Thought help: Is anorexia all that bad? - Help.com

If you are truly at a healthy weight and still think you are too fat, then it wont matter if you become anorexic, you will still hate how you look. People with serious eating disorders are never happy with their weight no matter how skinny they get, so they keep getting skinnier and unhealthier until they lose fat and muscle and they do a lot of damage to their bodies. It would be better for you to work on your self esteem and figure out why it is so important to you to be so incredibally skinny.

i think, if you want to loose weight dont do it by cutting out meals, cut down your meals - eat healthier - join a gym! plus if you stop eating all together, then start eating again, your just gonna put the weight on even more! so yes in my opinon Anerexia is all that bad, dont go down that road x

People DIE from anorexia how can you think about it so flippantly. You need to seek help if you are thinking of starving yourself. Stay healty and stop watching all those size Zero models. Thay all look ill.

there all right, anorexia it a terrible thing, nobody should ever have to go through it, NOBODY! if u really think your fat, there are plenty of ways to loose weight then going that far! go see a doc n then decide if u really need to loose weight, you might just be suprised, and have you ever thought ur friend are right? u might think there only trying to make u feel better, but i no there telling the truth.

anrexia is when you have such bad self esteem that you starve yourself. i am glad you are doubting yourself and if this is wrong because you make it sound wrong. you are thirteen and probably getting curves. you should not ever compare yourself to your friends. they are differnt and not you! they can say you are not fat but only you can decide what you believe. i wanted to stay a size 0 for the rest of my life but i have accepted that my body won’t fit it that. be comfortable with who you are and focus on the good parts of your body. i you always get complaments on your eyes then play them up with eyeshadow. if you ahve beautiful hair let it run free in the wind. be yourself and you will be surprised how much more happier you are. love who you are and dwell in the moment of perfectness.

let your self g[l]o[w]…

You don’t know it, but right now you are standing on a cliff.
Your life WILL drastically change depending on how to choose to cope with your body image concerns.
I wish SO BADLY that I could shake you right now. Take you by your shoulders and shake the HELL out of you, because you are about to ruin your life.
Listen, about two years ago, I was in your position. I was never overweight, but I certainly thought I was. So I dieted. But honestly, no matter how much weight I lost I was never satisfied. I was perpetually five pounds from perfection. Long story short: I developed an eating disorder.
Hands down, anorexia is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. If there was ONE thing I could change about myself– if there was ONE thing I could undo- I would cure myself of anorexia.

Anorexia isolates you from others. It consumes your life. It robs you of your health, both mental and physical. Nothing is worth enduring anorexia. Nothing.

So please, get physically active, play hockey join a sport. Get a hobby. Don’t even think about anorexia. It’s not a weight loss plan, it’s slow suicide.
