man's wanna be thin?
www.geocities.com/tjmariani/Thin.html

conclusion

through diz assignment, i realise a billions of young people mostly gurls trying to get themselves to get themselves to dat sort of "perfection", in fact da perfection in mah view is "abnormal unhealthy skinny", young girls need to see real women themeselves in print ads or on tv? is this wut their thought of beauty is? just by searhcing for"pro-ana" sites, thousands of them show up, this cud be the curisous or this cud be you wiv an or trying to get an eating disorder, sum of them even pround of themselves hvin' anorexia. ironicly i also found tips on how to survive on a dangerously low body weight.

Both [thinspirations] and [perfection] it is a vy concerning title because that is saying"come and be thin, nutfink taste betta than thin" and that's goin' to be a big lure for gurls nah even finkin' about falling into the trap of having eating disorder, which is a disease.

It's absurd to diet wiv gettin' an eating disorder, is totally insane. y wud the gurls have diz ideas?

spending all this time and energy trying to "be anorexic" and they will still it anyway and hating themselves all the tym? what for? y wud they wanna be sumfink that might kill themselves, love making themselves suffer?

v r unique y cant juz be ourselves, eutever body image or sizes u hv got but learn to love who u r, dun hv to be sumfink that will actually harm yarself.

pround to be anorexic? http://jaoii.lunarpages.com/articles/art13.html

y nah hvin' a positive attitude lyk them?y cant they just feel great about themselves no matter what they weigh or look like.women have surrendered to diets and insane eating habits to live up to social stereotypes for 2 long. look at the women in the pictures they are very positive, happy and real.Through out the assignment, it made me thoughts a lot body image and diet is a vy concerning issue, people who get eating disorder from diet, its been raised and growning, people who die from anorexia and bulimic have raised aga, c how ironic it is http://www.geocities.com/melgsunshine/newind.html, those gurls wan themselves to be more perfect, eventho they achieved their goal but they just dun hv ta tym to enjoy their beauty.

Older models are the 'newest' fashion trend

Twiggy, second from left, featured in the Marks and Spencer campaign last September at age 57, and had a positive imact on the company's profits.

It seems that models previously deemed 'too old' for the fickle industry of fashion photography are the new hot item, with demand for middle-aged models far outstripping supply.The demand for mature models has increased 30-40% over the last three years and is continuing to rise. One of the first campaigns notable for it's use of older models was Dove's 'Real Beauty' campaign, using 95-year-old Irene Sinclair and asking the question 'Wrinkled or Wonderful?'. The campaign also featured 45-year-old Merlin Glozier with the accompanying question 'Grey or Gorgeous?'.

Couture fashion houses are also starting to recognise maturity in women as something to be celebrated. With 48-year-old Sharon Stone being unveiled as the new face of Christian Dior, Prada using 52-year-old Kim Basinger to promote her miu miu label, and Versace using Madonna,47, in their campaign last year.

Elaine Dugas, a director at London's Models 1, says the resurgence of mature models is because 'visually people want to see something that is realistic'. And while all the models used are still very aspirational for their age, surely the industry move toward recognising maturity in women is a positive change? It is more likely, that as opposed to being a feel good exercise by the fashion industry it is an economic strategy, as companies acknowledge the realities of an ageing population, and the high levels of disposable income that middle-aged women now have searching the market for luxury goods. Women are sick of seeing 15-year old girls advertising anti-wrinkle creams it seems.

.statistic.

this statistic shows the times of diets in the past 5 years, where i found it in http://www.womhealth.org.au/; most people had diet b4, and it seems the issue of diet has raise people had eating disorder b4 or while in the process of diet, nearly most of the adolecent are dieting themselves.

In fact, why they are doing this even tho they are skinny enough?why they wanna be abnormal skinny?how good is it? showing those ribs and bones, is sexy?making themselves suffer, nah eatting stavring themselves, purging themselves?self- harming themselves, doing all this to make themselves looks good? and ended up hving anorexia, bulimic, binge eating, some of them even killed themselves with out knowing.

In a survey released last week by tescodiets.com, 19 out of 20 British women say they would prefer a smaller waist than a genius-level IQ. The wish list of the average British women (in order) was a slimmer figure, bigger bank balance followed by dinner with an A-list star of her choice, with increased intelligence being way down the list.This all raises the question, has feminism freed us from anxiety over appearance, as it was once supposed it would?

As we sit watching UK Celebrity Big Brother, in which most of the women chosen has very low IQ's, but were all busty, and knew how to flirt their way to the top, have we decided to give up on brains and return to the beauty game? These were all issues raised by Rowan Pelling in The Independent, who was brought up in the midst of feminism, reading The Female Eunch, Fear of Flying, Fat is a Feminist Issue and Fay Weldon novels, and goes so far as to say she despises her own sex for being so superficial. It is a point of concern for New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd also, who writes about the rise of the cosmetics industry in her new book 'Are Men Necessary?' ''There was a time, long ago and far away. when women didn't only talk about skin. They talked about books, plays and politics.'' She comes to the conclusion that ''Feminism has been defeated by narcissism.''

'Beauty or intelligence? It's a no brainer'

[Vomiting]

flusing your life down the drain? is it wut u wan?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

wutz happened wiv her?

not clear?wan a enlarged picture?>>>http://x2b.xanga.com/a6dc82f52163352489513/z5644048.jpg<<<<

She was 19 and had anorexia and bulimia for 5 years. Died at 5'1" (155cm) and 94lbs (43kg) after her stomach ripped after eating 5.6liters of food.

Case notes:

She was in full rigor mortis - which is present from 12-72hours. The bruises set the timeframe at around 8+ hours. Her eyes had clouded, which happens at progressively from about 2-4 hours on. If you look really closely at her stomach you can see a greenish tint, which a typical sign of her internal organs decaying - called livor mortis. I think this process may have been accelarated as her insides were digested since it normally takes a few days to set in.

The bruises called for the autopsy. Because of her position when her stomach exploded it spilled all it's contents into her body cavity. The blood and food settled around her anus and vagina and caused what were looked like "fresh bruises." So to rule out sexual stuff, they had to autopsy.

When they did the autopsy they found that her stomach had been extended from where your ribs meet each other all the way to her pubic bone, right behind that pad of fat above the gentials (mons pubis). And her stomach had a large rip in it

She also had some other abnormalities going on. Her heart was small and displayed typical charateristics of a starving heart - destroyed muscles and dead immune cells (lipofusin bodies). Her brain had swelled, my guess due to the massive increase in blood flow after her stomach ruptured - it had started to squeeze out her skull before she died. She also had evidence of focal pnuemonia in her lungs - not really suprising as starvation hurts the immune response to viruses.

Like a typical binger her stomach was dying before it ripped. What I mean is that every time we binge our stomachs expand, if they expand far enough the vessels supplying them blood are crushed - cutting off the blood supply to that area, killing the tissue. That area is weakened and the next binge of that caliber becomes more dangerous. Purging just adds fuel to the fire by increasing stomach pressure above and beyond the natural level.

But believe it or not the ruptured stomach didn't kill her. A natural reaction did. When the stomach exploded her body responded with a typical immune reaction. It dilated her blood vessels, her blood pressure dropped, she blacked out, and her heart slowed down and stopped.

[many of them dies while in process of purging]


it is awful.lots of bulimic are found unconcious and dead right next to the toilet bowl...argh*

dying to be thin II

But all this begs the question:
why? Why are women so obsessed with physical beauty?
Why would women go to such extremes to be beautiful as culturally defined?
Why aren't we pleased with "normal"?
The answer is simple and sobering: our hearts are full of evil desires and sinful lusts. And to differing degrees our heart have believed the lie that physical beauty will bring satisfaction and recognition. You know the false promises: If you're beautiful, you will be happy and successful. You will be popular among women, you will be desirable to men. You will know lasting intimacy and true love. You will be confident and secure. You will be important and significant.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to
her heart, the place where love resides.
True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.
by Audrey Hepburn



is it really good of being abnormal skinny?

ABSURD

rules for ana? (ll it be help?)

x Look in the mirror tell yourself you are fat.
x Don't believe what others say about you.
x Look at pictures of skinny girls daily and become like them.
x Don't think or eat food at all. Food makes you fat. Any food makes you fat.
x Drink as much water as you can. If you feel like you are going to exploid, drink more.
x Go to the mall and try on clothes two sizes two small for you so you will be modivated to not eat and to fit into them.
x Don't cry. All crying does is show you dont have self-control.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are youlooking for ways to "become" anorexic or bulimic? Before you continue on this road, and consider "getting" an ed, ask yourself some questions:

-Do you want to wake up every day for the rest of your life hating yourself and wishing that you didn't exist?
-Do you want to cry, every time you step on the scale, because it's never enough, even when you're losing?
-Do you want to stand in front of a mirror, vainly trying to see what other people see, and not see it, and cry, because you don't know what's happened to you anymore?
-Do you want to feel like you're killing yourself, but feel powerless to stop it?
-Do you want to reach the point where you know you're killing yourself, and don't care anymore?
-Do you want to throw up blood, stare at it, and keep throwing up, even though blood is a bad sign, because you simply don't care anymore?
-Do you want to sit, crying, in the hallway of your home, because you know you didn't get everything up, even though all you've tasted for the past half-hour is stomach bile?
-Do you want to ruin your teeth?-Do you want to contemplate suicide every day because you've grown to hate who you are more than you've ever hated anything else in your life?
-Do you want to feel all of your dreams crumbling around you, because you've handed everything over in your life to some blank, bitter driving force?
-Do you want to come to the horrible realization that your control is controlling you?
-Do you want to look back, after years, and think, "what have I done with my life?"only to realize that the answer is nothing?
-Do you want months of your life to disappear into oblivions of weight and exercise?

To look back and remember nothing else?
-Do you want everything that you ever cared for to disappear?
-Do you want to die?

If you can answer yes to every one of these questions, than an eating disorder is the thing for you.

argh*sounds weird




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bulimia/Anorexia is not pretty. It is not fun. It makes you weak. It makes you exhausted. You eat until your stomach feels like it is going to explode. You throw up, bits of your vomit smacking you in your face. You do your best to hide your illness. You have red marks across your knuckles from when you shove your fingers down your throat and they scrape against your teeth. Or maybe your stomach is so used to regurgitating that you spontaneously vomit when you bend over. You are pale. You are shaky. You find it hard to breathe. You are constipated. You retain water like the hoover dam. You starve for a day. The next day, you eat all of the food in the house. You feel guilty. You feel ashamed.You make yourself vomit. Your heart skips a few beats. You feel faint. You overexercise. You become dehydrated. You retain more water. You pass out. You abuse laxatives. Your tooth enamel gets eaten away by stomach acid. Your cheeks are puffy from swollen glands, which only convinces you even more that you are fat. Maybe you lose some weight. Maybe you are bulimiarexic and you lose a lot of weight. Maybe you b/p so often that you GAIN weight, which is not uncommon. Your self worth is totally determined by the number on the scale instead of who you are on the inside. You feel trapped. This may make you suicidal. The serotonin levels in your brain get messed up from your frequent vomiting, often attributing to violent mood swings You would rather be dead than fat.

is alreadi been told, but why they r still doing this?what's their intention?they r proud of being anorexia and they think is a lifestyle.they just wanna b thin no matter how

Story from a Model

Carre Otis. As a top fashion model, Carre Otis made her living on looking thin and beautiful. But now she is sharing the ugly truth about the weight-loss strategies she subjected herself to and the dire health consequences that resulted.

She had been on this insane diet for almost 17 years to maintain the weight that was demanded of me when I was modeling,?Otis says. the diet was really starvation. I am not naturally that thin so I had to go through everything from using drugs to diet pills to laxatives to fasting. Those were my main ways of controlling my weight.
But these strategies ultimately backfired four years ago.
I had my first seizure and I had to go in for heart surgery,says Otis, who at 50 occasionally weighed as little as 100 pounds. My doctor felt that the main contributing factor was so many years of malnutrition, especially during my formative years even before I got into modeling.

The starvation weakened my heart Otis adds. Many women who have anorexia put their hearts in a compromised situation. it not unusual for women with anorexia to suffer heart attacks. I had also taken something called ipecac -- which is a syrup that makes you throw up;I took it when I was young as my way to control my eating. It's been shown to bore holes in the heart. As a result I needed a minimally-invasive procedure that cauterized three holes in my heart had it been a few years earlier they would have had to open my chest.

Because of her experience, Otis is passionate about helping other people with eating disorders like anorexia nervosa (AN) -- an eating disorder characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss.

[dying to be thin]

recently, i have watched a film [dying to be thin]which make me thought a lot and understanding different factor will cause into the issue of being anorexia. The film shows people abnormally thin, wiv eating disorder, anorexia and bulimia; why is that and how they recover. Inside the film, it shows real stories from people, how people control their weight.

--------------------------------

for those who called themselves a [pro-ana].

poetry from a pro-ana

"My wrists are nothing but bone and skin.
my arms long and lean.
Only a little bit left, only a little more to go.
my legs are thin and weak, only a little more, a little bit more to whittle away.
Self destruction can be such a beautiful thing. cheek bones, chiseled and aware,
The sheathing giving away and disappearing to show the beautiful structure underneath"



"In the body, as in sculpture, perfection is attained not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

"Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

One moment on the lips ... forever on the hips.

The thinner the winner! "

DEATH:

Since when bones are beautiful?


There were so many people choosing this sort of lifestyle and end up die quietly, or die while in the process of purging.

These people have diesed due to their eating disorder, anorexia, some in their sleep from sudden cardiac arrest.Many have been found unconcious next to the toilet bowl.
