Hey, guys... haven't been around for about a month now, don't know if anyone remembers me Just to let you know, I decided on recovery around that time, and it's going pretty well - three meals a day, freaking out less putting food in my mouth!


Anyway, I wanted to share this. It's seriously amazing.

Good for you ((((Hugs for Adalia))))

I've really been managing to skirt things. Staying underweight, but not dangerously so.

Although, something that happened today made me wonder... some guy came upon me and told me he had a fetish for skinny girls, and how he just loved that he could see hip bones and ribs.

I was like Seriously. Do I really look that thin? That I'm now attracting the freaks?

sorry but that did nothing for me...

I remember seeing that in the hospital. There was another good DVD I saw there about how advertising turns women into objects rather than subjects. If you haven't seen it, I'll try to find the title for you if anyone's interested.

I'm so glad you're doing well, Adalia! I haven't talked to you in ages, and we never talked that much anyways, but I still think about you and your recovery, and hope that you're doing okay. It's so great, better than I can express in words, that you're doing so well. Three meals a day! I hope you keep doing well. I think you will. I know you will. C:

awww, I remember you! So glad you've decided to recover and are doing well. Glad you stopped by to let us know how you are!

Go you, Adalia! You can do it!

Well, this vid explains quite a lot. We women will always be somewhat unhappy with our appearances, but all of these digitally edited pictures are just feeding insecurity.

I find it incredibly ironic that this forum is placed right next to the pro-ana one. Notice also, comparably, how many fewer posters this one has. Very sad.

[Rivka]

Yes, it is very sad that this board has so little traffic. I hope there are more people recovering. Maybe to pro-ana stuff scares them off?

I truly despise that commercial, because that's exactly what it is, a commercial Dove is one of THE most despicable companies ever that teaches young women, girls and older women how beauty is number one on the list, from weight to age to race, if it was available for them to use it to exploit to sell their beauty products, they used it. That video makes me want to vomit. They're just another capitalist commerical whore preying on the female. Yours truly, Pepperjack.
