Anorexia and bulimia are not diseases you can prepare for. When it hits a person, it hits hard. Especially in today's society when walking skeletons are designated as "attractive". Society has warped the nation’s mind on how a person must look in order to be "pretty" or "popular". From Cosmo-Girl to Seventeen people are putting labels on girls and how they should look. Who's hot and who's not. These articles in magazines are putting up a bar for men and women to meet in physical attraction, that maybe because of DNA or the desire to stay healthy cannot be met.

Those were not even close to half of the negative affects caused by these eating disorders. There are more damaging, revolting, emotional, and physical results that come with having an eating disorder. If people didn't live off of fast food and junk food, like potato chips and soda, that would cut down American obesity to the point where the people wouldn't feel they have to resort to emotional and physical suicide.

It seems to me that there are now more pro anorexic (pro-ana) websites now then there are help websites. That's probably why anorexia in men has gone up ten percent and thirty-five percent in women. It's completely disgusting! People want to support the destruction of other people's lives!
On these nauseating websites, you can find tips on how to keep people from becoming suspicious, how to keep yourself from being hungry, and "thin aspiration" pictures which are photos of anorexic and bulimic models used to make you feel fat and not want to eat.

I also found hundreds of atrocious quotes like "Say it now, say it loud, I'm anorexic and I'm proud!" and “Food is a hindrance to your success”. I mean, come on! How awful is that? You need food to live! The pictures I saw of some of those anorexics and bulimics were just sad, and I almost cried.
I can honestly say that those websites are twisted to try to make other people miserable and pull them into feeling like they're living in such a hopeless existence. The life of a bulimic or anorixic person is lonely and depressing.

I would go weeks without talking to people, because I felt so disgusting and didn't feel that I was worthy to have my voice heard. I think that the psychological damages are more disturbing then the physical damages. People like this are less happy, not more happy, to be alive.
Remember, it is all in your head! Eating disorders are not a choice, they are a disease, and if you do not get professional help then you and the people you influence could die a slow demise. Death by starvation is not the best way to go.
