Is it social pressure or is it something that is born in? the same applies to other methods of self-harm. girls hold the majority of self harmers. Why? is there more pressure in their lives? is it hormonal? it's ironic that men (the big and macho rulers of the world) seem to be in so much less pain overall than women. Please post you thoughts.

also, do you think men are just less likely to reveal their problems?

I'm trying to eat and not stick my fringre down my throat and purge.i feel guilty,angry at myself for eating a saiad. i think to myself that was to much. i feel sick. i think of my weight. in my mind thin is in. its my control. i need to feel thin so i look good to others. i think ok 10 or 15 pounds will be good, but then i like how thin I'm getting loved ones are saying how good i look. so why not other 10 pounds? then i get week i feel like I'm going to pass out...i keep thinking i need to be thin.like i said it's my control, but I'm letting go of it. I'm eating think i can do this i can beat it.(we are the doomed) you are right this is self-harm. I'm doing the best i can and I'm trying so hard. i put it on someones life that i would not (self-harm) so did that person. I'm glad you brought this up. oh yeah and I'm a vegitartan and i still think I'm fat. but i take it day by day......Crista xoxo..

Too often it seems to me like women just give up on exercising once it gets too difficult to lose weight. Well that happens to everybody but men are more likely to go for the muscle that burns calories all the time.
Women need to realize they don't gain muscle of the same type as men unless they are doing roids our something.
Anybody can be depressed about how they look.

It is hard being a girl. There is so much pressure to be the prettiest. To be the thinnest. I blame the media for making it this way. I also say that self esteem has alot to do with it. The higher it is the better we deal with it.

I think (not being a woman) that It is because women are more pressured to be thin, because I guess they think it looks better. Guys think they should be big and buff, while girls think they should be thin, and they shouldnt. But guys do have them, too.

girls have more eating disorders because they are more self concious of what they look like kinda like the whole thing with it takes a girl 40x longer to get ready than a guy its because if they dont like how they look they try to change it.

Most guys don't care about their looks nearly as much as women do.
