@veltho78 look u lil piece of shit if u talk crap like that then u deserve to spend ur life depressed and stuck to the fucking toilet for the rest of ur fucking life. I had anorexia and believe me u piece of shit it no game. It's more then cancer it's worse because it's a slow fucking suicide. I was lucky but it's a psychological illness which is most likely genetic. Go fucking read a book for a change instead of being here hating. Ppl like u r sick to me.
i know everyone is adding their stories so i will too. i am 14 years old. i have been anorexic for half my life. i know everyone thinks you just think your fat but i would never do this in a million years if i just wanted to be thin. spread the message, looking good isnt worth your life.
i was very anerxic for 9years stright.sents the time i was 12 till i got married an got pg with my son who is almost 4years old.i am now 25years old.and now after almost 4 years im starting to slip back to my old ways.i am 168.8lbs.i use to be 115lbs.its so hard to lose baby weight:(..hope u all have a good day.lets just say if ur a size 5 be happy with that.as thats what I use to be.now im an 18!so dnt be to hard on ur selfs.God Bless.an yes i am a female.
I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!
ID RATHER DIE!
MY MOTHER IS SO HARD TO FOLLOW TO! SHE ACCUSES ME OF NOT TRYING AND NOT DOING ANYTHING RIGHT AND KEEPS REMINDING ME TO EAT AND RIGHTS DOWN AN EATING SCHEDUALE WHEN REALLY I JUST WANT TO RIP IT UP IN HER FACE!!!!
I FEEL DEPRESSED AND MY BEST FRIEND IS MOVING SO I HAVE NO ONE TO VENT ON. I HAVE PEOPLE COMING TO ME FOR GOSSIP ON MY EATING AND I WANT TO SHOVE EIGHT CUPCAKES DOWN THEIR THROAT
@uttripudio Hey, I was sick some months ago and even though my mother doesn't live with me, she would call and remind me to eat more. I'm grateful that she even gives a damn. You have your mom with you and you're being so mean to her, and giving her worries. Just eat the damn food, you might not really feel hungry but you can drink the milk or something. Ask for some of those meal drinks if you really can't stuff the food in.
@uttripudio oh pls die. Your rich mom can donate that food to a million starving kids and save them. You are DEPRESSED CAUSE YOUR FRIEND ISMOVING? jump off a building. problem solved.
anorexia is not a choice or way of living. it's not a game. it's a hurtful and disgusting disorder. people need to be alot more aware of this, IT'S NOT A FUCKING GAME.
i am so skinny and depressed, it seems like i have it but i DO eat and i am 25 pounds underweight so i TRY to get bigger instead of try to get smaller...i am so confused...
I just wanted to provide some useful insight for those ladies with “eating disorders”.
I really hope everyone is keeping up the healthy, dieting progress. Just remember that you’re getting to where society feels you should be, and you know you should be. Hell now, I diagnose that you’re going to be thin!
Lettuce and water…your two best friends. Shrink that lardy-ness down to a sexy bone.
@sassylatina808 it not something you want for me it just happened i wanted to lose a little weight now i m sick i have had i minor heart attack i am only 20. i think that everyone anorexia start smiler with a not so bad goal of losing a little weight and then for some reasons such as stress, perfectionism , low self esteem no health coping methods or a combination of things i did not realize i was developing anorexia until it was too late. anorexia is a mental illness not a chose or life style
I just had an arguement with my 14 year old. She has lost 10 lbs. In a month. She is 5"4' @ 115lbs. She walks everyday. The sad part is she learned it from me. You will NOT get MY BABY!
God is the one who can free you from this. Give him a chance. Many who have gone this route have been saved from this disease. Give Jesus a chance. He loves you just the way you are.
@EmzilyD what I found helped was comparing myself to my friends.
I'd look at photos of a friend who i thought had a great figure, and then i'd look at my own lanky pictures and compare the difference. soon it made me realise that i wanted to look like my friend, not how i looked..... but it took a long time for me to recover :(
@gabbybella123 Just like all the other girls on these site are comparing there body types to the body types in the video. That is what these are damaging, and the less time you spend on here the better.
this video seems to show how ana isn't as simple as saying no, its so much more then that. i fell encouraged when people can look beyond and find a life out side of there addiction, i pray that some day i will be as lucky
im trying to recover from bulimia, but im scared i might become anorexic, once you have an eating disorder you can neverlook at food the same way and normal is a word you just dont know the meaning of anymore
@13vlee anorexia is a whole new way of thinking. it's not a diet, it's an obsession, a way of life.
your whole view of reality is changed. everything you think of is what you should eat next and when, chosing what to have for lunch can take hours - when i was anorexic i spent ages weighing up the pros and cons of each food, counting calories exactly.
you can't understand it because you're not anorexic.
I think she means people with anorexia not otherwise specified (ED-NOS) They have anorexic behavior and struggle just as much as someone with anorexia, but may not be underweight or meet full diagnostic criteria
it means a person whos average weight or even overweight can be diagnosed with anorexia b/c of their thoughts and the state of mind there in and they can be diagnosed before it gets to bad ware they become dangerously underweight.
Like some of the pictures, if you are anorexic or have been in the past may make you want to be anorexic again, or may make you want to never give up being what you are...
Thank you! Ah, that does make sense. So the pictures might act like a psychological "trigger" activating a relapse of anorexia. I suppose the maker of the video would be horrified if that happened; the video is quite (and accurately so) anti-anorexia.
You're welcome. Yes I think the maker of the video is just trying to explain to us as the audience what anorexia is, afterall they do say that it is so much more than being thin which of course it is...
@Hypophora very good for you to see that. Obviously she doenst care, for I tried to get her to send a more posistive message such as on recovery but she said f00---- you.
i was once anorexic but now recovered. I had a bmi of 12.5. i was only bones. i now have a bmi of 20 :D
all the time i knew i was too thin, but my lack of eating made my stomach bloat after eating one mouthful, so i'd judge by the size of my stomach, not by my thighs which were the same size as my wrists.
i want to give hope to all anorexics - it is possible to recover! I did! and i was never admitted to hospital, even tough i should have been.
@gabbybella123 hi..i'm just curious. do u mind? i wanna know how u get urself back into the right track? someone advised you?how u realised n accept that u was anorexic? cuz i heard the anorexic people don't accept the fact that they are unhealthy n xtremely thin. thnx
@TyraSwift yes you're right, I only admitted I was anorexic during recovery.
My auntie has been anorexic for the last 40 years,she helped me to see the downsides of being thin and was a big help in my recovery. Also, at Christmas I realised how small and silly my portion was compared to everyone, and it was embarassing to see everyone look at me eat so little.And,(this is going to sound silly) I get a lot of..male attention when I go out, but i noticed that this stopped when I was too thin.
@TyraSwift You go the doctor and he looks for symptoms like extreme weigh loss, your blood cells being really low, if you start talking about how you hate food, . Your doctor tells you " I think you are anorexic and need help
GO BACK TO WATCHING YOUR THINSPO AND GO BACK TO FEELING SORRY FOR YOUR SELF AND YOUR DAMN BODY, It's a fucking fight, to become thin, I fucking hate my body, more thinspo??.
God, Have a disordered girl look at the body's of the other girls, and I still find them all fat.
I just saw a girl other day, and she was so fucking pretty and as to starve herself, to ruin her body, and as the body disordered look at these pictures, of these stars, PHOTOSHOPPED..
You couldn't be more wrong. You aren't ED-NOS if your not 85% underweight. This video is right, anyone can be anorexic, whether you are 90 lbs or 200 lbs, it doesn't matter what weight you are at or how skinny you are to be anorexic. hen I first developed anorexia I was at a "normal body weight", now I am classed as "underweight". Anorexia is more than just weight, everything plays in, mind you I obsess over my weight, theres more to it than that, I freak out even if I lose weight sometimes!
Lol I meant to type "85% of one's reccomended weight". So yoah, 15% underweight. And yes, it's a psychological illness. Well, physiological to be specific.
There are a lot more criteria than just counting calories and staying away from sweets. It's an obsession, and anorexia isn't just about being thin. There is typically a lot more going on with the person.
i know im a douchebag to all the people who have this an obviously can't stop but i always have this thought "why is it so difficult to just stop and live life normally?"
You hit the mark very acurately. I know I felt that way in theeginning , and losing weight became a way of life after a while; I didn't think- I just... did.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's like this. They see themselves fat. They hate them selves, so they starve themselves. They can't stop it. They think with all their being that they're giant. Fat. When they're fucking toothpicks. =P It's a mental problem... but they could buy a scale. Look at their real weight, and see that they're fucking skeletons. e_e
to be honest with you, we have scales. We hate thecales, and we love the scales. In one way,the more weight lost means 'I'm in control!' or 'I'm better than everyone else', and so we keep losing... on the other hand, anything about 85 lbs for me is too high. 'I'm MEANT and BUILT to be this thin!' We say to our stupid selves. And THAT'S the truth.
I'm anorexic and to be honest, that's a stereotype. I hate being this thin, but I love and, I'm looking for help. It hurts to have this eating disorder, and WE KNOW we're too thin. Most of us just do it for attention, but people who really have it, don't speak for them, because by the way you're putting it, you don't know what's it like.
There are a lot of reasons people can't stop. For one thing, it's an obsession. Some studies even show links between anorexia nervosa and obsessive compulsive disorder. Also, a lot of people who suffer from an eating disorder are also suffering from a lot of control issues. They feel like they can't control anything, so they do their best to control the one thing they can, their weight. Also, when one starves oneself their body releases endorphins causing somewhat of a high.
Thank you for creating such a good video. I suffer from anorexia and have done for the past 2 years. It's not just about being thin. It really is so much more. Sometimes you feel as if dying would be so much better, to save you from the torment that fills your head.
My Mother passed away from Anorexia Nervosa in July of 1997. I know I'm fat and don't look Anorexic but at the moment I am borderline Anorexic. I don't eat very much and starve myself.
I'm sorry but I'm a bit tired of seeing people fluctuate personas when moving between videos of the obese and videos of the anorexic. Really, do we really have such a large line between the two that it's a tragedy when someone steps over to the other side. I don't care anymore whether people overeat or undereat, let people do what they want whether it's healthy or not. Personally anorexia doesn't move me that much, just pisses me off.
People with anorexia aren't in the beginning aware of that they have a serious condition. What you're saying is that you don't care about a little girl crying in a corner, hungry, pale and depressed who's more scared of gaining weight than dying. In fact, some of them even thinks dying is a better option. The brain don't prefer health before looks when it's in such a depressing state becouse of bad influence and bullying... I think you should consider your answer as it seems very selfish to me..
They Are Currently Doing Research To Look In As To Wether Eating Disordes Such As Anorexia Are Heriditory But There Is Nothing To Prove They Are or Arent
i don't think anorexia is bad. i am anorexic too (it's a diagnosis, not just what i say) but i don't think im sick. when im hungry and if i know i didn't eat anything for days, it makes me feel happy. if i don't eat im more powerful, i can do everything better. anorexia is a friend not an enemy. and it shows power. cause i think, that people who do diets are not strong. they wont loose weight til i do. its hard to understand what is good in it but you can believe that its so good to not eat.
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.
anorexia is very worse... i´m anorexic and bulimic but i would be more anorexic if i would live alone... but here at home there is too much food and sweets and something -.- i turn 17 in may and i have 46,5 kg (102,52lbs) and i´m 160 cm (5,25 foot, is it right?) "tall"... sorry for my bad english - i´m german^^
i am surprised that u guys are even admiting that you had or have anorexia. in most cases the people that suffer from this disorder, deny they have it.
For rhytmic13 you say 25 ? Oh honey Yes my lord ! Please find help before you end up as my daughter Kim she is 28 and just had a Heart Attack due ot her Anorexia Please find help if I understood you right 25 ? at age 13 ? God Bless You
God bless You my daughter Kim came home today but has her tube feeding and an IV stilll . I am so sorry for you too and your stroke may God be with You in your Battle and a Full Recovery xo
this is a DISEASE ! My daughter Kim just had a Heart Attack from having Anorexia she was Never Overweight ! for her Trauma Loss the death of her Fiance You Need to stay Away you are an Undereducated Evil Person
Hey I agree with the video as I am a 31 yr old former A&F model (MALE) that suffered from an eating disorder and love my new life being able to eat and live again thru rehab
its weird i want recovery but at the same time i am so proud that i only ate 300cals an excersized for 2 hours its like i want both thin and recovery at the same time......
i have problems but i dont know who to talk to, coes im a guy i feel like really alone , i have issues with like everything not just weight, i said somthing to my bro and his like stop saying shit what u worried about u sound like a chick with problems dont do that.
Aw, you know the first documented case of anorexia was an English school boy. It's not just a girl problem, I also personally knew a guy with the same body issues I have. Basically all you can do is look for support online unless you have a friend you can deeply trust.
I've been anorexic for 3 months now, my mum keeps saying I've gotten too thin. How could she say that when I look so huge in the mirror? I really don't know what to do =[
After watching Amy on Dr Phil (Deadly Skinny), I realised that watching my diet and worry about what I eat is not worth it. Think about the ones who care about you, think about the effects of not eating and purging. Look for the Amy video on UTube. You'll get what I mean. It's so sad...
.......this is so true and i feel like i cant eat.............but i finnally told my boyfriend and hes gonna help me...i just want to be normall.......but yeah i havent ate for 3 days but tomarrow im gonna binge so yeah
when i was in my preteens and teens, people told me that i was fat and they'd say things like "you shouldn't be eating that, fatso." so now it plays in my head.
i hate this. and i hate it for everyone that must suffer from it.
wats the point of being anorexic its not cool u break up wid ur family nd friends nd ur alone wid nobody to help u so there is no point in to stop eating
I personally think that ANOREXIA is a disease that one can provoke...BY THE LACK OF SELF ESTEEM . I you see yourself FAT in the mirror SO WHAT! IS THAT ALL YOUVE GOT TO OFFER? YOU BODY???
But one day someone offered me some Crystal Meth and I wanted to eat so badly it was all worth it. Sadly a disease like this will make you do something that stupid. I went to rehab after a year of doing Meth and I have so many heart problems.. health problems... family issues. you name it. Anorexia was the cause of my life turning into hell.
But really.. I can tell you sometimes the only way to recover from anorexia.. is to have your family split.
im a guy and i think i got this coes i cant eat i dont know i want to but i cant at one stage i was happy and was at 75kg now i just went down hill and like 64kg and im 6'1 its soo hard to eat i feel like chucky up and i can hardly get a mouth full of food in, if anyone knows what best way to keep down food is tell me
I lost my sister to anorexia :( its not a game!! This is serious its not about wanting to be skinny its soooooo much more.....

God, Have a disordered girl look at the body's of the other girls, and I still find them all fat.
I just saw a girl other day, and she was so fucking pretty and as to starve herself, to ruin her body, and as the body disordered look at these pictures, of these stars, PHOTOSHOPPED..

anorexia isnt a physical illness... its a psychological one. saying that you have to be underweight to be classified as anorexic is ridiculous

under weight?????!!!!!
Sounds like you wish to suffer from it..
so prepare to die from it.
x0geeky0x 2 years ago
All anorexics are thin. If you fit all the criteria for anorexia, but you aren't 85% (or more) underweight, you are ED-NOS.
amandaphobia08 2 years ago
You couldn't be more wrong. You aren't ED-NOS if your not 85% underweight. This video is right, anyone can be anorexic, whether you are 90 lbs or 200 lbs, it doesn't matter what weight you are at or how skinny you are to be anorexic. hen I first developed anorexia I was at a "normal body weight", now I am classed as "underweight". Anorexia is more than just weight, everything plays in, mind you I obsess over my weight, theres more to it than that, I freak out even if I lose weight sometimes!

There are a lot more criteria than just counting calories and staying away from sweets. It's an obsession, and anorexia isn't just about being thin. There is typically a lot more going on with the person.

It's like this. They see themselves fat. They hate them selves, so they starve themselves. They can't stop it. They think with all their being that they're giant. Fat. When they're fucking toothpicks. =P It's a mental problem... but they could buy a scale. Look at their real weight, and see that they're fucking skeletons. e_e
1337treeckolol 2 years ago
to be honest with you, we have scales. We hate thecales, and we love the scales. In one way,the more weight lost means 'I'm in control!' or 'I'm better than everyone else', and so we keep losing... on the other hand, anything about 85 lbs for me is too high. 'I'm MEANT and BUILT to be this thin!' We say to our stupid selves. And THAT'S the truth.
ducgrl 2 years ago
I'm anorexic and to be honest, that's a stereotype. I hate being this thin, but I love and, I'm looking for help. It hurts to have this eating disorder, and WE KNOW we're too thin. Most of us just do it for attention, but people who really have it, don't speak for them, because by the way you're putting it, you don't know what's it like.

@TheCrampz
There are a lot of reasons people can't stop. For one thing, it's an obsession. Some studies even show links between anorexia nervosa and obsessive compulsive disorder. Also, a lot of people who suffer from an eating disorder are also suffering from a lot of control issues. They feel like they can't control anything, so they do their best to control the one thing they can, their weight. Also, when one starves oneself their body releases endorphins causing somewhat of a high.
actingqween 1 year ago
Thank you for creating such a good video. I suffer from anorexia and have done for the past 2 years. It's not just about being thin. It really is so much more. Sometimes you feel as if dying would be so much better, to save you from the torment that fills your head.

I'm sorry but I'm a bit tired of seeing people fluctuate personas when moving between videos of the obese and videos of the anorexic. Really, do we really have such a large line between the two that it's a tragedy when someone steps over to the other side. I don't care anymore whether people overeat or undereat, let people do what they want whether it's healthy or not. Personally anorexia doesn't move me that much, just pisses me off.
JadenTheCoolGuy 2 years ago
People with anorexia aren't in the beginning aware of that they have a serious condition. What you're saying is that you don't care about a little girl crying in a corner, hungry, pale and depressed who's more scared of gaining weight than dying. In fact, some of them even thinks dying is a better option. The brain don't prefer health before looks when it's in such a depressing state becouse of bad influence and bullying... I think you should consider your answer as it seems very selfish to me..

i don't think anorexia is bad. i am anorexic too (it's a diagnosis, not just what i say) but i don't think im sick. when im hungry and if i know i didn't eat anything for days, it makes me feel happy. if i don't eat im more powerful, i can do everything better. anorexia is a friend not an enemy. and it shows power. cause i think, that people who do diets are not strong. they wont loose weight til i do. its hard to understand what is good in it but you can believe that its so good to not eat.

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.

I had anorexia once... for months it went on.
But one day someone offered me some Crystal Meth and I wanted to eat so badly it was all worth it. Sadly a disease like this will make you do something that stupid. I went to rehab after a year of doing Meth and I have so many heart problems.. health problems... family issues. you name it. Anorexia was the cause of my life turning into hell.
But really.. I can tell you sometimes the only way to recover from anorexia.. is to have your family split.
