Why can't girls realize that anorexia isn't beautiful?

Hilary duff. She suffered from Anorexia for about 1-2 years, she admits it, and now look at her, fit and lean and gorgeous, she said that it was the hardest thing in the world to have people saying she looked fat and so she just lost all self-esteem and thought she had to be teeny tiny to be beautiful. I recently met Hilary and asked her how she overcame it, she said that she looked at all her fans and realized that the fans have fun at her concerts and come looking as cute as possible to meet her,…and not all of them are skinny like her… and they’re so proud of her and having fun b/c of her…and she realized she doesn’t need to be skinny to be beautiful, she needs to accept herself and be happy with how she is, despite what others say.

This is a BIG problem in Hollywood… and in Texas too. I’d like to know who decided that “pounds of makeup, an orange artificial tan, bleach blonde hair, fake acrylic nails, collagen lip injections, and breast augmentation, spectral white lasered teeth” is suppose to be BEAUTIFUL.

I’d like to know who decided this… and SLAP them.

Amen to curves. Curves also means she’s more supple, and there’s no bruising after you’re intimate. Having s*x with a boney girl is like getting intimate with a laserjet printer. There’s too many sharp corners…

Don’t ask… that’s the only comparison I could think of…

True. And another example would be Miss Mandy. She’s one of the few female celebrities, who never let that distorted image affect her, or her career.

well gee….good for you….I’m sorry that someone or some event in your life has made you feel so bad about yourself that you have to get attention by not eating and making your family worry about you by not being healthy.

it is a disease and they have established a mental disablilitly causing there brain to thin it is pretty when really it may not be since you die from it it must not be good

I AGREE 100 percent with this comment omfg i hate girls who ask questions like how do i become anorexic? disgusting disgusting disgusting if ur fat just exercise jesus xxx

i agree, we are all made like this for a reason. and anorexic is not very nice looking nor fells good either. i think we should all be happy with our bodys and get on with our life instead of trying to impress others with out looks!

i’m extremly self consious of my body cuz my older sis is drop dead gorgeous (like she makes barbie look like dirt) and here i am 5’ 3’ weighin 131lb due to workin on cars all summer tryin to help the family make ends meet. thus i have massive arms and very large legs from lifting things all day. sadly i am now anorexic

i dont know why but im a guy and i like girls whatever shape if they are nice and have a good personality (there are exceptions lets face it there needs to be some physical attraction)

honestly idk i agree with u they should lol i no im a girl and im saying this… i think its just what their mothers and fathers drill in their head that skinny is beautiful and some take it too far = /

I have problems with my body… The only reason I dont change is because my boyfriend says i’m beautiful just the way i am.. and I know he’d never lie to me so.. I only stay the way i am because it makes him happy and when he’s happy i’m happy… But the reason I am like i am is because when I was little I was called fat.. I mean now i’m 5’4” and i vary from 140 - 146Ibs.. and I hate it.. i’m over weight by 20 poounds.. and it isn’t really my fault cuz my geans run big.. I have hips boobs and a butt… plus my parents conplaun on how fat they are.. my mom is 5’2” and weights 140 too. I just feel horrible like no one would ever want me because i’m not skinny or pretty enough like super stars and models..

I dont understand why someone would want to be like that…its a mental illness sum people cant help it but you see these girls posting questions like how do I become anorexic thats just sick… im not fat bdw im 5 ft 4 and about 100 pounds I know its not that big but sometimes I feel like I need to lose a lot of weight but I dont obsess about it that much

I don’t understand this one either- I like curves.

I’m pretty sure that television & magazines cause most of it. Peer & parental pressure cause it too…

It would be easy if they all looked like you and your friends.
