my family and fiends kept telling me im anorexic but i didnt believe them and i finally went to the doctor out of hours surgery i only went to proove my family and friends wrong but he confirmed what they were all saying but i believe he is lyeing he as told me to book an appointment to be referred to get help but y should i when i dont think i have it just because i dont like eating and make up excuses so i dont have to eat and when people make me i either make myself bring it up or run to the toilet to spit it out dont make me anorexic im not going to tell my family that the doctor as confirmed it

I know this is all about the illness, and ways to recover, I am not anorexic, in fact I am overweight by about 30lbs. but I have this urge to be excessively thin.To be honest I actually find it sexually exciting. and get aroused by looking at these pictures. I don't feel revulsion. Am I starting on a slippery slope. cause all I want to do is find every site I can, and I wan't to find a site that will encourage me in my quest. I really wan't this. so please don't tell me I'm mad, I may not be thinking right by normal standards, but it's what I really want. anyone reading this who feels the same. please reply to my input. as I say it's what I want..but I need like minded people to converse with. it's lonely by oneself.

let me guess...this was written by some fat bitch who eats enough food at one meal to feed 3 of the starving children she's talking about!!!! You are ignorant

Sorry for the people. Treating the psychological disorders related to the illness; Reducing or eliminating behaviors or thoughts that originally led to the disordered eating. Feel good yourself. Thanks.

Anorexia is not a quest to be the most attractive or have the best body--maybe it is in the beginning, but by the time the disease fully sets in, it is all about being thinner and thinner, no matter how repulsive you appear to other people. Sorry for them suffering from this.

Most of the girls have complex to loose their weight. so its very dangerous for their health. It was a nice site representing the pictures of various stages of illness and everyone will come know the seriousness of it and will take care of their health. Thanks for sharing.

Very useful info. Hope to see more posts soon!

i just happen to stumble across this sight because i'm catching myself falling back into my old eating habits. when i was 19 i was anorexic, my parents caught on and got me help. it is now 18 years later and i am slowly falling back into that routine. i have been addicted to laxatives for that 18 years, but now im hiding my eating habits from my kids and husband (not eating habits i mean). when i look in the mirror i feel huge, but everyone says they love my body. i don't wanna do this again, but i can't seem to stop myself. i still make myself throw up if i feel full. thats been a tough one to hide. my daughter has always followed me to the bathroom after a meal now that she knows about my past problems. a week ago i weighed 137, i now weigh 124 and i'm 5'4. i need to beat this. these pics did scare me, but at the same time i was catching myself feeling jealous of them cuz they are skinny. i'm even catching myself workingout uncontrolably. i workout in the morning, before i go to bed and if i can't sleep i'll do crunches in the middle of the night. i think i need help, don't you? i don't know if i was suppose to write my whole life story, but i needed to hear myself say it.

They look ugly, sick they look like skulls and bones walking. Is not healthy, is not pretty. No wonder they are so skinny, just looking at them makes me want to vomit. Give them some food sdtat please!!! i feel sorry for them.19

Treatment for anorexia nervosa tries to address three main areas.Restoring the person to a healthy weight; Treating the psychological disorders related to the illness; Reducing or eliminating behaviours or thoughts that originally led to the disordered eating.I often use touch lamp for different purposes.Drug treatments, such as SSRI or other antidepressant medication, have not been found to be generally effective for either treating anorexia,or preventing relapse although it has also been noted that there is a lack of adequate research in this area.

Eating disorder can come from various sources, you might be too depressed and you starting eating at every instance or you are stressed out and think that by eating every time you feel stressed out it will make you feel better or you are emotionally drained out and thinking that eating something sweet will be a great way to suppress that bad feeling.

Residential treatment facility is one place where such children can receive special attention, they will be given education and their progress is monitored 24 x 7. Treatment for eating disorder varies from patient to patient and only upon successful diagnosis the course of treatment is decided.

I get pissed off and irritated when people judge eating disorders as a girl trying to loose weight because they want to be skinny. In many, many cases women that are sexually abused turn to eating and dieting as a way to try to control a part of their life that died. As well I think people should turn their attention to the super morbid obese epidemic that has plagued north america..... now that is truly disgusting

I'm am so sorry you girls (and guys) are going through this hell. I've just read Lucy's book - Biting Anorexia and it made me cry to think how unhappy you are. I hope one day you will believe you are all worth it. I don't know you but I don't want you to die of this disease.

THIS BRINGS BACK TERRIBLE MEMORIES. NO ONE GETS THAT THIS DISEASE CONTROLS YOU UNLESS THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED IT. YOU ARE NEVER HAPPY, EVEN THE THINNER YOU ARE THE CRAZIER YOU GET ABOUT EXCERCISING AND COUNTING CALORIES. IT IS ALL A HUGE TRAP. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE I STARTED IT WHEN I WAS 12 AND RECOVERED AT AGE 17. I WAS LUCKY. MY PARENTS GOT ME HELP FOR YEARS. I HATED THEM FOR IT. I JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO LEAVE ME ALONE, TO GO AWAY. THEIR IS SO MUCH PAIN INSIDE YOU. YOU HAVE TO GET HELP TO EXCEPT WHO YOU ARE. IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU WEIGH, THEIR IS MORE TO THIS. HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF IS THE KEY THING. BEING 5'10 AND A 100 LBS ISN'T BEAUTIFUL. THESE GUYS WRITING IN ON HERE SHOULD BE ASHAMED. HAVE YOU EVER LIVED WITH ANYONE WITH ANOREXIA? IT IS TERRIBLE TO WATCH SOMEONE YOU LOVE HURT THEMSELVES AND BE SO UNHAPPY DAY AFTER DAY. MIND YOU, THEIR PROBABLY ISN'T TO MUCH SEX GOING ON. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SKIN AND BONES TO BE ATTRACTIVE OR TO ACCEPT YOURSELF. FIND ANOTHER WAY. GIRLS, I KNOW YOU CAN. I DID. AND YES THEIR WAS TIME WHEN I COULD NEVER EVER SEE MYSELF ACCEPTING ANY OTHER WAY, BUT BEING ANA.

The girl in the Rainbow Brite outfit is one of my friends who does not have Anorexia. I've already let her know, so please remove it.

...shocking pictures!

who think that being this thin is a joke, or you think its "hot" or "trendy", believe me its not.
and to all the men or women on here who want to perv over these struggling girls. your the reason why more and more people are forcing themselves to look this way.
anorexia nervosa isn't something admirable, you lose your hair, potentially your sight, you get bed sores,you suffer mentally on a level i cant explain.
I had anorexia when i was 11, i was around 9st and went down to 4 and a half in 5 months. the pain and misery i put my family through i will never forget, and anyone who thinks this is a cool thing to go through, you really need to sort out your priorities.i lost weight again and turned to binging,gained too much weight and im now a healthy weight, but it doesnt stop it haunting me, as it does to many of the girls and boys suffering.

other people on here will understand how it feels to lose a friend to this illness, the sadness is nothing i can express, she will always be in my heart, and to anyone who needs help or advice or needs someone to tell them its okay, find someone, dont sit in silence, beauty is more than skin deep, and it tears me apart to think all these girls don't realise how beautiful they are on the inside.
once anorexia takes hold you have it for life, maybe not physically but mentally, these girls are asking for help, no one this thin is truly happy, and its because the media portray this as beautiful or modern or a way to make money, if beauty is the price of money then i'd rather be poor.

stay beautiful and true to yourself.

just discharged my self from hospital i hate what they have turned me into, does anyone have a recomended calorie intake to lose about a kg a week?they got me up to 40kg and im going crazy feel like i have no control left, really scared that i won't beable to be as strong as before and ill just get fat.

this post includes very serious matter. most of the girls have complex to loose their weight. so its very dangerous for their health. thanks Sam

I am very sad because of the many people that think this disease is a joke. Some of the comments I've read are horrible! I really can't believe people can be so heartless, crule and perverted. This is not a matter of being sexy or atractive. This is about living. These women/men are killing themselfs and don't even know it. This is about mothers, daughters, sons, uncle, aunts, grandmas, and other loved ones hurting themself and not knowing what they are truley doing. If you know someone that is suffering from this get them some help please before it is to late. SPEAK UP!!! This is no way to die. Enjoy life and don't let others judge who you are no matter what. Skinny, fat, shot, tall it really doesn't matter at all. Please, please consider getting help if you are suffering form this disease or know someone who is suffering from this ):!

Thanks for sharing the great interesting post. I liked it much, the nice work must go
on. Looking forward to more nice posts.

i sometimes look in the mirror and see only fat i feel like im ugly and i know i am. im 5"6' and i weigh 135 people tell me i look healthy but i constantly find myself compareing myself to more beautiful skinny women and for you guys who think its hot your fuckin sick and you obviously dont realise that these girls cant help the way they are. my mother was anorexic/bulimic. she went to two mental hospitals. she was 5" 11"ans weighed 63 pounds. for those of you who admire there willpower although it may look like they can help it, like they choose it they cant and they dont. they cant controll themselfs.im a drug addict i weighed 103 6 months ago. i thought i looked good but i didnt i looked dead.i just got out of rehab.i feel as good as can be. and to you parents dont underestimate your children it starts at every age i started everything when i was 9 i am now 15.i wish i could take alot of my life back. stay strong girls as well as boys. just remember you are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

looking at these pictures brings back some really horrible memories, i was anorexic for 3 years and looking back not a single good thing came from it. trying to think what i actually did in those 3 years is weird because i can hardly remember a day of it, i knew i was ill but never thought i was as bad as anyone else i just thought i was a bit skinny, but i was completely and utterly obsessed with food and calories and completely image obsessed, i thought it was normal and struggled to imagine what else other people might think about. there are pictures of me from when i was ill which i saw the other day and when i looked at myself i struggled not to be sick. Everyday was a routine, everything in my whole life revolved around food, infact it was my life. always thinking of ways to hide food and pretend to people i was fine and eating healthily always thinking of ways to decieve the doctos. but WHY?!?!?! still know even after being ill with anorexia and people ask me why i did it i dont actually have an answer. and that's what any sufferers out there need to ask themselves, what good is it actually doing? even though its a struggle to eat [i say a struggle, i mean one of the hardest battles you've ever fought] pushing your self to the absoloute limits until you want to cry and tear your hair out really is worth it, even if your not thinking normally inside looking normal is a step in the right direction, once your not classed as an anorexic its easier for you not to be one, it takes A LOT of time to recover and start thinking normally again, even now a few years after recovering i still have some anorexic thoughts but they don't get in the way of my life im able to live happily and healthily and think NORMALLY.
im going to be blunt.
anorexics are not attractive, your ugly and scary to look at, when people stare its not because they're jealous, they're staring in the same way people stare at disabled people, its because they're frightened.
dont you just want to live your life?
what are achieving? right your skeletal, great, what else? weigh up the good things about being ill and the good things about being healthy and i think you'll have an answer to is it worth it?

im so sorry to all of you who are still struggling out there, i wish you all the best and hope you get better soon ♥

i am just under 6ft and weigh 85lbs. i have been at this weight for the past 2 years, but have had anorexia/bulimia for about 20 years. I am now 29 and completely alone. I went from anorexic to full blown bulimic and have only my small dog as support. Last year I lost all my teeth (some i pulled out on my own) and was forced to pay $47,000.00 for dental implants. the surgery was not covered by any insurance as it was considered cosmetic. NOw, instead of focusing on taking care of my self and finding help, I have to work two jobs to pay of the loan...i don't think that I can hold on for much longer. the only thing that keeps me alive is my dog, who wakes me up every morning after I stay up until about 3am each day purging!\\help

unbelieveably i used to be that thin but now ive gone over the top and become that fat person everyone tries not to look at.the main point is trying to find the balance becausew fat or thin like this you will kill yourself and think of your friends and family.if you need help say something.i know its hard i have been both anorexic and bulemic.i nearly died at 5ft6 and only 5st.now im overweight at 14 st but at least im not on drips and im working to lose some weight.listen to me people...anorexics and bulemics you need to lose control of what you are eating and enjoy the taste of a good balanced meal.good luck.xxx
