' tub girl pics.
The thread has not been closed because it has provoked a very healthy debate despite the insults.
After having visited the FF forum myself though, I was very very disturbed at the comments encouraging further weight loss and find it appalling that a site supposedly to help victims of this dreadful condition would allow such comments to go un-moderated.
-
Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
Sara, it's a support forum, not a recovery forum. There is a big difference. People support the people who already have ed's. Some of them may not want to recover.
That's the difference...so yeah some comments may be more "pro" than others. And generally encouragement of further weight loss is to a healthy goal weight.
Look at the bulimia section, most girls will advise others not to purge etc.
-
Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
But it claims not to be a pro-ANA site? :unsure:
I'm now more confused.
Even the google banner ads are confused... :wacko:
http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/2017/googleban2mx.gif
Two are to help anorexics, and one is to help you lose weight... :pinch:
Still, they've stopped guests viewing the threads there now, so at least someone is doing something finally... ;)

So are you indicating to me that 'support' in this context also encourages further weight loss?
With regard to the bulimia section...you state 'most' will advise not to purge, again, I cannot see any justification for allowing those that encourage this behaviour to post.
This makes me strongly think that this site only pays lip service to helping people to come to terms with and seek treatment for their condition, and is actually closer to a pro ana site than it is admitting. This I find more worrying than a site that is open about its motives.

Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
It has become that because of a lack of moderation. And yes support sometimes means letting people make thier own mistakes but being there for them when they realise.

It's like giving a kid a gun with live ammo, and letting them play with it. Sure they'll learn from the experience if they shoot themselves but we of course have good hospitals these days to fix such injuries.
Just seems a bit strange that's all :ph34r:

...is what folks should strive to look like. 12 year-olds. Devoid of certain womanly features. Christina above actually had a breast reduction but it was career purposes...understandable.
I always say first and foremost it's how you are inside but physically it's not about how much you weigh but whether you are healthy and then how you look at your weight.
To me Christina Ricci is just short of looking anorexic so I'm not surprised by some that think she's a beauty.
She's also in the movie industry and very visible.
I personally see too many beautiful "around the way" woman.

Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
Busyman I posted those pictures because all the girls i posted have/had eating disorders but are still considered some of the sexiest women alive.
-
Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
Besides Christina Ricci doesnt look like a boy, she is VERY petite, only 5"1 and she is a perfect weight for her height. She is also one of the FEW celebrities who hasnt conformed to the norm anorexic blonde.

She lacks hips (at least in the those pics). She looks like a little girl.
Jessica Alba, I like. :D ...even though she's a little petite. I like Amazons.

Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
By many men around the world. You only have open FHM, Maxim or other such like magazines to see them or similar looking women. Many of whom are smaller.
Jessica Alba suffered from anorexia, is she stupid too?

She sure was.
By licking that bad habit, look where it got her?
Btw, I have read those mags (and actually get Maxim and a couple others free thanks to hippychick :01: ) but I like the bods in King, Smooth, Smooth Girl, and Black Men magazines but they have some of the same women in them.
-
Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
she admitted to it after she slimed down for honey and then for sincity. She's still anorexic. It's not something that goes away overnight, she admitted to having anorexia about a year ago.
once again not a bad habit....
ok and here's a list of celebrities that got themselves somewhere by losing weight
Lindsay Lohan
Nicole Richie
Paris Hilton/Calista Flockhart etc haven't done so well since gaining weight
-
Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
hmmm quite a predicament you have yourself in...Jessica Alba has maintaned her low weight since her admissions
-
Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
I can put my hand on my heart and tell you I don't find stick thin women attractive at all. Who wants a bag of bones ffs?
-
Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
that's wonderful, i care so much about who you find attractive.
Anorexics dont find themselves attractive, it's the disease of the self loathing. AND has NOTHING to do with wanting to look attractive for me

Re: check out this ANOREXIA forum.
well poke it up your bum then :P

I'm sure somewhere in this myriad of posts you said it was because of the pressure (or imagined pressure) of having to conform to look like the attractive girls in the magazines and films

What about when you were an anorexic? :lookaroun

But you can bet they'll live longer, not have osteoporosis and are probably healthier too.
Eating Disorders are not habits, they are an illness. As I have already pointed out. But Busyman and I will never see eye to eye on this. Personally I think he's rehashing all his old points which we have all already blown out of the water, because he cannot reason and formulate an argument based upon new information recieved.
Stick thin is not attractive no, but these women cannot see that, they think they are not attractive as they hold too much fat. It is a symptom of the illness they suffer. Yes we all aspire to be as attractive as possible, and for most women, (and men regarding women) thinner is more attractive. Where to draw the line though? Its easy for someone to start off dieting, then end up very ill because their body and mind has kicked into the distructive cycles and their body and brain chemistry changed.

Me?
Hell if ole Jesse was thicker she might still look good.
She also doesn't look like a bone either.
She may also lose weight by not eating versus by having a proper diet and working out like normal folk.
Who be knowin'?
Someone also posted nasty ass pics of skinny ass Lohan and Paris along with the those twin sisters from Full House.
They looked like shit dipped in cheese.
