I was eating my lunch, and seen this show featuring anorexic people and all I feel like doing is eating even more!! I had no idea that Pro-Ana sites existed. I have checked a few out and I cannot even understand how they are legal. They are basically death sentences for insecure men and women.
It boggles my mind how and why these people are like that. Why do you want to harm your body? So strange. Don't you love yourself?
Don't ever get having a healthy diet and exercising confused with anorexia. They are two separate things!! Everyone has a healthy weight that is recommended for there height, gender and age. You should never be trying to attain a weight lower then this recommended weight.
For instance if you are 5'6'' and a female you should not weigh less then 125lbs. If you are taller, well then you should weigh more...
You can check out what your body mass index should be on various sites, or ask your Dr what a healthy weight is for you.
Let your body speak to you. For me I am quite slender (but healthy), I can tell though when I loose a couple pounds I just don't feel the same, I loose energy and feel I can function quite as well. I know and realize I need to make a point to eat more. I have a really fast metabolism so sometimes it can creep up and i can loose a nit without noticing it. One way I have learned to add some extra healthy calories to your diet to be sure you remain a healthy weight is to drink fruit juice instead of water at times. I also like to ad a healthy smoothy with fresh fruit and sometimes some protein powder or a Vega packet packed with energizing vitamins and protein. I have this in-between meals to keep me going and add something healthy to my diet.
It isn't good to just down a bag of potato chips if you are looking to gain a few pounds, I recommend only adding healthy and natural foods. After all its not all about how you look, it is about how you feel, and the overall health of your body.
Please never desire to be anorexic, this is a horrific disease, which makes me feel so sad. I would never endorse that. Not only can anorexia cause death, but in the mean time you can have your teeth rot, hair will fall out, you feel weak and faint. Become paranoid as your mind is not operating properly. Your organs can have a hard time functioning which can cause serious damage to your body.
We all need to love ourselves no matter what weight we are. We should only be concerned with living a healthy life so we can prosper and live long and disease free :)
