Do you see too many anorexic looking young women when you are out in public?

Yeah, I've had an eating disorder for 6 years, i'm just now getting help/recovery. Some are just naturally thin, others are suffering from anorexia nervosa. They're in the grocery store because they're planning their daily ritual "binge and purge" session. It's such a chilling thought that people suffering from anorexia would actually compare themselves to other anorexics, it becomes an endless competition. Anorexia, like all eating disorders (the obesity epidemic as well) is the worst form of self torture in my opinion.

I can't remember where but I saw this picture of Nicole when she was a teenager and believe or not she was fat! I found this amusing because it was reported in people magazine that when she was asked if she had an eating disorder she commented that she didn't, she has been skinny all her life

I alwayz thought that they were too skinny and fake, but I guess since I'm a girl I guess my opinion didn't count cuz ppl would just think I'm jealous. I'd never want to be that skinny, I'm very happy the way I am, and there's nothin plastic about me :) and is it just me, or does it look more like they're stomping than walking....it's just ridiculous...you don't see people walking down the street like that lol.

I think yes, obesity is not very attractive for a young girls at least the first sight. Is believe that we woman have a natural reaction when choosing a man, between animals is normal that the female look for stronger and experience male to make babies, so is part of nature

Although that is rare, it does happen. There's something like 10 percent of all people with anorexia are male.  I am not exact on that number, but there are males with anorexia.

First of all, I'd show that it's OK to be normal or even slightly heavier. Whatever happened to "normal" not being good enough? Some people anymore are so thin, THAT doesn't look healthy either. I mean like anorexically thin

You know what that is ashamed cause you have women out here who's trying to be super models who have the looks but just don't have the sizes, and they go out and damn near kill their self by having a eating disorder (not eating, making their self throw up, etc....) but here it is they can make the ugliest person look fabulous but they can't slim a person down. this world is fucked up and I'm sorry to say it but it is. i know women who want to be models so mad that they go to the extreme but they never make it. i just disapprove on that because their making ppls out to be something that their not.

If the girls are skinny through being Anorexic....then i'm sorry but u wont find a pretty one!!!!!!!!!!!\nI don't believe u that  u need it 4 a project.....U are probably someone that thinks they r fat, and wants to find a quick route to being thin......well i'm sorry but that's the wrong way to go.....Kate Winslett has the perfect figure.. not to skinny but no wobbly bits on her either!!

No, it is not just you. You are right! Almost every supposedly "gorgeous" woman on tv is terribly thin. Some of them look just plain skeletal! Even the older "beauties", I mean "bitties" are sickingly thin to try look young. Look at old ass Farrah Fawcett! She's too old to be that skinny and she's always sitting Indian style like a young teen girl, giggling and tossing her hair. As we get older, we gain weight. Its for health reasons. Our bodies become more fragile as we get older and our organs need the extra cusion.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.i personally think some over weight chicks carry their weight well some dont.just because your fat or skinny dont mean your going to look good or bad.

This is a good question but what I think is that "pro-ana" girls are conciently trying to become anorexic and that's why I guess they are proud that they reached their goal ...\nI might be totaly wrong though but it's another form of self-abuse that they don't think is a psychological problem.\nThey like to have control over their own body and this is a way to proove to themselves that they have strong personnalities.\nBut it's very nice of you trying to help them though, don't take it personnaly I'm sure they didn't mean to offend you, they are just lost in their own world that's all !

I think it is strongly related to society and the way they portray what is a good looking person and what is not the way to look. THere are so many make over shows and weight loss shows that you feel fat regardless of how you actually look. I think overweight is not a good idea because of health reasons, but stick thin is not healthy either. When more men pay attention the the "big" girls ( I use this term loosely) then maybe society will change their views. Back in the 1800's it was popular to be heavier, look at their art. Perhaps we as a society will get back to that acceptance again.

I'm male and 46,  My weight is within healthly limits so my weight isn't the problem.  It's that I'm not in shape.  There is a huge problem with body image in the US.  If one is healthy and in shape.  Weight shouldn't matter.  It's come to the point where eating disorders are hitting younger and younger girls and just recently it's been reported that boys are now having the same body image problems.  Good topic!
