  • @emilytheskinnyone I couldn't agree more!

    It takes a lot to admit what you just said, and a lot of thinking.

  • This is more of a mental disorder than anything same with bulimia. It's sad that people think not eating is the only way to lose weight it's definitely not the healthy way! I'm skinny, a vegetarian, and I eat.

  • Oh hey my names Savannah and i'm anorexic.

    i'm really ugly, but who cares, with hard work, i'll be thinner :)

  • People are saying I look like I am going anorexic. I think I am beautiful . Every girl should . And when I look down at myself, I see fat. When I look in the mirror I see skinny, and to other people , I am way too skinny . But I eat.

  • im ugly

    im fat.....

    im anorexic

  • I'm not going to do any "statistics say" type of thing, but I know it's not a good thing. I have never had anorexia, therefor I know nothing about it. I know that you starve yourself, but I do not know what the cause of it is. So I should stay out of peoples buisness eh?

  • I have anorixea

  • being taught about the right and wrong foods in school and how weight and obesity can cause death triggered my anorexia.

  • okay, here's what i'm gonna say. nobody wakes up one morning and thinks: "i'm going to be anorexic!" a person with anorexia beings a diet just to lose a couple of pounds, but it spirals out of control. it is NOT a choice and it is NOT something that you can want to have. it is not a 'thing to do'. it is a genetic disorder.

    i'm sick of people saying things like: "i'm so sad little kids are doing anorexia now" or "i'm not going to chose anorexia". that is not how it works.

  • Ana took one of my best friends. It was basically suicide. I would talk to her almost every night on facebook because she moved away when we were in Elementary school. She never felt pretty. But to everyone else she was one of the most beautiful girls that ever lived. She never saw that. Till this day, I almost feel responsible for her death because I couldn't help her more than i already was. I miss her. She will always be Beautiful.

    R.I.P Abby<3

  • anorexia is so bad for you it's basically slow suicide... It's awful that little kids are doing it now, but if you want to be anorexic go ahead damage your body. I'm proud of the way I look and happy this girl could over come it!

  • @paloozapoofshh Amy Wonehouse had no drugs in her body when she died, and gained about 35 lbs from January to July.

  • Well now I know how to hide my Anorexia better:)

  • @XDSarahhh true that

  • what a beautiful looking girl its amazing she is doing well.... i hope she has an amazing life

  • @togetherthroughthisx

    who said i didnt have a eating disorder? its not that im skinny im FAT! although i know its A LOT harder if you have anorexia and/or bulimia. But its not like im gonna give up taking drugs and stop eatting. I could very easily get bulima if i just gave up everything and started binging and purging. And if i kept that up that could easily lead to anorexia...but its not like your having it better than me...

  • god wish i had the will power to eat under 500 cal a day

    

  • I'm not strong enough to give up food. :(

  • will someone help me? my cousin in germany just all the sudden stopped eating and is hospitalized, she is close to heart failure and will soon be tube fed. anyone know what i can do?

  • @rsboy5 If she's been hospitalized, then her doctors should already be looking into getting her into a program. If I would were you, I would just continue to be there for her and tell her that she's beautiful. She may say she hates her family and all that, but know that she's just not thinking right.

  • @VideoScenario I'm not overweight.

  • Yeah but alot of famous people are anorexic.

  • @paloozapoofshhh That's not a reason to be anorexic. If anything, that's all the more reason to be healthy.

  • @Rosebunse

    i know what i was saying is that alot of famous people are anorexic so why do people look at them and want to look like them.? tahts how amy winehouse died and cause of drugs.

  • @paloozapoofshhh I don't know. Personally, I think anyone who looks too skinny looks disgusting. But you're right, a lot of people who are already not in the right state look at those celebrities and say, "Well, if they can do it, why can't I?" The best we can do is emphasize healthy eating habits.

  • @Rosebunse

    they do look disgusting when theyre too skinny and still think their fat. 

  • @paloozapoofshhh God, that makes it even worse! It's so sad and to think people are encouraging each other to get to that point.

  • @Rosebunse

    seriously?! who encourages that? gross. if people become anorexic their batabolism slows down and when or if they get through with their illness its harder for them to lose weight later. thats why im glad i have a really fast botabolism. :D

  • @paloozapoofshhh Well, some people are told they look better thin, and if they get really extreme, they have whole websites devoted to helping anorexics become "better" anorexics, if you get what I mean. Pretty much, they get tips on how to eat less, but in a way where their loved ones won't notice. It's creepy. Believe me, these people get pretty desperate.

  • @paloozapoofshhh its a METABOLISM

  • @HuckleberryKae

    S-O-R-R-Y >:|

  • @emma2010 yeah I have 43 scars

  • ThaEmoPrincessXX no not ev every bipolar cuts , its a way of releasin stress and pain from their body.. message me and i'll help you as much as you can ,

  • I'm bipolar and cut...do all bipolars cut???

  • I cut to but not a ton so ya and does it have to do with bipolar cause I'm bipolar any suggestions ?

  • i just got over cutting(which i did for just over 4 years), therapy is done, my Bipolar disorder under control.. but in a year Im at the age I should move out.. where as before i felt safe and looked over. To keep my mind off cutting, and to get the feeling of 'my own little secret' that i had with cutting for the first 3 years.. i now just think of losing weight. I dont ever want to be anorexic but im so happy i've lost 20 lbs in just under a month! I wont get things out of control this time.

  • I did that last week:( I'm 13 and weigh 98 or 99 and I decided to go vegetarian to loose like ten or eight lbs

  • wow I could never imagine being an anorexic at such a young age!!!!! I mean I loved food so much when I was little & still to this day:)

    and to anyone who thinks they're fat please don't turn to anorexia If u do want to lose weight do it the healthy way by eating nutritional foods with the right amount of calories and excersize

  • @TheSmartPants12 You aren't fat, but I know how you feel.. I am almost 16 years old and have been fighting Anorexia AND Bulimia since I was 8 YEARS OLD! I am 4'11" 1/2 and I weight 83.5 pounds. I belies and see my arms, legs, face and the area around my belly button to be much to fat and I eat less than 300 calories a day. I went to treatment when I was 12 and off an o until I was 14. I also went too therapy and psychology and I still haven't recovered. Stay strong and I hope you win your fight

  • It seems like now a days , all people wanna be is skinny. Its incredible the extreme measures society will take to loose a couple pounds. Shake My Head. -.-

  • She's so skinny even after recovery! Im sooo fat!!! I weigh 90 pounds and im 4"11 and im 12 in grade 6!!!!! All i see is fat on me!!

  • @TheSmartpants12 THAT IS NOT FAT!!!!! DO NOT EVER THINK THAT! YOU ARE NOT FAT.

    I'm a few inches taller than you a few pounds more than you and a year older than you and I'm not fat, you're not fat.

  • im ugly im fat and i know anorexia isnt gonna solve my problems it will just make me even uglier cause id be WAY to skinny...but i am trying to lose weight but not by taking drugs or starving myself...im doing it the hard way and the healthy way!

  • @freeagentsgirl619 I doubt ur ugly and fat. Everyone has beauty. And good that you're not making yourself sick and being healthy!

  • @freeagentsgirl619 good for you! but I guarantee that your not ugly, or as fat as you think you are. Regardless, Your beautiful on the inside, and that's all that really matters. never forget that.

  • @freeagentsgirl619 so ... did you loose some waight in thoaw 4 months

  • @freeagentsgirl619 A nutritionist can help you establish a balanced diet to loose weight the safe way and not loose vital vitamins.

  • @freeagentsgirl619 true and no one is ugly because remeber god made you in his image! :D

  • Wtf is this media bullshit? It's not media at all...

  • Media has nothing to do with it, damn it. I want to be thin because I like thinking that I'm delicate, fragile, and need obvious protection. I'm desperate and a wreck. I want to get sick enough for someone to notice me and take care of me, not because I want to be as thin as Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan. It's not just about looks. It's about using your looks to get what you want emotionally. Dumb asses need to recognize that.

  • @emilytheskinnyone completely agreeing with you! that actually covers everything i couldnt explain!

  • @emilytheskinnyone right on girl!! Thats the truth! I wish more people could realize that.

  • @emilytheskinnyone that's terribly manipulative of you I've had an eating disorder for years and I don't do it to "get what I want emotionally". You sound awfully immature and it's quite unfair to the people around you. I don't think you need help for an eating disorder as much as you do for an attention complex.

  • im not anerexic, i had to watch this bc for school we had to pic an important subject...

  • I have been anoretic.To all of you:It is hard,but not impossible too get out of it! Hang in there!Do not loose hope!

  • Is 90 pounds good 4 me if i am 11 years old and 5,2"?

  • @3eqchamps you are perfect! dont worry about your weight though. it just throws off your whole mind-set. it sucks. be happy for who you are! <3

  • @3eqchamps 90 pounds is actually good. If it is a weight that your body feels comfortable in then it's normal. However there are some people who will say that 90 pounds for someone at 5ft 2 inches puts you at the beginning of the underweight category of the BMI chart. According to the BMI chart, 90 Ibs is more of a normal weight for those at 5 ft.

  • I've read Regaining yourself , it's a good book I need to read it again.

  • @speltthiswrong

    U can do it

    Listen to jimmy cliff u can get it if u really want!

  • @funnygummy

    Ur only 4 days olderthan me!!!

  • @funnygummy223 that is a perfect weight for you age and height! :)

  • I hate my life.... I am 11 years old and my Birthday is on May 25 so I'm 11 and a half and i weigh like 90pounds..... is that okey? I am like 5'2 height.... i think but i know im in the 5'0 Plz answer!

  • @FunnyGummy223 Your weight is perfect, beautiful :) That is lovely and almost low for your age and height, so it's perfect. Stay healthy and strong, and stop looking things like this up. I promise you, anorexia solves nothing. It will ruin everything you've ever wanted. Got dreams? Keep anorexia far away from them.

  • IMO, media images are not to blame for triggering anorexia in young people, otherwise over half the population would be suffering from Anorexia, which is not true. However, as the anorexia occurs and anorexic behaviour becomes evident, the patient is preoccupied with image, and on self diagnosis would identify media images as the trigger, rather than arriving at a full comprehension of the warped or ailing brain/neurones effected by a chemical imbalance. Inflammation, an organic cause obscures.

  • When I had Anorexia I only Weighed  56 pounds when i was 13 :S

  • I started cutting in 6th grade but I haven't done it in one month and 4 days.. but.. im terrified of gaining anymore weight since i eat 24/7 so now i haven't eaten in 7 days, no one knows, and i dont know what to do.. I don't want to be anorexic but I cant eat..

  • Comment removed

  • @alicen657 Gee thanx, i feel so much better now.. i think i'll go eat a bucket of fried chicken right now in fact. Thank you for showing me the light douche bag. Fuck off.

  • @SpeltThisrong calm down i thought i erased it sorry i will

  • @alicen657 v.v; sorry..

  • people need to STOP blaming society it's a psychological disorder...it has nothing to do with weight it's all about control!!!

  • Its not about the media!!!!! Its a biopsychsocial disorder. I have anorexia and its not about the media for me its so much deeper.

  • poor girl.........

  • What the hell is society doing to us?

  • @soccerstarr13 - Don't blame society, thought I see why you do.

    It's every individual person's sense of security, self-worth and need for discipline or control, as well as any pre-dispositions that all come into play in such sensitive medical issues as eating disorders..

    Society and the media do play a part, though. But generally, looking at the people not the problem.. it's really oneself and one's own mind (and actions) that brings these things on, subconsciously or not.

  • typical blood suckin Jew making a career out of women brainwashed by madison avenue to measure up.Dont like it? blow me..not you poster!

  • @flaskmunch lmao

  • I am 14 5'9 and 153 pounds I do need to drop maby 3 pounds but hell I am lazy! Lol

    But how could her parents let her get that bad that had to be hard to look at her eveyday with out crying!

    Never mind I like my body and will keep it! I am not fat or to skinny I have a perfect body and love it you guys should love ur bodys to!

  • @Jessica141996 you are a fattie if you are over 130

  • I am 14 5'9 and 153 pounds I do need to drop maby 3 pounds but hell I am lazy! Lol

    But how could her parents let her get that bad that had to be hard to look at her eveyday with out crying!

  • Damn, that's depressing for a 10 year old..

    Like i'm 14...and i haven't aten in 3 days

    and i run 20 minutes everyday, and do 50 sit ups/crunches

    i don't plan on eating ever again -_- i fucking hate food.

    I'm 5'5 & 120 lbs. i'm trying to get myself to 100 lbs.

  • @XFrostxOnxFireX sounds like you're anorexic. 

  • @XFrostxOnxFireX you many think that not eating will help you lose weight..but you do know that if you eat something small every couple hours your body will burn more calories then just starving yourself. your body will actually probably store fat the next time you intake food because it doesn't know the next time its gonna get food...just saying..

  • @XFrostxOnxFireX how can you not eat? food is the basic function of life you need it. take a health class and than you will know.

  • anorexia

    the fear that it causes is the same fear that you would feel if you were being chased in a thick forest by a killer with a chainsaw and you keep falling over and hearing the chainsaw coming closer

  • I Am 12 And 108 Pounds And Proud Of It I Would Never Want To Lose Wait i Am Happy With My Body And Nothing Will Change That I Actually Need To Gain Weight I Am Very Small... i Always Say I Could Be 300 Pounds And Still Happy With My Body. I Had Cancer When I Was Little And They Worry If a Gain Weight Or Not Its Always a Worry.....

  • @lilrockstarbaby123 i weigh only about 2 pounds less than you and im turning 13 in March....a healthy body weight =D

  • @GirtopolisArashiki Very Healthy Body Wait im Turning 12 in january =D

  • anorexia is probably about just as hard as resisting a Sexy lady naked infront of you in your room and trying not to have sex. Is this a Good comparison?

  • @yellowcorba1 horrible comparison

  • I was eating 200cals or less a day at her age..... "as low as 500" isn't that low for a 10 year old. It's bad that she has an ED, I understand, but it doesn't seem bad at all compared to what other girls go through with ED's. She's inspired me though, at her age I had no-one to stop me, so it's now taken over me, there's no way back now. Don't do it. Thank god for her loved ones.

  • @SONILKSONILK as low as 500 IS low. The average 10 year old should be getting ATLEAST 1, 200 calories. If the kid is active, even more. I get what your saying, though. A lot of people with anorexia go days on 200 calories or less.

  • as a child i just did not enjoy eating, it didnt taste good. i hated it.

  • The poor girl ... she nearly killed herself.

  • This is sad.. My daughters name is Shaye too.. She is 14 years old and 6 foot tall and very skinny.., but she can eat 6 sliders at one sitting.

  • mueran ala verga putas esqeleticas!

  • so what? i am 14 and 60 pounds and im not anorexic

  • @Mrb1b2b3b4 WOAH. that's EXTREMELY underweight. you may not be anorexic, but it's still unhealthy.

  • @Mrb1b2b3b4 Do you eat at all?

  • @Mrb1b2b3b4 wow you must be thispo :3. aslong as ur healthy

  • @Mrb1b2b3b4 i have a question. How tall are you? that might explain it

  • @Mrb1b2b3b4 Phhh no you're not.

  • @Mrb1b2b3b4 eat weight you aneorxic if it doesnt kill you i will -_-

  • @Mrb1b2b3b4 so what are you? unless ur 4 ft tall, u sound kinda anorexic

  • dramatatus- people of any race can get this disorder!

  • For me it didnt have a whole lot to do with the media... I could care less about overrated movie stars and their butts

  • Encourage 4cm turds, thats the key. What the fuck are you yanks doing? Either you have obese people that you are complaining about or thin fuckers, that you are complaining about. I notice, however that no niggers seem to suffer with this terrible illness.

  • - i was anorexic.i was diagnosed with it.

    it is in your head, thats something big

    but the media has a big control over it.

    i always look at the pictures of famous people i look up to, and would be like, okay you need to change that to look like you want to.

    but in reality, you are you! you are unique!!!

    there will never be a person who will be exactly like you! you are a one and only!

    just be yourself, and remember that you are beautiful the way you are, you dont haft to change anything.

  • strong girl!

  • Comment removed

  • What i want to do it break anyones arms who make fun of people for their weight.

  • It's a good ranch, They let the anorexia kids roam free on the rolling pastures with the greatest grass on earth. She also came back a vegan.

  • good for her, regaining her life and getting rid of Ed. its very tough, especially for young people.

  • i have a eating dissored and im 15

  • I don't think the guy was trying to say vegetarian are anorexic. He was trying to point of a change of eating habits and giving the sudden change to being vegetarian as an example

  • 1st graders yes - and it is also tragically considered only as a childhood or adolescent disorder - you would be shocked, and doing a HUGE service, to take a look at the epidemic of eating disorders among women over 30 and 40 - the mothers of these children, these women fighting "natural slowing of metabolism" are starving themselves to death.

  • I'm not surprised that 10 year olds are anorexic now. I was anorexic when I was 12 and that was 5 years ago.

  • vegs aren't anorexic...

  • @brainsteww Yeah, I thought that was a bit of an out-of-place comment.

  • im so glad this story has a happy ending shes so talented

  • I am anorexic and anorexia is like cutting (which i also do) its an addiction. its hard to stop. and i get mad when people make fun of it.

  • I went through treatment in Iowa city Iowa hospital and it was good treatment!

  • @MrMisscutiepie19 yes exactly!!! like when people make jokes about it right in front of you and you feel really akward... and then somtimes the people who are making jokes pretty much act like your not even there. urg i just wish i could change it.

  • @MrMisscutiepie19 same here! i blew up in my ex bf's face because he thought it was just something that passes like a flu.. like i told him which took all of my power and convincing to do that i was relapsing and he said "again?" what do you mean again?! it doesnt turn off like a light switch. people should really inform themselves..

  • I was 70 pounds at age 10 I wouldn't eat all day, I would only eat chips and drink water. Im a guy too. People see it strange that a boy would be anorexic

  • @KJT922010T That's what my brother did. He would be teased for being chubby and he started eating less and less until all he was eating was a small individual bag of chips. I hate it when people say that anorexia is a girl's disease.

  • I feel sorry for her :(

  • wow i can't belive a ten year old would do something like that but its a good thing that she recovered.

  • aww poor baby :( why~!!!

  • Justo como dice la canción: SOCIETY MADE US FAT

  • Well said.

    You can't understand a crack addict unless u've been a crack addict!

    Seem thing.

  • It's not difficult to understand, honestly. It's a psychological disorder more than a physical one. When one thinks they're fat, they think they won't fit in with their friends or they can't wear the right clothes and look the right way. Children are very susceptible to influence, as I'm sure we all know and they're learning everything they hear. So if they hear they're not thin enough, they're going to try to do what they can to be 'thin enough.' It's a simple concept, complicated disease.

  • @msgreenbee I have been a crack addict and I also have an eating disorder so I do understand it both.

  • not at all.

    I have anorexia and have since 7th grade and I never thought about the media. It's all in your head and unless that man has had anorexia or another mental disorder he isn't able to understand that.

  • @0WatchMeDie0 But I believe still, that the media has somekind of impact on young girls or (even) boys.

  • @0WatchMeDie0 so true, i became annorexic when i was 8 and it was totally to do with me and my issues with my family, not the media.

  • @0WatchMeDie0 i stared with the media i saw some that said anorexia and i was like this is soo cool i wanna do this i can loose weight fast and i dod i lost freak 20 lb in 2 weeks ihad anorexia for a year i got in the hospital and had a feeding tube in me not i think im gunna go back to my anorexia days cause im very fat nopt im 172 and 12  soo

  • aw she's so cute. i'm so glad she recovered. our world is so warped in regards to body image.

  • why did they weigh her backwards?

  • So she doesn't see her weight. It's triggering.

  • so that she cant see her weight

  • so she can't see the numbers?

  • so she doesnt see her weight.cuz it may start it all over again..

  • maybe so she doesnt see her weight and it triggers her disorder because she thinks shes fat?:S

  • @missmaritza91 Because seeing the numbers could possibly trigger her into her old ways again. They are trying to teach her to not regard herself as just a number.

  • i went to that exact same treatment place remuda ranch in virginia! and i had that medical doctor, unlike her i still struggle though, ive been to treatment 5 times.

  • over 80% of 10 year old girls are on a diet. Yeah i know.

  • dang thats scary. i hope my lil niece doesnt turn out like that. shes just a baby. but still thats crazy 10!

  • sad.

  • 10 thats horrible this world is so stuck o being skinny Its sad to see younger and younger girls being attracted to this

  • When I was 10 I thought I was fat and I didn't want to eat at all so I ate less and I went to look in the mirror every 30 and cry there and I tried purging but it never worked so I gave up that life and now I'm eating about 1500 calories a day and now I'm 11. I use to eat about 500 and less....I still thought I was fat.

  • She was scared to gain weight because she quit gymnastics.

  • annorexia is an addiction, you start to diet, and it becomes a habbit, im glad she got it over with

  • i fail at diets because i loved to eat but i think im tooo fat..... i exercise everyday but i still like eat alot...... im trying to stasrt another diet and see if i can lose atleast 10- 15 lbs because im 100 lbs and 90 lbs is like average at my age so ya and this is sad she should start eating but excise at the same thing that way she wont get tooo fat or tooo skinny :]

  • Comment removed

  • and the preoccupation with self image=always on my mind. Wishing I weren't so fat. But I have little to no appetite, anyone know what causes that? I could so easily become an anorexic, but I don't want to, I've seen what it does to people, and I'm not going to do that to myself, but I seriously don't have any appetite, rarely hungry. I usually only eat small snacks or one or two small meals a day. Any one know what causes an extremely low appetite? If you do, please let me know. Help!

  • no offence but you dont BECOME an anorexic simply because you want to.

    but your so lucky you dont have much of an appetite :(

  • stress and the fact that your body image is always on your mind can cause a loss of appetite...as long as you work out(not over doing it either) and you try to tell yourself to eat...you will grow an appetite and still lose weight...just try to stay away from junk...but remember to allow yourself s little junk because then you will binge and feel even worse...i know its easy for you to fall into an ed...but please dont...if you do...i hope you like the dentist and frequent doctor visits...

  • Thanks for the help =). No don't worry, I wouldn't do that, I might have, but I know how bad it is for you, so I wouldn't.

  • Yes, its not always the media. Sometimes not at all, but it has a big rule in a lot of girls, seeing those skinny girls that people call ''beautiful''. What makes me feel bad about myself is at school, where everyone wants to be the perfect size and that tends to be a one or a zero, which I had in 9th grade but then I felt fat when I became a 3 and a 5. He's commit for the signs scared me the food games=i'm not hungrey=me the do I look fat?= me.

  • she is so lucky she got eating again while she still has a good metabolism

  • its not just to lose weight its about control ..something to control..my first time with purging i was eight...and hardly watched tv..paris hilton is so ugly there is no animal i would compare her to but a rat...anorexia is with you forever and no its not just to lose weight ...remember its about control...a lot of my life was living with anorexia/bulimia and sometimes im recovered but there are times of relapse...i understand this little girl...

  • anorexia is addiction like i'm an alcoholic i could never promise i won't have a few drinks in the next month it's the same they can't promise to eat for the next month or the rest of their lives they're no cure!
