    Unfortunately...she looks like she IS past the point of no return. Even if she was hospitalized...once people get down to being THAT thin...their bodies take such a beating, that they cannot ever "bounce back". It's so sad to see her like that, though...so very, very sad.

    Here are some more posts by her... http://candyapple73.conforums.com/in...ts&user=Shadow

    My god...I started crying when I read her posts...

    I have such mixed feelings on these websites... As a nutrition major, It scares me... as a rational person, i feel you can't TEACH eating disorders... however, as a someone who once weighed very little, and had an addiction to laxatives (at a different time), I would have never gotten out of it if it wasnt for sites likes these. My laxative problem was just about 2 years ago, and looking back, it was a scary time. But if it hadn't been for finding these sites, like some others, I probably would have gone off the deep end. But i was able to see what happened when someone took too many laxatives... and what happened if smeone tried ipecac (which i never did).. and I didn't have a group of people telling me I needed to get better... I had people telling me, that when I was ready to admit I needed help, here's where I could go to get it. Unfortunately, it is usually overlooked how much the girls on some of these boards (not all!) support those who choose to seek help, and they encourage girls to find that help in a timely manner. I might get yelled at for this, but I just wanted eveyone to know how I felt, as someone personally familiar with these sites...

    It's "funny" how we all obsess over dropping those last few pounds, even 10 or 15, but oh man, I'd rather have that "sexy" extra cushioning than be disollusioned like those poor girls who are frighteningly thin and still feel fat! I think I'm going to go eat now.

    I agree with you Honey, I read a few posts and there was some positive support to not let yourself get so sickly thin. It wasn't what I expected.

    My older sister is a survivor of Anorexia/Bulemia. It started (a long time ago) when she was 20 y.o. Her heaviest weight, ever, was 117 lbs at 5'2". She thought she was fat and just started dieting to lose 10 pounds. Well, 10 pounds turned into almost 40. She was hospitalized at 80 pounds for 3 months.
    She is healthy today but always battles the temptation and compulsion.

    I was only 14 at the time and it really affected me. Rather than scaring me to never try anything like that it kinda made me curious. So I started experimenting with laxatives and purging. I was fortunate that I never really had weightloss results from it, so the habit died out quickly.

    I've never been hospitalized for my condition, but I was made to go to counseling for several years. For me, anorexia/bulemia was the only thing that gave me a sense of "control" in a completely out-of-control life. I couldn't control my parents fighting and I couldn't control my dad's alcoholism...but I could control my eating. Of course, I started when I was weighing in at around 150...just meant to "diet" to lose some weight, and I got down to 120...my parents finally stepped in and gave me the ultimatum of getting admitted to a hospital or going to counseling 3 times a week. I chose the counseling.

    Eating disorders are more serious than a lot of people truly realize...and I'm sure that if my parents would have known then what they know NOW about eating disorders...they wouldn't have let it get as far as it did. But, who wants to admit that their daughter is slowly killing herself?

    It's the worst kind of "addiction" to have...with food. You cannot live without food like you can alcohol and drugs. It's a constant battle during recovery that food doesn't kill you...or make you fat. I know during my "anorexic" stages, I would cry as I ate. I gagged and I cried for the entire meal...and then I was on the scale looking to see how much I gained. During my "bulemic" stages, it was hard to stop eating at all. Wow...thinking back, it seems like a totally different life. I've learned a lot about myself...and my eating disorder is what got me looking more into foods, so it's been a blessing in disguise. But, I know how hard it is to really let go. Even now, to this day, 13 years later...I still find myself falling into the old "starve/binge" cycles...I have to be totally concious of what I'm doing with my food (or not doing) each day.

    *sigh* My goal in life is to teach my daughter a healthy way of eating so that she will never have to experience this downward spiral.

    Well my friend had a neighbor that was anorexic she went to the hospital and counseling so many times but it didn't changed anything. Her parents said they tried everything (don't know if it's true just reporting what my friend told me) and they gave up they said that they couldn't do anything so they just gave up. She cooks all day but never eat anything ! It must be very hard for the parents.

    VG-- i definitely agree without about teaching kids the right thing... what i went through was the reason I became a nutrition major, and i hope when i have kids they never have to go through what i did... although i was never at a low weight like some people here did, and im glad about that... but i do know, if it hadnt been for a retreat i went on in highschool, it would never have gotten better.... i still remember how huge i felt, and seeing pictures i remember thinking how fat i was, but i wasnt! i was so tiny, and i never realized it until now :/

    wow, I looked at the site...at least they don't support too thin.

    I wouldn't judge the parents without being in their shoes. I'm sure they love their daughter (I don't even know her and I want to take care of her.)

    I saw a documentary about parents caring for an anorexic daughter. They would have to watch her eat....like couldn't take their eyes off her. They had to watch her 24/7 to make sure she ate her food and kept it down.

    i read the whole thing. In it she mentioned that her father beats her!!!

    This is so damn sad. She has been in and out of the hospital many times. She looks to be back up to 75,80 pounds but im guessing she will be in and out of the hospital for the next 5 years or so.
    god bless her I have been there before.... yes (that low) cardiac compromised w/ no audible blood pressure at 53 lbs. It took the hospital threatening custody of me to my parents. And my parents were damn good parents. It doesn't take long for something like this to happen and spiral out of control.

    That site is so sad. I took at look at VG's site she found and that girl is so sad to me. Shes as thin as a rail and still thinks shes fat. Theres so much more to ED's than just the battle with food. I hope that poor girls is getting help to battle her demons.

    I rememeber starting an ED but was never fully blown and diagnosed. I started to see my hip bones, ribs, and spine thinking I was so pretty but still so fat. I was 5'3 and 105-110lbs. Boys didnt like me at that age fat or skinny...so one day I started to pull myself out of it. I didnt want to be admitted.

    I cant imagine others being so deep into their ED that they look like that or have to be admitted. How scary is that?

    Well, I read the thread with those pictures, and I know, that if i posted that and recieved negative responses, it would depress me more, and i would fall deeper into it... i agree, she looks terrible, but if i told her that, she wouldnt think i thought she was too skinny, she'd think i thought she had more to fix... its not always about the weight, for me, it was because i could lie to my family, my boyfriend, about what i was eating... i was doing what i wanted, and for the first time, no one could tell me no... it was amazingly liberating, and that was the problem...

    Honestly, I hate these types of threads. It's extremely hard for the person who's had the ED to explain, and it's too hard for the person who has never had it to fully understand.

    The girl in the picture is thin, yes. But girls with eating disorders can die at ANY weight. I've been anorexic since age of 11, and bulimia started when I was 13. My lowest weight, at 5'8" was 103, my heighest has been 163.

    March 2005, at 148 pounds the doctors told me I would die if I continued what I was doing. Binging and purging 12 times a day, working out everyday for 2 hours, taking stomach twisting combo's of drugs-prescription and not.
    At the age of 18, I was terrified I was going to die of a heart attack, with my head in the toilet.
    I did not check into treatment like they highly reccomended. I walked out of the hospital and started stripping the next night. I could not afford the $1,200 a day cost that comes with treatment. I do not have insurance. I do not have wealthy parents.

    I have not recovered. I am not "better". My eating disorder is simply "maintained" until I can't maintain it anymore. What happens after that, I don't know.

    Do not blame the parents. There is nothing they can do. If the individual does not want to get better, no amount of treatment will help. I've been there, I've felt it, I've seen it. Strapping a 50 pound girl down to a bed and force feeding her is does not make her better.

    Insurance plans often don't cover enough treatment. They will often pull out 1/3 through the girls hospital stay. Just because she checks into a hospital, gains a few pounds, stops puking for a few days/weeks, does not mean she's better. At all. Far from it.

    "Recovery" can actually be the most dangerous part of the eating disorder. Your body is not used to being fed. The heart is extremely weak. Heart attacks are most likely to happen then, when the body goes into shock.

    Do not blame the websites. You can not "catch" an eating disorder like you do a common cold. It's a mental illness. Some girls try, they think it's cool, and are extremely "pro-ana" but these usually fade out after a few weeks when they realize starving/puking their guts out is not as glamourous as they thought.
    But for those of us "in the trenches, fighting" so to speak, we are very very alone. You can not imagine how lonely it is, to be trapped inside your body while your trying to destroy it. We need all the support we can get. For the most part, family and friends don't understand, can't understand. We feel doctors are against us. We are so isolated. If we can find solance in a website, in an online group of people who are going through the exact same thing, that's fucking great. We need more of that. Most of use are not going to recover. Some of us are going to die. And the ones that walk away, that "get better" do not walk away unscarred. Complications, the damage you've done to your body, is there forever.

    Most of us will get sick and then well, and then sick and then better, and then ever sicker, and sicker, and then okay. It's a constant up and down war that we fight every single second, for the rest of our lives.

    Don't judge, please. It takes more then telling a thin, anoretic girl she's "too skinny" to make her better.
