These images don't trigger me at all- not in the slightest or affect my ED. Nor am I again telling people that things they see should not bother them. Nor am I saying that people should live in a bubble. I am talking about people with Ed who go around and actively seek these images out as a way to compare themselves to as an ideal. I don't think that's healthy. And I don't think that everyone with an eating disorder does actively seek them out, and I am not saying you do. But a lot do. I have known people (not me) who cut these pictures out who know they shouldn't be doing this that tape them on their walls to aspire to look like them. It's one thing to complain about how the media handles this stuff, it's another to live by it. And I just don't think that all over it will ever completely change, so I don't see how it is really helpful to advertise such things to people who think this is what they should look like. The media is not a help, but remember, that eating disorders are psychiatric complex disorders, and often, there is a great deal more that causes one to get into that state than pictures in magazines. I guess my issue is that it would just be nice to hear on here more about people's life experiences- family issues, childhood traumas, peer pressure, whatever, and how they triggered their eating disorders rather than always focusing on the media. But if that's the direction that she chooses to go in, that's fine. But I think a little bit more variety and sharing things about people's life experiences could add a lot on here. That's all. I am not full of crap, calling everyone mentally unstable, and pro mia or pro ana. But for those who are, maybe this stuff isn't so good to focus on ALL the time. This is just how I feel, and you are entitled to how you feel too. But I don't see how touching on other angles that affect eating disorders once in awhile could hurt.
