same thing happened to me
these movies they show have girls saying how horrible it is
but then you think they are so skinny I want that
and some can just say all right Ill start eating again
no problem
but the thing is you dont know which one you will turn out to be
and there's always a risk of dying
why increase your chances of dying right??
its not wrong to think that way though
its just trying to find a fix to a problem, but its not worth it =]

yeah once you go at loosing weight, you'll go to anorexia then it goes to suicidal... SO DON'T GRANDMA IS WARNING YOU!

Most people do not do this to lose weight. They do it because they have serious mental problems that are a result of a poor body image. These people are usually not overweight. God made you who you are. There is nothing wrong wtih working out and eating less, but do not do anything dangerous to your health. You will get terrible headaches and feel like you have the flu all the time. Live your life and don't live for what other people think about you.

why don't you just go on a diet and exercise? you must have not been paying attention because anorexia isn't the way to go. not only is it completely dangerous but it eventually slows down your metabolism completely until you stop losing weight and hit a plateau.

safe yourself, your friends, and your family a lot of trouble and just go to a doctor and ask him/her what to do if you want to lose weight.

well its not wrong to think like that ( alot of girls do) but its not healthy! dont do it, talk to a doctor for another diet, its really not good for you and skinny ppl get made fun of just as much so its a bad situation, u will regret it. listen to ur MIND...ur body doesnt have a brain

YEAH GIRL
people think..oh im gonna not eat for a few days and then i will start eating agian...but no, your body devolps to you not eating and what ever you eat will either come back up again or you will start eating MORE b/c your body hasn't had any food in awhile. you need to keep eating, if you want to lose weight start working out and EAT, go on a HEALTHY diet, because when you dont eat, your body literally starts eating itself by eating away at the lining of your stomach...yeah gross
your body will thank you if you eat HEALTHY not by not eating at all
its really not the way to go really dont do it to yourslef its really bad for you

It is NOT the way to go...don't do it seriously. I have/had it. I think it's something you never get over. Yes, you'll lose weight, but you'll also lose your hair and your skin will look pale. It becomes and absolute obsession. Once you finally decide it's time to get help, you are so screwed up and afraid to gain weight. You will get nauseous with every meal you try to eat and you will ahev a distorted body image...for good. I have stopped with the obsession about eating, but and still obsessed with my body image. I still would say I need to lose weight, but I know it's just a distortion and it honestly sucks. Don't do it. Diet and exercise and once you are at the weight you want to be just maintain it.
My lowest point ...I was 14, 5'5" and 80 lbs...seriously...don't do it..

MMM- look on the sites of of that and see what they actually look like- Not so slim and pretty ! Please stay the way you are ...You are beautiful ....

I wouldn't do it. I did it, lost tons of weight.. enough to die. I gained it back because I had to. Now I am messed up. I am still REALLY thin, but I always feel really fat, I am depress all the time, only thing I can think about is my weight, and even if I wanted to get anorexia skinny again I couldn't because it screwed up your metabolism, and you never can eat lots of food again w/o being huge.

Also.... I probably will never be able to have kids.. because of how much I screwed up my body. Not worth it. I would do almost anything to go back to before I developed a eating disorder.
