Blessed Are We With Anorexia- Thankfully, We Know Not What Is Bon Appetit

Yes! These are a special class of people that possess die hard attitude to lose weight. They suffer from anorexia but still have made the disorder, a movement, a cult and a lifestyle. They choose to remain anorexic and try all means to lose weight. They despise if we say they have an eating disorder, but would go fasting for any length of time and would do anything to own a thin-to-bones body. The class of people mostly comprise of females falling in the age group of 16 to 24; needless to say they would want to flaunt their ribs, all 24 if present. Anorexia or if we can say the ‘thinspiration syndrome’ has become an epidemic infesting the US girls and is rapidly spreading over Europe and the Asian countries as well.

The craze of being anorexic resulted in spawning of hundreds of pro anorexia sites wherein girls with anorexia seek solace; or can we say pool to cheer one other and stay proud. These sites offer pro anorexia tips such as asking people to increase their dependency for laxatives, salt water and other weight loss products as well. The sites are generating money from advertising several weight loss products and the girls with anorexia are robbed of their lives.

Noteworthy is that the parents of these anorexic populations are now forming into different forums where they discuss about the behavior of their girls with anorexia and trying to find a resolve to the same so they can put their girls back on to a healthy eating track. Anorexia is certainly curable but the desire to remain anorexic is very difficult to be treated.

You have the totally wrong idea of these websites.

First of all, most of them start on journal communities. These journal communities do not make any money, and in fact I would love to see these websites that do make money. If anything, the ads probably help to pay for the website and the bandwidth used by the website.

Now here’s my second point. Most of the girls on these communities are not anorexic and in fact have compulsive eating problems resulting in being overweight. They seem to have given up on all other “diets” and resort to what they believe is anorexia. This is because they do not realize that it is in fact a disease and not something they can just become. These websites do not even ALLOW tips to “become” an anorectic. Most of these girls are also not hardheaded and realize when a girl is sick. The few girls that actually have the disease anorexia are encouraged to get help.

So what you want to do by shutting down these websites is protect females suffering from anorexia… from other anorectics…

These websites provide a help to recover, if anything. I’m sure a lot of the thinspiration can be triggering but it’s nothing like seeing a stick thin girl walking down the street. The internet is confidential, unlike the real world. It provides an easier place for an anorectic to allow trust upon another person without worrying, “will they tell all of my friends.” It’s easier to communicate problems and concerns over the internet, even anonymously, because these girls know what it’s like to go through anorexia. They will understand and not give tips to lose weight, give tips to get better.

Yet another ignorant blog post on your part.
