Just found this on the web today. I can't tell if this is serious or a gag, but either way it's seriously mental.

I have a normal body. why? because i don't eat the garbage you americans eat. when i see your sacks of bones you call your bodies, i see the level of depravity this country came to, and one of the reasons is that the sacredness of cooking has been replaced by the ingurgitation of fat and sugar. to stop eating and celebrating it is not only sick, it is devil worship at its most obvious. dont think about eating, think about making with your hands something worth of being eaten.

"The sacredness of cooking"? Ingurgitation? Somebody got a Recipe a Day calendar.

Please explain how "stop eating and celebrating it" is devil worship. It's rather less obvious to me I'm afraid. I'm just too dense to see it.

I'm also curious about your body. You call ours "sacks of bones". Does yours not contain bones? How do you maintain an upright stance?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Hasn't the 'Hardcore Bones' picture under the 'Thinspirationals' already been on this site as a Hoax photo?

The Pro Anorexia discourse is pure Nazism. The difference is that in this case one is one's own camp guard and the starved victim. The insistence on "will" is not so different from the "will" to conquer and subjugate. The obssession with one's own looks is diabolocal and I will explain why:
The devil is not a goat worshipped by satanists, it is the basic lie who snares the mind into identifiying itself with a static image, narcissism. One becomes like a pyramid, grandiose work of the will, housing nothing more than a slowly rotting corpse. the soul of the anorexic is a corpse.

Thank you. I'm now thoroughly confused by your "poetry".

By the way, you didn't answer the "sack of bones" question. I look forward to you're response.

Dear Shyt, you don't become anorexic. It is just the way one is. Most of it comes from being obsessive compulsive or having a problem with needing to have control over something in your life. I don't recommend you try to force yourself to be anorexic. Though I do recommend you lose weight, try not to become obsessed with it. As a person with Ana myself, I am not saying anything bad about people with anorexia, it just isn't for everyone.

I don't know whether or not this site is a hoax. All I know is that the blonde chick on the front page is really hot and has a nice rack.

...So it's just the way you are? Like being born blonde or having an overbite?? I find that a little difficult to swallow.

Fact: Anorexia Nervosa is a diagnosed psychological disorder, in the realm of clinical depression and the like. It's not going to happen to people who are not predisposed to it, and won't heppen unless the right factors set it off. The problem with anorexia is that it is rewarded by society. Take a look at the TV, the "thin is in" mentality is parroted everywhere we look. Unlike depression which has no incentive, anorexia rewards its sufferers with slimmer bodies and more attention from the opposite sex etc.

Fact: The body has certain requirements to continue living. These include but are not limited to protein (9 essential amino acids), carbohydrates, fatty acids, and more. If for some reason your bodsy doesn't get as much as it needs, it starts salvaging parts for daily maintenance from living cells. This weakens the immune system, degrades muscles, bones, and even your central nervous system. Everyone should be familar with the pictures of the African children with the enlarged bellies, that comes from kwashiorkor, a disease that occurs when a person doesn't get enough protein and water end up pooling in the belly. There are serious consequences to anorexia that may not even manifest themselves for years. It all goes back to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."

Opinion: The pro-ana sites have a right to exist, let people fill their brains with whatever they choose to. In my mind the pro-ana sites are no different than freerepublic and others. It's like a child playing peek-a-boo: it's not there if you don't see it. Honestly, I don't care if someone starves themselves to death, that's their choice. I just get frustrated with the fact that tax dollars are spent to combat anorexia, and the afflictees have these uninformed opinions available to them to forget scientific fact and respectable science.

How does the "sack of bones" appear?
A fine teenager, insecure about what to eat or not, insecure about everything, about her changing body, her desires, troubled by the eyes of men, troubled by the saturnalia of junk food thrown at her by that evil screen of the tv set,decides to take control of her life: she will control what will come into her mouth. the control, for one reason or another becomes obssession and turns more severe. The body begins to starve. It begins to eat its own fat, after all the fat is gone, then the muscles are partially consumed and the result is this: a bag of skin over a skeleton with very little padding.
In short, a ruin of a person.
How somebody with such an affliction could wish this to another is beyond my comprehension. That one is so deluded as to think such a curse is a "life-style", that a person could be so callous as to advise another on how to become addicted to the strange cocktail of endorfins generated by a brain trying to cope with starvation, and the other consequences of anorexia, is monstruous. In my opinion, as bad as starving other people.

these sites are kind of odd and especially creepy, being a "hippy liberal" i like to think people can do what they like to themselves but sometimes you feel like you should step in, i think this site is a sorry example of a sad state of a society where there is an obesity epidemic yet thiness is seen as a great virtue,



still, theres allways something messed up anywhere isnt there?

Where are you Ch?

We are facing a fabulous task, which, as matter of fact has began already some time ago; the creation of a new civilization. It will not be radically different from ours in most aspects, but it will be its own kind, with its own set of values. It is a moral imperative and perhaps even a logical necessity, however, that this new civilization be better than the former, that is, more civilized.
This task, at the individual level, consists in two actions: The knowledge of the values and aspirations of this civilization.
Second: The implementation, on the measure of the possible of these values.
Now, my friends, what do you think those values are?

The most important task for boys and girls, right now, is to be good to their parents. It is essencial, that in revolutionary fervor, all children and young people in general, be very kind to their own parents. In the beginning it may be difficult given the defects of some parents, but in subsequent genarations, things may get easier. Once children learn to be kind to their own parents, it becomes much easier for them to be equally kind to their own children later on. And of course, that would facilitate the task of their children as well: lovable peolple are easier to love.
I could go on and on, but I should perhaps write a book instead.

Thanks for your soul moving insight, Jenny. And kindly go fuck yourself.

I just want to clarify...my last comment was in response to what you said to me. As for your last two posts, I just don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Jenny

Your last two comments are short and to the point. You seem to possess a sharp intellect but you do not seem to be sexually satisfied. Beware, lack of sex can make one bitter in the absence of a spiritual life. I will pray for you, and even more intensely to your father, who really need it.
Dont thank me.

I am a member of PS. First of all I just want to say that we do not view this as “a diet” and contrary to popular belief, many of us are not teenagers, nor are we crazed goth-wannabes. We are just us. We are your family, your friends, your employees, your employers. We are engineers, lawyers, stay-at-home-moms, and college students. We are all around, some of us thin, others are not. We are everywhere and if you look you will see us – the 80lb girl with a Diet Pepsi, the 230 lb man who refuses to eat with his family.

It angers me that people, not necessarily the people of this forum, try to shut forums such as Project Shapeshift down. This is the only place we feel safe to just be ourselves.

We do not like to be put into a box and labeled as this or that. This is just a simple plea to view us as what we are – PEOPLE who are trying to find a sense of control in this mixed up world.

So stop analyzing us like lab rats and just let us be.
