Shocking anerexia websites

just read this one.....kinda scarey:

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Sunday, May 1st, 2005[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]12:31 am - Crawling back.... [/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Almost two years down the line and here I am again. For want of somebody to talk to, for somebody... anybody... to feel my pain. I am fucking pathetic and I know it.

I used to reel of my problems, every doctor's diagnosis, as though it were a medal. I guess you could say I was a trophy whore. My trophies were a number of disorders... self-harm, eating disorders, panic etc. They used to be all I existed for. I lived and breathed them. And much as I realise how self-centred I was two years ago... I wish to fucking God that I was her again. I wish to God I was that same trophy whore.

But... God has forgotten me and I must make my own desity... through a series of resolutions.

Resolution 1
I will be thin. I will be light as snow and pure as air. I am a beautiful person on the inside, there is no reason (apart from lazy self-indulgence) why I shouldn't be on the outside. I have put on weight over the past years and I vow to lose it again. I will do this by humiliating myself on here, by telling you all my current weight and by listing off what I have eaten each day until I get a grip of myself and show some self-control. I am disgusting and I want to change that.

Resolution 2
I will be perfect. I will smile and nod at the right times and stand up and be strong whenever it is required of me. I will have everybody wanting to be me, not having a lcue about what goes on inside. I will stop clutching at my neck, remembering the bruises from trying to hang myself every time some little things go wrong. Instead, i will take it out on my body through starving which will make me, eventually, happy.

Resolution 3
I will stop relying on other people. I will overcome the urge to scream and shout and tell them how I really feel. I will stop wanting altogether. I will be a pillar of strength for others and never ask for anything myself. I am alone and that is the way things should be.

So there they are, my resolutions typed. And here I am, my fat ass at a computer while I think about food. I just weighed myself. 144 lbs. All time high is 156 and my lowest weight has been 105lbs. For now, I strive for 140. and then 135. and then 130. I will go down in fives until I vanish from this earth. Until I am a shadow of my former self. I will give myself my old determination and do something other than eat, study and sleep. This is not good enough. Never good enough. Never.[/FONT]

The.Menace, by definition anorexia is an emotional disorder where people basically have a distorted self-image of their weight. The eating part is a result of this disorder, not the cause. The sequence is anorexia --> eating disorder, not eating disorder --> anorexia.
I don't have anorexia and I haven't talked to anyone with anorexia so I don't know to what extent starving yourself is free choice. I don't think you should speak of free choice unless you have researched it. Have you?
Same goes to k69atie though. Have you done enough research to know that it's 100% not a choice?

mmm good question.

i am not sure on that one some sites say it is some say it isn't so i am unsure!

I've always wondered. Sometimes when I think about it, I do think they're just stupid because they know starving yourself is a hazard to your health and they should just stop but it's an abnormal fear of being fat which I don't have so I can't possibly imagine what it's like. And with that realization I'll never say it's their own fault or say it's completely out of their hands.
What I'm wondering most of all is to what extent the disorder influences their ability to recognize the problem and seek help before they cause bodily harm.

these people are fucked,seriously.

"Thank God I have this ugly fat body for which to focus on and hate and spend all my time trying to fix, change, lessen. Thank God for exercise machines, and diet pills. Thank God for weightloss. Thank God I can try and fix the outside because I just know that the inside is beyond repair."


"Hunger hurts but starving works ..."

"Starvation is fulfilling. Colors become brighter, sounds sharper, odors so much more savory and penetrating that inhalation fills every fibre and pore of the body. The greatest enjoyment of food is actually found when never a morsel passes the lips. "

"One day I will be thin enough. Just the bones, no disfiguring flesh. Just the pure clear shape of me, bones. That is what we all are, what we're made up of and everything else is just storage, deposit, waste. Strip it away, use it up. "

"You will be tempted quite frequently, and you will have to choose whether you shall enjoy the twenty minutes or so that you will be consuming excess calories, or whether you
will cordially despise yourself for two or three days, for your lack of willpower"

"Nothing. Nothing is wrong, and asking is against the rules. Crying is against the rules. You're strong, don't let them break you. They're trying to destroy you. "

If we are allowing free speech. And websites on that basis.

Should we alow paedophillia, or snuff websites?

U can't paint this in black 'n white, it's not about free choice or not, it's somewhere inbetween. No alcoholic wants to become an alcoholic but it's his free choice 2 start drinkin first.

You can see all their bones in their back, stupid women. EAT SOMETHING!

Good point Pittsey.

I think sites should be shut down if they're having an adverse affect on people who don't have the proper mental capabilities to make good decisions or they influence people to harm others.
If anorexia affects people's judgement these sites should definately be sut down.

good point - but if we close this website we might also have 2 close bodybuilding websites cause they aren't natural neigther.

I don't think you should speak of free choice unless you have researched it. Have you?

See, beeing related with someone sufferin from this illness I don't think I have 2 do a lot of research 2 be able 2 talk about it Chron. About free choice, well, she doesn't recognize the problem at all. It's very similar to my alcoholic friends that keep sayin "they got it under control" or "they know what they're doin".

It's different. You become an alcoholic through drinking. You don't become anorexic through starving yourself. You can't compare the two this way.

Agreed.

there's a good way to make them feel better!! call them stupid. most of them are children and honestly don't know any better



chronic.....drinking isn't healthy yet someone chooses to do it same as starving yourself isn't healthy and others choose to start that. no on intends on becoming a victim of something

Come on man. "I don't have anorexia and I haven't talked to anyone with anorexia so I don't know to what extent starving yourself is free choice. I don't think you should speak of free choice unless you have researched it. Have you?"

So lame to say you don't need to do research because you know someone who has it when it's obvious that I was asking if you had the proper knowledge to speak on it. So if you think you do a simple 'yes' would suffice.

Already commented on the comparison to addiction.

So lame to point that out man. Instead of a yes I did type one sentence - one. Well fuck it.

no on intends on becoming a victim of something

yes I think that's nicely put.

 

[Pittsey]

People are comparing this to alcholism.

Where are the websites that encourage people to drink until they damage their liver?

And if there is... Then those should be closed too. Any website that encourages idiots to damage themselves should be shut down. I don't believe in nannying people, but some people are too dumb to look after themselves. And it's my money that pays when they are being kept alive on a hospital bed.

What's your point though?
I don't think you've read my posts very well. I'll say it again.

The sequence of being anorexic:

You have anorexia --> you starve yourself
NOT You starve yourself - you become anorexic

The sequence of becoming an alcoholic:

You drink --> you become an alcoholic
NOT You are an alcoholic --> you drink (to any retards, you know what I mean).

Therefore you can't compare the two. The problem with anorexia is there before you start starving yourself. Have you ever met an alcoholic who hasn't drank a single drop off alcohol in their life?

If you starve yourself you are not automatically anorexic. Anorexia has nothing to do with an eating disorder. An eating disorder is the possible result of anorexia.

I'm not pointing towards the fact that you wrote more than one word.
To compare your responce was like someone pointing towards a piece of meat and asking if you wanted some more but accidently said 'you want some more mead?' and you replying 'no but I'll have some more meat'.

its a shame what some people will do to their own bodies nowadays

not at all,because those are criminal activities.

You make a good point.

I'll change it to should we allow self harm websites?
