i find this article disturbing in its portrayal of anorexia. anorexia is a serious mental disease that can not just be turned on or off. i understand that this is a humor site, and i understand that your are just trying to make a joke, but what i am worried about is that some naive person will find this site and take its information and tips as actual advice. Telling an anorexic they are ugly could cause them to become suicidal and restrict food even more! i hope you take this into consideration next time you are planning to write an article like this.
thank you for reading,
alice

Hey, most girls I know who fight anorexia, they don’t really care about getting fat. For them, it’s about control, but if you hurt their feelings they feel more out of control and become more and more obsessed. Websites like this shouldn’t be up, because nobody deserves to be made fun of.

Dear Laura,

Listen I have been battling anorexia for a couple of months now and it is hard. I was fine for two months then well the 3rd my body started doing weird things. I felt like I wanted to throw up but it was only in the morning. Every now and then I got dizzy or sometimes my eyesight would play tricks on me. I mean I only did it to get down to the weight I wanted to be but after I got to that size I thought I was fat so I kept it up. I still am keeping it up cause when I look in the mirror all I see is fat. Sometimes I will eat then I will stop again. I am scared to get help and well my parents still don’t know anything. They think I only went on a diet. I refuse to tell them. So don’t tell me that not every anorexic thinks they are not fat or ugly that is BS. If they don’t then they are not a true anorexic so get your facts straight or shutup.

I eat all the food i want. I just work out regularly. Its not that tough to figure out. Focus on what truely matters. Like family, religion, friends, school, work. Dont worry about looks. Who cares! In the end, no one does. Just eat healthy food and work out a couple times a week..

you deliberatly chose the worst picture of an annorexic model and a really good picture of a non annorexic to be biased to ur view

Whilst i find this article neither offensive nor funny, i would like to point out that a man calling an anorexic person ugly is not going to cause them to change their eating habits, since it is a serious mental disorder and not a desperate plea for male attention.

Pro-anorexic sites aren’t what’s causing eating disorders, fucked up websites like these are. Making fun of obese people? I mean come on! How is this website aimed at helping people at all? You’re just a bunch of judgemental assholes who can’t get off their high horse long enough to look around and see what’s really going on. Anorexia is not going to be cured by making fun of fat people and have guys yell at them that they’re ugly. You’re disgusting.

if you tell an anorexic that she’s ugly she will only starve herself more. Your advice is misinformed, though does have good intentions.
