  • All i ever asked for was to be skinny and go on an innocent diet, looking at my life now, i never asked for this.

  • For those who say u will stop eaying or want to stop eating, dont. You will be ugly you will be sick. It will be like.killing yourself. People will cry. Once u start u wont be able to stop so easy. Eat healthy but dont stop eatin .

  • Im watching this sighing and watching this . And im like omg ,why would anyonr do thid. Id rather be fat . Then be skin to the bone. Sorry.for.them anf praying

  • I lovethis song it is amazing this probably won't mean anything but I'm 13 and I wanted to say that so many people suffer from anorexia and so many people lose that battle I sometimes skip meals but I'm not anorexic. To anyone that does have anorexia it's not your fault you can't help it. Try your hardest to get back on track and it might work it would be so hard on your family to lose you and remember always trust yourself and your heart will help you through!!

  • How tragic :(

  • I've been struggling from Anorexia for 5 years now. I'm scared that it will cost my life. I hope, that I will find the strength to keep on fighting. Thanks for this video!

  • Watched this video two years ago, and I am glad I am still alive to write this comment.

  • To:Girls who do not think they are pretty

    From: God

    You are beautifully and wonderfully made it says so in the bible please don't hurt yourself because that means I have started to fail you

  • I have this song on a loop in my hospital room. I am battling for my health. Once i finish I'll have a long road of recovery ahead of me. Anyone who is thinking of not eating, please eat. I got down to 25 lbs and I still felt fat. I have so many tubes in my body right now just to help me survive.

  • Daumen hoch*

  • Have to agree anorexia is not pretty.Was anorexic as a child.I was 4th child of a family of 10.No responsible dad,but had a mom who did her best so we did not starve to death.Had to be creative finding ways to get food ( begging at the local market,finding ways to make some money to buy food or raiding the local A&P dumpster for dented cans)Was not uncommon for me to not eat for a day or 2.Went to school hungry so my grades sucked.Still suffer from anorexia but am still alive.Life is cruel,Hurts

  • this video reminds me every day when I'm studing, really I don't have anorexia, but I recognize and my friends tell me I'm too addicted to work, study, and there are days in which I don't sleep nor eat programming some code, I know it's wrong and my friends are tired of my attitude, but I feel so lazy when I'm not working... People pay attention to other kinds of more frecuent problems, but we workaholics exist too

  • Un'altra bugia oggi.

    Nessuno si accorge dei miei giochetti.

    E sto di nuovo nella merda!

  • For those battling anorexia, please don't give up! I can't stand watching people die, you're all so beautiful! Please!! Ur not gross for eating nor are you ugly, it doesn't matter what you like, nd if someone tells you otherwise then tell em to can it! Cuz damn it all, you guys are beautiful without being thin! So don't you dare stop fighting! EVER!!!!!

  • omg this is so sad most of them were so beutiful its so sad when u thin tht the same thing could happened 2 any one even me

  • What is the background musics?

  • @primatang watch first second carrefully

  • I know what it's like to feel unbeautiful, but I shouldn't have to. No one should have to.

  • i rather die than be fat

  • @imlovingselenademi keep thinking like that and you just might...

  • I starve myself most if the time an mi friends got me to tell someone and when the guidance counselor told my mom my mom just laughed at it and said to me "there's nothing wrong with you, you just want attention." it just makes me strive harder to be skinny because it's almost like I'm not good enough for her to care about me.

  • @Ko2lKat I sympathize with you, I wish I could help you, I love you although I dont know you

  • @Ko2lKat u ok i have an eating disorder i kno how hard it is im there for u x

  • Fat is not pretty superskinny is

  • @bdrpsarah2000

    wow thanks.

    i bet isabelle caro thought the same, before she died...

  • I'm going to stop eating. I won't die, I will be beautiful.

  • My goodness this song inspirates to stop eating :)

  • you are saying that you died but how did you make this video

    sucker

  • @cindyvdh1 Why dont you shut your hole eh... There is always arseholes like you floating around the You Tube >_<

  • I have horrible self esteem issues, so it's painful to see what road I could be leading myself down. I wish I could feel better about myself(It's not just about my weight. or even appearance) and I try so hard to lift other people up, since so many have pushed me down and I never want someone to feel the way I do.

  • @popcorn200213 same

  • I really liked your video ! Thanks u it gives me hope! =)

  • This breaks my heart.

    For the first time ever I've wanted to recover these last few weeks.

    I've never wanted to before. I assumed that when I wanted to it would be easy.

    I lasted 2 days at 1,000 calories before I gave up. It is so hard.

    This eating disorder controls me. I don't want it anymore but it is in control of me now. It has defeated me.

  • @Sarahrosebello dont give up. dont ever give up. i know its hard but you have to hang in there. dont let it control you fight it, love yourself for who you are x

  • SOrry abou the repeat post. Unfortunately, the damage is done. Please realize that just because someone isn't skinny, doesn't mean they aren't anorexic. I ate less than 1000 calories, usually less than 600 a day until my mid twenties. The medical community mean well, but they don't know everything. And even though I'm on thyroid meds, I still have many hypo thyroid symptoms. I hope all anorexic women can heal and be healthy. They deserve happiness and health, as do we all.

  • I starved (I allowed my self one piece of bread a day and water or black coffee/tea to drink) for 7 months when I was 15. I have hypothyroidism, so I never got under 124 lbs. (I'm 5'7"). I was desperate to be thin and feel accepted and pretty. For years I starved just to be a size 12. The first time my labs were measured, my TSH was sky high, but because my t3 and t4 were normal, I wasn't treated. Same thing at age 19. Finally at age 28 I got a doctor smart enough to start treating me.

  • my friend faked anorexia..... but its no joke

  • whoa.... i'm never going to starve myself. a few times i've thought about not eating for a few days... but i don't want to die that way. these past few days i've been throwing up my food but i'm going to try not do that anymore because i know that's bad too.

  • the video makes me cry. and when I read the last sentence: "There is nothing beautiful about about anorexia"... for a moment the "beautiful" got wings....

  • My best friend had anorexia. Once upon a time she was happy, bubbly, she laughed and talked non stop. Now I barely see her, she doesn't want to be seen any more, I was terrified of losing her... Now I realise I already have. :(

    This song made me cry. Everyone, every single person in this world is beautiful, look at a person's eyes, where beauty shines the most, it shines there when you smile, when you love, when you sing, when you laugh.

    My beautiful friend - your never alone.

  • this is an amazing song I cant stop playing it! It realy exprecies some of my feelings. (sorry about my bad english :)

  • I am going to die from this illness also. I've been battling it for almost 10 years but as that last girl in the video said, it beats you from the moment it starts. I have damaged my heart, kidneys, teeth, hair, skin, nails, and so much else. I'm 19 and I won't live until my college graduation. My boyfriend broke up with me last week because he can't stand watching me do this without getting help.

  • I watched this video and I cried. But I can't change. Not yet. God help us all.

  • @bnwy47

    I also cried.

  • I begin to worry myself..

    I've always been underweight..But now.. i don't eat.. my mum tried to force me..but it didn't work..

    I don't wanna eat..but I do feel hunger..I don't know what to do..

    I don't wanna be underweight any longer.. Iäve been it all my life..

    Any advice you can give me?

    Nobody understands the pain of looking at the numbers slowly fading away.

  • i hope anyone who has this gets better and can move on im slowly watching my brother die and it hurts more and more eve=ryday

  • i recovered when i was 17 :) i'd had it since i was 13. please, please get help before its too late. i identify with every single picture in this video, so before you do to, save yourself.

  • somedays i look in the mirror, and i feel alright, i can eat a little, maybe start to beleive i could get better. other days i cant eat anything, i will be deceitful and do anything to get rid of food, rid of myself. i need your help, because im broken on the inside- you cant ever fix me- but someday in the future, i dont no when, i dont no how- but i will make it through somehow xxxx

  • I'm weight restored, but still only eat 400 calories tops. At 122 pounds I feel like the fattest person alive. Anorexia has taken over my life. There is no turning back, I've tried and I can't. People don't understand the pain thatthis disorder brings. It doesn't bring you a perfect body, tons of guys, and bliss. It brings you pain, suffering, and nothing but bones and a broken heart.

    Together we'll make it through...Somehow.

  • even after i watch this, i know i won't change anything.

  • I can't believe I let this take over my life.

  • @ImaLooker9 Trust God and stay strong. It's never too late to change your life, until your life is over. You're a beautiful person and you should have a good life, don't be your own worst enemy. Be brave, take things one step at a time, everything will be okay. Just trust God and stay strong :)

  • I cried through this entire video :( I've just started to admit to myself that I need help...after 14 long years. I am so alone and argue with myself everyday about whether or not to even attempt. I'm not really even sure I'm sick enough. I am so tired of this life.

  • @kristen81004 Please get help now..I know how easy it is to convince yourself that you are not sick enough, but it is important to get help before you are sick enough so that you do not get any more into this illness..

    You are not alone..there are so many people struggling with this; I did for a long time, and now, looking back, I wish I had gotten help sooner.

    If you ever need to talk, message me anytime :)

    I'm praying for you :)

  • @kristen81004 alone did i hear it right ? im here for u so u are not alone. dont u wanna have a better life ? the world out there has got so many experiences for u to live u dont wanna di without knowing all tht do u ? listen up i lived anorexia but its totally over in my life ! i can give u some tips advices to get through the hell u r living in bc i can understand u, but u have to colaborate with me. do u wanna knoq my story ? how did u start having issues with ur wweight ?

  • My sister recovered from anorexia when she was 16, this video was a real tear jerker because it's made me realize how difficult it really is for people to recover and how lucky my sister was to get through it. :-)

  • I'm being forced to put on weight now -_-

    In 2 years I'll be 16 and free from my parents, and hopefully lose more than ever. Good luck to anyone else hoping to lose weight.

  • @Rachl0l0l0l0 please . realize what your doing isnt safe . im the same age as you , and im struggling too . no matter what you thiink now , when you look back , you will realize that you are beautiful the way you are. you are perfect just as you are, and you dont need such a drastic measure to try and become something that NO ONE is . the people who are stick thin are either very ill , or not real . please . accept the help . ♥

  • @TaylorWentWonderland I've put weight on since that comment. I still apparently have the "block". I can't see my actual size, but I've started to believe that I am thin, because people keep telling me this. I still look like I'm 7 stone 9, even though I've put nearly a stone on.

    Thank you for your concern though <3

  • @Rachl0l0l0l0 You should find out what a healthy weight is for your height, and stick to it. What you want to do is dangerous and it doesn't have to be this way. God made your body to function a certain way and if you get too skinny your body won't be able to function properly and it will shut down.

    I'm sure you are beautiful just the way you are. Don't worry about what you weigh. Idk who you are or what your life is like, but just trust in God and stay strong and everything will be alright.

  • i just got over my annorexic and bulimic ways for almost a year now... BUT I HAVE TO AGREE THAT I LOOKED GREAT WHEN I WAS 120 people stares at me and what to speak with me... i think ima diet again

  • No one is perfect, if we are all perfect, it would be very boring.

  • i cried watching this :'(

  • @animegirl271 me too.

  • To itsybitsyspider person, you may be fine now but Just wait a few more years, then you will be sorry. God made u for a purpose, and it wasn't to die from starvation! And if u have been doing this since u were 14, well thats my age now, but u probably think u aren't skinny enough right? Well get this, by doing this at that age u are probably skin and bones, and that is not beautiful! Being skin and bones let's people know that you have a problem! And if u have ppl saying the same thing (includi

  • Comment removed

  • This song is fucking retarded and I have been anorexic since I was 14 (5+ years ago).

  • i love being thin

  • man all you savage mother fuckers out there will feel sorry for people who suffer from Anorexia , but make fun of those that suffer from being over weight to the point they cant move.people dont want to be like this eather way hudge or real skinny its mental for them.it just seems that over weight people dont get treated in the same way that they to have problems.

  • then someone tells me how good I look

    and for a moment

    I am happy

  • oh my god this is hard to watch nobodys perfect be ur self eat plz its killing me this video makes me cry these people r so young dont trow away ur life it breks my heart

  • This video always makes me cry. Thank you. It makes me to remember, what is anorexia and life really about. I've already been in that stage when my heart could have stopped at any second. Why do I keep doing this? It's so useless.

    Excuse me, I have a life to live.

  • Melissa Brock! Not Michelle Brok. There is no Michelle in SuperChick.

  • i don't like these stories, i just wanted to listen to the song :(

  • easier said then done.......

  • Beautiful video. All of my sisters and brothers still struggling with these illnesses, keep fighting the good fight!

  • i love that pic at the beginning! In the hot air balloon and throwing the food out on the ground. I throw so much food out, wen i dont feel like i need to eat.

    Great song and video! keep up the great work.

    STAY Strong and starve on <3

  • @karrot16 There's no strength to be found in starving. This video is pro-recovery and pro-awareness.

  • A powerful message..so sad.

  • when I see this I get scared and want to stop...but I can't, I hate the image at the mirror staring back at me :(

  • @ ClythiaMystica ... oh real mature dude, you made everything feel so prettier haven't you? if it wasn't for the so call "attention"you're talking about many people would have died cause the world hadn't known their problems and couldn't offer their help and support! ..no matter if StrawberryKField needs attention or not ..still her video made many people realise maybe little by little how fucked up this "illness"really is...be more open minded and carring...it wouldn't kill you

    GG uploader xD

  • Are people really arguing over this video? I guess the severity of this illness didn't get through to everybody. It's not something that should be argued over, it's real, and this video really spoke to me personally . . . Lovely job, StrawberryKField.

  • is anerexia when you throw up??

  • @bieberbabe10197

    No that bulimia. People with anorexia starve themselves.

  • this made me sad, and scared me.

    i want recovery.

  • @StrawberryKField You expect us to feel sorry for you, dont you? All you want is attention. Get help you sick person

  • @ClythiaMystica "Get help" is not an automatic solution. You can't just go to a doctor and get better that day. Maybe she IS getting help.

  • =[ that part at :45 makes me so sad! i feel like i wanna die everyday even right now T___T i seriously cant hold on much longer to my life, things are just getting bad... being homeless ocassionally and having a hard time surviving and starving all the time. ana and mia have my gripped very tight, i cannot let go of them either. I speak with them sometimes, i suppose... Its all in my head X_X stay strong <33

  • @karrot16 hang in there

  • all i have to say is that i cant live without anorexia and im not afraid to say it, but im nearly 6feet tall and 130lbs so im thinish X__X Thank you for posting this good video <3 stay strong

  • omg, this just opened my eyes. i went to nationals for running two years now and the junior olympics. no one knows i started running to loose weight and just became good at it because i did it so often to stay skinny. Now, I am eating healthy and running because i love the sport, not to be skinny. thank you :)

  • I have IBS.. it means eating for me has always been a challenge. Sometimes I have starved myself to illness other times I have eaten myself sick.. sometimes I'm afraid to even eat because I'll be sick.. I have severe depression and fight every day not to give up...yes I am a suicide survivor. thatsjennifer2u I know how bad things can get being proud of your eating disorder is the same as me being suicidal. It's my control, my life,but do you really want to die??I survived so can you.

  • i recently recovered :)

  • my counselor says i am very dehydrated, thats because i havent eaten and hardly drinken anything in a week. But my question is how do i fix that without eatting or drinking?

  • @thatsjennifer2u just eat. It takes more then just a sandwich to get u to pack on the pounds. Youll also find it less painful then starving yourself. If you dont, then i hope you find a good grave

  • @chickyp119 whatever, you think just because i am not drinking or eatting anything I am going to die. I will so prove you wrong. Plus its about more then a sandwich and pounds, do you know anything about eatting disorders?

  • @thatsjennifer2u u sound proud of ur eating disorder. wait, do u have an eating disorder or not?

  • @chickyp119 I am proud of my eating disorder, its the one thing in my life i can controll. Yes I have an eating disorder why else would i go almost 2 weeks without food?

  • @thatsjennifer2u Ppl with eating disorders have a fear of being out of control. However, anorexia is TOO much control. there is a very fine balance in which ppl can eat and still smile

  • @chickyp119 r u saying i dont have an eating disorder? Then i wish you where my doctor then i would have never been hospitalized for it

  • @thatsjennifer2u im fully aware u have an eating disorder. thts y im telling u tht there is a balance where u cn eat and smile in the end.

  • I am anorexic..I lost 10 pounds in one month..people tell me it's not healthy, but it's making me beautiful..I'm getting skinnier..what's wrong with that?

  • 1:27 im sorry buh i ACTUALLY wanna look like tht she luks amazin and im nt one of those ppl tht jst says this stuff to get ppl to go EWWW U FREAK nah her stomach is actually AMAZIN -_-

  • great video!!!

  • i dont have this illness... but i know how hard it is 2 fit in. y do we do this? if there reallly my friends i expect 2 luv me the way i am skinny, chuby, or curvy, same for boyfriends/girlfrieds. being skinny is not the definition of beauty....

  • I'm in shock...

  • Is it weird that this makes me me want to be skinny even more?

  • my soul's already died..

    and i'm not sure my body won't do the same sooner or later..

    trying to recover is so hard..

    :(

  • @extensa08 youll get through it just remember how strong you are on the inside! you can never give up people say that the definition of bravery is not being afraid, but thats not true! the real definition is BEING AFRAID but doing it anyway! everyone believes in you no matter how contrary it feels...and this isnt just for one person, its for everybody, ill lend my support no matter who you are :)

  • ive recovred for more than a year but am back but in the most teribble way

    i dont like people looking at me , even when they tell me bcos am pretty i feel they lie to me

    they are just looking at my ugly body

    i hate myself more than before

    am tring to focus on something else but it's not working

    i dont even look at myself in the mirra coz am afraid to </3

  • The poem at the end of the video, you said it was by Chantel?

    I googled the exact phrase, found the poem & it was written by Heather...?

  • it's so hard...

    but so is it...

    the reality about eating disorders...

    there's really nothing nice about it...

    i know it..

  • I won't get as bad as that...

  • I won't get as bad as that...

  • Fck I'm falling in it again ..

  • I saw this video...with tears streaming...I chose life . 2 yrs ago my heart almost stopped...I will not be a victim to this Disease. Today I will choose life again!

  • great video-- who is the male author??

  • Michael Krasnow

  • People with annorexia are thin but when they see themselves in a mirror they see a fat slob

  • when i was 14 i sometimes thought i was fat but i never stopped eating but i did eat a lot less a boy in my class said i was a 'fat cow' and for about two weeks all i ate was breakfast bars and then my mom started to notice that i was getting alot thinner and she pulled me out of it she stopped it before it got too bad she made me realize that i am who i am not fat not thin but me and that im beautiful in my own way and i love her so much im 17 now and i keep a healthy body weight

  • I was one of thelucky ones who recovered from this illness but it took a long time and i lost my friend to it as well as damaging my heart.

    your right though

    there is nothing beautiful about anorexia.

  • @flyawaytoahappyplace

    That's really good. I'm glade you got over it. :D

  • omg i started to cry at 0:19 and could not see the rest. my friend died b/c she liyed about her health. god i miss he and this is a good video btw

  • i told another lie today

  • I Love this song. And this video is excellent. My dance team is using this song in an anti-anorexia performance

  • Comment removed

  • this is just sick.....

    i dont know who would do this to themselves...

    who could do that

  • I won't let it get that bad

  • It's deadly everyone who thinks the illness is a life style should be slapped it's deadly and the one's who reach for recovery it's to late.

    give you a good example I don't want to reach for the phone I'm really okay.

    DEADLY.

    SHOULD BE SLAPPED FOR TELLING PEOPLE YOU STARVE FOR PERFECTION

  • this was a great vid. i have anorexia im still at a healthy weight but im in the mind state. ppl need to see the reality of this disease. its nothin like the stereotypical girl thats skinny, pretty popular with a sparkling personality. its ugly, painful and u ISOLATE, not become popular. its pure sadness and insecurity. u will nvr be happy. sorry to ramble, i just had to get tht out there :)

  • @Katieluvsmilk15 Omg your right. there is so much more to it then being skinny... :'(

  • @Soccergirl definately not that is perfection <3

  • nothing can explain how bad this sickness is.

  • just wondering but is 130 pound over wait for a girl that is 5 feet 11 inch

  • @soccergirl2277 depends how much is muscle

  • @soccergirl2277 depends if yiou're healthy as ub eating or not,cause some girls eat alot and stay skinny (whom im jealous of )

  • @soccergirl2277 no its under

  • thankyou for posting this people need to know the reality of this desease. I'm happy someone addressed this powerfull song as being what it is a recovery song! I cant grasp why people use this song for encouragement to stay sick. I have this song on my mp3player, it makes me cry! and know theres hope! God can help you! yes, this band beleives in God so you cant say that I'm spewing crap, because these singers are here to share thier talent with you and the lord.

  • Why do people do this? It's to there self!!

  • becuase they feel ugly and cant look in a mirror without being disgusted by what they see before them and the pain they feel in their heart when they realise the disgusting creature before them this themself. everytime you eat something u feel angry with yourself and it gets easier to stop hating yourself as you stop eating.

  • That's really, really sad...:( I feel sorry for them. :(

  • @flyawaytoahappyplace thats so sad.

  • amazing video

    you can control hunger, but you can't control Ana.

  • I agree with you she would be appauled!

  • I'm tryin 2 get better now. im 14 years old and i binged and starved for days. that went on for 2 yrs now. i thought i couldnt trust any1 not even myself. now, i found someone who loves me enough to make me eat. i think i'm gonna make it

  • The state champion runner was from my city..... she ran for my school...... =(

  • cet sik je lecoute pour me donner du courage

  • im trying to recover now. it scares me :(

  • @sortofcool123 You can do it! Take it one step at a time.

  • Many*

  • There was a girl in my school who didnt have mant friends.. she lost a lot of weight and became really popular. and she lost it over the summer vacation (2 months)

  • OMG! I used to weigh 113 now I weigh 103. I want to stop but it seems like every day I'm loosing more.

  • kilograms? or pounds?

  • Powerful video. I have anorexia and this was really uncomfortable to watch.

  • this makes me so sad :(

  • Don't measure your self-worth by the number on the scale. You are beautiful no matter what.

  • These comments made me never want to ever go on a diet... ever again.

  • mirror mirror on the wall tell me who's the fattest one of all.

    is there a sight any one knows of that not taken off like most ;((( I can visit to talk too people with this

  • Wow.....

    I never knew how many people were like me untill I started to read these comments........

    I have an ED

    I dont ever tell anyone though.

    I have gone from 110 to 90 in a few weeks...

  • hey, i'm katie. my sister had an eating disorder. it almost killed her. trust me when i say that i know first hand anorexia does to a person, and to a family. you need to tell someone. this is not your fault, you have done nothing wrong. you just need to get help. you can be happy again, and you can live a good life. i just wish someone had been there to tell maggie that. i hope this helps.

  • thanks :)

  • i do too

  • I know how you feel. Thats how I feel. You are beautiful. You are loved. You just dont relise it. Even if you dont FEEL beautiful, You must always remember that you ARE. Dont let anyone tell you that you are ugly. I made that mistake once. I am getting help now. You should too. Remember, that when nothing is right You will always have youself Which is all that really matters. Others dont matter. Only you.
  • this song makes me cry i suffer from it. i think im always fat. i only eat one cereal bar a day. i used to be 110 a month ago n now 89 pounds. dont know when to stop.

  • You should stop before it's too late. You should know to stop because it hurts, pain in the body is telling you something is wrong.

    zA~

  • :´(

  • I'm 21, I've had an ED since I was ten, sometimes death seams like a better option than living with this ED. I've lost everything important to me because of my disorder... other than the weight... i'm still fat.

  • I really like this song,

    Its inspirational and has alot of meaning.

    I have an eating disorder so can realte to what it is saying

  • I am a cutter have been for a while...I have stopped now but I still question doing it sometimes... please email me if you would like to talk. I am here for you all.
