Answer 1

They are shocking!

I am also worried at how much people come and ask about diets and weight loos when they are already slim and even with a low weight for their height.

What is going on?
Who or what is making all this people believe they need something they do not, and even be willing to hurt them self by starving, desiring a body that just resembles a bag of wrinkles skin that holds bones.

Makes me wonder, has me worried.

Good question, hope you make others think about all this.

Answer 2

Yes i am shocked by the pics,as with other pics i have seen in the past.It makes you so very angry and frustrated that these women (AND MEN) starve themselves to look this way.I dont think anything anybody says to these sufferers will change their view of themselves,they have to realise the damage and hurt they are causing for themselves.Even then, they need proffesional help to becoming commited to healthy, permanent weight gain,but it will still possibly affect them from time to time during their lives.Been there and done it in my teens,have know idea why i started,but was given a confidence boost by the positive comments i was recieving,hunger pains actually made me feel good,then the comments turned into pity and concern.Luckily, i have a strong personality,i began to get really angry with myself,and the routine of hard excersice, so i snapped myself out of it.In my thirties now,and still worry about gaining too much weight,but i could never put myself through an experience like that again. Thats why i feel so angry and frustrated at the pics i just seen,bought a few memories back!

Answer 3

yes it's horrific. i just ate a whole big block of chocolate and was feeling bad, but now I actually appreciate the fact that yeah, it was a bad thing to do but I actually can laugh about it and the worst i'll do now is to ensure it doesnt happen again for a very long time and put it down to an enjoyable moment of over indulgence!

yeah they look like they might have been tampered with though, the photos not the models.

Answer 4

To answer your question, I probably would be shocked if I could take it upon myself to look, but I can not, because it would hurt me too much to have those images in my head. To all the people that are in that state and all the people that love them and have to live with it, I send my heart.

Answer 5

They do look anorexic or there either starving themselves to death.I don't like seeing the bones sticking through it doesn't look healthy.Women look better with some meat on there bones and a glow to there skin...

Answer 6

Hi, Oh my goodness dont they look terrible, it must be an awful illness to have. Thank goodness that we have people to help people with anorexia and other eating disorders.

Answer 7

no, I'm not shcoked because the pictures of the models are doctored up to make them look thinner. Yes, they are already thin, but not that thin. Go to www.snopes.com

Answer 8

that is the most disgusting thing i have ever seen!!! i would never date a girl like that! it is rediculous when people call Tyra or other people fat but she is at average body weight for her. i think any woman too skinny is disgusting. NO SKIN AND BONES FOR ME!!!

Answer 9

i'm not shocked actually impressed to see that someone is taking an intrest in them my friend is one but shes really tall we don't even pay attention to it though its not really important because its nothing that hurts her as a person

Answer 10
