I think its rather funny ..a person that takes steps closer to death yet you fear death, while me on the other hand isnt afraid of death and without jinxing myself im quite healthy...I do hope things work out though, you are really beautiful and I know a stangers point of few doesnt matter to you but im quite jealous of how pretty you are
I don't think she's wrong. Anyone who struggles with a psychological disorder ultimately chooses to regress inorder to be comfortable, mainly because of fear. I think she's awesome because she's holding herself accountable (your very grown up vanessa) BUT I think she has hurts that run deeper than high school. Vanessa I really hope you find or have found the help you require.
It's actually sickening to see people writing 'she's not that thin' she is THAT thin, some anorexics develop anorexia at 52kg, so it's much easier for them to lose weight so quick. She's blatantly not a first language English speaker so some of the things she is saying comes across different to her meaning.
I don't think she's an attention seeker. You are all right with that Anorexia isn't a choice. But the people stuggling with Anorexia aren't always too skinny. And i Think she's too skinny. You have to look to how much weight she has lost. That isn't normal.
Vanessa I'm proud that you shared this video with us. I hope you're doing okay!
dont let all that proana junk get to you, it's not a choice at all.... I almost died because of it, and that was never my choice... my only choice was to fight hard to get healthy and live!
Doll, look in the mirror and say to yourself, "Wow, what a beautiful woman. She is so lovely." That's you, darling. That's you, beautiful an wonderful. I know it's not that easy but it helps to hear it. Trust me, I KNOW.
I don't really get it. Like if you were eating 50 calories a day (or 500 and it was a typo) why would it take you a month to lose 4 kilos..? That just doesn't make sense.
@DanCingGinga i agree with you, on 50 calories you'd lose 2lbs a day until weight plateau ... that'd be 28ish lbs per month. :/ obvs everyone is different, but on average..
wow the fact that you said you knew you were beautiful then why did you keep starving yourself. I don't think people with EDs ever see themselves as beautiful at least I sure don't. How tall are you because for most anorexic at 110 don't see themselves as thin. I got down to 96 lbs and I still didn't think I was thin enough. Anorexics never think their thin enough.
your beautiful so just stop please or try im a lil bit smaller then the weight you were at the start of your clip i wish i could be down to atleas 68kg but its hard your beautiful you know that so just fight each day as it comes just add a cuple more calories
everyone needs to stop complaining about her "anorexia is a choice" shit. its obvious throughout the video that she doesnt know English all that well. Get over it. Dont take her words to heart and its obvious she has an eating disorder.
@shoponline831 Just because a person doesn't appear skinny doesn't mean they aren't suffering with anorexia. An obese person that restricted most calories can be considered anorexic.
I must agree with MsSchuk. This video is confusing.
Some parts are incorrect. Anorexia is not a choice. I didn't ask for this. No one did. But I do hope you can stay strong and get through this battle <3.
You are beautifull no matter what anyone tells you, i know it can be hard to sometimes see this yourself, i have body dismorphic disorder and everytime i look in the mirror i see a monster, i have bulimia with anorexic tendencies, seeking help nothing to be afraid of once you find the right person i'm here if you want to talk
I'm not sure that any person with a real disease would post something like this. Yes, anorexia IS a DISEASE, because the effects of it destroy the body. So do you think alcoholism isn't a disease? It seems that you think anorexia is popular to have, as if you do it for attention. You don't have to like what I say, but it's the truth. Having a choice doesn't not constitute something as not being a disease.
@emmaluvszum People post videos about diseases to educate other people (and get sympathy). So originally it might have been a choice not to eat, but it's a choice that shows some much deeper problem -- just like suicide is. And then, any story about serious anorexia will tell you that it's not a choice after a while. People want to stop and can't. Like so many other destructive diseases (I mean cutting, etc.)
@Elemarth Okay, obviously you did not read my comment. I said that anorexia is a disease, whereas the person states in the video that it is not. I was pointing out that anyone who can recognize such a problem would say it is a disease. I'm not stupid, I know what anorexia is and I believe I have much deeper understanding than you ever would. I never said anything about it being a choice or not being a choice. What I said was that having a choice doesn't mean that it isn't a disease.
WOW! plaesee get help i begg youu .... i got help and its bad going through it at the moment but u willl be HEALTHY, STRONG, AND HAPPPY! .. i never wanted to get help but i did cause it hurtss....a nutritionist can help u eat healthyyyy and eat like 2000-2500 cals a day and still learn to exercise and keep youu not from going back to wat u would call disgustingg........so i know i dont know youu but after seeing ur video i can see tht ur trying hardd but u and ur friends cant do this alonee ....
hey, I have anorexia and bulimia and don't know what else and I hate those stupid videos about 'sad' girls, it's a madness, these people are making themself ill, for what? this film is good, shows a bit of reality, believe me - not every girl with anorexia was happy child and had normal family, don't copy other's words, write something from you! despite evrything below I like watching those vids ;) bless ya :)
I agree 100%. It's like "Look at me happy, now i'm skinny, now i'm sad" Those of us who really do have issues don't usually talk about them. Let alone putting PICTURES on the internet!!! I would NEVER let anyone (not even my friends) see me in a tshirt. :(
@Ashley62442712 I think you're absolutely right. I feel exactly the say way. I would never talk about this with anyone and I'm used to hide my pictures or cancel them.
i enjoyed your video but I didn't like the slide where you said "anorexia is a choice". It is not a choice .. I would have never chosen to ruin my life with this disease!
it is a choice, it's mental. Everyone has their own problems, whether it be with food, germs, people etc.. but ultimately it's your choice to give into it.
Correction. "Restricting" is a choice. It's usually a choice charged by things outside of our control (In Vanessa's case, people who ridiculed her body at school/wanting to model/.. In others, maybe abuse or familial dysfunction, as was in mine)
Anorexia itself can never be a choice. These "pro ana" girls will never have the real disease, in my personal opinion [[w/ maybe the unlikely exception of someone who was already prone to becoming sick, ie: genetics and a specific personality type...)
pretty much everything you said after "correction" stands perfectly with what I said. So I completely agree with you.
I've had problems with germs for over 10 years. I can't help the thoughts, but it's my choice to give in and shower for hours until I "feel clean" to relieve anxiety.
so where anorexics have their paranoid irrational thoughts, I have mine.
Friends who notice something's wrong and who really care are precious. Don't let your ED drift you apart.
The fight is going to be extremely hard and you will fall back some times, but it is so worth it. You are beautiful, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Take care.
I think its rather funny ..a person that takes steps closer to death yet you fear death, while me on the other hand isnt afraid of death and without jinxing myself im quite healthy...I do hope things work out though, you are really beautiful and I know a stangers point of few doesnt matter to you but im quite jealous of how pretty you are

You story is a little weird and confusing.
I know how it is to have an ED,
If you have anorexia you don't think you're 'beautiful'
And it isn't a choice.
It's psychish.
It looks more like you don't have an ED but you just
losed to much weight to fast or something.
