Answers:
i feel sorry for them, not because they are trying to be thin, it's got nothing to do with that!.

i feel sorry for them because they are so mis understood!. it has nothing to do with body image, okay it might in a few cases turn out like that, might start off slow and then get out of control, but the majority have been branded as something there not, there not trying to be beautiful or skinny, they have had a traumatic event in there life that they don't know how to cope with, and loose control of there body!. there mind works against them, they body and mind attack them, and there isn't a way out that they can see, they punish themselves because they have to, it's not a choice!. there are a lot of mental health issues with it as well!.

i could go on and on, but i don't think most people would understand what i'm talking about and thumb me down!. ignorant fools!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i am against it, its a serious illness, you could never be for someone torturing themselves inside and out!.
i wouldn't call it 'disgusting', they don't see how they look and what they are doing, it is an obsession and illness that they can't get out of without help!.

I wish that everyone who suffers from it can get help and stop hating themselves, no one deserves to go through it, and i hope that people with any other eating disorders or who want to be 'anorexic' get help, as it is so easy for someone to fall into this illness without realising they're losing control to it!.

edit- insane thumbs up! someone i knew got anorexia after being raped, they punished themselves as they felt dirty and out of control!.

its a difference reason for everyone, you can't bunch up 'anorexic' each experience of it is different from anothers x xWww@Answer-Health@Com

A lot of them are perfectionists!. It's not just like they think, "Oh, I want to be skinny, so I'm not going to eat," all of a sudden!. People who do that are probably just looking for quick results and won't last!. It's mostly in the mind!. Some see those skinny bodies as perfection, and they need to achieve it at all costs, or they feel worthless!. Some feel gross have any extra fat even if it's barely any, and I think even some want to feel invisible!. Also, some people who have this disease strive to be something different and don't want to be just ordinary or average!. I'm not trying to make it out like an attention disorder with that last reason!. That's something in the mind as well, like not feeling satisfied just being average!. It's like, if they really wanted those stick legs, and asked someone what her legs look like, with a reply of, "They look normal," they might be very disappointed to hear that, and want stick legs even more!. Also, they may feel like a beast compared to others, even if they're already skinny as is!. Many people also say it's control issues, but I think there is more issues than just control!.

The influence of high fashion models also affects some!. Models are chosen soley on their appearance, unlike singers or actors!. That makes them seem like the ones to look up to when it comes to appearance!. When people see 'the look' that makes someone a fashion model, they want it!. It's not necessarily that they just want to look like a model, that's just where they get the idea from!. If fat was ideal, and models who were fat were chosen, then it could be the other way around, who knows!. I'm not saying that models are a main reason for anoreixa, and I'm not blaming the media!. That's just one influence!. Again, these models aren't encouraging anorexia, because it's in the individual's mind to turn to something like this!. They only give off the look that a person decides to take after once they're already a little metnally unstable or OCD-ish!.


Another theory or reason behind some cases is because girls know that boys/men probably want women who have 'curves', big butt, boobs, etc!. They want to be the opposite of what they want!. They get grossed out by the fact that they're physically sexy to guys if they were to be regular!. Some just see thinness as a sign of being regal, and independent!. They feel stronger when thin, and not a man's idea of beauty!. Oh, and that's another thing!. Some people superior and stronger when seeing others eat, and gain weight, while they get thinner!.

There's just a lot of factors!. I don't know which is the most common!. Some would die trying to be thin, and although it may seem absrud, a person would have no idea unless in another's situation with their perspective!. I mean, being a healthy weight and what most people see as average would make one with an anorexic's mind unhapy as well, so it's not more productive as them being too skinny (other than the being physically healthy part); either way, they're going to be miserable, even if to them being thin seems like the way to happiness!. They're harming themselves; they're not mentally happy or satisfied!. They're stuck, and even if they try to convince themselves they're happy or being skinny is what they want, how can a person who goes through this struggle everyday and put themselves through the extra trouble because they don't like themselves be happy!?

Encouraging self acceptance isn't a good treatment!.

It's not a beautiful or 'artistic' disease, even though many thinspirations make it out to be!. People who live a healthy lifestyle are probably having a much more fulfilling life!. Think about the boily damages anoreixcs get over a period of time!. Is that beauty!? Is death really beauty!? It's a wasted life over pointless reasons that they just aren't aware of until it's too late!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Any kind of obsession is unhealthy to the human mind!. I myself suffer from body image and i don't know where you get the idea of being a beautiful!. If anything it very painful!. I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is weight myself in hopes of loosing at least 1 pound from the night before!. During the day all I think about is how hungry I am but how I should not eat because I'm obese!. So either I wont eat all or if I do eat I have to think how Am I going to trow it out!? Is there a private restroom around, How long will I have to wait to get the food out!. When I finally get home from work I weight myself again to see how much I gain that day!? If I haven't I'm happy! and that makes may day If I have I can't concentrate for the rest of the day!. I then get ready and go to school (college) During the break I'm starving and I want something really bad!. If I can't control myself I eat something and at that point im craving anything that is sweet!. I eat it and as soon as I'm done I feel horrible I want to trow it up!. I can't do at school because their public restrooms and someone can here so I have to weight until I get home!. Once I get home I tell my mom I'm going to take a shower so I go to the restroom undress myself put the water on so there is noise and my family wont here me gagging!. My throat hurts and I bleed a little when I stick my finger in!. I then take a shower and when I get out I go to the kitchen because I am very thristy!. I know I am hurting my body I could feel it now!. I wish one day I can think different I have a normal life other than my secret problem but to answer yours question I think that no one deserves to live like this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have fought with anorexia for about 5 years!.!.!.its a battle!. I am much much better now!.!.I am not for it but i'm not against it either!. Its really controls your and once its got it grasp you can't let it go easily!. But no it isn't a healthy lifestyle at all!.

I still thin skinny/bones are beautiful, but what you go through isn't!. I think you can never be to skinny, but thats my opinion!. Anorexia is a diease and it does kill, and it not something a lot of can help!. IT causes many many problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anorexia is a sickness, and I am against it!.!. Anyone who wants to be anorexic should get some help!.!. Plus, I have seen alot of anorexic girls, and omg I dont understand why they do that to themselves!. I find it disgusting honestly!. Dont they realize they can be slim and still look fabulous!? They dont need to be too thin!. If one of my friends were going through that, I'd help them get out of it!. I cant even think of becoming anorexic, it scares the crap out of me!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would say against!.!.!. But that would make me a hypocrite as I am a "recovering" anorexic :(
The thing is that when you are anorexic, you don't see yourself the way you are!.
When I see pictures of other anorexics I feel sick :/
I think anyone who is for anorexia and thinks it's beautiful needs their head testing! xD
It's not fun :/

Anorexia and being obsessed with body image is a sickness, for sure, but it's a sickness of our society and values rather than of an individual!.

So, in this regard, I'm against it!. But I have great sympathy for those individuals (mostly women or girls) who suffer from this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's an illness which effect's you mentally!.!.!.i knew somebody who went through it and managed to come through it!.!.however, it did take some years and a lot of support from family and institutions that specialise in that field!.!.!.
