Anorexia : Mental disease or chick obsession?

[Sultan Suleiman]

Oh dear god! She's not only anorexic but also a tanning victim! She either burns to death by radical UV exposure or she starves to death. Somebody should bring her in a Reha institution as soon as possible. What's her fucking friend doing? Unbelievable!

HOLY SHIT!!!

You are... You are capable of compassion?

Oh dear god! She's not only anorexic but also a tanning victim! She either burns to death by radical UV exposure or she starves to death. Somebody should bring her in a Reha institution as soon as possible. What's her fucking friend doing? Unbelievable!

He is her husband. He is supposed to take care of her.
Another TV presenter , friend of her, ''dragged'' her to the hospital, and she stayed for 11 days, now left from there.

The problem is not that she is only that way, but thinking that she is okay that way, going on vacations, tanning, and talking model photos of having fun around.

She is not gonna live, this is so sad.

I think the saddest part is that even if she did get intense treatment and was in the hospital for months and was able to gain weight back, I don't know if she could ever reverse the damage she's done to her body. Her organs must be destroyed and I think she would end up dying very young anyway

It's a consumerism side effect and urban illness ..Do you know any peasant suffering from Anorexia?

The more we exile ourselves from nature the more we are destroyed, both our body and mind .
I m so sorry for the girl

Well said. Very sick version of a 1st world problem. People seemingly create unnecessary and senseless problems for themselves when they don't have any "real" problems.

I don't think it need be stated that our culture is messed up in regards to its standard of beauty. Obviously, it is these ridiculous standards that make women develop such eating disorders in the first place. I don't care for fake bleached blonde hair, and the fakeness championed by our culture.

I appreciate plump women, and the classical standard of beauty:

The problem is that fashion is mostly run today by homosexuals who are designing clothes to women. Homosexuals believe that male body is sexy and that effects the way they design. Now that said, there are women out there that were born thin. Today we have have a warped perception of what beauty is. It is either to thin or to fat.

At work we once had an anorexic dothead. She was 5'2"ish and weighed 45 lbs. She was too weak to get out of bed and she was pulling out her feeding tubes which were placed because she refused to eat perferring to life off of diet soda and aspartame.

1. Drink a glass of water every hour. It will make you feel full.

2. Dont try to fast for days and days. First of all, fasting for long periods of time actually slows down the metabolism, second, it increases binge cravings immensely, and third, it affects your mood greatly. Instead of being happy for losing weight, youll be depressed simply because of lack of food.

3. If you live on your own or have a lot of privacy, tape/tack up pictures of your favorite models and always carry one around with you. When you're hungry pull out the picture. If you live on your own, tape them up on the fridge, freezer, and cupboards (just remember to take them down or cover them when people come over).

4. In between each mouthful of food that you eat, take a sip of water. It fills you up and slows down your eating so that you stay in control and the meal doesnt turn into a flat-out binge.

5. I would not recommend taking laxatives because they are not an effective way of purging, and you actually gain weight by taking them. There are natural laxatives though, found in foods like prunes and grapes. Also, there are certain sugar-free cough drops and candies that produce a laxative effect because of the sugar substitute used in them.

6. Try to eat in the same place every day. Somewhere solitary. Not in front of the TV or computer. If you have to stop what youre doing to go eat you might not even bother.

7. Eat what you crave. But eat it before you crave it in moderation. For instance, instead of a whole chocolate bar, get one of the small ones and only eat 1/2 of it. Allow yourself to enjoy it. Deprivation leads to bingeing.

8. Sleep at least 6 hours a night. Less than 6 hours sleep a night stimulates appetite by 15%. A lot of people with eating disorders suffer from insomnia, but it really is important to get as much sleep as possible.. Not just for weight loss, but because it helps the body stay healthy even though it is starving.

9. Always eat teaspoon size amounts of food at any one time and chew well. You will become fuller with less food so wont want to finish what's on your plate.

10. Try drinking more hot beverages, especially in fall and in winter. Hot liquids expand the intestinal tract and make you feel more full. A warm drink can help take the edge off your hunger, preventing overindulging later.

11. Focus especially on the first three bites. After that, the excitement of eating will begin to slowly subside, and you'll probably be content with a smaller portion.

12. Spicy foods raise your metabolism and burn slightly more calories than mild foods.

13. When you go out, take only a few bucks with you so when you walk past the pastry shops you can't afford anything.

14. Before you dig into that carton of ice cream, bag of chips, etc., take a deep breath and count to 100. Usually, by the time you stop counting you will have convinced yourself that you don't really need it.

15. Write a note to yourself listing all the reasons you are finally ready to lose weight. Keep this letter with you at all times, for inspiration.

16. You'll eat less on a black or navy blue plate.

17. Eat your sweets at breakfast

18. Track your triggers. Log them in a notebook, post them in your journal, whatever. This way youll know when a trigger is going to hit, and youll know in advance to keep yourself occupied during that time.

19. Sit up straight. You'll burn at least ten percent more calories sitting upright than reclining.

20. Always leave at least 3 hours between eating anything and going to sleep. If you eat before sleeping it can help you to put on weight, the 3 hours gives your body enough time to burn calories, which you wouldn't burn if you went to sleep.

21. Take a picture of yourself scantily clad, and every time you want to grab for the cake and cookies and ice-cream, just look at the picture (it could be nude but keep it hidden).

22. If you're in college, plan your schedule so that it spreads throughout the day. That way you won't have long gaps of time where you can pig out in your dorm.. Wont your friends be jealous when they gain the Freshman 15 and you havent?

23. Put your fork down in between bites at meal time.

24. Drink plenty of water, at least 8 glasses a day. This is an obvious one, but there are other reasons to due this, other than weight loss. Drinking water ensures that the kidneys are functioning properly. If you are not fully hydrated this means that the kidneys are not working to their full capacity and results are that the waste products are then dumped onto your liver, which is where the fat process actually occurs. Water actually speeds up your metabolism.

25. If you eat at night before you go to bed, make sure you lay on your left side. It makes the food go through your system faster and wont have as much time to suck fat out of the food. But remember that you shouldn't eat before you go to bed. It slows down your metabolism.

26. Remember, out of sight is out of mind. If there are goodies lying around on the counters or table, put them away and/or hide them. That way whenever you walk through the kitchen you won't be tempted.

27. Make vegetable soup with low cal veggies cut up in chunks. You can have a full bowl and feel full, but actually you havent eaten very many calories.

28. Eat breakfast! This gets your metabolism going.

29. Eat as slowly as you can. It takes your body around 30 minutes to realise it's full. Chew until the food dissolves in your mouth.

30. Eat in front of a mirror naked.

31. Count to 100 if you're having a craving. Hopefully it will go away.

32. Never eat past 7 pm.

33. Throw away the foods you think you'll binge on.

34. Carry a picture of your favourite trigger everywhere you go.

35. If you're binging, don't swallow the food, spit it out.

36. Eat your meals on smaller plates.

37. Pinch all your fat and see how disgusting it is and then you'll think that if you eat you'll just add more to it.

38. Obesity is disgusting. Remember that.

39. Thinspiration is your best friend. You think you've lost weight? Trust me you haven't. Just check out the models online and you'll realise that.

40. Live by the scales. It's right and you're FAT.

41. Watch what other people, especially fat people, eat and feel superior because they're feeding their bodies and getting fatter.

43. Eating in front of TV distracts you from your body's fullness signals, and you're more likely not to notice what you're eating. Do not do it.

When I was younger I was browsing on some 'Pro Ana' sites out of curiosity and because a classmate of mine was affected and the people there were celebrating anorexia like party! They were talking about anorexia as if it was an ensouled individual and 'your' best friend!











German authorities have banned some Pro Ana sites later and that was the right solution.
