    Just wanted you to know that "thinspiration" is a term often associated with pro-ana/pro-mia/pro-ED... And, so is that second picture you posted; thus the "please go to bed feeling empty."

    Your thinspiration is quite sad... I think your goal should be to get healthy - the weight loss will come in time with eating right and working out.

    Be careful.... if you starve yourself, it could have long term effects,...including gaining all the weight you lost right back.

    Just say no to ED's!!!

    i mean to some people it might be, but to me it honestly helps. Usually when i'm "hungry" (ie bored) i take my food up to my room, when i see this i know that if i stay with it i can look like that.

    I feel good inside when I treat my body well, fueling it with nutritious and delicious foods, and exercising strenuously, really feeling my heart pumping. It makes me feel strong, confident, empowered, sexy. It might be helpful to talk to someone about your self-image. You are so much more than what you look like.

    Gotcha. :) Just wanted you to know. I'm currently struggling with an ED of some type at the moment. Anyways:

    My "thinspiration". (Keep in mind I'm 16, lol, so, yeah this is kinda what I want)

    Like everyone else said, the term "thinspiration" has fairly negative connotations, and that second photo is part of an incredibly sad tumblr.
    As for my inspiration, frankly, I just want to be healthy, and to end the cycle of being overweight that runs in my family.

    MFP is weird about "thinspiration"...they like "fitspo" better :)

    No worries, like you, I looked at those types of mantras throughout my journey and am no where near Ana or Mia, I like eating! lol They are simply blunt motivators that shock you into some sense, like your 'bored eating' example. Yet, for the weak minded/influential they can be mistaken for reality and used for more than initially intended...i.e. to inspire or motivate someone to put the damn cookie down.

    Best of luck in your goals!!!
