wow you say it like it's a hair color or something. how do you start? aneroxic people don't "go anorexic" they have a sickness where they always feel fat, it's not that they want to be skinny. people DIE from it and are put into mental institutions because of it. anorexic people don't eat... so they starve themselves. and it's really stupid, so just don't even do it.. it's gay. people who are really skinny are unhealthy, so why would you want to be unhealthy? i'm really skinny, but i eat and i'm still small. so if you eat right and exercise, and be HEALTHY, you can be as small as is healthy for you.

type in your current height and weight. see what it says (healthy, unhealthy, under weight, over weight, etc.) and see what the lowest weight is according with your height that you can be without being underweight. if you want to be skinny, do it the right way. don't become anorexic.. hope i helped

This question disgusts me. You can't be serious. I suffered from anorexia a few years ago, it's not something you just wake up and decide to be. Anorexia is more of a mental disease than anything. People who are anorexic physically see themselves as overweight. They can be starting at only bones but they don't see that, they see skin and chunks of it.

You wanting to starve yourself to become really skinny is ridiculous. Why would you want to become that thin anyway? It's so disgusting.

You may think I'm being hypocritcal, but I didn't choose to do anorexia to myself. It was something that just kind of happened over time.

If you really want to lose weight and nothing you have done is working then you need to see a nutritionist for ways to be healthy. For all you know you are an average size but are unhealthy about it.

If this question was just to see what types of answers you could get then you should be ashamed of yourself. There are people out there who truly are suffering from something as terrible as anorexia and who physically can not eat. When you get so far into the disease your body starts rejecting food. In my own terms you physically cannot swallow the food. You basically choke on it until you cough it up. Anorexia is serious and I'm so shocked that someone would want to do that to themselves. Call me hypocritical or whatever you want. But if you saw me now, I'm definitly not the healthiest person ever and you wouldn't have a clue that I've ever had an eating disorder, but it shouldn't matter. I'm not that big of a hypocrite because I pulled through. It sickens me to hear anyone WANT to do that to themselves. You need help and you need a professional.

that's probably the stupidest thing i've ever heard. don't do it. eat healthily and exercise. go for daily runs or sign up at a local gym. do crunches at home in the morning and at night. eat three healthy meals a day. eat fruits or veggies for snacks. that should work. anorexia is definately not the answer. and it's not "usually" an illness. it IS an illness and it's very hard to cure once you get started. take care of your body, nobody wants to see you in the hospital.

DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF!

You don't just start being anorexic. It's fucking serious. It's not easy. People have serious disorders that cause them to hate themselves and starve themselves. It IS an illness.

I know someone that has DIED from anorexia. It's not some funny little game. It may make you skinny, but it's gross. It's a SICKNESS! Do you really want to be sick?

Please, never become anorexic. It's not worth it. Your life is much more important than being a size zero.

It's not worth becoming anorexic. Lose weight the right way with a healthy diet and exercise. You'll lose weight with that alone. And don't overdo the diet and exercise because it can become a borderline eating disorder with the diet and what they call exercise bulimia.

Honestly, there's no point in becoming anorexic. It'll get to the point where you faint and get sent to the hospital, or end up going to the hospital in general. And when anorexics go to a hospital they gain the weight back anyway from the starvation they've been doing to their bodies.

People need to stop being delusional thinking anorexia and bulimia are both going to help you lose weight. Haven't you read any magazines that show what it ends up doing to you? Seriously just lose weight the proper way.

FernGully answered Monday June 25 2007, 6:47 pm:
If anyone answers this question explaining to you how to be anorexic, I will consider it abuse.

Anorexia is a disorder affecting people with severe mental problems, and it's something that stays with you for the rest of your life.

Also, it's not going to give you the results you're looking for. When you don't eat, your stomach swells, but things like your hipbones and wrists will shrink dramatically, making you look, quite literally, like a skeleton. These things are not attractive. If you want to be thin, the best way to do it is exercise and eating well. If you lose weight the correct way, you won't have to experience the depression, the anxiety disorders, the hospital visits, the tubes being inserted into your throat nostrils and hands, and you won't kill your parents from sick and worry during the process.

Hahaha, what the fuck. Anorexia is when you starve yourself, basically. And that's fucking gross when all you see is skin and bone on a person, get a brain. You'll look nasty as hell and most guys I know tell me they wouldn't date a girl THAT skinny. O_o

And your statement, "and nothing will work!" is a false one.

JUST GET OFF YOUR ASS AND EXCERSISE.
EAT SOME FUCKING VEGGIES AND FRUITS.
AND DONT EAT JUNK.
ITS REALLY FUCKING SIMPLE.
Ohhhmmyyygodddd. Get a life. O_o


Sorry.

No one in their right mind on this site is going to tell you HOW to be anorexic. It isn't something you TRY to be, it is an MENTAL ILLNESS. You can't just give yourself a mental illness.

Anorexia is NOT good. It's extremely unhealthy and has side effects beyond belief. First of all, no guy wants a girl that's stick thin...it just looks gross. No one wants to see your bones. You should want to be healthy, not sick.

Anorexia causes you to grow lanugo, which is a thin layer of hair, all over your body! It also causes liver damage and effects most of your other organs as well. You can stop having a period and a lot of anorexic people become infertile and can never have children. You can start losing your hair and your immune system will be completely shot and you'll be more prone to infections and illnesses.

Even if you could just CHOOSE to be anorexic, you're wrong in thinking it's easy. You think starving yourself is easy? No way.

And by the way, malnutrition is another effect of anorexia. One of the effects of malnutrition is a bloated stomach...so you won't be stick thin for long.

Be smart, you can't really expect people to TELL you how to be anorexic. Get real. Do what everyone else does. Diet and exercise. There's no easy way to lose weight. And my guess is that you're not even close to overweight.

askkatie answered Monday June 25 2007, 6:33 pm:
Okay, first of all let me warn you that what I am about to say is going to be very harsh, but you need to hear it.

ARE YOU FREAKING STUPID!?
Why on earth would you want to become anorexic, it is a mental/health disease which people spend years and years trying to get out of but never can! Do you want to die from lack of nutrition? Do you want to look like a walking skeleton!?

I know how bad you want to lose weight, but anorexia is not the right answer. Talk to your doctor about dieting pills that you could take or another route to take.
Believe me, I've seen anorexic people in my school, IT IS NOT CUTE, FUNNY, ENTERTAINING OR ATTRACTIVE!

DONT BECOME ANOREXIC.... I SWEAR TO GOD... DON'T!!!!!!!!

my friend was anorexic until she fainted and had to go to the hostpital. The doctor said she was about 10 minutes away from death because she hadn't eaten anything in about a week. Do you want to risk your life?????????? I will be sooo mad at you if you become anorexic. even if i don't know you, please please please don't do something this stupid.

If you truely want to become skinny, anorexia and bulimia is NOT the way to go. Do something healthier like exercising and eating good foods.

DON'T eat foods that have lots of sugar in them, and fatty substance foods.

Eat fruits, vegetables and such.

There is so much of your body weight that is just water and muscle.

Take up Pilates or Yoga to loose weight! Just by running 1 mile takes off so much calories.

PLEASE... think about what you are risking. YOUR LIFE!! Do you seriously want to end up like my friend, in the hostpital so close to death?

Sure, it seems easier... but its NOT HEALTHY!

please consider what i'm saying.

God bless you, and if my advice doesn't help... please see a counselor or somebody about this.

Okay, please do not go through with your question. First of all, most people don't decide to be Anorexic. It is a serious disorder & not something people just say to themselves one day because they aren't skinny. You cannot just start being Anorexic either. I have an eating disorder myself, so seeing someone wanting this is a bit disappointing.

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Please read that article & read all of it. Get to know what Anorexia is because it is not something you would want & it isn't something you just pick up & go with. It is a serious condition that has to do with someone's mental state. It's mental & physical. This question is almost insulting. It isn't something easy & many people die from these types of illnesses every year all over the world. You need to become more educated on the disorder.
