Why Do Some People Think It Is Acceptable To Encourage Eating Disorders

BB8 fans................Do you think Danielle has an eating disorder?

Yes she is on Slop but when she came into the house she was gaunt. Very, very thin. And if it is true about cameras adding weight to a person, than I am scared at how this she really IS.... When she does eat a meal, she disappears into the bathroom for a while. Do we think that she is purging? She barley eats the slop at all and they are allowed to add flavorings now to the slop, but she still barley touches it. I personally think that she might need help.

What do you think of pro ana/ pro eating disorder websites?

I have a lot to say on this matter. First, statistically the people on pro-eating disorder sites do not have eating disorders. They are trying to develop EDs. Trying to develop a mental illness is wrong, especially when these people think its all about losing weight. Losing weight is merely one of dozens of contributing factors towards EDs.
Second, these websites are horrible. The people on them claim to "have excepted EDs as a lifestyle, not a mental illness". That's not possible. And encouraging people to use incredibly dangerous behaviors is sick and twisted. It is not a community for people to bond, its a competitive community for people to help others hurt themselves. How sick would it be to have "pro-cutting" websites, "pro-depression" or "pro-suicide"? Well pro-ana and pro-mia is encouraging pretty much the same thing. They should be banned from the internet.

Could these be signs ...? (eating disorder)?

Anorexia, you are supposed to get 2000 calories a day. It is fine to drink water. What could this person be eating that is under 75 calories? Exercise is fine as long as it is not overdone. Someone like this is obviously not getting the nutrients that they need and it could turn into a severe problem. behavior like this is very dangerous. People focus too much on being extremely think now a days. If this is you talk to your parents, a doctor, a counselor or something please, i had a cousin die from anorexia. Put sayings on your mirror that say I am beautiful, I am Smart, I am perfect and start saying it to yourself everyday, eventually it may help you start building your self-esteem and confidence. If it is a friend say this stuff to her everyday, and I know no one ever wants to betray a friends trust but would you rather have them really sick and killing themselves or have them healthy. Its a serious problem and you need to tell someone, If it is you or a friend you won't be able to help them or yourself by yourself. A problem like this requires counseling and help. If it is a friend tell there parents immediately. Good Luck with this problem!

What is a good conclusion paragraph for eating disorders?

Here's my intro and body. They want 2-3 paragraphs long.

Many people do not know what an eating disorder is or what it can actually do to someone. Eating disorders are serious emotional and physical problems that can have life-threatening consequences for females and males. There are three main types of eating disorders, which are Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia, and Binge eating. Today I am going to tell you the symptoms, treatments, and prevention for eating disorders.

Some symptoms of Anorexia Nervosa are intense fear of gaining weight, refusal to maintain a healthy body weight, and a distorted body image. The symptoms of Bulimia are repeatedly eating large amounts of food in a short period of time (less than 2 hours), Feeling ashamed of overeating, and has frequent weight changes. Symptoms of Binge eating are almost the same as Bulimia, but the difference is Binge eating, you don’t try and throw it up. Some emotional symptoms of all of these are depression, anxiety, grief, and shame. Some treatments for all of these are medications, nutritional counseling, and individual, group, and/or family psychotherapy. How to prevent these eating disorders is don't allow anyone in the family to tease others about appearance, be happy with your appearance and don’t care what people think, and encourage healthy eating, not dieting.

How do guys feel about eating disorders?

So, I have this really good guy friend named Richard. Now personally, I am disgusted by eating disorders. But, he says that guys like women with eating disorders because it shows that they have discipline and self-control. He also says its not an eating disorder if you look good and are thin.

Now do all guys feel this way? This is so confusing.
