So are people complaining that it takes a celebrity to bring attention to an illness, or conversely, are they thanking celebrities for bringing it to the forefront?

 

naww, her face is too broad.... she looka like a man

now eliza dushku. yes.

 

well I was complaining that it seems like a big deal with celebraties, its almost a fashion statement and kylie probably had much better treatment than the average Jodie, but it was on the front pages for weeks

but then there are people like Kate Moss who get destroyed for doing a few lines of cocaine..."fame is a double edge sword" I doubt I made that saying up.

 

People in the public eye should know better than to do drugs in a place where they can be photographed.

They live under a microscope. Yes, it does add a lot of pressure to their lives. But it's not like they don't ask for it.

And they are amply rewarded for it also.

 

I hope Kate Moss kicks your ass for saying that.

 

kate moss?? you kidding me??? the flap of a butterly's wings would cause her to fall over.....

 

Hey I'll go for the longshot, Kate Moss over this manorexic poster..what odds would you give me?

 

I would so burn her to smithereens!

 

its godzilla!!!!!!!!!!

 

nite all, enjoyed the debate

Thanks for the conversion. That 31 bucks is mines!!!

 

alrighty well first of all I know alot about the subject considering I'm dealing with one at this very moment.. I'm doing a hell of alot better but still struggling.. I've talk to sooooooo many girls.. I've been on soooooo many websites.. all I'm saying is that it is NOT just about weight and if you had one you'd know that.. and since everyone on here is acting as if the subject is sooo foreign to them I fiqured no one here has had one.. you can kinda tell when someone has by the way they talk about it... most people arn't rude as fuck...

 

maaaaaaaaan,
if you could somehow mold them together as one person,
they'd still be skinnier then me.
and i think thats sad
for them.

 

my aunt had an eating disorder.. I dont like talking about it much but greengoddess is right about it being a disease and when they look in the mirror they will see themselves as being fat no matter how skinny they really are. Its sad seeing someone suffer from an eating disorder, no matter how much people think its under that persons control, its not at all...

 

thank you soooo much shroomy... I love you!!

finally someone knows what the hell I'm talking about...

 

hehe thanks

I dont think people (and posters in this thread i am not really talking about you so dont assume that I am, Im talking about people in general) realize thats its deeper then just not liking the way you look. When my aunt was in the hospital I could over hear some of the nurses saying some things like, "why doesnt she just eat something" "does she not have a mirror at home" It really bothered me how people didnt understand that it was a control issue as well, and not only did she not like herself on the outside, but hated herself more on the inside... It goes much deeper then someone just wanting to be thin, much much deeper.. It's not so easy for someone with an eating disorder to stop, no matter what you tell them, its out of their control...

 

very well said.. you took the words right out of my mouth...

it is wayyyyy deeper than how you look... you don't just wake up one day with one.. and you don't really make the decision to have one.. some girls I guess do for attention and what not but when you are really sick it is a process that happends it starts slow.. I thought everyone was crazy when they'd tell me I look really skinny.. I went through some crazy shit as a kid and I blamed myself for a long time.. so I still had those feeling and hated who I was inside at the time and it reflected what I saw in the mirror.. I hated how I looked..
I was in the mind state of "who the hell are you to tell me what I should eat" I'll show you.. I'll fake you out and make you believe I'm eating but I wont be.. I was constantly dpressed and only till my hubby said he would admitt me if I didn't get help.. the help of a friend.. and my health was going to shit.. i was passing out.. I would get horrible pains when I would eat.. and because your stomach muscles weaken if you don't eat I had bathroom problems... (I couldn't go) did I finally realize I was slowly killing myself.. and I look at my son now and it makes me sooo sad that I possibly could've died...
with me I'm pretty sure it was a control thing too.. my life's a mess right now...
but it was probably alot of other things I'm still not even aware of...
I'm just now getting healthy.. I'm talking weeks.. so it's hard to talk about all this... without getting emotional.. because there is still apart of me that doesn't want to let it go.. but my son means way more to me.. and what's funny is that I've started eating alittle more and working out less and I'm actually losing the weight in the places that I tried so hard to lose.. and feeling healthier is really nice too not to mention...
