i see what you're trying to do here and that's nice, however, it is apparant you don't have an ED, you sound as though you can chose to have an ED, you can't, people who "want" to get an ED won't, they will try not to eat/restrict to a silly small amount and give up... because they don't have the mental side of this dissorder... it's not about listening to the media, i hate myself think i'm fat at 93lbs, did even when i was 87lbs i can't help it,it came subconciously i wish i was normal
when i was sick i was eating 700 calories a day, i was depressed, self loathing, and angry at everything. i couldnt work or participate in school or hang out with friends its all ed all the time. it will consume you, it will ruin you
Sure it is bad to starve yourself and to eat a bunch of junk food and then throw it up or dispose it out of yourself with laxatives. I personally believe people need to live healthy lives, so being obese shouldn't be a reality. There is no reason for an average girl to be obese. That doesn't mean she should stave herself, it means she should eat healthier and exercise regularly. I know the US is full of a bunch of unhealthy commercials and lifestyles, but you can still exercise.
This video is great advice to the girl or boy wanting to become anorexic because of the media or peer pressure, but not very understanding of the MANY people who have it because of emotional reasons.
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.
Someone tell me if I'm anorexic; I eat less than 500 calories per day, vegetarian, already skinny and I have an intense fear of gaining weight, and I keep wanting to lose weight, today I feel happy because I only had 150 calories all day. Eating little makes me feel good about myself, and every time I see my weight drop I feel excited.
I don't anyone but a doctor can tell you whether or not you are anorexic, since it is something that needs to be medically diagnosed. What I can say though, is that if you are concerned, which it seems like you are, than you should make an appointment with a counsellor or a physician to talk about it and see what you can do to help calm your fears and to get you on a healthy nutrition plan
You should probably up your caloric intake... Try the raw food diet (not a *diet*, but more of a lifestyle). I hear you can eat up to 8 pounds of healthy raw fruits and vegetables per day on this diet and not gain weight.
I suggest that simply because it sounds like you're depriving your body of essential nutrients. Has your hair begun to fall out yet? Sorry, but yes, it sounds like you have an eating disorder. 500 calories a day? Most healthy people eat 2000 calories a day...
I hope you're still here to read this is how dangerous it is. I agree with fracescabc, only a doctor can tell you how good it is, but I really could bet alot that it could lead to death, I know this comment was 5 months ago so I really hope you're doing better then that.
I don't believe that the media plays the biggest role in this eating disorder... it may play some part of it... but i could care less about the media... geeze i don't even watch t.v and i am anorexic/binge n' purger i am afraid of fat ppl and i'm afraid of becoming fat and i'm afraid of a lot of foods... and i care way too much aobut what ppl think of me... nothing to do with the media...
I like that you presented facts and not all the pro- ana/mia bull but you also need to understand that many people who have these diseases are in fact, mentally diseased. They simply cannot control their own minds. I think that's very important to remember.
and thats coming from who's recovering from an ED.
it gives people the push to keep going and not to fall back into old bad habbits.
ignore the people that are having a go at you, by the sounds of it they dont understand how hard it is to recover and how great it is to have this video to help them!
Maybe not, but talking about it is the first step. I've suffered from a mental disorder all my life, and it's only recently that I've started to talk about it, and it really HAS helped. When there's something going on wrong in your mind, you feel like you have no one one your side. Seeing something like this makes you feel that there are people out there who are willing to help, and who do care. And that's one of the most important things of recovery.
Okay, I'm just saying that just because you don't feel a certain way, it doesn't mean no one else does. I didn't mean to offend anyone, but all I'm saying is that this does help SOME people
I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. It is one of my favorties. I come back to it when i am having a hard time because it gives me comfort and makes me feel less alone, less hopeless. Thank you.
But now that you mentioned it, yes! there's lots of vanity in these girls. Yes, they are sick but one thing does not denies the other. I also hapen to see the mirror and the scales as the great anorexia enablers. To me, they are not a superficial thing.Take them away and there is no way anorexia can progress.
Really? After I got out of the hospital last time, my parents got rid of the scale. I can honestly say I haven't cheated. They put film over the mirror in my bathroom (my 'trigger' mirror). I'm still really sick. Apparantly, eating disorders can still thrive, even without scales, and probably without any mirrors either.
being mentally impared you can hardly think properly. But if you have trouble remembering how could you perfomr more complicated mental tasks? Let me chew it for you dear: The feeding of the illness has to stop first, then you can concentrate in healing. Healing is going to be a process, not an act of magic. Got it? Of course, taking the mirror away is not going to zas! cure you...that's such an stupid line of thinking...you are so desperate to be right...for God's sake!
I never said it was a magic cure. You said "Take them away and there is no way anorexia can progress." All I did was prove that wrong with my experience. Even without, I still got sicker and sicker. What experience do you have with eating disorders? One more thing, I'd appreciate you not implying I'm stupid.
I did not write "mirrors and scale away will cure you". I called them enablers. Stopping anorexia from progressing does not mean it will cure you. Enablers out of the equation does not imply a cure. You still need to heal.
Now, if you do not understand this you are seriously mentaly impared. But indeed anorexia impares your mental ability so there you are.
I am not just telling you just becasue you demand information, you do not control me....if you would ask instead of demanding, I would have answered to you...You are still in the anger and controlling phase and I am not cooperating with your ill brain
How was that demanding and not asking? Look, I don't like sitting here arguing. It's not healthy for either of us. Why don't we just agree to disagree. I'll quit responding and provoking, and you quit implying I'm controlling, delusional, and stupid.
this i amazing... thankyou so much for making this. I am currently in recovery and honestly it is the hardest thing i have ever done. It is like ww3 going on in my mind... thank you for this vid!!!
i seriously don't understand why ED individuals don't want help...it's like schizophenia...a thought disorder, and those are the hardest to get help for...
Kungfu i was ana befor. the reson ppl dont want help is because they are afraid tht ppl will make us eat and we dont want help intill it gets very very seriouse
but isn't it odd that only with progression of the illness do people want help? compared with say depression, other non-comorbid anxiety disorders. it involves suffering the entire time, that the fears of eating, gaining weight, etc. somehow are greater than the desire for help...
I find their minds to be in total isolation: the only connection they make with the outside world is with the mirror and the scales. That's as far as their relaity can reach. And indeed while alone they seem to be all the time in bikinies, or in underware, so that they can look at their reality on the mirror.
i sense a bit of sarcasm in what you said. I think the isolation is a good point, but you seem also to suppose a lot of vanity. i'd say the scale and mirrors are all-important on the surface only. i too know the impulse to rip off clothes in the middle of the day and hop on the scale or take progress pictures - and it was about limiting reality - but it never quite works entirely, even for those convinved it will/does.
its not just an eating disorder... some people just cant take being called fat and they start skipping meals and then they loose some weight they think theyre making progress so they keep skipping meals and they end up eating nothing at all.. thats what happened with me. my mom keeps shoving food down my
troat and i keep barfing it back up! i cant stop! i tryed so hard to eat i really have! but i just cant do it! my shrink keeps telling me that i have to eat and i really want to eat but when i eat my body trows it out like toxic waste. help me and give me some advice my email is lunnie13@yahoo. c o m
im sarry tht i cant help you cuz im going throught the same thing...hurting myself to be like what they call"them" those perfect girls...but my mom dont know and tht the worse part cuz i have no one to look to...we should get in contact sometime
Hello Stacy I suffer with anorexia nervosa and depression. I been there myself who is male 6 ft 3 9 stone 3 = 129 ibs 4 year ago that was i want in eating disorder clinic for 2 years that time, i still having problems now with it all, i dont know anyone male who had this problem like me, if you know anyone or friends or family has problem please can you help me thought this and i need more support on this matter. my email is stewartyoung1982@hotmail. c o m
This is an excellent video and I can not for the life of me see why there are some negative comments - maybe thats just cos im blonde and stupid? It does remind me to think about how short life is and how much time I have already wasted to this disorder. Thanks for not telling "us" with eating disorders that we are shallow like sooo many guys do, it is a disease that we are fighting. Thanks.
Thank you for making a video like this! I want to have friends like you, I'm sick of women always dieting and obsessing about their weight. It makes me feel alone, because I want to value more important things. You're a beautiful woman!
i think this is really inspirational - i think we really need to branch out and help people with eating disorders... my ex friend has one and she is killing herself but i can't help..
The reality is that Obesity is a much more common eating disorder in our society. There are companies such as DOVE and their ads which feature obese women as a way to say it is ok to look like this. Anorexia is being combatted and many models have been banned as to not promote this, however Obesity is seen as Ok and companies such as DOVE use overweight models to promote this eating disorder.
Please write DOVE to get these ads taken down and take responsibility for their actions.
I havent actually seen any DOVE ads that use 'obese' women. Most of the women they use are of average, healthy weight. The only way they look obese is when you compare them to stick thin models, who are extremely unhealthy.
I didnt see any 'fat' girls in that vid. Plus, thats fine what you said. Us 'fat people' will keep our inner beauty, and if you think that all you need is outside looks, thats fine. We'll keep the compassion, intelligence, wit, humour and fun... and you can keep your shallowness.
Actually, a few of the girls (only three or four) WERE fat. As in clinically overweight.
Also, how can you call her shallow when you imply that outwardly attractive girls lack "compassion, intelligence, wit, humour, and fun?"
Inner beauty's great, but only people who get to know you will see it. Outward attractiveness is what gets people close enough to know you in the first place most of the time. (Natural selection, baby.)
less beautiful people have got other talents...if you belong to this group then you need to concentrate in developing your own talents ..otherwise you will be anorexic and sick but not beautiful/...being beautiful is a talent, you got it or you don't...(that's natural selection, baby)
You did an awesome job on a very serious subject. I'm a sociology professor and you said everything I tell my classes. Your message is powerful and right, and thanks for helping others to see thru the hypnotic control of the media on our lives. Many girls will be helped because of your outstanding video! Rock on!!
Thank you so much! I honestly didn't think I did that good of a job, I wanted it to be more powerful and bebale to really get people thinking...but..I did the best I could :)
Wow, your video makes me cry and thinking...thinking about the price you pay to be skinny. You´re defenetly right. We all are beautiful, no matter what size we have. Thank you.
Totally Genius!!! Bravo to you .. way to be the first adn now not the last to stick up and "say you are you! and Only God can judge you no one else" Once again Bravo!

Also, how can you call her shallow when you imply that outwardly attractive girls lack "compassion, intelligence, wit, humour, and fun?"
Inner beauty's great, but only people who get to know you will see it. Outward attractiveness is what gets people close enough to know you in the first place most of the time. (Natural selection, baby.)

less beautiful people have got other talents...if you belong to this group then you need to concentrate in developing your own talents ..otherwise you will be anorexic and sick but not beautiful/...being beautiful is a talent, you got it or you don't...(that's natural selection, baby)

You did an awesome job on a very serious subject. I'm a sociology professor and you said everything I tell my classes. Your message is powerful and right, and thanks for helping others to see thru the hypnotic control of the media on our lives. Many girls will be helped because of your outstanding video! Rock on!!
