-- Posted by Everlongx at 2:39 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 I know that they have a serious problem that needs to be taken care of delicately... but how do they get into it anyway? Or not know that there's another way? Are they lazy? Uneducated? What do you think? -- Posted by mudonthetires14 at 2:40 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 it kinda just happens, usually because they want to lose weight or something i believe. -- Posted by Aliboo at 2:40 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 They are lost. -- Posted by MixedDelight at 2:40 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 They're sick. It's a sickness that usually requires hospitalization and therapy :/ -- Posted by LucidAssassin at 2:41 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 peer pressure pushing them to be skinny and getting them to go to great lengths to achieve it -- Posted by HiRyo at 2:41 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 They're mentally sick. Either someone bruised their emotional mentality to develop something like this or something else. -- Posted by Dannay at 2:41 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 i just think they are disgusting. -- Posted by x FENRIS x at 2:41 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 No, I think it's a combination of social, psychological and biological factors eg societies encouraging slimness, positive reinforcement from not eating, and a predisposition to them. -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 2:41 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Anorexics are the same as obese people. Lazy uneducated people. It is so EASY to eat healthy and work out. But they always complain, they whine but both do not do anything to be healthy. Obese and anorexics are full of excuses. Simple as that. -- Posted by Feminawesome at 2:42 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from MixedDelight at 2:40 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 They're sick.

It's an obsession. -- Posted by shibby2 at 2:42 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 the desire to be thin slowly outweighs everything else sometin=mes it starts with something like a parents divorce or even a comment made by a friend that you are fat and just slowly progresses into a full blown ed. -- Posted by decoyyydown at 2:43 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from MixedDelight at 2:40 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 They're sick.

Simple as that. Some aneroxics work out excessively so don't say they're lazy.  When ever they look in the mirror they see an obese person, theres a problem for them to communicate what their image is in their mind as to what it actually is in reality.  You're a small minded person who has never dealt with friends or family who have issues like these.  Yes it is possible to overcome these problems but you should support them instead of insult -- Posted by amiee at 2:48 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Quote: from latin muscle at 10:41 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 Anorexics are the same as obese people.   Lazy uneducated people.

Quite like yourself, then. You do realise that for a huge number of people with eating disorders, it's initially not about weight? Or it starts with eating healthy and working out and gets to the point where they physically can't control it anymore? They see something completely different when they look in the mirror than what we see? That it's a mental illness and not a choice? -- Posted by rozenmaiden101 at 2:57 pm on Dec. 2, 2008 don't know any better -- Posted by Radioactivv at 7:17 am on Dec. 3, 2008 They don't like the way they look or feel. -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 9:09 am on Dec. 3, 2008 many have experienced some kind of abuse in the past and that has many affects on someones thought processes. -- Posted by Leah Louise at 10:55 am on Dec. 3, 2008 MENTAL ILLNESS! -- Posted by austin s23 at 10:40 am on Dec. 10, 2008 stupid -- Posted by LoveKay at 10:44 am on Dec. 10, 2008 I don't think it's either of those. They're not stupid, and not uneducated. It's definitely their choice, but most times, it's usually not their choice to have an eating disorder. You dont just become anorexic overnight, and you dont decide to be anorexic. Girls just want to lose weight, and some go too far with it. -- Posted by x Jean Paul x at 5:45 am on Dec. 16, 2008 They are stupid -- Posted by cowgirlyehaa at 5:38 pm on Dec. 18, 2008 They are mental
