Last night I came across a horrible site that worships "ana" - a short for anorexia nervosa. It goes on and on about how being fat is gross, disgusting and fat people are pieces of shit who shouldn't be loved. What the fucking FUCK? A young girl can come across that, hear how because she weighs more than some; that she's disgusting, and it'll completely destroy her life .
To give an example of how bad this site is, I have taken some quotes from it:
"Ana sounds so much better than FATSO"
"Only thin people are graceful"
"Fat people can't fit everywhere"
"If you eat, you'll look like those fat, disgusting, trash hookers"
"Fatso's are lonely because people don't want to look at them"
"Fatsos are SOOOO disgusting"
"Fat people are ugly"
"Fat people can't be loved"
Those are just 8 of the 70 reasons why you "need" to be anorexic. And those 70 reasons are just one page on this entire site.
Isn't that horrible. It's bad enough that who ever writes it says that people anorexic is better, but when they say that being normal - "fat" is horrible, disgusting and ugly, that is just cruel.
Being a young teenage girl with a lot of beautiful thin friends, I have a lot of insecurities. And sites like these that are saying I'll never be loved because of it, well that hurts. A lot. I just can't believe how horrible this goddamn site is!
Not only does it make "over weight" people feel bad, but for those kids who are struggling with anorexia, it's telling them to STAY that way. How fucking horrible is that? These girls and boys have a disease that can KILL them, and this author is telling them to keep at it if they want to be beautiful.
One of the reasoning's is : "Fat people die earlier" (one of the "70 reasons not to eat")
Hell no! Fat people do not die earlier! If any thing, the odds are equal. Being anorexic kills, you lose hair, energy, your skin becomes horrible and your teeth decay. Did I mention it kills you?! Because I think that how it can kill you is just something that I'd throw in there. You know, about it killing you. Because it can do that. Actually, between 5% - 20% who are anorexic die.
But just holy shit! This site makes every one feel bad, no matter their size! If your are over weight, you are disgusting. If you are normal, you are disgusting. If you eat any thing, disgusting. And if you are completely underweight - I'm talking 75 lbs and 20 years old - don't eat any thing, and exercise like crazy, it isn't good enough. You are still fucking "disgusting" in their eyes.
A girl posted on the blog how she got better, and was a healthy 175 lbs. Then she wanted to lose 4 lbs, just because. But then 4 became 6 became 8 became 25. Soon she was 145 lbs, and wasn't finished. She wanted to go down to 100 lbs, and her finishing weight would be 75 lbs. I feel so bad for this chick, because she has a disease, and she comes on to this website that is telling her that every thing she is doing is making her "perfect".
Not only does it say you'll be perfect, and anti-disgusting, but it gives you tip after tip on how to trick your family. It tells you how to hide your "lifestyle" and how to get people off your scent.
It's fucking horrible.
I truly, from the bottom of my heart, feel bad for any one who has this disease. It's horrible, controls your life and you are never happy. Please, any one who has anorexia: Get help. Being "thin" and unhealthy isn't "perfect". Actually, in my eyes, it's less attractive (i hate being able to see bones) STOP.
And to the person who writes this blog, Pro Ana Lifestyle, go fuck yourself. You are distorting the minds of young adolescences both boys and girls. You should be ashamed, because you are taking lives, even if you haven't pulled the trigger.
I'm not going to lie though, I did take some information about working out from the site. They had some cool exercises that I wanted to try.
Please seek help if you and anorexia nervosa, or bulimia nervosa. These diseases aren't healthy, don't make you "prefect" and can kill you!
