Why do some people think anorexic thin is attractive?

Answer 1

To many people, being thin is equal (at least in their minds) to being attractive. To those who follow popular media and fashion, almost all magazine adds, runways shows, models, TV show characters, and celebrities are thin or on the thinner side of average. And almost all of them are generaslly regarded as being successful or attractive. The idea then comes across that being thin will lead to a similar life style.

I am some one who came very ill by trying to be anorexic thin i think people are lucky if they are naturally that thin but if you ain't then don't try to be it wrecks your insides I'm 14 and now have a chance of never having kids, i can't eat in-front of people and my insides have shrunk and i have the same portions of food as my little brother who is 3
=(

Models have a lot to do with this problem. Many clothes designers believe that their clothes hang better on abnormally thin models, which may make normally-sized women try to make themselves thin as well so that they can look good (allegedly) in the clothes. So-called celebrities jump on the band-wagon and spread the message that the less you eat, the better person you are. 'Thinness' becomes an obsession for its own sake, and, frighteningly, even affects young children (see the answer above, for example). Anyone who can see a walking skeleton and think he/she looks attractive has been brainwashed by the media.

I disagree that people are 'lucky' if they are 'naturally anorexic thin', and it is a dangerous argument. People are lucky if they are fit and healthy and have a positive attitude to food and to their own body. Neither being seriously underweight nor being seriously overweight is healthy.

If the idea of anorexia tempts you, learn from the awful example of the young woman above. Eat good healthy food in appropriate quantities; take plenty of exercise in the fresh air; get the right amount of sleep; learn to love yourself as you are instead of hating your body. You are unique. Spend time with people who value you. Stop obsessing about your appearance; turn your thoughts outward, find interesting things to do to develop your talents, find people who need your help and help them. Forget about how you look, and your health and happiness will make you look beautiful.
