Thinspo - the most idiotic girls in the world.

Well just a few minutes ago I was searching for something (completely unrelated) on google and stumbled upon some "thispo" girl's blogs. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. The first one I saw I thought was a joke, but then there were MORE. Those girls are literally starving themselves on purpose and they know it. They say things like "Be strong. Starve on." And, "I'm so proud - I've only eaten one meal today" or "I didn't eat all weekend and lost five pounds!" What IDIOTS! What complete and total IDIOTS. Even when my ED was it's worst I would never admit that I was starving myself, nor did I even realise it myself.

Ugh, these kind of girls make me so mad. They're all going to end up half-dead and ugly as heck. JUST EAT PEOPLE. Food is your friend and your nourishment. Good grief.

It's the internet.  It's 2008.  How can anything possibly shock you? Type in any random stupid saying or behaviour and you'll probably find a website advocating it on the net.   If this site is real, it's nothing but sad that someone's thinking could be so muddled and confused that they think what they are doing is ok...but really...where's the surprise in this day and age?

Pssst, it's 2009 :-P

I just find it terribly sad, that they can be so proud of destroying their lives and health.

 The thing that ticks me off is that they aren't trying to do it for health, they're doing it to "look hot" and "get guys". Well let me tell you, guys do NOT like bones.

 No guys SO like T & A...  both of which u loose if you loose too much weight.   lol

2008, 2009...I was so close!!!...lol...

i always wonder about that.  are there really guys out there who are into girls that are that thin?  i just can't imagine wanting to sleep with someone who looks like a prison camp survivor.  i mean, it's gotta be like humping a bag of bones.  is that sexy to someone?  my mind boggles.

For every body type of woman, big or small, there are guys out there that are attracted to them.  Some body types more than others, but for each type, there is someone out there that it appeals to.  My two best male friends are complete opposites.  We often joke about one of them as liking "little boys" because he doesn't care about boobs or a round bottom, just so long as the woman is thin.  He likes Kiera Knightly for example, who to me, looks like a skinny boy with makeup on.  My other buddy likes bigger women so he's the "chubby chaser" .  His wife is probably about 50 lbs heavier than her BMI might indicate as healthy and all the women I've ever seen him attracted to were that size or bigger.  

As in all things, to each his own...

I used to be like those girls.  I never made blogs or whatever because I didnt want others to know about my extreme methods.  Honestly, my mind was so messed up by then, I really didnt care. At that point, I didnt do it for guys, to look hot, or even for health.  I did it just because...I think I was addicted to it.  Losing weight made me feel good, and was really the only thing that did.  I am recovering now, and hate that those websites are allowed, but its still a hard struggle.  I think the disease just messes up your mind so much, and there were times where I wished I could "just eat", but wanting it wasn't enough.  I would just reccomend staying far away from those sites, they are sick and you don't want to be exposed to any of those crazy habits.  I dont think we can change people like this.  They have to WANT help, and unfortunately many of them don't.  I look back and see how crazy it was, but for some reason at the time, it made me feel like I belonged. But I don't want to belong with people like that ever.

those websites are how girls with eating disorders express themselves where their behaviour isn't acceptable/tolerated in the real world and by their family & friends.

i used to obsessively update my blog with thinso, pictures, quotes, mantras, recipies, what i'd eaten today, what exersie i'd done, my goals, my dreams, my fears.

it was a way of articulating what was consuming my mind every single day. i don't regret any of it, it's made me who i am today. i did get very thin, and concerned a lot of people and in a way i'm still proud of what i'm able to do when i set my mind to something but i okay now.

i don't think those girls are stupid at all. many of them are very intelligent.

yeah, there are some **** who don't have eating disorders and create a bit of fuss and fake an ed but there are so many gorgeous and intelligent girls who are consumed by these eating disorders and these are how they express themselves, and find their escape from realities. they create a community of support and understanding.
