yeah, i’m trying to lose weight and i really want to so I can feel better about myself.  There’s a difference between losing weight by eating healthier and exercising and simply not eating. As someone who has gone through eating disorders before, I know how horribly they affect you and that you can’t always control them.  It kills me to see pro-anorexia or pro-bulimic blogs.  It kills me more that young girls (around thirteen or so) leave messages saying that these anorexic girls are their motivation.  These girls maybe didn’t have an ED, but now by looking at these blogs they see them as fabulous and start eating less and less until they are consuming a meager 10 (or less) calories a day.

I wish those young girls (or any girl or boy, really) would look toward healthy athletes for motivation, not girls who are starving themselves to try to weigh under 89 pounds when they are 5’8”.

Am I just holding my goals to high or is this ridiculous?
