Why do people want to be anorexic?

I dont see why you people want it, if you want to lose weight lose it healthy. Its not fun being anorexic. So stop asking how to become one. Its more than just losing a few pounds.

Right on girl! Good to see someone on here with some common sense.

Unfortunately, real anorexia (as opposed to what a lot of the attention seekers on here have) is a serious disease. It affects your mental health, and it's incredibly hard to stop- you can't just 'snap out of it'. It's heartbreaking to see the effect it can have on people you love as they slowly kill themselves. Many people do die from it, but sometimes people are lucky enough to get a wake up call- for me, it was sneezing one day and fracturing a rib. My heart goes out to those people who can't break free, and I'd always offer a hand to anyone who wanted help to break free.

I don't know why anyone would want to be imprisoned by such a serious condition.

...but then... she DOES have an 'Olsen' photo in her profile.

I no where you people are coming from but when your obese or chubby and people really h8 the way the look people will try anything and if that means they want to become anorexic to become skinny they will im a size 14 and im 5ft 7 and I wish I was anorexic that how much I want to loose weight but 3 people of my family are anorexic and thats a route I don't want to go down but like I say people that are mentily upset about the way they look will try anything and unless your fat you will never understand

and I don't understand I read that your anorexic yourself so why are you telling people to stop trying to be anorexic when your anorexic yourself

Denial? Honest ignorance?

...or even more likely, troll?

Just because someone is anorexic doesn't mean they _want_ to be anorexic. Anorexia is a serious condition, it's not something you can control. I amire funnyboneslove actually being able to come out and say 'it's more than just losing a few pounds', because it is so much more. It controls your life. It's damn hard to break free of it. The problem is, it can be very hard for people who haven't experienced it to understand. Let's try to be a little more tolerant, okay guys?

I just dont want people to go through some of the horrible things anorexia puts you through. Thanks lex_icon for understanding.

Attacking other users(and calling them psychopaths...) isn't going to win you a good reputation either.
