Eating Disorders

As I mentioned before, Fuck Yeah Skinny Chicks is NOT a “thinspo” blog. If you use some of my pictures as your own thinspiration then there’s nothing I can do about it, but please understand that they are not intended that way.

Whatever your reasons for an eating disorder, please understand that it isn’t good for you nor will it make you more attractive or popular than you already are. The real keys to attractiveness and popularity are a) confidence and b) genuine friendliness. Trust me: I’ve done the whole high school thing.

If you’re thinking it will make you more attractive to guys: it won’t. Because you’ll have less body fat, your boobs will become smaller, and there are all sorts of side effects, such as dry skin, thinning hair, bad moods, constant colds and other sicknesses, and general misery. None of that is attractive; health is attractive.

Eating disorders will fuck your body up. The human body runs on the fuel of healthy food and depriving it of that will well, fuck it up. You’ll get all sorts of health problems your immune system will be weakened (so you’ll get sick more easily) and in extreme cases, you’ll die. If you’re anorexic or bulimic, you’re breaking someone’s heart, whether it’s your family or friends or someone who just doesn’t like seeing you suffer.

If you really do want to lose weight, there are healthier and more effective ways to do it and there are many resources on the Internet to help you.

I don’t think that any of this will change your mind because it’s probably stuff you’ve heard before. But if you are anorexic or bulimic, please tell someone who really cares about you and see how they feel about it.
