Im Jenn and am currently suffering from an ED. My goal is to meet and help others with eating disorders and provide information to those studying the disorders. If you have anorexia, bulimia, any type of ednos, or are addicted to exercise...you are not alone. Sometimes having someone to relate to is a coping technique. If this catches anyone's interest check out my videos. I am not a trained professional, just another human being caught in the vicious cycle of an eating disorder.
nothing wrong w/being thn or sknny in & of itself. wat may b wrong is how u atain that thiness: anorexia, bulimia, dieting. only way 2 desirable figure is by changing the way u eat & being consistent. 2-3 wholesome meals, no snacks, moderate exercise. dieting eventually causes binging. best to consult a registered dietician & follow their advice. lot of people r wrongly accused of being anorexic just cuz ther thin (leanne rimes). she doesn't look it but u don't have 2 look it 2 b anorexic.
pro ana/mia sites are doing the same things as any website/business that isn't supposed to be doing what it is doing...take an escort agency for example...they all have a disclaimer saying that they don't promote sex for pay...really? then what are the guys paying $200 or more an hour for? conversation? please...let's all be real...they have to have some kind of disclaimer to avoid lawsuit...or some kind of retribution.
@sophiadaniel25 Wow you started out explaining yourself so nicely, and respectfully (what happened?) and then you turned into an asshole at the end; now nothing you say can be "taken to heart" because
"I love America so screw you!! comment was uncalled for. I'm an American and it has nothing to do with "loving America" moron.
The Victoria Secret models are NOT anorexic. Their very healthy and very curvy. I think they do have the ideal body because their "tall" which the average person is not, so that's why women fantasize about looking like them because it's unatainable.
We do what we can to create our own self image by disciplining ourselves from food in an overweight, food obsessed culture. I'm sorry but Americans are the fattest people in the world and we NEED to admit that and try to find a balance
you know what the most disturbing this about this project? NIN - closer. When you're choosing music for a school project or whatever, maybe you should search for things outside your regular playlist. or at least find songs with gentler lyrics than "I want to f*** you like an animal."
I don't think media has a big role in what is causing anorexia. I have anorexia but the media didn't give me an eating disorder. And no person with an eating disorder,that I know of, got it because of the media. It's an mental illness,
IF I WANTED TO BE THIN,DON'T YOU THINK I WOULD JUST TRY TO BE HEALTHY? What person would actually do this to themselves because of the media? Why would you try to kill yourself in order to be thin?Do you think a drugaddict really loves taking drugs?..gosh
Also, the rise of anorexia mirrors the increasingly thin models and actors seen in main stream media. There is a huge positive correlation there. I am not saying this is the ONLY cause, but it is the main driving factor; the evidence is undeniable.
Anyway, the media IS the MAIN cause of anorexia nervosa. The person that has the anorexia nervosa may also have underlying problems with wanting to be "perfect" thus they look to the media to show them the epitome of perfection. I am a recovered anorexic,... and if the media didn't portray so many sickly thin women then I possibly wouldn't have been. If the media isn't responsible for anorexia then why is the general public so fascinated with this disorder? Because it emulates images they see.

While media can play a factor in an eating disorder's development, it didn't in mine. I didn't develop this disorder because I wanted to look like a celebrity or model. I developed it because I felt scared and out of control. My dad wasn't the nicest person to be around. I hated my body because of remarks made by my dad. I wasn't good enough for him or myself. I had to be perfect or things would go wrong. Media didn't do this to me. I would like to say my dad did but really, I did it to myself.
See this is a very good video but this was the first video I saw when I started with all my eating disorders exactly 1 year and 4 months agoooo.. like obsessed.
even thought the media is part of it, its more about personal issues. for me it was being obese and ppl would call me fat constantly and this guy that i liked constantly called me fat and i was at the time. so overtime my confidence becuz of being overweight. in feb i became ana for 1wk
at 1st i thought it was nothing just trying to loose weight for Vday. but loosing 10lbs made me continue then i lost 10 more. i either lost of maintained that weight until now.
@rolfeder Dont be fooled, not only tv and magazines are responsible for this disease, its people in general, by telling others they look fat, or making fun of fat people
OMG!!!! this is what ive been saying all along!!! why is it still such a big problem?? why do we keep letting them get away with this??? SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE!!!
Your definition of anorexia is slightly off. The whole not eating thing: right on the money. The reason why, not quite. There is WAY more to it that wanting to be beautiful. I'm just saying that as a victim of an eating disorder, a psychology major, and someone who has been researching these disorders for the past 4 years: the MAJORITY of people who develop eating disorders start out feeling a lack of control, anxiety, stress, or depression before it becomes wanting to be thinner.
Right. It's like a combination of control issues, anxiety, stress, depression, peer pressure, and the media. But the media doesn't play nearly as big a role as people think. I know I didn't care about the people on TV. I cared about myself.
Coloquei gostei, quantas vezes eu poderia morrer, disso.Como gostar?Sou completamente contra, temos o nosso próprio, e gostaria que me aceitassem como sou.
some poeple r naturally skinny and some people r naturally more cruvey or have love handles theres nothing wron with ether one im naturally skinny but if i was to ain weight i would not become anorexia ive seen girls with love handles be very very pretty and christina is not even always a size 3
"A pshycophysiological disorder" .... LOL. They need to take it out of the books and just categorize it to "stupid people", or "lazy people". Healthy food and exercise .... *gasp* .... actually work! Are some people really too stupid to grasp that concept? I guess so.
In the words of George Carlin (on anorexics) "cunt don't want to eat? fuck her!".
@westcoastlovely must be anorexic,denial is always the first phase.And yes asshole.its is a mental disorder.and u calling them stupid isnt going to make ur fat white ass look anymore attractive or thin for that matter.and ya exercise and eating right *gasp...do really work u might want to try it sometime.a wise person once said."Fat ass eat to much?use ur hot dog as a dildo cause ur gonna have alot of lonley nights ahead of ya"
@sm1Ley50 So first I'm an anorexic, then I'm a fat ass? You *almost* know how to argue, but not quite yet.
No sweetie, my weight is just fine. My MIL died from anorexia. And yes, I think she's a stupid bitch for leaving behind 4 kids all because she was "afraid to get fat". The number the scale said was more important to her than her own children. Dumb. Bitch.
I used to be like those girls. I was obsessed with eating healthy and being skinny. Now I can say that I'm comfortable with my weight and I don't consider myself as being fat or skinny, but normal. It's normal for teenage girls to gain weight during puberty but they will eventually lose it off. If you don't like yourself, then why does anyone else deserve to like you?
I've found that the younger girls mostly start off with Anorexia because of the media- that's where the idea comes from- but eventually it becomes something more than that- something much deeper- it becomes an intoxicated addiction that isn't about how thin you are at all. your self deprivation becomes your own liberation. . .
It also has a lot to do with parenting. Kids who feel secure and loved at home, and who are given plenty of opportunity for growth in a safe environment, are far less likely to gravitate towards any form of self destructive behaviour.
It's also important for parents to tell their kids how ridiculously controlling the media is, and to tell them the truth - that it is controlled by 3% of the population who would like to keep us all in a cage - completely controlled in every way...!
This is basically a video dictionary of anorexia therminology for normal people. It's impossible to say by numbers how many anorexia forums I've been to before I started looking for help.
@sohamthe2nd you're an absolute fuckwit if you think that a comment like that is a joke...and you probably will defend it because you didn't think about it before posting.
Post your "humorous" jokes somewhere else, this shit is serious for a lot of people
And who appointed you spokesperson of all youtube viewers? I think its funny. I will post what i like. And i laugh when people like you get provoked by it. Why? Because I fucking can. So stop whining like a little bitch and deal with it.
FYI : I did think about it. I knew some loser like you would be provoked. And I'm glad you entertained me with your stupidity. Now go fuck yourself.
Yeah. I definitely put up with starving myself to death because of television. Not. Do more research. The majority of those affected by this disease are highly intelligent, over-achievers. Not your "average" 4.5 hour a day t.v. watchers. We read. We write. We do any number of amazing things. Until we become sick. I'd say I became anorexic because I was in pain. Intense emotional pain. Not because I wanted to look like some actress.
@literallyempty WORD, I'm anorexic true and every part of your post is exactly true. There's no flipping way I wanna look like those actresses, I don't care about magazines or tv, I have bought a grand total of one magazine in the past two years and if I watch tv which is rare, its the news. my anorexia is caused by alot of awful events and having no control over my life after a certain point it drove me to control eating.
@literallyempty because you're so intelligent you would realise that this vid is about how media can influence and not specifically YOU. It is not saying this is why YOU have anorexia but commenting how anorexia is publicised and even glorified in media.
@sashaeloise I agree that the media can definitely be a trigger, and I do have a problem with the over-representation of underweight women within it. However, there is a difference between a trigger, and a root cause. I was only shedding light on what the DSM has to say about the disease of Anorexia, and the "usual" types of people it affects, whom I happen to be among. It's just frustrating when something as life-threatening as this disease is chalked up to the simple desire to be thin.
those pro-ana websites are sick telling people how to lose weight further my friend was 5'10" and got down to 65 pounds and she still thought she was to fat, her "lifestyle caused her to end of suffering from a fatal heartattack" it isn't a lifestyle if you end up with no chance of living end of story/
i remember as a kid, that i had no one to relate to image wise, there was all these voluptious women with big boobs, that i didnt look like, even my classmates were developing, then Kate Moss the model showed up on the scene, i then i thanked God that i had someone to relate to. I, at that time, was a really little girl, naturally thin, but what happened i think is that people like Kate Moss (maybe) became popular, and everyone started to want to be that thin..but unhealthy, ?
the media contrributes, may trigger the individual to diet, restrict on food. but the media alone is not the sole cause. Anorexia Nervosa has been dated back 200 hundred years ago, so familiar enviroment, pressures, the individual itself, their charactersistcs play the part. I personally beliave that a person is born with anorexia, its just a matter of time for when someone or something has triggerd it to start off, diet, exc. people who have perfectionist tendancys, trying to be 'perfect' ,
I'm absolutely no pro ana or stuff, I think they' look horrible actually, but I don't get the deal with obese people either; pretending that you deserve the right to be fuc*able as a fat lard, no way. At least, black people like fat asses, but the white average fat red-neck, better to go cry to Oprah.
Wtf? What the hell is with the song "closer" in a video about anorexia?? Its about wanting to have sex with somebody! I can't imagine anybody wanting to have sex with an anorexic.. I mean.. the sound of those bones clacking together would be a huge turn off...
people need to learn you have to eat to loose weight. a little serving every hour or so of something healthy like a banana or apple or some type of dish with low calaries. then a good work out an hour a day, there are a lot of diet tips and foods that art and aren't good for you depending on your body type. I wish girls would just stop the mental image or fear of being fat. if you want to loose the weight do it the right way, and keep a balance diet and stay healthy while doing so.
@stabats123 I'm not anorexic. I'm actually obese. But with that comes a lot of the same emotions associated with anorexia: self-hatred, self-disgust, fear, depression...Only instead of not eating, my particular brand of psychological disorder is self-harming in another direction. I have depression, mood swings, and suicidal tendencies. I couldn't finish this video because it's triggering too much anxiety and hatred toward myself.
My anorexia started because I hated myself. I hated the way that I looked, the way I thought, the way I let myself get picked on. It had nothing to do with weight. I just got so disgusted with myself, so depressed, that i stopped being hungry. I gradually ate less and less because I got addicted to the empty high feeling it gave me. I did not need thinspiration, I starved myself on my own without the weight less intent. (I ended up in the hopsital for over 4 months anyways)
@Punkotronix I'm ok, but I relapse sometimes when people around me die or are seriously ill. It's my way of coping. I try to keep it under control. It's like being an alcoholic, everyday is a struggle. It does get easier after a couple of years. I've been struggling with it for over 7 years.
The media has nothing to with Anorexia! It's internal... NOT external. Depression is a big cause. Anorexia is suicide... a slow way of killing yourself. NOT a girl's easy way to look skinny or diet plan! It's failure to thrive.
When I first developed anorexia, it had nothing to do with media. In fact, very few people I know who are anorexic (I know very many through support systems and therapy) do it simply because they want to be thin. Weight and food is just how we focus our anxiety. Some of us just wanted to disappear. It gives us something to think about other than abuse, rape, neglect, whatever the real reason is.
So I'd say media is far from a major cause. Actually, I was a little offended by this.
There is such a huge difference between disordered eating and eating disorders. People who start a "diet" and end up starving or binging/purging have disordered eating, because their main goal with their eating habits is weight loss. Eating disorders...mine started because I was so depressed after some major life events and I just stopped eating and couldn't start again. It wasn't about weight until later when people started telling me I looked good...and then saying I looked sick.
thats what herbalife is made for that company was made for a reason and that reason was to have a proper weight being healthy The man who made the company mom was a model that was doing a unhealthy diet and died so thats why the man started herbalife that helps both overweight and underweight the point is to be healthy please massage me for more information
"HOWEVER it is a major reason. Agruing otherwise is ignorant, and uneducated." that is a stupid thing to say. Media is NOT a major reason for the development of e.d. Its used as (th)inspiration when an e.d is developed and is rarely the reason behind. I talk from both experience and knowledge having suffered from an e.d for years & been through therapy and studying to become a nutritionist for eating disordered.
Behind every anorexic is someone with a controlling personality, Do some research, ask some questions from those who suffer from this horrilbe disorder. I have suffered from this disorder, at 45 I have a digestive system that forgets how to absorb food because I starved myself so much as a young adult. I now have a 21 yr old daughter, who weighed 99 lbs last year, she has gained 13 lbs so far in her recovery process. I feel to blame.
@essay1965 Very true! I developed it because my parents were control freaks- along with probably the abuse, the instability of my life. Anorexia gave me control over something major, my own apperance, over losing weight which seemed so hard for others and I felt content I could lose it so fast. Developing heart problems in junior high wasn't fun, and I pray that your daughter gets well soon XoXoXo
The media does play a huge role in eating disorder development. Do you know how we know this? We know this because Anorexia Nervosa is an isolated disorder, it is prevalent in Western countries only.
This is their parents fault. First of all, children shouldn't watch that much TV in the first place. Secondly, they're children for God-sake....their parents should MAKE them eat. You can't blame the media for anorexia. If their parents exercised some control and influence in their lives this would never happen. All the people in the world that can't afford one measely piece of bread and these kids won't eat...can't help but think this is completely ridiculous
i dont like tv. it fucking sux. MTV sux, its for people who dont have a life and so they have to peek and stalk other peoples dates, rooms and lives. though discovery chanel and natgeo are good.
@XFrostxOnxFireX You develope a fear of food by over thinking how you look, or focusing too much on a disorted image in the mirror. once you take a bite of food, you imagine its "regrets". idk thats just my expirience. its not good at all, you over think it all and thats how it started for most ppl i know.

I had anorexia & it was pretty severe & I would just like to say that most of this isn't true (in my case). It wasn't about looking good at all or caused by the media and I wasn't ever into "Pro-ana" or "thinspiration". Anorexia was a way of coping with things in my life. I went through something really traumatic and looking bad made me feel safer. It also gave me a voice, made me feel more in control, and was a way to punish myself. I find this video kind of offensive.
I had someone very close to me who struggled with Anorexia.. I wrote a song about her story, it's called Genevieve and there's a video to the song on my page. I'm trying desperately to spread the word about eating disorders so people realise how serious it can be! Please check out my song Genevieve if you have the time. Thanks
don't be be put off by stupid people commenting mean things. you can never avoid those idiots no matter WHAT you say, do, or look like! they're EVERYWHERE, spreading their stupidity like rabies.... of course the media never forced anyone into becoming anorexic, they just plant the seeds.
Anorexic people need to be force fed until their so fat, they'll be couch potato lards. Or they should be taken to Somalia to sit down with people starving involuntarily and tell them that they also feel they're fat.
I can relate! I'm 5 ft 7 inches tall and weighs 300lbs. The world treats you cold when you are fat! People can be cruel; I suffered this when I was in grade school and high school. The answer is NOT self destruction! The answer is to remember no matter what, God loves you! He made you beautiful and special! You have one life and somewhere, you fit in. You may not see it and you might not know where you fit in until you are older, but God has a plan for you! Pray to him and He will show you!
@prophetbyronmotley Did lack of prayer cause you to gain weight? You don't have to pray b/c clearly prayer has nothing to do with you weight. You need to go to a gym and lose weight fast. 5 ft 7 in, 300 lbs is pretty much playing rush and roulette with your health....it's not really a question of IF you'll have a heart attack or stoke, but WHEN.....30 minutes, 4 days a week is all it takes. Get it done.

THIS video and many others dont include the other factors that contribute to anorexia nervosa. i have suffered from this EVIL illness, iv been recoverd for about 5 months!! im porud of myself and i wont let that voice in my head take over me.. its about bioligical also, no lonly magazinez, but a persons characterisitcs, like perfectinism, shyness, insecure, family problems, and wanted CONTROL!!
bull, you don't get anorexia from the images around you it's a feeling of self control and will power, you get influenced more by your own surroundings than by that of the people on the T.V however media can take a part in a persons idea of what is beautiful.
Ugh it makes me so mad that poeple always say anorexia is cause from music videos and movies, I hate that poeple think it's all about weight. This video is pissing me off.
As somebody recovering, I think your video is good to educate the general public. The images you use can be triggering, though, so I wish the title contained some kind of clue about that.
I think that your video was excellent. It really got into my head. Im not an anorexic, so yeah, maybe those people are right when they say that you dont understand, and I probably wouldnt understand what they go through. However, I still thought it was great & im going to use your video as a source on my research paper that is on Anorexia Nervosa =).
@Razor 745 I'm sorry, but I suffer from anorexia nervousa so that makes me stupid and careless? Actually people with anorexia are quite carefull as how they stash away food and how we can pull tricks to hide the disorder. I hid mine for 8 months. My family only submitted me to an eating disorder unit (later psychatric unit) cause I collapsed and had psychotic depression.
@Faust8t so if someone contracted a life threatning deases they are stupid and careless? An anorexic mind is confused and complex. I understand what anorexic people go through as I have sufferd form it yself. So is your comment a sexesit remark? So males cannot get eating disorders? I'm sorry if this all sounds rude but I don't think anyone should diss and acuse anyone with a mental illness. I think it is slack and horribale and just plain cruel.
I highly doubt that the media is influencing people to become Anorexic. If people are in the real world more often they can probably rationalize. Unless their stupid; in that case they deserve to be anorexic.
I don't care if they're anorexic. Obviously once they BECOME anorexic then they will have trouble coming back. But this shit like "the media is making us anorexic" is bullshit. The media is fucked for it's own reasons. Because it's mindless bullshit. But people really know how to fabricate a belief by jumping to conclusions. Shouldn't we have bigger problems to worry about then anorexics? Americans are wasting their time with this bullshit. And I wonder why we're in a recession.
@catsforangelarose@catsforangelarose Lolno, doesn't work that way by saying "No, the media can't take complete responsibility for people all over the world becoming anorexic, but it can take a big part of it" because you are defending a statement and then contradicting it.
You can't say no the media doesn't take responsibility THEN, blame it but only "a part of it" - without even justifying yourself. Is this your attempt to an alternate opinion? It's a good thing you deleted your comment.
@SiT1986 k no one deserves to be anorexic. And media has a huge influence on why people become anorexic like the video said people see other people that are skinny on tv and they want to be like the people on tv but in the mirror there not. You might not want to be like the people on tv thats why you have a hard time understanding and believeing that the pop culture is influencing people to be anorexic. and i understand you have your own opinion but you also dont understand what its like.
@iLoveRobeat69 Of course nobody DESERVES to be anorexic. This is irrelevant. I can really count on people like you to state the obvious and go rambling onto poor judgments. The media isn't the instigator. See; these videos only SHOW what the media does to people. However they do not directly PROVE it. People are able to sustain themselves from following the media. They have to perpetuate the rationale. As much as I have grown to detest the insufficient ways of media, I cannot say they do it.
yadda yadda

The Victoria Secret models are NOT anorexic. Their very healthy and very curvy. I think they do have the ideal body because their "tall" which the average person is not, so that's why women fantasize about looking like them because it's unatainable.
We do what we can to create our own self image by disciplining ourselves from food in an overweight, food obsessed culture. I'm sorry but Americans are the fattest people in the world and we NEED to admit that and try to find a balance

I don't think media has a big role in what is causing anorexia. I have anorexia but the media didn't give me an eating disorder. And no person with an eating disorder,that I know of, got it because of the media. It's an mental illness,
IF I WANTED TO BE THIN,DON'T YOU THINK I WOULD JUST TRY TO BE HEALTHY? What person would actually do this to themselves because of the media? Why would you try to kill yourself in order to be thin?Do you think a drugaddict really loves taking drugs?..gosh

Also, the rise of anorexia mirrors the increasingly thin models and actors seen in main stream media. There is a huge positive correlation there. I am not saying this is the ONLY cause, but it is the main driving factor; the evidence is undeniable.
SHEENA2O 7 months ago
Anyway, the media IS the MAIN cause of anorexia nervosa. The person that has the anorexia nervosa may also have underlying problems with wanting to be "perfect" thus they look to the media to show them the epitome of perfection. I am a recovered anorexic,... and if the media didn't portray so many sickly thin women then I possibly wouldn't have been. If the media isn't responsible for anorexia then why is the general public so fascinated with this disorder? Because it emulates images they see.

While media can play a factor in an eating disorder's development, it didn't in mine. I didn't develop this disorder because I wanted to look like a celebrity or model. I developed it because I felt scared and out of control. My dad wasn't the nicest person to be around. I hated my body because of remarks made by my dad. I wasn't good enough for him or myself. I had to be perfect or things would go wrong. Media didn't do this to me. I would like to say my dad did but really, I did it to myself.

Your definition of anorexia is slightly off. The whole not eating thing: right on the money. The reason why, not quite. There is WAY more to it that wanting to be beautiful. I'm just saying that as a victim of an eating disorder, a psychology major, and someone who has been researching these disorders for the past 4 years: the MAJORITY of people who develop eating disorders start out feeling a lack of control, anxiety, stress, or depression before it becomes wanting to be thinner.

I've found that the younger girls mostly start off with Anorexia because of the media- that's where the idea comes from- but eventually it becomes something more than that- something much deeper- it becomes an intoxicated addiction that isn't about how thin you are at all. your self deprivation becomes your own liberation. . .

It also has a lot to do with parenting. Kids who feel secure and loved at home, and who are given plenty of opportunity for growth in a safe environment, are far less likely to gravitate towards any form of self destructive behaviour.
It's also important for parents to tell their kids how ridiculously controlling the media is, and to tell them the truth - that it is controlled by 3% of the population who would like to keep us all in a cage - completely controlled in every way...!

Yeah. I definitely put up with starving myself to death because of television. Not. Do more research. The majority of those affected by this disease are highly intelligent, over-achievers. Not your "average" 4.5 hour a day t.v. watchers. We read. We write. We do any number of amazing things. Until we become sick. I'd say I became anorexic because I was in pain. Intense emotional pain. Not because I wanted to look like some actress.

@sashaeloise I agree that the media can definitely be a trigger, and I do have a problem with the over-representation of underweight women within it. However, there is a difference between a trigger, and a root cause. I was only shedding light on what the DSM has to say about the disease of Anorexia, and the "usual" types of people it affects, whom I happen to be among. It's just frustrating when something as life-threatening as this disease is chalked up to the simple desire to be thin.

the media contrributes, may trigger the individual to diet, restrict on food. but the media alone is not the sole cause.

I personally beliave that a person is born with anorexia, its just a matter of time for when someone or something has triggerd it to start off, diet, exc. people who have perfectionist tendancys, trying to be 'perfect' ,

people need to learn you have to eat to loose weight. a little serving every hour or so of something healthy like a banana or apple or some type of dish with low calaries. then a good work out an hour a day, there are a lot of diet tips and foods that art and aren't good for you depending on your body type. I wish girls would just stop the mental image or fear of being fat. if you want to loose the weight do it the right way, and keep a balance diet and stay healthy while doing so.

My anorexia started because I hated myself. I hated the way that I looked, the way I thought, the way I let myself get picked on. It had nothing to do with weight. I just got so disgusted with myself, so depressed, that i stopped being hungry. I gradually ate less and less because I got addicted to the empty high feeling it gave me. I did not need thinspiration, I starved myself on my own without the weight less intent. (I ended up in the hopsital for over 4 months anyways)

When I first developed anorexia, it had nothing to do with media. In fact, very few people I know who are anorexic (I know very many through support systems and therapy) do it simply because they want to be thin. Weight and food is just how we focus our anxiety. Some of us just wanted to disappear. It gives us something to think about other than abuse, rape, neglect, whatever the real reason is.
So I'd say media is far from a major cause. Actually, I was a little offended by this.
ProanaEmokitty666 1 year ago
There is such a huge difference between disordered eating and eating disorders. People who start a "diet" and end up starving or binging/purging have disordered eating, because their main goal with their eating habits is weight loss. Eating disorders...mine started because I was so depressed after some major life events and I just stopped eating and couldn't start again. It wasn't about weight until later when people started telling me I looked good...and then saying I looked sick.

I had anorexia & it was pretty severe & I would just like to say that most of this isn't true (in my case). It wasn't about looking good at all or caused by the media and I wasn't ever into "Pro-ana" or "thinspiration". Anorexia was a way of coping with things in my life. I went through something really traumatic and looking bad made me feel safer. It also gave me a voice, made me feel more in control, and was a way to punish myself. I find this video kind of offensive.

You may not see it and you might not know where you fit in until you are older, but God has a plan for you! Pray to him and He will show you!

bull, you don't get anorexia from the images around you it's a feeling of self control and will power, you get influenced more by your own surroundings than by that of the people on the T.V however media can take a part in a persons idea of what is beautiful.

As somebody recovering, I think your video is good to educate the general public. The images you use can be triggering, though, so I wish the title contained some kind of clue about that.
Good work!

I think that your video was excellent. It really got into my head. Im not an anorexic, so yeah, maybe those people are right when they say that you dont understand, and I probably wouldnt understand what they go through. However, I still thought it was great & im going to use your video as a source on my research paper that is on Anorexia Nervosa =).

@Razor 745 I'm sorry, but I suffer from anorexia nervousa so that makes me stupid and careless? Actually people with anorexia are quite carefull as how they stash away food and how we can pull tricks to hide the disorder. I hid mine for 8 months. My family only submitted me to an eating disorder unit (later psychatric unit) cause I collapsed and had psychotic depression.

@Faust8t so if someone contracted a life threatning deases they are stupid and careless? An anorexic mind is confused and complex. I understand what anorexic people go through as I have sufferd form it yself. So is your comment a sexesit remark? So males cannot get eating disorders? I'm sorry if this all sounds rude but I don't think anyone should diss and acuse anyone with a mental illness. I think it is slack and horribale and just plain cruel.

I highly doubt that the media is influencing people to become Anorexic. If people are in the real world more often they can probably rationalize. Unless their stupid; in that case they deserve to be anorexic.

@SiT1986: Yes, dumb and careless people deserve to be anorexic.
Razor745 1 year ago
I don't care if they're anorexic. Obviously once they BECOME anorexic then they will have trouble coming back. But this shit like "the media is making us anorexic" is bullshit. The media is fucked for it's own reasons. Because it's mindless bullshit. But people really know how to fabricate a belief by jumping to conclusions. Shouldn't we have bigger problems to worry about then anorexics? Americans are wasting their time with this bullshit. And I wonder why we're in a recession.

@catsforangelarose @catsforangelarose Lolno, doesn't work that way by saying "No, the media can't take complete responsibility for people all over the world becoming anorexic, but it can take a big part of it" because you are defending a statement and then contradicting it.
You can't say no the media doesn't take responsibility THEN, blame it but only "a part of it" - without even justifying yourself. Is this your attempt to an alternate opinion? It's a good thing you deleted your comment.
SiT1986 1 year ago
@SiT1986 k no one deserves to be anorexic. And media has a huge influence on why people become anorexic like the video said people see other people that are skinny on tv and they want to be like the people on tv but in the mirror there not. You might not want to be like the people on tv thats why you have a hard time understanding and believeing that the pop culture is influencing people to be anorexic. and i understand you have your own opinion but you also dont understand what its like.
iLoveRobeat69 1 year ago
@iLoveRobeat69 Of course nobody DESERVES to be anorexic. This is irrelevant. I can really count on people like you to state the obvious and go rambling onto poor judgments. The media isn't the instigator. See; these videos only SHOW what the media does to people. However they do not directly PROVE it. People are able to sustain themselves from following the media. They have to perpetuate the rationale. As much as I have grown to detest the insufficient ways of media, I cannot say they do it.
