check out this ANOREXIA forum.

Busy, you are perpetuating a cultural expectation amongst black women,by
continually glamorizing the "thickness" of their asses.

Between 50-66% of black women are considered "overweight" and not just
in a "cultural" sense. It's due to numerous causes, diet and socioeconomic factors being large contributors.

Is this not an unhealthy mentality? (I'm not posing the question as a rhetorical one)

My grandmother, on my biological fathers side of the family died from hypertension.




Peace brotherdoobie

Good point doobie.

However, I should have said phat ass and not fat ass. A phat ass is one that is in shape but thick.

Look at some black porn and it will probably be evident...but for that matter so is white porn.

Another thing too is that I know of no black woman who ate a ton to get that phat ass. One can't direct where the "phat" goes (unless it's surgery).

Either way, what I said in no way perpetuates black women to eat more. Do I glamorize it? Damn skippy. I do the same when a white woman has a phat ass (even though it's not as often).

Agreed, a phat ass is not a fat ass!

Peace bd

oh and yes there are black people who suffer from eating disorders. Although it is a predominantly white disease. Although there are fuck loads of black people who suffer from other disoders such as COE.

....and? I know there are black folks with with anorexia as well as COE.

manker: i think they did. because some people seem to be dropping pretty heavy hints of some of the threads there. and besides no one else but people from this forum has been attacking that site during that period of time. based on what some of the idiots here have posted i wouldnt be shocked if they did.

obviously no ones going to admit it so ill leave it to karma to bite their ass and a pretty shitty ass it wil be.......

[Busyman]

you guys, Anorexia is no laughing matter.

Also you're assuming that it only affects females, in fact many men suffer from eating disorders...

The thing about the support sites is that as much as everyone wants to recover, everyone has a distorted image of what's beautiful, so yeah they think someone underweight is beautiful, but at the same time they dont want to think that.

They think that by telling the girls that the are beautiful and by reassuring them, it will stop them from losing more weight.

Andi, the girl who's pictures you've been posting has been in recovery multiple times, but eating disorders are a hard thing to get over. She is currently in recovery now. TRYING desperately to get over a disease which has taken over her life.

As a recovered anorexic I know how hard it is to get over, even now I still have a skewed perception of myself. I would never consider myself as beautiful, although people say that.

Most people who suffer from eating disorders are survivors of abuse. They find it's a way of coping for them. It's a mental disorder WHICH CANNOT BE HELPED.

It is also a disorder that isn't very understood, most hospitals will feed a patient to normal weight and then send them on their way but never treat the underlying problems. Recovery takes YEARS of phsychiatric help, alongside medication. It is a 24hour task for most people.

People do not "choose" to be anorexic or bulimic, despite what some of you morons think.

Laugh at them all you like, just make sure you're informed about what you're laughing at.

IT IS NOT A VANITY THING. It comes from low self esteem and is a control issue.

Seriously, some of you are far more fucked up than any of those girls on the site. It's like laughing at someone with cancer. It's sick


And for those who went to the site...there are very FEW girls there as underweight as Andi, most are at a normal weight range.

Tbh, a person stops as a result of molestation or physical abuse, to me doesn't fall in the category.

There are a number of things people do to like stop talking, over eat, not eat, turn violent, blahblahblah.

I laugh 'cause these folks we see glorify it.
I laugh when you were simply taunted about your weight, you yakking all your food and simply stop eating. Gotta go.

Well, I won't judge them without knowing for definite. You're right about the karma thing tho'

Fuck off, Busy. If a person stops eating because of that then they are just as bulimic/anorexic as the next person.

You said bulimics were fucking stupid in direct reply to me relating something that had happened to a girl I went out with. She wasn't yakking up her food because she wanted to be thinner - it was because she felt disgusted about stuff that had happened to her when she was younger.

Sure, you're not to know that but then because you don't - you think maybe you could keep your uninformed, dumbass blanket statements to yourself.

Cheers.

busyman: god your such a fucked up loser arent you. ok in some bizarre way i actually try to understand what the fuck ur constantly spewing out.....those girls dont put their pics up there to get 'glory' you dumb fuck. i cant deny that there are some of them who do that intentionally to get compliments but that doesnt give you or anyone the right to attack someone whos really sick.

so if there was a support group for cancer patients and they posted their progress pics...what ur going to say their fucked up too for gloryfying cancer! god do you even make use of 0.00000001% of that lump of cells called your brain!!

andd the fact that you have the nerve to actually defend for fucked up perceptions. your such a fucking typical-self-absorbed-righteous-assy american!

america aint perfect but ass holes like you give that damn country a bad name.

[manker]

Peerzy?

[sArA]

I think anyone suffering from any psychological disorder should be treated with sensitivity and consideration.

However, there is also a great need for humour even in these sort of situations. Without humour, all that is left is either attack or a patronising pat on the head...neither of which is helpful to the sufferer.

And yes, I am talking from experience...not me, but someone close to me...they assure me that the odd piss take helps to see the funny side of the ridiculous, but that you have to know where to draw the line.


btw...just a little warning....anyone found to be posting tub girl on here will be banned...no second chances.

Oh jeez STFU. I'm mostly talking about anorexia. Bulimics at least have some sort of logic to their "disorder". I said gotta go 'cause I couldn't finish. The bottom line is someone may do many different things due to trauma.

It's amazing that it's still culturally based yet it's a disorder. I disagree 'cause I see the shit to a lesser degree in women that already skinny but think they slim down (these folks are healthy though). You remove the glorification of the "model look" and anorexia is eliminated.

It may be trauma that triggers it like molestation or simply someone calling a woman fat but it's still laughable for the person to latch on to looking like a skeleton and thinking "I look great".

I actually I was initially talking about anorexia (hence the topic) then you generalized anorexia and bulimia together ('cause they involved eating) and then I touched on bulimia.
