This is an Eating Disorder inspired Hallowe'en costume that I came across this year.
It's called "Anna Rexia"
This is so offensive. How can people be so insensitive?! I can't believe this is actually for sale somewhere.

If you're interested, there's an article about it here:

(although beware, some of the comments made my blood boil i little!)

    I think people that are not sufferers, or have never know anyone with this disease, just really does not get it....

    I find that so inappropriate. Why someone would name a costume that is beyond me. :ohwell:

    i feel like all we can do is take this with a grain of salt- unfortunately- many people are ignorant and have no idea what a struggle an eating disorder is. take their negativity and make it into fuel for yourself to help others find inner peace!

    well, it IS horrific... Halloween is about scary, horrific things? Not that I'm condoning it. Just saying from the person who decided that it was a good idea's stand point it makes sense.

    Go a step further, go as Bully Mia and cover your face and clothes with vomit and walk around with shipping bags full of food.

    ugh.
