ana_is_healthier_than_fat thin wins and sexier 070617 ... margaux go rot in hell you twig, you'll burn faster than the rest of us. anybody who wants to mutilate their bodies so much that i can break their bones right_in_two with my bare hands can pass out on the freeway for all i care. i understand its a "disease" (that i once had, by the way) but back_in_my_day we kept it to ourselves, we didn't advertise the fact, let alone tell others about our fucked_up self perception. you're a horrible person. keep doing what you're doing. 070617 ... me i think margeux has some problems. 070618 ... unhinged i think margaux is right you die a lot faster if you starve yourself 070618 ... margaux thanks unhinged 070618 ... Ouroboros oh come on your problems won't go away because you stop eating, or more appropriately, because you become self-absorbed and overly-preoccupied with what you eat. move out of your black and white punitive thinking and wake the fuck up and maybe try to be involved in the human race or making the world a better place. or starve yourself to death and cost your family thousands of dollars in hospitalization, have permanent digestive issues, weak bones, seizures, and finally death. but please, don't spread your disease-twisted messages around. ana_is_healthier_than_fat my ass. go_drink_an_ensure, get yourself to therapy, and find another way to deal with your overpowering emotions. 070618 ... unhinged no problem margaux you know a healthier way to get thin? eat less meat and exercise more. i am almost three sizes skinnier than i was because i am a vegetarian and i do yoga regularly. intention is a big part of it. if you get skinny just to be skinny chances are you will get fat again. i became a vegetarian to become a more serious buddhist and i started doing yoga to help my fucked up shoulder so i could play my violin more. *shrugs* and we've all seen those maury or dr. phil episodes with the severely anorexic adults that weigh 70 lbs. that looks healthy to you? maybe you should check yourself into a food clinic or something. 070618 ... narduar One of the diet industry's incestuous myths is that there's a 1:1 ratio between weight loss and health. That's one of the biggest justifications of attacks on fat people, "You're unhealthy!". It's like it's come kind of moral crime in this age to prefer crispy, seasoned chips to dried out granola. I've worked in an ice cream store. I hear the women's cries of guilt. "Oh, I'm so bad. I feel so bad about this." What the hell? It's food, since when is it attached to some kind of morality? We treat smokers and drinkers and skydivers with less acidic accusations of unhealthiness than we do our seeming "overeaters". At any rate, as any starving person will tell you - I mean away from this North American rich/glitz bubble - weight loss is not 1:1 with health. Not physically, not emotionally, and not mentally. To think otherwise grants you not even the shrewdness of someone who sells out, but the pitiful naivety of someone who eagerly buys in. 070619 ... narduar And do you find it a little odd that only women are supposed to be healthy(=skinny)? Isn't that a little coincidental? Turn on your TV set and tell me how many food commercials associated with health feature women. And how many associated with steak, hamburgers, and beer feature men. Is there some conspiracy in the health-food industry to only make women healthier? Or was it never about health at all? Could it (gasp) be the same old beauty shit we've been putting up with, gobbling down, and shitting out since the Ice Age? 070619 ... jane probably not since the ice age, since everyone *was* ice cream. 070619 ... fit "And how many associated with steak, hamburgers, and beer feature men." all that stuff is disgusting and killing the earth. i've been vegan for a decade. im happy and healthy. i run every week and am thin because of it. i don't think the "ana" refers to anorexia, just very thin. and yes, that is healthy if you don't smoke or drive a car or eat meat. 070620 ... minnesota_chris they're both bad for your heart, as it turns out... 070621 ... unhinged and if you're a chick, being 'skinny' is bad for your uterus. something about 18% body fat for a healthy functioning reproductive system....which most women probably wouldn't miss, but with higher rates of female cancers, maybe that's why. i don't know though. i'm not a doctor *shrugs* 070621 ... jane ana definitely referred to anorexia, by the way. don't even start an argument with me! 070621 ... jane seriously. 070621 ... ; chakra science ! 070622 what's it to you? who go blather from
