The whole point of having a non-fat girl trying to play a fat girl is to point out that people with anexoria may even view normal girls as fat girls. It adds to the message of the advertisement.
I've spent my life suffering with anorexia and bulimia. This is one, possibly THE, most hard hitting adverts.
And being honest, until you have an ED, you can't judge at ALL. It's ruined my life, along with self harm. I was depressed at 10, it ruined my childhood. This advert is brilliant at raising awareness.
She was really beautiful in the mirror.. My friend had anorexia.. She looked like that, and she got bullied alot by the older girls, saying she was fat, and could just ignore the cake-shop for a while.. We had the summer holidays, and when school started.. She was so skinny, and alot of people in my class had already talked to the teacher about it. The teacher called her parents, who called a phyciolog (Not sure how to write it) and 2months later, she had put on another extra 10kilograms. ;)
@7132504 you are a total arse! omg i rarely get this angry about comments! you hav no idea what it is like to look in the mirror everyday and be repulsed by what you see! the girl in the mirror is beautiful! she is a real person....not an airbrushed model splattered across the pages of a mindless magazines! it is fascists like you who lead girls to believe that they have to starve themselves to death just to be told they're pretty
a lot of you are commenting that the girl isnt 'fat'> thats the point-its about how you see yourself- someone with an eating disorder might see themselves as really overweight when in fact they are at a normal BMI - or a lot smaller than that.A lot of people with bulimia are in fact at a normal weight.
Thats so sad :( The girl in the mirror is beauifull <3 the reality is horrifiying, Im 12 years old and im 11 stone D: i want to be 9 stone, i would never turn into an anorexic or even close, I LOVE FOOD but i seriously need to lose some weight :(
it makes me sad because thats how i see myself in the mirror, but i really am fat. i really am. People tell me im skinny but i see myself in my reflection and i know i am. Im sick of my weight. but i will never do that to myself
Hey do you have the whole song of this in the instumental version? If so please could you send me the link for it caz i cant find it anyway. many thanks x
does anyone know where I can find the upload of a video, in it there's this rapper (I think he's actually an american comedian but I'm not sure) he's young and he's on a talk show and he raps about anorexia and mentions how he finds his curvey girlfriend beautiful he talks about natural beauty and how you shouldn't starve, it was really good, you should all see it :( I can't find it, is it still up?
@hautenarcissism It's called Saeglopur by Sigur Ros. (I think that's how its spelt!). I can send it to you if you message me your email address if you like.
@dancemusiclife996 I;m probably wrong but maybe she's playing the fat girl because she isn't really fat herself either and they're making a point about it? I'm not sure :/
@hannahdianee the way i always thought of it, people who have this disorder think of themselves as fat. so i was thinking when she looked in the mirror she was supposed to see someone "fat" but that girl isn't at all
II don't like to diagnose myself, as I do not have the ability to do so, so I'll say that I'm 100% possitive I have bulimia, for four years. I won't go into detail, but obviously I do everything a bulimic would do.
@jaydeigh28 Absolutly not! If you are the doctor will tell you. If you have the possibility to obtain medical attention for your condition then got get it, fast!
I have gone from 5'5" and 215lbs to 175lbs. I want to be 99lbs
*sigh*
I know I'm being stupid and dangerous about it. I know I should care that I'm slowly killing myself.... sometimes I do care. But the voice in my head overrides that most of the time.
@Sarahrosebello hey i know. me too! im 'ana' too. and im 115 right now. i was 130, im headed for 100 im 5'6" im a gymnast and want to be skiniest on the team. its hard. :/ but you said exactly how i feel.
163 now.... I want to be 99. I have never purged except through restriction, because I know I get addicted to stuff (like cutting), and I know that purging is even more dangerous.
I don't know if I can stop. I don't know if I want to stop.
This doesn't seem helpful since they are portraying the girl in the mirror as a gross exaggeration of what the anorexic girl is supposed to see. In actuality, the girl in the mirror is healthy.
I think the girl in the mirror is super sexy. She had great thighs.... I'd kill for boobs and hips like that....it isn't sexy to look like a 9 year old boy naked.
I want to look pretty, so it ry not to eat. I'm 12 years old and I have absolutely no self esteem. I weigh 114 pounds and am 5'5-5'6 everyone else my height is 100 pounds or less, and no boy in my grade has ever liked me. I've never been crushed on. My life is an endless pit of despare. I'm worried about how I will lookw hen I come to teh age of 20. About whether I'll be thin, or pretty, or have any freinds left TT-TT fml
@AmritBD First of all, you're 5'6 and 114. im 5'7 and 125 and I have been been told a million times that i should be a model. and i am 125. 125, got it? FUCK what boys think. you said it, theyre BOYS. REAL MEN care about a personality not a body. Those people you say that are your height and weigh less than 100, must look like skeletons, and if i was a boy, i wouldn't want to make love to BONES. id want some meat on my ribs. Sweetie, you're 12, live you're childhood. ur beautiful the way u r <3
@AmritBD you think you have it bad,im 12,5'5-5'6,and weigh 156. 156!!!! i've been bullied because of it and hate to go shopping for clothes,and there have been days where i hate myself so much i try to stop eating,but i look at these ads,and im scared,im scared of my future,so i just hope the bullying dosn't get worst in 7th grade...
@AmritBD ok while its a bit wrong saying this t a 12yr old ur fat will move to more fun places and u will have a set of cruves dat will make men forget that they can talk
i appreciate the comments saying that the girl in the mirror is beautiful, because i have the same body type, and i was feeling a little self conscious, now i feel great! :D thanks sooo much~!
I cried when I saw this because i had a eating disorder that made me eat too much. I thne went anorexic, but then i relized that i really was skinny, because after four months of anorexia, I never lost weight. I was the same weight starving myself as i was eating too much. I was already skin and bones, and still i'm made fun of for being fat.....
I can totally relate to this video i had/ have an eating disorder. i went to a rehab facilty for 3 weeks and am currently in recovery. People need to realized eating disorders are NOT a choice, they are a DISEASE. you can't truly understand what one is unless you've had one to know what it does to your mind. Girls out there love your body and don't let ED ruin your life, because i can tell you from experience and right now in the process with my nutrionst to gain weight it sucks!
@eljagg01 no that's not what they are trying to do they are trying to show people what someone with an eating disorder thinks of themself. i have an eating disorder and am currently in recovery and unless you've had one you have no idea what this DISEASE does to your mind...
@eljagg01 and yes they are a little more tragic if you are EXTREMELY thin i'm not saying their not tragic if you are at a normal weight or above and stuff, but when you get down so low you could die, i almost did. the thinner you are though with it it is more tragic because i could have had a heart attack in my sleep that's what they told me anytime and i am young
I know this IS THE REAL commercial that they had out for awhile, but the girl that see's herself in the mirror is maybe slightly chunky, this vid is SUPPOSED to help girls, what are girls supposed to think when they see their body image in the mirror as FAT?!?!?!?
@Ceraphinas are you stoops? the girl is stick thin and convinced she's a little pudgy, it's her percieved body image when in truth she's a fucking stick.
The girl in the mirror has an amazing body, i wish i looked like that, shes not too skinny, not too fat, she looks great! I love the background music aswell, whats it called?
There is hope for the Hopeless that are struggling with addiction. Reformers Unanimous is a faith-based addictions program. We maintain an 82% percent success rate! Check us out @Ruinternational.
How do her thighs touch in the mirror but not in real life, wouldnt she know they dont touch by looking down? Im asking this because im just trying to understand how the mind works with anorexia, and how they see themselves.
@SincerelyJustine: It's extremely difficult to understand body distortions unless you have them. what you see in the mirror is not the same as what you really are, which is so frustrating. I see myself as much larger than my sister, but when I try her pants on they fall off of me. for people with true BDD (and not just bad body image) what you see isn't real.
She doesn't actually see that image in the mirror - it's that the one she does see (the real reflection) she judges to be just the same as a regular person would the girl in the mirror. It shows the audience how a person suffering from anorexia views things differently.
does anyone know this song ??? in the advert its really moving and good campaign advert which actually shows how people with eating disorders etc see them selfs .
EMUmonster,I cant believe u could b so heartless i've been there myself n u dont ask 4 help coz u think that u can control it!da mind is a very scary thing,u dont c urself the way other's c u,u dont c da bones all you see is fat nd if dats all u c someone saying to u ur not fat isnt gna just change ur mind coz u c something totally different 2 them,people dont choose 2 b dis way it starts of by eating dat little bit less nd turns into an unstoppable ilness,
@cheers123jojo oh ok, well im sure boys would just LOVE to go out with a girl who is all bony and scary. Yep, ur right, boys would totally like to date the girl in front of the mirror in that vid.
I used to be anorexic.. and i have moments when i slip back into it .. i love and hate this advert because i also have body dismorphic disorder so i always see myself as bigger.. but its not somethign you choose you think i went oh yeah i want to be repulsed by food, i want to feel sick when i think about it ..no it just happens so stop judging people you pricks
this is just terrible, i feel so bad. but sorry to tell u, women are bitches to eachother. specially models and shit. media and even men contribute to this. its a lot of ppls fault that women have to think that being that skinny is good looking. to all u women out there, it truly isnt.
I understand the point of this ad, but I still hate it. Know why? People with anorexia are very thin but think they are fat. Therefore, the girl in the mirror is supposed to represent "fat." Well, she's not fat. She looks fine. Maybe there wouldn't be such a problem with eating disprders if we didn't tell girls that they are fat if they look like the girl in the mirror.
What about children that are starving in other countries. Or people who barely get by and can't feed their families. These girls do this on purpose. They chose to die like this. They could eat if they wanted to. I don't show any pity. Everyone in the world is screwed up in one way but starving yourself on purpose. Thats just stupidity and if you die from that then its your own dumb ass fault. How can I feel sorry for you when you have the chance to eat, but a person who wants food cant get any?
You obviously don't know anything about it, there's a lot more to it than just not eating.
people with eating disorders don't choose to not eat, they just can't, it's a mental illness and it can't really be helped, i've got anorexia and it's not how you think it is at all... Learn more about it before you judge people with it like that
No. But I dont feel sorry for these girls for killing themselves, thats just stupid. People with depression seek help if they want to. Shit happens, life is a fucking bitch, I know this but thats why you try to ask for help any way you can and sometimes talking your problems.
People with depressions don't always ask for help either. Why wouldn't you ask for help? Because people would think you're insane, fear of psychologues and psychiatrists, fear of a mental hospital.
I'm not saying that's all it is, but it was for me, and a friend of me as well. I was afraid that if I'd tell anyone I didn't feel well, they would just take me to some psych or anything. I didn't want to be treated that way.
But hey, without professional help you can get out of it as well.
I bet that you don't know how it's like to have anorexia. It's not just stereotyping people that starve themselves, it's a REAL mental illness. They don't have a choice to eat nothing or little. They're forced to do so.
Of course I dont. They aint forced to do shit, this is all in their minds. People starving in slums across America and rest of the world hate these girls.

Girls out there love your body and don't let ED ruin your life, because i can tell you from experience and right now in the process with my nutrionst to gain weight it sucks!

Great message for young girls: body shame and eating disorders are only tragic if you're skinny.

@eljagg01 no that's not what they are trying to do they are trying to show people what someone with an eating disorder thinks of themself. i have an eating disorder and am currently in recovery and unless you've had one you have no idea what this DISEASE does to your mind...

@eljagg01 and yes they are a little more tragic if you are EXTREMELY thin i'm not saying their not tragic if you are at a normal weight or above and stuff, but when you get down so low you could die, i almost did. the thinner you are though with it it is more tragic because i could have had a heart attack in my sleep that's what they told me anytime and i am young

I know this IS THE REAL commercial that they had out for awhile, but the girl that see's herself in the mirror is maybe slightly chunky, this vid is SUPPOSED to help girls, what are girls supposed to think when they see their body image in the mirror as FAT?!?!?!?

@Ceraphinas are you stoops? the girl is stick thin and convinced she's a little pudgy, it's her percieved body image when in truth she's a fucking stick.

How do her thighs touch in the mirror but not in real life, wouldnt she know they dont touch by looking down? Im asking this because im just trying to understand how the mind works with anorexia, and how they see themselves.
SincerelyJustine 2 years ago
@SincerelyJustine it's not that it's an optical illusion. It's her mind, telling her that she's fat because of low selfesteem.
KellytheBohemian 2 years ago 2
@SincerelyJustine: It's extremely difficult to understand body distortions unless you have them. what you see in the mirror is not the same as what you really are, which is so frustrating. I see myself as much larger than my sister, but when I try her pants on they fall off of me. for people with true BDD (and not just bad body image) what you see isn't real.
alwaysUmpteen 2 years ago
She doesn't actually see that image in the mirror - it's that the one she does see (the real reflection) she judges to be just the same as a regular person would the girl in the mirror. It shows the audience how a person suffering from anorexia views things differently.

I understand the point of this ad, but I still hate it. Know why? People with anorexia are very thin but think they are fat. Therefore, the girl in the mirror is supposed to represent "fat." Well, she's not fat. She looks fine. Maybe there wouldn't be such a problem with eating disprders if we didn't tell girls that they are fat if they look like the girl in the mirror.

What about children that are starving in other countries. Or people who barely get by and can't feed their families. These girls do this on purpose. They chose to die like this. They could eat if they wanted to. I don't show any pity. Everyone in the world is screwed up in one way but starving yourself on purpose. Thats just stupidity and if you die from that then its your own dumb ass fault. How can I feel sorry for you when you have the chance to eat, but a person who wants food cant get any?
EMUmonster 2 years ago
You obviously don't know anything about it, there's a lot more to it than just not eating.
people with eating disorders don't choose to not eat, they just can't, it's a mental illness and it can't really be helped, i've got anorexia and it's not how you think it is at all... Learn more about it before you judge people with it like that

If someone is depressed, are you going to tell them they're weak? That it's their own fault? That they can choose themselves to be happy?
I hope you won't, 'cause depressions are not caused by a person himself/herself. Just like eating disorders...
KrienSama 2 years ago
No. But I dont feel sorry for these girls for killing themselves, thats just stupid. People with depression seek help if they want to. Shit happens, life is a fucking bitch, I know this but thats why you try to ask for help any way you can and sometimes talking your problems.
EMUmonster 2 years ago
People with depressions don't always ask for help either. Why wouldn't you ask for help? Because people would think you're insane, fear of psychologues and psychiatrists, fear of a mental hospital.
I'm not saying that's all it is, but it was for me, and a friend of me as well. I was afraid that if I'd tell anyone I didn't feel well, they would just take me to some psych or anything. I didn't want to be treated that way.
But hey, without professional help you can get out of it as well.
KrienSama 2 years ago
I bet that you don't know how it's like to have anorexia. It's not just stereotyping people that starve themselves, it's a REAL mental illness. They don't have a choice to eat nothing or little. They're forced to do so.
