Before you post a reply saying that you are overweight or that you want to lose weight, please first check our Weight Calculator . If the calculator says that you are healthy weight, please do not post a message saying that you are overweight or that you want to lose weight. This offends the kids who really are overweight. Thanks a lot. |
Message Replying To From sabina, Age 17 Ht. 5'7", Wt. 164 - hey everyone I'm just posting to let everyone know that anorexia isn't just something a person can get over. I have been doing research on it and sadly it takes a lot more than just a whack over the head to fix it. Unfortunately it takes lots of therapy and even then there is a chance people go back to those terrible habits. If you want to learn more on the topic read the book Wasted by Mayra Hornbacher. It really woke me up to the fact that anorexia and bulimia isn't just a simple fix and you can't just tell someone to stop doing it. A lot of factors play into why a person becomes anorexic or bulimic. So next time someone makes a rude comment on the topic please think twice and realize it is unfortunately an illness not some phase |
