I suspect that either could be considered worse than the other, dependent upon which one an individual is suffering from!. I doubt a person bedridden from obesity would think of anorexia as being worse than their condition!. On the flip side, one who suffers from chronic cardiac arrest as a function of their anorexia would likely not think their condition as being better than obesity!. The nature of our subjectivity is truly based on the perspective we find ourselves in sometimes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

BOTH are potentially detrimental to your health!. Just as unhealthy as it is to be too over weight, it is also unhealthy to be underweight!. Both can eventually lead to death!.!.Anorexia possibly sooner!.

Obesity generally occurs over a period of time!. If one restricts food intake to an irrational extent it will lead to dehydration, refeeding syndrome/electrolyte Imbalances and of course malnutrition which can cause organ failure!.!.to name a few!.

Obese people are more at risk from cancer, diabetes (type 2), arteriosclerosis, hypertension and other heart disease etc

To Ina above!.!.you have some serious misguided incorrect views!. It's actually worrying that you think being anorexic is actually BENEFICIAL to ones health!? There is a SIGNIFICANT difference between being slim and anorexic!! Anorexia is a mental disorder!. It is very worrying indeed, to hear teenagers actually talking about anorexia being cool and healthy!.

I have to disagree with the ignorant poster who said obesity is greed!. When one is a few pounds overweight then YES that can be classed as over indulgence, but when people are 200 pounds + over -weight one has to wonder if there is a mental disorder there too!. Like an addiction to food!? Often very obese people are feeding their MENTAL hunger rather than their PHYSICAL hunger!. There are similarities in behavior between an anorexic and a very obese person!. The same control element is often present in their way of reasoning and until the world starts to understand and recognize obesity as an eating disorder, there is little hope is treating obesity, it is no point telling a fat person to eat healthily!.!.you can get fat eating healthy food (including fruit and vegetables) if you eat too much of it! It's all about the quantity, and the reason why some people continue to eat even though they are actually 'full' and others stop when they are full!. I actually went to an obesity management course at work recently and it was very interesting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anorexia!.

I was classed as obese and now I am average + a healthy weight for my age/height!.

With anorexia, most people suffer for the rest of their life!.

They are both bad, but anorexia is slightly worse, like I said, people can lose weight very easily (if they have the determination), anorexics can't quite help themselves as easily!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OBESITY is the worst thing baby , you know why !? because its harder to lose weight than gain some extra lbs !.

in the other hand ANOREXIA CAN BENEFIT YOU , first of all because you can become a model , second because all the clothes you want will fit , and the best of all is that if you propose yourself to gain weight you can definitely do it !.

BUT if you are OBESE , its gross , stinky , horrible and big !.

i'm telling you the TRUTH , i consider myself anorexic but im not dying , any place i go , guys follow me , im a size 0 , and people that see me ask me if im a model !. its good !.

just not skinny bones , but a size 0 its totally good looking !.

and fat people get all kinds of diseases , HEART problems , HIGH PRESSUSE , DIABETES and they look gross !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hard to say!. Many people who are obese are fine with the way they look, or are even 'proud' of it, which means they're less likely to do anything to get healthy!.

Anorexics seem to be more likely to be noticed and treated!. I'm naturally bony and whenever I go to a doctor, heck, even when I just spend time with people beyond my immediate family, people are always asking if I eat enough, or try to sneak some more cheese on to my plate, or tons of annoying stuff like that!.

Since I'm scrawny, people have no problems telling me that I'm 'too skinny', or that I should eat more!. Since I'm in the minority it's okay to hassle me about my weight!.!.!.god forbid I say, "Hey, pudgy, do you really need that second helping of potatoes!?"

They're both bad for you, but at least other people will intervene if they think you're anorexic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

depends on if you mean health wise i guess!.
i would hate to be obese though being my weights bad enough i think obesity is because of greed and can be helped they just chose not to,
anorexia is a mental illness its NOT a choice as many people think!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anorexia isn't a solution to obesity!. It is a disorder and people who suffer from it need to seek counseling!.

Are you trying to rationalize your behavior!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

anorexia!. it affects the person overall and more than obesity!. but obesity can be a wide scale!. slightly obese is okay, but hugely obese, hmmm!.!.!.that may be worse than anorexia!.

either way, both are bad!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anorexia - Anorexia is an illness that some people suffer for the rest of their lives from!.
I'm not saying obesity isn't serious but i think it is easier to get back to normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its normally easier to gain weight than lose it, but they are both serious illnesses!. i don't no whats worse, to answer your question!. it depends on the extent of the problem!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anorexia- they look scary thin, and it's more dangerous than obese!. Obese people could just drop one unhealthy food at a time, and lose weight slowly, but anorexics won't even eat!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anorexia- you are way more likely to die from it and it is more of a problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
