Reply from Maggie, Age 15 - 04/14/05 - IP#: 68.113.191.xxx Anorexia wont make you happy. Just cut back what you eat and have fun with your excercise and eating habits. reward yourself for doing good things, like go out and buy yourself a pretty necklace instead of eating. you should be happy and comfortable losing weight. anorexic girls panic about there weight all the time. its nothing you want to get into. i've tried it. its not easy and not fun at all. and didnt work for me. the key is to be happy!
Reply from janie, Age 15 - 04/13/05 - IP#: 64.136.49.xxx oh anorexic? well, lets see.... 1. metabolism will be permanantly f***ed up. 2. your body will think you are starving (which you are!!) and will put out more FAT CELLS 3. you will feel horribly tired, from lack of food. 4. your body has nothing to function on, so you wont function. 5. you will hurt yourself. in otherwords, dont. you are either too sensitive, or you need to tell your mother what you plan. if she lets you, tell another responsible adult. she needs help.

Reply from helen, Age 15 - 04/12/05 - IP#: 68.158.12.xxx well i use to be annorexic it was absolutely HORRIBLE the whole time you are always thinking am i gonna gain weight doing this? are people looking at me? are people talking behind my back? do i look fat? all those sorts of questions you are always tired all the time you become even more depressed and also you find a way of expressing that depression such as cutting, drugs, sex, anything mine was cutting it is really horrible.. the medical consequeces other then after you get treatment/ if you get treatment before you die are heart attack because when you dont eat you burn muscle and your heart is a muscle so it will not be able to do things like a regular 15 year old you will have to do things that old people do....also if you do get treatment you will be battling it FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE it isnt something where you go YAY im cured you will always have that nagging feeling of should i eat today? have i worked out enough? and you will never ever feel good enough for any body....well thats just some of the effects and if you need to do more research go to google but DO NOT GO ON ANY PRO ANOREXIA SITES IF YOU SEE THEM DO NOT GO ON THEM!!!!
Reply from ashley!, Age 15 - 04/12/05 - IP#: 206.222.221.xxx you know what? im sorry but you are seriously stupid if you 'want' to be anorexic. first of all, it is not a thing that you want to be. It is in the mind. You cannot make yourself anorexic neither can your mom. Also, if you chose to not eat, you will eventually kill yourself. Please Please dont do it. I just found out last night that one of my brothers best friends has cancer. His uncle had this same form of cancer in November and died from it in January. So, my brothers friend basically has 3 months to live, because everyone else has died in 3 months or less, he is only 18 years old and does not want to die! If you want to not eat and kill yourself, you are being VERY selfish because others would fight to have your living life, instead of a dieing life.
Reply from Michelle <3 - 04/12/05 - IP#: 206.148.117.xxx Apparently you're new to all this, but if you didn't know, anerexia is a DISEASE and you cannot aspire to "be it". I don't want to sound like a know it all bitch, but I'm a partially recovered anerexic and TRUST me no one WANTS to be it. Would anyone want to have aids or cancer? nope. Lose weight the healthy way and don't go down the eating disorder path if it can be avoided : )
Reply from Kaitlyn, Age 15 - 04/12/05 - IP#: 216.74.216.xxx Actually I have read up a lot on people who are anorexic. And its really a phychological thing. They think that they are ugly and even when they weigh 100 pounds and are 5'7 that they should lose another 10 pounds. It is really scary and you could very easily die of heart failure. Yes, it would take a year or so, but it has happened, please, do not do that 2 urself!
Reply from Tiara, Age 15 - 04/12/05 - IP#: 64.91.22.xxx There are many consequences. Death, you metabolism really slows down, it is definetly not attractive, you get depressed, you get sick, when you finally become miserable enough and you don't want to be anerexic you body regects food, and if it does stay down you gain lots and lots of weight because of you metabolism, there are a lot more consequences. Please don't become anerexic!
Reply from Scar Face, Age 14 - 04/12/05 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx First of all, you can't decide to BE annorexic, for it is a mental condition that one contracts. You can, however, decide not to eat. This is a VERY VERY stupid decision. Things that can happen include organ failure. SInce you're not eating anything you organs break themselves down as energy, thus ending your life. Before you die however, it will be VERY painful, especially when you begin to throw up blood due to the decompisition of your vital organs. I really hope you change your mind after reading this -- these are just the facts.
Reply from patrick, Age 13 - 04/12/05 - IP#: 24.238.236.xxx well, death is a typical result from anorexia. when you're anorexic, as i'm sure you know, you dont eat anything. so your body saves up as much energy as possible, and that slows your metabolism. if you start to eat again, you'll gain weight because of this and will probably end up fatter than before. if you don't start to eat again, your body will basically run out of energy and you'll die. in other words, deciding to be anorexic is a very, VERY stupid idea. i hope i have been of some help.
