OK Ladies--111 Ways to Lose that FAT

[Rayca]

Starving Tip of The Day! | Skinny Gossip

The title of this absurd article is "Starving Tip of the Day" from a blog called "Skinny Gossip." OK, out of 111 tips, not every one of them is ridiculous, but most are, and some are shocking. At least to me. Check out the pictures of the model she used. Look at the bruise on the second picture. Did she fall down or is she maybe vitamin deficient?

I think this person means well (it's so hard to tell, though) but she just misses on so many levels. This type of attitude is what has caused so many of the societal pressures for women/girls.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

thats some of the scariest shit Ive ever read....it looks like its a website encouraging anorexia...seriously

 

[cindylou]

That is definitely a pro-ana website. They are all over.

She means well as in she's not trying to be malicious, but pro-ana is a lifestyle and its definitely encouraging/supporting anorexia. Its depressing to think about but what do you do

the same website thinks lindsey lohan is fat in the playboy pictorial

I think we should put a trigger warning next to the link and on the title. Seriously.

I just browsed the tips, and knew that someone's parents failed them in the first link. I didn't even want to hear those vapid b*tches tear apart Lindsay. Its sad to think people let their own vanity spur into a full fledged eating disorder that destroys them. Could you imagine your vanity being your early demise?

I think I'll go into the kitchen and eat some carbs and smile to myself that my entire self-worth isn't based on extremities. God, thank god I'm not like that...anymore.

The sad things is that I used to belong to some of those websites in another lifetime.

YES! IT gave me a strange feeling, like I might start restricting or start to criticize/judge/look at other women's bodies for flaws etc etc. Yuck. That type of stuff is a poison, hard to get out of your head once its in there!
