There are sites on the internet that actually encourage bulemia and anorexia. I found this one site a17 girl has set up giving tips and tricks to not eating and how to purge.

Fair enough if you have the disease. But there's no need to share it with the rest of the world. This is her blurb in the "about me" section:

I am 17 years old, I weigh 130 and I am 5'5" or 5'6". My goal weight is 111, but now that I am in recovery (not really) I will mostly only gain weight, because my Mom is not allowing me to purge, what she doesn't know is that I have been purging this week.

Does she realise how pathetic she sounds?
Stupid little girl. Bulemia is nothing to be proud of.

Its the internet they can write whatever the fuck the want, and just because you don't personally do it, or would never do it, does not mean it is wrong. It is just a lifestyle choice you choose not to make.

Eating disorders- Not a life style choice
They are part of a mental illness, people with Eating disorders are sick, they may not appear to be, they may not be physically sick, but they are or are slowly making them selves sick, slowly breaking down their bodies

and that is the sad thing about the internet
it is a free for all

Yea I ahve come across these sites before.
I was a member of a few, doing all their group fasts, telling each other what foods are the best to do it with, how to hide it, posting progress pics and 'thinspo'

I no longer do it
and the very idea of these sites disgust me

Somean really help eating disordered people.
It gives them support about what they're doing.

it makes me sick when people do this too, but there are so many of them out there.
eating disorders are hell, and to encourage people to starve or purge is disgusting.

Bulimia*

And It is bad but nothings gonna change people doing it.


I know. But it just pisses me off that she obviously thinks she's cool for doing it. My friend's friend died from not eating. She just got so skinny that her body gave up. And I know that "friend's friend" shouldn't really affect me, but it affected my friend really badly. and I had to watch what it did to her.

Yeah that is pathetic. But if she wants to puke her fucking guts out all the time who gives a fuck? Her choice.
