it's bad to be anorexic because your turning yourself off literally.\n\nDangers\nAnorexia has the highest death rate of any psychiatric illness. Starvation can cause major organs to shut down. A heart attack is one of the most common causes of death in those suffering with an eating disorder. People can die from eating disorders at any body weight.\n\nOsteoporosis is another danger of anorexia. Low calcium intake is only part of the problem. Even in those who take in adequate calcium through food or supplements, amenorrhea prevents the body from absorbing it fully.\n\nSince depression accompanies anorexia, suicide is also a risk factor. Approximately 25% of all anorexics attempt suicide, and about 50% of anorexic deaths result from suicide.

Others are wrong when they say you either are or aren't anorexic. There is an inbetween. I started out with a mild case of anoexia and it grew tremendously. Be careful, dear. If you even have thoughts about yourself being anorexic, you probably are. Please, get some help now. Anorexia will most likely be a struggle for your entire life if you don't nip it in the bud. Good luck and stay healthy. I will be thinking about you.

Okay.....I'm not a guy but I was tempted to answer this question. Just wanted to tell ya you're beautiful in your own way. Just because you suffer from a medical condition doesn't make you any less beautiful than you are. You're fine and you shouldn't worry about it. Let a man appreciate you for YOU and not your body. Oh and to answer your question, I've asked this question to my guy friends many times, not that I'm overweight or anything but just out of curiosity. And they said, they would rather prefer meat over bones. I hope I've answered your question.

Hey, don't try so hard to find a guy.  And no matter what weight you are, you are beautiful.  Believe that, no matter what!  You don't have to be skinny to be beautiful.  I mean, I think Queen Latifah is gorgeous and Nicole Richie is...well, never mind.  Just be your fun, sparkling self.  Hang out with friends and family.  People who make you feel good.  Eventually, a man will see that you don't need a man to make you feel good about yourself and will love both your outer and inner package.  And those are the ones worth having.  But those guys take time to find.  And all girls have a hard time finding that.  Even the skinny ones.

Please stop yourself before you make any serious, life-altering decisions. Once you develop an eating disorder, it is likely that you will struggle with it the rest of your life. I am on the road to recovering from anorexia. Believe me, it is not as glamorous as you may think. I am 5'5 and at my worst I was 76 pounds. It is an absolutely horrible thing to endure. Please, e-mail me if you need someone to talk to. sophiebear2002@yahoo.com

Anorexia doesn't happen to normal well-rounded people.  It usually happens to girls between the ages of 16 and 18.  It stems from self-hatred and believe it or not, it's a control issue.  The person loathes themselves for being fat or unloved by others and they feel like they have no control over things in their lives.  I had anorexia when I was between 16 and 18.  I hardly ate anything for 2 years!  I hated myself because I had a terrible alcoholic father that resented having us kids because he couldn't take all his money and gamble with it.  He had to support us.  I think it was my way of getting back at him and being liked by my peers all at the same time.  Don't be afraid to diet.  If you have normal feelings about yourself and have some control in your life, you'll be fine.

it may be something other than anorexia. if you were anorexic you would be obssessed with being thin, and not eating on purpose. maybe you should talk to a doctor about it.

Your biggest problem is your self image. You need to learn that you have plenty of great qualities and boost your self esteem instead of reducing yourself to your own negative perception of your appearance. The guys you really want to know could care less that you are a little overweight. It's what's inside that counts. Smile ;0)

I find it EXTREMELLY attractive... If you lose it, you'll probably end up looking like a sick anorexic!

They will ask you lots of questions and look at you and probably feel around, but remember as annoying as it may be they are trying to help you. I have a friend that was anorexic and she has several internal health problems now. It is a very serious illness, and I hope you overcome it. Good luck, and stay strong, you can do it.

... why are people seriously giving you tips on losing weight? even if it is through healthy means, you don't need tips on losing weight.\n\nand the fact that you were anorexic isn't even the main reason that i say that.. i say that because you are a perfect weight for your height and DO NOT need to lose weight!

Sure, You still need to excersize and eat right...just tone up what you have..I know lots of girls that are "thick" but they are still sexy.

I think it's perfect. :) Your body fat is normal and plus I heard that electric scales are wrong AND the fact that our bodies gain body fat when we are about to start our period. Don't quote me on that though. :) But it's a good thing that you are trying to be healthier. Skinny doesn't always mean healthy, remember that.

Are you serious? That kind of mentality has NEVER worked out. Be yourself. I know it's a cliche but it's so true. If you wanna lose weight, do it because of you, not trying to please a man. What happens if you can't? Will he accept you then? Will you accept yourself? Will you do something drastic to lose the weight? I hope not.

No, it's not funny what-so-ever. Who are they to judge who's heavy and not? Saying hurtful rude comments about someone's appearance, personal opinions, or lifestyles are the things that increase anorexia, bulemia, and suicidal attempts. Reading this you may think i'm being hypocritical, and I probably am because I have made fun of all different kinds of people. However, I am not proud of it, I regret it, and I believe that is another serious problem within our communities. Why is it that fat women are hideous and disgusting, but heavy men are perfectly acceptable? Look at these comedians...I don't even consider it a real job. Going to school to learn better ways to tease and make fun of other's.....that's sure something to write home about. The thing is heavy women need to realize that you need to try your absolute hardest to ignore it, and live the life you are in for who you are. Each person in this world gets made fun of whether they know it or not, nobody is perfect. But you are the only one who has control over who you chose to listen to and ignore. I think it takes a lot of determination to lose all of that weight, and personally I think you should lose weight for the longer lasting life, not the appearance. Obviously you're going to feel self concious, but it's your choice whether you want to pretend it doesn't bother you or take action and try and lose the weight. I support so many people in doing that, talk to a doctor for help, join a support group....but don't let other's comments bring you down.

I felt a little guilty reading this. You are right. We say that we just want a good man, but we look at the abs too. I am short and have a lot of boobs and junk in the trunk, but no junk anywhere else, so thank you for giving me and other women like me respect. I am not fat (fab abs.. gotta brag a little work hard at them) but educated, but I do see your point. (@blonde coley) For all the trash that you just talked, honey you better be a perfect dime peice. To talk that much trash, you need to make at least 100,000 a year, have a PhD. and be the most desireable thing that ever walked the earth. My guess is that you probally are not. I wonder how many heads that you turn at the beach..What makes me sick is when an inadequate person tries to find fault in others. You have to be lacking to be so angry. Before you say that I must be heavy, no baby, I have DD with a 25" waist and booty, but I am confident enough in myself to not have to put someone down to feel better about myself. I have a feeling that you are the skinny, pale guy at the beach that have his shorts pulled up really high in the front, with the swim flippers on.(or the girl that looks like the skinny pale guy)
