Audrey I've seen those and they're horrible! The one I saw was talking about how Victoria Beckham is the ideal woman and one girl made a comment about her "lovely bones sticking out". Too sad for words.
What are ednos?

u know what when i was in high school my friend was deathly skinny with her bones sticking out and all.. i never really paid attention because i though that she was naturally "thin" and then i found out from some other friends a few years after high school that she was anorexic! you know what was more depressing than to find out she was anorexic, that guys at school actually thought she was hot!! Its the image the media builds for women and girls that is more astonishing and sad.

Eating disorders are dangerous illnesses. They aren't something to admire, they are a cause for concern. Anyone who hates themselves enough to try to starve their own body out of existence needs serious help.

I battled anorexia pretty much all my life- I'm proud of it but I overcame it last year. It tears me up inside to see people wasting away as I was and it does a number on your self confidence.

I had bulemia when I was 14-15. My dad used to make everyone clean their plates or they got a spanking. I'd eat all my food, then when he left the kitchen, I'd eat my little sister and brothers' food. Then I'd go barf...after awhile, I didn't even have to gag myself...I'd just over and YAAAAACK! I'm fine now though....and glad it didn't take long for me to stop doing that dumb stuff! I had a stepmom who would say I was fat, a grandma who would, and I was actually almost under my weight range...which also contributed to my low self-esteem then. My daughter started going through puberty and shot up from 4'11 to 5'5...her weight went up to. No one is allowed to tease her about it or comment at home...I'll beat that arse! I feel it's important for her to build up her self-esteem and eventually she'll lose it...the pediatrician says she'll be at least 5'10...soooooo she's runway material..just doesn't realize it right now!
Believe in Magic!

i think food is to good not to eat, and those with disorders about their weight, oh man are they missing out on some great food. I believe that is a very real disease that people get. I just put it this way, i could die tommorow, so heck, im not missing out on that delish cimmimon roll i can eat today, corney but true! girls enjoy lives too short

i am all for food....as long as i can still wear the same sizes of kids clothes i have always been able to fit into without having to go on some crazy diet or participate in any exercise i am happy. lol

I like to eat way too much! I can't imagine ever having an eating disorder.
I just wish that it was easier to keep the weight off. I was good until I turned 25ish - ever since then the scale has been slowly creeping upwards. I sure would like to lose about 10 pounds...However, I am absolutely unwilling to stop eating.

wow what a depressing poll. ppl in developing countries who have to run after their food to catch it don't have ed's they just don't have enough to eat and there are no fat ppl.lol
