My opinion of anorexic and bulimic people is no different than overweight people, either one will die of health problems eventually. Neither is pleasant to look at. A person can be too skinny, and have bones sticking out, and the other can be too fat and have flab hanging. The difference is, are you dealing with an adult or a child. A child can be disciplined or made to eat, to a point. This article seems to be speaking of adults, people wanting attention. If you want attention become a healthy individual; one who has smooth skin, muscle tone, whose body has a figure,be pleasant to look upon. Or become an actor, singer, or someone who deals with the public on a day to day basis. Our bodies, even though we abuse them, do not belong to us. Our bodies were given to us by God. He gave us since to take care of them, so we may live long happy lives. I am overweight myself, so I really do not have room to talk, but I do understand the struggle of needing to take care of my body. It was a gift.
As far as a picture causing someone to become bulimic or anorexic, I hope not. I believe this to be a choice one makes for themselves. You have to love yourself for who you are not what someone sees or wishes you to be. Eat right, exercise, laugh and love as much as you possibly can, and most of all be happy with who you are, inside and out.
I think some people are kind of predisposed to psych disorders and eating disorders and I can see where images like these could be used to further their issues. What was more disturbing was some of the captions of the photos.I even found a poem dedicated to starving.
