Pro anorexia/bulemia, anyone willing to take the bait?

Question : Pro anorexia/bulemia, anyone willing to take the bait?
I completely understand the harm that anorexia and bulemia can do to the body if it used excessively (such as organ failure, enamal removal, burns in the throat etc.) but there are groups that support the moderate use of these techniques for loosing/maintaining weight because it is easy to do without exercise or supplement use- keeping an open mind- tell me what you think.

I think that they can be harmful…or helpful. By helpful I mean that being inside of a community where techniques are checked and double-checked, pro-anas and pro-mias can become aware of techniques which are harmful and do nothing to influence their weight (such as taking laxatives). They people involved will probably live this lifestyle regardless of whether or not they are a part of the community. At least inside of the community others can tell them the less harmful ways of going about their business.

I guess my only question is how can they consider that easy as compared to eating healthy and exercising. A healthy lifestyle is very easy once you convince yourself to really do it. It becomes routine just like anything else. But I guess health isn’t what they are concerned about – its strictly appearance, which is ironic considering the hideous physical results of eating disorders. I try to keep an open mind, but it is tough when I just can not understand what some people are thinking when they do certain things to themselves. I just want to grab them and shake them and say wtf are you thinking.

ok, well i am a recovering anorexic. i was obviously pro ana/mia at a time in my life, but now, im against it. they (doctors, nurses, shirnks) made me take off my red string i had on my wrist becuase it reminded me of what i “needed” to do. i know how terrible it is for you, trust me. im having surgery in 2 weeks. this is not an “easy way out” because anorexia was the hardest thing that i ever went through. it’s reallly hard and tiring 1. not eating no matter how hard the pangs. 2. hiding it from your family 3. drinking enough water as to not faint. (i fainted twice in one week and that’s what gave me away…) but dieting and exersizing is OBVIOUSLY wayyy more practical and way better for you.

i’m going to have heart and organ problems my whole life now thanks to this stupid eating disorder. my body was literally shutting down.

that’s no way to live.

I think that only a lazy, ignorant person would ever consider that. The fact that they are diseases, is because they are addictive. People can’t control the fact that they binge/throw up/don’t eat/whatever. That’s why it is a problem. The people who have these disorders have a flawed self-image; so how can you correct something if that something does not exist? Anorexics end up having flabby loose skin — that is way less attractive than nice toned muscles. And you’ve already pointed out the health issues associated with bulemia; even in moderation, they exist. I’m all for keeping an open mind, but I guess I just cannot understand why someone would do so much harm to their body to lose weight, when weight loss usually goes hand-in-hand with a healthier lifestyle.
