obesity scares me more

No, I think now standards are rising.
Anorexia is at an all time high in America. Body image is becoming more and more important.

Both.

Obesity, because I'm closer to being it than anorexic. But being scared for other people, anorexic, i guess, because it seems more deadly.

Anorexia, it just looks way worse.

Nothing scares me


-- Posted by Scarlet Tears at 2:29 am on Sep. 4, 2008

ANorexia doesnt scare me at all
Obesity scares me a hell lot

Maybe I'm just blessed with not giving a fuck what others look like.


-- Posted by Googoie at 3:07 am on Sep. 4, 2008

I'd have to agree.

Anorexia. Symptomatic of OCD, you can never be thin enough. At least with obesity you can help yourself more.

anorexia

Anorexia, its a disease and mental disorder. Generally obesity can be overcome easier.

obesity

obesity scares me more... mostly because I am afraid of becoming obese again... society pressures people to look a certain way... its all a bunch of bull shit but I can't get over it.


-- Posted by breakapart at 7:20 pm on Sep. 4, 2008

obesity is disgusting and is MUCH more of epidemic than anorexia.  People need to stop being so fat.

What's this then?

fat is scarier than bone


-- Posted by Sachacohen2 at 8:05 am on Sep. 5, 2008

Anorexia, cause its all in the head. And even when they're near to dying they still think they're fat , now that is scary.


-- Posted by Miss Prophetess at 9:32 pm on Sep. 6, 2008

I can't pick.

Both frighten me equally.


-- Posted by sadnessness at 2:34 pm on Sep. 7, 2008

i think both are approached in different ways, and i would much rather be anorexic than obese, based purely on the way id be treated.

fat people generally get looked at with disgust like they eat all the time, are really greedy, and all that stuff.
Anorexics are looked at more with sympathy, and people know that they have issues so are more careful around them.

also, both are actually very different and the underlying causes are normally very different.

persoinally, i find obesity more scary, cos nobody is doing anything about it!


-- Posted by LittleBombs at 3:08 pm on Sep. 7, 2008

Anorexia is scary. Not even just being skinny, but pure bones and skin.


-- Posted by chelseamorgan at 3:25 pm on Sep. 7, 2008

Obesity, definatley.

Obesity


-- Posted by 0h h3ll n0 at 9:46 am on Sep. 18, 2008

Both scare me but I voted anorexia...

It depends what you mean by obesity though. If you're talking about people that are like 300lbs, 400lbs etc..they just disgust me. I don't understand how anyone could get that fat.
