    Sorry guys I'm not pulling any punches today. I just had a former ana member from my list FR me all "gee IDK why my account is blocked...please add me pretty please..." and creeped to find disturbing photos of her, her skin stretched friends AND a pregnant girl boasting about weights that are only appropriate for like a 5' nothing person. I HOPE she is just that shirt, but odds are not in that favor.

    The OTHER one I'm dealing with is a girl ON my FL who is all, " OMG, I almost fainted today and got dizzy/blinded, and like does this happen to everyone when you are liquid fasting? *giggleshrug* *blink blink* *wide eyes*

    I know a 1200 cal goal is not exaclty like starvation but it really and truly is not the goal for everyone. Only very short, very sedentary people.

    I am betting dollars to donuts the two stories I just relayed are not even hitting that mark. It's just that eating under your cal level too consistently starts messing with your brain and then leads to lower and lower cal intake so...better not to even start down that road, no?

    Oh good god please tell me that has massive photoshop done to it. I mean I'm pretty sure that has to be shopped for her to be alive.

    OP your goal weight is 120 pounds. I hope you are 5'2 and not like 5'8.

    Thought so too but google it. It seems to be pretty close.

    If you look up pictures of her without makeup she looks pretty much like this. Major surgery.

    Did you even read the article?

    The conclusion is not that 1200 calories is okay. The conclusion is that there is no state of 100% metabolic shutdown known as starvation mode.

    Reading comprehension. Try some!

    Okay I get how you can have plastic surgery to change your face or augment the size of your bust or lipo away some fat but how the hell do you "surgery" into an unnatural waist size like that? Did they put some bailing wire on her insides and cinch it tight like an internal corsette?

    Quick OP, say your title was supposed to be "1200 calories maybe isn't okay and here's why" but you can't edit it.


    ETA: You still wouldn't be right but less wrong. Now, for kitties:

    aaww...I love kitties :love:

    I wonder if it's kind of like how (and I can't remember if it's Japan or China) but some women used to bind their feet to make them smaller. It was incredibly painful

    You can surgically have ribs removed. I don't know if she personally had it done, but some women have their last two ribs surgically removed to attain an unnaturally small waist.

    I desperately want to make this. Not eat it, but make it...
