| | Yay, time for some stupidity from a pro-ana site. (One of Mandi's six billion proana sites, to be specific -- how many of those things does she need?)
Now with pretty colours! Yippie.
01.
Perfection is reached, not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.
- There is no such thing as perfection in the human body. Humans are imperfect by nature. That's just how it is. Regardless, an emaciated, dying body is far from perfect.
02.
Time spent wasting is not wasted time.
- Oh really? Funny, I'd say that anorexia is a huge waste of time. Rather than doing things that actually matter, we spend time making ourselves miserable. Fucking pointless.
03.
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.
- Hah. Sure, being thin and healthy can make you happy, but being emaciated and dying will make you fucking miserable. NOTHING is worse than hating yourself no matter how hard you try to change things.
04.
A moment on the lips, forever on the hips.
- Wrong. A moment on the lips, a while in the body, until you burn it off. Eating well + exercise = no excess fat. Who would have thought?
05.
Thinner is the winner.
- Thinner is the loser, when it comes to anorexia. No one wins. Everyone -- you, your family, your friends, etc. -- suffer when you starve yourself.
06.
You can never be too rich or too thin.
- Hah. Actually, you can be too thin. It causes this little thing called "death".
07.
Hunger hurts but starving works.
- Starving fails. Your body goes into starvation mode, your metabolism shuts down, you become miserable, you die, etc. Hunger DOES hurt, though -- at least they got that part right. It hurts like hell, and isn't worth it.
08.
The flat stomach is nice, but a concave one is perfect.
- A concave stomach is disgusting and a sign that your organs are shriveling. Real perfect, huh? Go with the fit, toned stomach -- you'll like it better, trust me.
09.
You will be tempted quite frequently. You will have
to choose whether to enjoy yourself wholly for those 20 minutes or so that you
will be consuming excess calories, or whether you will despise yourself
cordially for the next three days.
- You're tempted because your body NEEDS food to live. Enjoy yourself for those 20 minutes by eating something healthy, work out a few times a week, and everything will be fine.
10.
Eat to live, but don't live to eat.
- Eating to live means EATING HEALTHILY, not starving yourself to death, jackass.
11.
Quod me nutrit, me destruit (What nourishes me, also destroys me.)
- Oops, too bad this phrase doesn't refer to food. "What I feel I need to get me through life is what is destroying me". AKA drug addiction, eating disorders, self harm, etc. Food nourishes you AND prevents you from destroying yourself.
12.
Most women live their lives in a state of starvation. Why should I be any different?
- Wrong. Most women eat normally. And since eating is what is needed to be alive and not, y'know, dead, why should you be any different?
13.
It's simple: You decide once and for all that you aren't going to eat, and there are no further decisions to make. - Hah, anorexia is never simple. Anyone who thinks it's all just a matter of saying "well, guess I'm done with food" really needs to take a look at some of my older entries.
14.
In the body, as in sculpture, perfection is attained not when there is
nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. - Already addressed another version of this one. Starving yourself = very, very imperfect.
15.
It's not deprivation, it's liberation.
- Hahahahaha. Yeah right. Anorexia is a fucking prison. It's not liberation, it's incarceration. You decide you want to be "ana", you end up trapping yourself in a living hell.
16.
Being normal is over rated.
- Being skinny is overrated. Being healthy is 100% fine, and something all people should strive for.
17.
Food is like art, to be looked at not eaten.
- Food is like... FOOD. To be eaten, not stared at or avoided.
18.
Every time you say no thank you to food, you say yes please to thin.
- Every time you say "yes please" to 'ana', you say "no thanks" to happiness.
19.
You have a choice to make, do you want to be
"Normal" and overweight like the rest of the world, Or do you want
to be unique and be that girl every overweight person wants to be? It's all up
to you.
- Right on, so exercise, eat well and DON'T starve yourself! Be healthy!
20.
I do eat normally: only what is needful for
survival. I can't help it that we live in a piggish society where gluttony is
the norm, and everyone else is constantly stuffing themselves.
- Pfft, you need more than 500 calories a day to survive. The human body needs at LEAST 1200 a day. Otherwise, poof, you're dead.
21.
Think higher of yourself, your too good to put that in your body.
- Think higher of yourself, you're too good to starve yourself to death.
22.
Anorexia is not a self-inflicted disease, it's a self-controlled lifestyle.
- Anorexia is not a self-inflicted disease, it's a horrific mental illness that kills people and destroy lives. No one is the exception to this -- every anorexic suffers, and so do the people who love them.
23.
When I wake, I'm empty, light-headed. I like to stay this way, free and pure,
light on my feet, traveling light. For me, food's only interest lies in how
little I need, how strong I am, how well I can resist, each time achieving
another small victory of the will.
- Anorexia is not 'empty' and 'pure'. Check out the entries I wrote about incontinence, bed sores, hair falling out, etc. Is this how you want to be? A walking corpse?
24.
The difference between want and need is self control.
- No, the difference between want and need is whether or not it's vital to your survival, and FOOD is vital to your survival. You NEED to eat.
I'm getting tired of going through all of these, so I'm gonna pick out the stupidest ones.
30.
I want my collarbones and hips to be as sharp as my mind.
- Hah. Anorexia destroys your mind. Your brain runs off of sugars -- without food, you suffer memory problems (short and long-term), confusion, etc.
38.
Pain is temporary; Pride is forever.
- Anorexia does not equate pride. In fact, it's the opposite of it. You'll hate yourself, your body, your life, no matter what you do. It equates shame, not pride.
44.
Like a plant, surely the body can be trained to exist on nothing, to take it's
nourishment from the air.
- Nope, sorry. Biology, chemistry and physics don't work that way. Your body get its energy from food. That's it. No alternatives.
45.
Feed the soul; let the body fast.
- Feed the soul -- be healthy, exercise and eat. Starving the body is starving the soul.
46.
If you close your mouth to food, you can know a sweeter taste.
- Ah yes, the sweet taste of your body's cells breaking down, releasing their proteins. Mmm. Or the sweet taste of bile, when your esophageal sphincter fails? Wait, bile is bitter and disgusting. The sweet taste of death, then? Oh yes, death sure tastes good. Kinda musty, though.
50.
Thin has a taste all its own.
- Yes, and it's called "Blood". As in the blood that you'll be coughing up daily, due to ulcers and damage done to your stomach and throat. Oh, and your teeth. And gums. And every other fucking part of your body.
51.
Happy or sad, rich or poor, it's better being thin.
- Tell that to a depressed, poor skinny person.
53.
If it tastes good, It's trying to kill you.
- Wait, I thought you morons were saying that thin tasted good? Guess thin will kill you then? Oh, that's right, it probably will!
58.
I'm not yet a winner. I could be thinner. So I must go throw up dinner.
- I'm bored and alone, so I'll go home and write a lame poem. Seriously, these rhymes fucking suck.
73.
Food is the most primitive form of comfort.
- Self-destruction is also a fairly primitive form of comfort.
75.
Blessed are the starving, for they shall teach us not to want.
- Fuck you. Don't use starving countries as justification for your shallowness.
This shit is so fucking stupid. Anorexia is NOT something anyone should aspire to have. It's a slow, painful suicide, not your ticket to happiness. Fat, thin, rich, poor, whatever -- you'll still be miserable. Why the hell do you people want this?
