Why do people want to become anorexic?

its not “fun” at all some people are stupid for ever trying that !!

Because. We feel fat. It doesn't have anything to do with being stupid.
And people who are, are like that because people have more than likely called them fat before in their lives anyways.
They're desperate to be skinny. They think that if they do, they might get some of the glitz and glamour that the girls you see walking the runway have.
And it might be because of a guy. Someone you like doesn't like you back, so you think it's because you're fat and ugly. That's why I obsess over my weight. It doesn't matter that the guy told me he thinks I'm georgous and awesome, whatever that means...
And they're never happy. They could weigh less than 90 lbs. and still feel fat.

Don't be so quick to judge.

I agree.. people aren't educated on the potential risks involved which are much greater than becoming a little sick and losing weight. I think our culture has somehow glamorized being small/skinny over the years and whatever method used to get that way is appropriate--even if it means paying with your own life. Cardiac failure/arrest is a very prominent end result with BN and AN aside from the numerous other nasty side effects. -S

I agree. It seems that most of the people who say they want an eating disorder are very young girls who are extremely uneducated when it comes to human anatomy and physiology. They think it's just a lifestyle choice that will help them lose weight. They do not realize it is a serious life threatening disease.

I bet if you asked them to define starvation, they could, and they would know people can die from it. Yet it's as if they do not even realize that it could happen to them if they do not eat.

I agree atleast there are some sane people out there..lol..I have experienced so much with Anorexia, I almost died, I was throwing up in the toilet and the next thing I know I'm in a hospital bed with a tube down my throat, people say they can turn anorexic over-night. I assure you it cant happen I went through so much S** and I was tired of people calling me fat so I took control, almost died and I wanna spread the word that there is no F** buddy in anorexia because I felt I was the only one who was going through this yet here we are and I find out 10,000000000 other girls are doing it just to please some stupid-stuck-up-malibu-barbie wanna-be. Im shocked that the statistics are so high in teen girls dying from anorexia, my cuzzin wasnt so lucky like me to survive she died at 16 and I dont want anyone else ending up like her. If noone believes me well atleast I can say I tried right?

something wrong in their heads. thats why they believe they are fat.

a lot of ppl dont seem to understand wat an eating disorder is they think u can just stop being ana or mia and that it wont hav any side affects like hair loss or tiredness or even death!! they shd grow up and realise wat they wud b doin to there mind and body.

and you dont feel being less than 90 lbs and still feeling fat isn't stupid? think before you speak

I've suffered from bulimia since I was 15 which later turned into anorexia at about 17.

I lost 65 lbs. I was a walking skeleton but I got really sick and was forced to eat by my family threatening me to go into hospitalization so I had to and I threw up most of what I ate but they watched me and made me sit with them whenever they were home so I couldn't puke.

my dad called me fat ever since I can ever remember and I've always had a super athletic body with soccer thighs and have always been considered big .. I've never had a gut or anything but yeah.

eating disorders take over your life. I have been on anti depressants because of how depressed I am how much I would give to have my anorexic body back but the binging and the purging just takes over your life. everything I do am thinking about how many calories is in it and when I'm going to stop doing this and join weight watchers so I can lose weight NATURALLY instead of cheating my way through life.

I just turned 19 and I'm going clubbing all the time now because I live in Canada. I am always self conscious of my body as one with an eating disorder always is, and I've never had a problem with popularity or anything like that so I never had to deal with that stuff.. but anwyays, yeah. my girlfriends are stunning. I have beautiful, skinny friends and I always feel like a fat slob around them.

it's so hard cause I could never say anything like this to them because I have never been one to ever want attention from anyone else telling me how beautiful I am or whatever. I have a pretty face but my body is disgusting. having sex with my boyfriend is probably one of the most horrible things in this world because that's how people are intimate with eachother and all I can think of is how he's touching me and how he must just thinking I'm absolutely revolting but he just loves me too much to say anything.

I don't know. I just would give anything to be able to eat a big mac like my friends do at mcdonalds and then get into their size 00 jeans and know that they aren't in the bathroom throwing up their food to a dream that will only ever be a dream.

I dont know why but I want to be anorexic.
none of you understand, iknow about all this + that.. life threatening disease + that. but I want to try it and just feel what its like and to have control.
to do something good for me in my life, I am chubby + well.. fat. my mum and brother take the mick out of me sometimes with jokes about my weight and cakes and stuff and they dont realise how much it hurts for your family too say that. people would want to become anorexic, for control.. attention, depressed, something new + just to try it. I know its quite bad but I dont see it that way and you can all call me and other people weird but its not like that ATALL! its how we feel inside. everybody sees + feels different. just think of yourself instead of warning and having a go at others cause of it. I am going to try and loose some weight and im going to start tmorrow and if there are bad consequences to it, like anorexia. I will come back on here and write for you too see and give my point of view on how I feel about it, yeah ? I WANT TO BECOME ANOREXIC. dont tell me not to because I am and im trying. I dont care anymore. I've slit my wrists before cause I thought no1 loved me and my whole family pay more attention to my brother and not me. I get bullied, not many friends. im not that pretty tbh + im NOT popular ! a lot of teenage problems tbh.
im 13 and I want to be anorexic.

ok so I understand your point of views,
but you'll only become sick and die and why waste your life like that? everyone is made differently and yeah of course everyone has bad days but so what? easier said then done? I know right! but live your life to your fullest!! nobody is perfect. it's like when you hear people cutting themselves your like ewww how can they do that? but your doing it in a way similar to them. everyone has problems and I've been called fat everyone has or that your tooo skinny its you yout body no one elses ! you don't have to feel as if your the next heidi klum everybody is different! be the one who influences your life not anybody else!!

f*cking hell. No one wants to be Anorexic! The people that say they do are stupid and attention seekers. They think its a quick fix to loosing weight. Its not all about weight anorexia is sometimes a means of control for people who feel they have no control over anything else in their lives. Anorexia is a mental illness not a diet. You wouldn't say I want to have autism or anything like that. People who want to be Anorexic are just insulting those who have this illness like me. I would happily give it to one me you stupid girls if that was possible if you want it that much. Its pathetic.

I agree with above. No one wants to be anorexic, its a psychological disorder that they cannot control. imagine being terrified of food and devoting your life to never putting on a single pound. doesnt sound like something anyone would want.

I kinda agree with azb sorry
