There is a big problem with so-called 'celebrities' They mirror the mind-numbing, obsurd and pretentious world of the fashion industry. They often wear the latest fashions that are modelled by clearly malnourished, wafer-thin models. We have to start looking at the people responsible for promoting 'size zero' as a desirable concept. It is not.
Ladies, I know you all want to look your best and be beautiful. Eating little is not the answer.
Read Explaining colours to a blind man. Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness and an eating disorder is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.
i have anorexia a severe case & was just released form the hospital after a month my weight was 87 & i am 5ft 4 it is a h--- of a thing to try to recover from. this last time i was in the icu & almost died may god bless all of you dealing with this you do have relaspses but this time was my worst
I'd like to compliment the upload, but you haven't been on YouTube in 8 months. Hope you are all right. My daughter suffers from an eating disorder. It's harder to beat than heroin or nicotine. She's down to 72 lbs. and her major organs are showing signs of failing. For anyone who has the "oh, just go eat a sandwich" mentality, you know NOTHING about the disorder and I'd suggest you get your facts straight before commenting about something you don't understand.
The media and all the "girly" magazines projects an image to men. Women want to look like the models and look good for their men. Well I say the hell with that. Just be healthy. Keep the weight under control for being healthy only. Tell the men to kiss your butt!
I'd just like to point out that not all of those celebrities mentioned have actually suffered from an eating disorder, for example Jessica Alba. Other than that, touching video.
2 other famous women suffered from anorexia the same time as Karen. They were Cathy Rigby (gymnastics champion) and Cherry Boone O'Neill (daughter of Pat Boone, who used to perform with her father and sisters on different t.v. shows).
I am one of the few men that have suffered from anorexia in the past. It truly is a debilitating disease, and it never totally goes away. Those thoughts will always be in my head. But I learn to control them. My lowest weight was around 118 plbs and I am 6'1. I am now a healthier 187 plbs
yeah this is a creepy yet needed to be done this way including showing these ladies over the toilet. I mean this is creepy. and the sad thing is karen got into that mess because some stage producer told her to lose ten pounds and she was barely 102 pounds at the time and she went for it and it was downhill from there. I wonder how that man feels now?
AnselAdam,thanks 4 posting these videos..i really appreciated what yoou've done,inshaAllah i hope that this video would awaken those with eating disorders,life is beautiful,Allah gave to us so let's live it to the fullest!assalamu'alaikum!
I was just watching this video up close on my Laptop....And that picture of Karen how she looked before she died,brought a schock feeling through my body!It was a horror death-mask!My God...poor Karen..and no one could help her...She was so beautiful..brings up the alltime famous 3letter-word:WHY???
Now day everybody should be thin, look at al the MTV video s, Young girls and boys getting the whole wrong idea how life should be, i think thats why the youth thinks that the ar fat.. but we must do something about that
ok i dont think u need to change relli anythin, but coz i ave anorexia which sometimes switches on and off, i found it quite depressin and sad, especially on dead peepz bit and now im startin to wish i hadnt seen all of it, coz i feel relli bad and sad now, uh geez and to improve i wuld just not do so many pics, coz ater a while u may start to feel queasy and for me very emotional
I miss her voice, yet her true voice was to help make others aware of the pain and suffering that so many of us have and do endure, I am thankful for the gifts she gave us. The video was clear that we as a society place too much importance on appearance. Ladies love yourself period!
Yes, I'm probably too harsh and rough around the edges. I was going to put that, but I wanted this not to be an inspirational video but a motivation video. The ending is very subtle and not nice. It is saying, "Don't let yourself get too frail to fight." Is that wrong?
I liked this clip. It worked well and was very factual. Although i never knew that Japan was also had the highest death rates towards he death of eating disords alsong with the USA. Can i ask you where you that fact from?
Thanks for your comments! Eating disorders in Japan ballooned 10-fold between 1980 and 1998. It is now in second place with the USA in total numbers, but death rate by capita is twice that of USA. See NationMaster dot com.
your video is very good. i just have a few critisim. i agree the music does get very very repetitive. and i found it almost to long, i find movies that are really powerful dont go overboard on the length. it was good though, i have an ED and i found it not insulting, a little sad but it also made me angry at myself. i dont know. but you did well.
>> i have an ED and i found it not insulting << Great! This is what I wanted to hear. Repetitive... yeah, making it and listening to it over and over got very old. Maybe I'll swap one of her other songs out in parts.
anorexia is such a terrible illness it breaks my heart to see it happen to a young woman who still has a whole life ahead of her but dies from it this is a wonderful video to get it out to the world about anorexia
Audrey Hepburn is what pro-Anna sites point to as slender without an eating disorder. She never admitted an eating disorder but her yoyo weight and depression cause the experts to think differently. You can decide. She was 5' 7" and dropped to 94 lbs at one point. (42.6 kilograms)
I had enough stories to fill a couple more hours. These weren't necessarily the best/worst but shows somewhat a range of people. Nuxk, why do I feel that I'm the only one not going to a recital? With you, dabiribd and ryanstewartmusic, I feel like I need to buy a piano. Like I told Ben (dabiribd), I barely mastered how to play the radio in my car. You guys all sound great!
this made me sad! as a younge teenager i too almost got that bad but thanks to the love of my mother i got over it. when i see those images it makes me think of what could have happend to me i think perhaps the names of the celebrityies sould stay up for longer to show that they dont actualy look good they look like theyre dying
Good point about the names, and thanks for the feedback! I had a hard time deciding if it should be a "blur" with a few recognizable names or allow ones to be read one by one. So I did something stupid and did an in-between. That part of the video does bug me and slow it down on the next vid (besides adding many more names).
That's a great comment! For you young folks, parents are your rock. Make no mistake about that. And even when you're much older, as well. If you need their help, tell them. Sometimes adults need to be woken up that you may not be going through life as smoothly as they had when they were young.
Wow, this is so sad. thank you for bringing such attention to it. You went to a lot of work to put this together. I commend you for that. I hope this will move someone with an eating disorder to get help. Who knows you may be saving lives!
I hope so in my own little way. Every drop counts, I think, and I hope some will be on the edge where this vid turns the light bulb on in their head or has them at least wonder where the light switch is located.
Yeah, being perfect is perfectly impossible. - I would attribute that quote to someone but since I just made it up, it's probably just nonsense, LOL. Anyway, I think being left or right of center is just fine. It's when you got to the far edges and stay there for any length of time do you get in trouble.
Thanks raven! And thanks as well for your video post. It is great and I like the quote from Bill Cosby. I also like how it draws you into the end. Thanks for sharing!
Well, thank you, dabiribd! I'm going to consider your post, your autograph, and clearly it will be very valuable in the near future. Folks, if you are ready to be amazed, and I mean REALLY amazed, take a look at dabiribd's videos. He is an astounding talent!
This is the best and moist indepth one i have studied for an assignnment! Its like i said to another ana movie "This is what Hitler did to the Jews, Gypsies, disabled and different. They didnt have a choice - starving to death was one of the "nicer ways to die". But ana sufferers do, they should think themselves lucky that there's chocolate, butter, bread and pasta availble to Them."
Thanks for trying, you have done a great job and im sure your efforts have been appreacated.
Thanks for your comments vicaragechick! What they see and what we see are two different things, I'm afraid. As far as the "nicer ways to die." When I worked in a hospital the staff had a dark humor slogan of, "The safest place to die is in a hospital."
Hi I'm sorry that I offended you with my Karen Carpenter video and the facts that I got wrong. The point of me making the video wasn't to discuss eating disorders or a singers death but to put a song really fast on the record player and dance around. Anyway I did not get any of my facts from this video because I was not aware of this videos existence until you left your comment so no worries. Oh and please don't kick my ass :-)
LOL! Nope I wasn't offended but scared that my video encouraged you and you saw it after I made my first post on you and your friends video. And yes, you looked really funny dancing around real fast... you did that well. I wasn't being real factual either... I wasn't going to kick your ass, but wring your neck instead :)
This video's shock effect would only work on the healthy mind. To the mind plagued with an eating disorder the images of all the thin people would only serve to inspire them.
You might be right. I tend to think truth is the best medicine and this video is intended to present the unhidden facts. For those that beat this disease the truth without preaching is what slowly gave them strength. Many treat these patients with kid gloves as though they are too fragile where in fact it is the disease that blocks the truth which makes them fragile. So there is a fine line that no one has yet found in my opinion... nor have I. Thanks for your comment!
This is the best video I have ever seen so far in addressing this dreadful painful disorder. Please get it as far into every School and youth Club and every place who will display it. Doctors waiting rooms. But wonderful as it is unless there are people prepared to help no shock tactics will be of use. Thankyou so much for all the time and effort you have put in creating this video
I didn't plan on responding to every comment but now that I started I don't want to leave you out Jessyca. I really appreciate you taking the time to post and your comments mean a lot.
