check out this ANOREXIA forum.

[manker]

I made a general statement saying that eating disorders aren't something to laugh about because a few people found it funny.

You replied to that so I directed my subsequent response at you because the other people who laughed didn't answer. I'm not bullying you, just replying to the only person who addresed me.

That's quite a siege mentality you're nurturing there.

As to your continued mirth, perhaps you could find a forum that discusses OCD - the number of times in a day that those freaks freaks wash their hands is really funny

Anorexia is based low self-esteem, vanity, and extreme sensitivity to what others think. It has a severe cultural relation.

There is also anorexia athletism or some shit where the woman has a thing about working out all the time.

There is a disorder name for almost anything that doesn't fit a small cubby hole of normalcy.

There's probably one for extreme procrastination for all I know.

I've seen the cultural thing of many (especially white) women saying, "My butts too big," and it looks like a little girls butt. Couple some of that with low self-esteem and there ya go and some take "getting in shape" too far.

Maybe if some of this behavior weren't coddled with a name and actually shunned, woman wouldn't think it's the way to go so much.

Some girls learn bulimia from other girls ffs. Some disorder...it's contagious too.

There have been times I ate a whole pack of EL Fudge cookies although it wasn't good for me. I am a massive overeater and eat disorderly sometimes.
Yet I'm 15 pounds overweight.

Yeah, dude. A lot of mental disorders are brought on, in part, by the sufferer. If a person who has a nervous breakdown, for example, quit his stressful job at the onset of the problem, he might have been okay. If the OCD sufferer had recognised the problem and seen a professional at an earlier stage, she might be fine.

If the woman (or man) had decided that image wasn't such a big deal then maybe they wouldn't be sick now. It goes way beyond that once a certain point is reached and the image thing is often not the main factor when they purge.

You only see the small picture. With many bulimics, the problem isn't related to how they want to look - it's because they feel disgusted with themselves, for any reason, and the sickness itself has more to do with a desire to self-harm. It is a symptom of some other, deeply rooted, psychological problem.



Whatever, the point is that the sufferers are in pain and are sick individuals. It ain't funny and it's not big or clever to ridicule them.

Uh huh and with many bulimics they want to be able to taste the food and enjoy it without the weight gain. If that same food had 0 calories they probably eat the hell out of it.

Take a look at the TV show Starved. It's a hoot and a holler.

Btw, what brings on anorexia? I call some woman a fat ass and she takes it heart getting all sensitive and shit so she's decides that being thin is more important than being called a name. I guess I caused her not to eat.

Perhaps if they lived around my area (or one similar) they wouldn't have this "my ass is too fat" problem. It would be "my ass is not fat enough."

I guess that would be a disorder too. All these fat ass walking around...and all the fellas like it....what to do, what to do.

Every culture has a thing about what looks good. Look at the runway models. They are boney as hell. Pelvic bone is sticking out. Yet many think that's sexy. They are a step away from anorexia.

All budding anorexics should be forced to live in southern Prince George's County, MD or Southeast Washington D.C. They will turn(ed) out just fine.

Anorexia is totally different, I don't know much about it.

Tho' I am pretty sure that isn't funny either.

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)

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.

[megan343]

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.

[sp88]

you guys are such fucked up losers. exept for those few who are actually using their brains while they reply to this dumbass thread. its fucking stupid for you to go after these girls..no matter how their eating disorder may have been instigateted.

its morons like you who'd tell a girl she deserved to be raped if she ever did. almost 90% poeple who are suffering from an eating disorder (regardless of their sex) develop it because of a trauma that they may have suffered previously. they dont dont do it to look better you ass holes but quite the opposite. most rape and molestation victims do it so that people will stay away from them. and those who blame themselves find that depriving themselves from food is form of punishment!

so get a fucking life and leave them along. i saw what some of you wrote and god you think these girls deserve to die??? take a fucking good look at yourselves. and whoever posted those gross pics with the girl in the tub.....honestly i wouldnt feel on once of symphathy if you dropped dead right now or even if that happened to you. actually i would pay good money to see that happen to you.

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).

Hmm, I don't think you're going to be as much fun as Megan

I agree with the essence of what you say, I was trying to put across the same points - even tho' I was aware of it, I didn't really go into as much detail wrt girls' personal problems.

However, you don't actually know that the members from here posted those pics or made those comments.

I doubt anyone from here would be that callous.
