If you become an anorexic how long does it take for you to lose the weight? And also is it worth it? I'm not thinking of becoming anorexic I'm just wondering..

I'm so sorry that you are in so much pain, and experiencing so much body dissatisfaction that you would be willing to consider this. I highly recommend finding some support in your area (a therapist, group, etc) and talking about what is making you so unhappy. Below is a link for a therapist search. Good luck. You shouldn't have to feel so badly.

Being thin is not worth losing your life over.. neither is developing SERIOUS health problems. I'm under the impression that you ARE considering anorexia.. but I'm sure that you have many beautiful things about you. Real women have curves.. in my opinion. Do not give into the media! What they depict in most of the media is not how a real woman should look. When you become anorexic, eventually your body "devours itself," as my professor put it.

The "Is it worth it?" part of your question makes me think you are thinking of becoming anorexic, let me tell you that It is not worth it to look like a skelleton, wrap a stick in plastic, the stick is your body and the plastic is your skin, do you really want to look like that?

Ofcourse it's not worth it! Why would it be? It's almost a disease! Why risk your life to look "good"? People with anorexia don't even say "okay I'm going to have this disease to look good". They have a complex in their brains which makes them think they're not pretty the way they are. Ofcourse it's not worth it. I'm not trying to sound outraged, but it really really isn't worth it.

well, if you want to lose weight in an unhealthy way, you might as well just do a lot of drugs. youd be looking skinny, unhealthy, and hurt. just the only difference is that drug addicts dont look like a skeleton.
diet and exercise. why dont you just go by the normal safe AND proven way to lose weight and stay in shape?

the best thing to do is to eat , I really don't care if I Am fat or not, but if you wants to be slim, you don't need to suffer; just take the size you want to be, then low your portions of meals and do some exercise; specially abdominal,.There you are! you are in good shape. beauty, is not in the body shape; beauty is an abstract sight that make your body to perceive a nice sensation that make you feel good about yourself. to some one will be a surprise and a question, how you did it!. you suffer every single, every single day,.why suffer?.
