Never before have I heard someone this insensitive towards this issue. This issue does not have to do with somebody not appreciating available food, but a deep, deep mental problem. My friend almost died to anorexia nervosa. She is recovering, but still struggles with depression. I hope that one day you see that these people are not vain, they are not seeking attention, they are people who need help for a very serious and life threatening condition. I hope you have a good, healthy life.

@unapologeticmind dude its not that. or maybe sometimes but it also could be that the person used to be fat and people made fun of them. and when the person finally got skinny the felt like they were still fat and were affraid that people would STILL make fun of them. thus they keep getting skinnier

put them in a concentration camp and tell me they still have an eating disorder. only happens where food is always available and parents pander to them.

@phsycopiano please do not wish for anorexia, and do not try for it either! Everybody is insecure about their body, but if you want to change your appearance do it in a healthy was, like exercising an hour a day instead of not eating. Anorexia causes hair loss, depression and even sudden death because your heart muscle just can't work for lack of energy! Maybe try seeing a councilor about this?

I wish I had anorexia. I'm trying though.

I used to be like a toothpick until I reached my 20s. I usually ate only once a day. I loved food though, the greasier the better. It's just that I didn't have a big appetite. It's hard for me to fathom a male having anorexia. It's such a typically female condition. Men are usually not obsessed with the idea of looking like toothpicks in order to receive compliments from the opposite sex. Very strange... I wonder if male anorexia is linked to male homosexuality? That would make far more sense...

I use to be anorexic, but I over came it by myself.

But to this hour, nearly 4 years later, I have NEVER gone a day without thinking about counting my calories, my minutes of exercise, my waist size, if anyone else thinks I'm fat for eating.Anorexia changes your life. Weither you loose the weight when you starve, you will defiantly loose your sanity.Do wish for anorexia, don't aim for it either.

Just reading the comments, omg

Don't wish for anorexia it is hell

Your hair will fall out, your skin will become grey and yellow tinted, you'll develop more body hair and facial hair (which Is always super attractive on a girl, right?)

You won't be able to turn back because you'll always want to go further. Be healthy, excercise, don't over stuff yourself.

Counting calories is addicting and poisonous.
