Here's Some Deathspo For You

There is no such thing as "thinspiration". That one word can & does lead young people into the murky quagmire of self-starvation. So, I have replaced that word with deathspo.

I want to apologize for my stupid rantings yesterday. It's been a bad week. I agree with some of what you said. You have a right to make your voice heard.

When I hear statements like "You're just jealous because you're a fat cow" & "Don't hate on us because we have discipline " it makes my blood boil. What a load of crap. That seems to be the only way any of you respond if someone doesn't find your videos either inspiring or with merit. I am a triathlete & compete several times a year in half Iron Man competitions & have very low body fat because of that. Try doing that when you're weak from starvation.

The fact that you rip on people being ripped is a little bit screwed up. Are you trying to discourage people from starving to death, or do you just want to rag on anyone who has a better body, better self control and actually gives a damn about health and fitness? maybe next time you should focus on one point at a time and dont let your meandering thoughts on the subject conflict with the point your trying to prove.... just saying.

@beechkababe You are so defensive. Try to keep a cool head, okay. I have struggled with eating disorders since I was 16 & have suffered several near-fatal relapses. When I see these "real girl thinspo" videos, I have to wonder how many teens of today will look at those wraith-like figures on film & want to look like those starved & desperately ill young people. There were no videos when I first became ill, but perhaps if there had been, i'd have gotten a lot worse.

And seeing this was a response to my video, i feel i must also say, thinspiration is a tool used to motivate people in their weight loss struggles, it is not used only by anorexics and people with ED. I am healthy as can be, in accordance with my dr. And i look at thinspo because i like the way thin women look. Starvation IS BAD. AND ANYONE WHO WATCHES THINSPO KNOWS THIS. So please feel free to rag on it anytime, but dont expect anyone to be shocked, or even give a damn.
