You can see it everywhere, models that are so thin that I am assured that if you'd see one of them walking in the supermarket with skinny clothes, you may just as well be deterred from such ''beauty's''. I myself have noticed as well a certain disgust from females who have absolutely no way of distinguishing their bottom from their legs & chest in terms of circumference, yet it is still what is perceived as perfection by the media of popular culture and via that link as well as young girls through that medium.
What just makes me so angry is that nobody who is responsible for such media even takes into account it's influence on teenage girls who are of course never as ''perfect'' as the models they use. Is there ever any fix for this mental disease, because that's what his Pro-ana movement is, when the causes are just going to remain.
Now, the reason I made this topic because someone very dear to me I am suspecting of visiting these sites, as her MSN is frequently showing quotations who I then link back to the next Anorexia worshipping weblog or website. I'm not going to give a link to those sites here, but below is an example of how far these things can go:
Quote
If you aren't thin, you aren't attractive.
Being thin is more important than being healthy.
You must buy clothes, cut your hair, take laxatives, starve yourself, do anything to make yourself look thinner.
Thou shall not eat without feeling guilty.
Thou shall not eat fattening food without punishing oneself afterwards.
Thou shall count calories and restrict intake accordingly.
What the scale says is the most important thing.
Losing weight is good/ gaining weight is bad.
You can never be too thin.
Being thin and not eating are signs of true will power and success.
And it is that number three that my dearest is currently seemingly adhering herself to, and I feel powerless in doing anything about it.
