If we knew we could go and offer valuable wisdom about beauty only being skin deep.
Or laugh and point, whichever takes ones fancy.

Anorexia DOES make you look better. Bulimia on the other hand doesn't because your teeth go funny. But Bulimics purge because they don't have enough will power to starve so it's as close as they can get to anorexia.
As noted by the German swine, "better looking" is objective*. Anorexia is unhealthy, it's basically outright starving yourself; that isn't good for you, your body needs nutrients and vitamins. Starving deprives you of these and it also is especially harmful to your digestive tract in the long term. Seriously, don't by into that nonsense of starving yourself for beauty.
If you want to lose weight to "look better", go on a proper diet and regulate what you eat and the amount of calorie you take in; eat healthy foods.
* Marilyn Monroe was around a size 12; she used to go down a few sizes for movies (her method was colonics), but still she was considered a "sex symbol", by today's standards though, she'd be "overweight" and not sexy.
let me just say that both bulemia and annorexia are terrible. Its good so many can laugh about it 🙂.
What I've always found interesting is how prevelent curvy and full bodied women are in pornography and mens magazines, however, in womens magazine's, the chicks are thin as a rail.
There seems to be a total disconnect between what men find sexually attractive and what is being dictated through female oriented publications as sexually attractive.
The same phenomena is being seen in mens publications where huge muscly bulging men are being shown as sex gods, whereas women will normally be more physically attracted to smaller (but still buff) men. Disorders where an individual has a misconception about their body image are called "body dismorphic disorders", and until recently had been almost unheard of in men. Steroid use is up very much because many men are now suffering from a BDD, and feeling they are too weak and feeble. [Its thought that this might be due to the increase in wealth among women and thus they have more ability to determine their mates, so men feel more pressure to compete with eachother].

Does anyone think it's even slightly strange that the woman who has written this book has NEVER had an ED?
I'd venture most people studying aids don't have the disease
While it may intuitively seem like it would be good for someone to have that background (and in some ways they may have important perspectives that people without an ED wouldn't have), people have a notorious way of being very biased when it comes to things that they are emotionally involved with.
The further extension of this is that, in a scientific sense, it wouldn't matter, since proper and good research will yeild the same results regardless of the background of the person doing it.

**** you, *******, I was going through all EDs on dictionary.comI should use ****ing urban dictionary in the future, it's just better.
In reality, "ED" is Erectile Dysfunction, I am sure you're well versed in that disorder though, Mr. Softy.
You really should have used your large bulbous head to figure what she meant by "ED" though, considering the thread start mentions "Eating Disorder".
P.S. **** YOU TOO!

AIDS and Anorexia are at two totally different ends of the spectrum when it comes to research. A cure could be found for AIDS but ana is a mental disorder which happens to affect your body. You can't understand it until you've experienced it.
