Anyone inspiring to be 100lbs or lower?

Everyone is freaking out about her height and weight, but nobody has seen her frame. I have a wide ribcage and pelvic bone, so based on my skeleton I will never be as slender or thin as models on T.V., nor dip below 120 lbs without being unhealthy. Perhaps she has an extremely narrow frame, and 105 lbs is her natural weight. Please stop judging her based solely on her height.0

As someone who once had an ED, I would like to say that I weigh less now than I did then and I eat 1600 cals a day (minimum). I am healthier, I am stronger, I feel loved, I love myself, and I am MUCH HAPPIER than I was back then.
Also, as someone who used to have an ED, I know how easy it is for people with EDs to work eachother into frenzies of starvation and competitiveness in extreme dieting. Makes me incredibly sad to see it happening here on MFP and to see teens using MFP in this manner.
I saw that one lady on here who said she was happily maintaining at 99. I'm not into juding people's bodies, but I will say her picture didn't strike me as looking incredibly unhealthy- so let's not bash people for their weight/fitness goals. But OP's "eating isn't chanel" and putting herself out there as having an ED and looking to lose 15 lbs is very VERY alarming.

My eating disorder began when i was only 11 years old .. i always wanted to be thinner. Several hospital admissions and being force feed, watching my dad crying by my side and nothing mattered except being thinner. I'm now 34 and only just now beginning to get a grip on my life. I went from being anorexic to bulimic. I know this doesn't matter to you but it really does ruin your life ..... but of course you will believe that that would never happen to you and you as you are in control .... sadly you only know the truth when its too late.
take care xxx0 -
and, also, y'all trigger other people with ED issues with this stuff. I think it's irresponsible to be posting and supporting EDs. Let's support health, not slow suicide via self hate.0

I think I'll judge on the fact she posted a heart next to the words "ednos for 3 years" in a thread asking who had an ED. To me that just says everything. She wants to be that ill. It's not about what's right for her body frame or anything else, she's encouraging her own destructive behavior.0 -
Thank you.

The longer it stays up, the more people are going to be added to her friends' list. That's all she wanted. More attention from the ANA group here. This will work for that.0

Exactly!
You need to seek help that you aren't going to find here.0 -
Strong healthy bones are beautiful. I love my bones to show in a healthy way. In ballet the dancer must be strong lean all bones and lean muscles.
Strong healthy bones are great but the OP appears to be pro-ana and anorexia can result in loss of bone density - doesn't sound very healthy to me.0 -
Just report her profile as a possible pro-ana profile the mods will look into it and delete it if warranted. I already have.0

Well said.0 -
ugh. The gilr I said didn't look too unhealhty is talking in another forum about how she is scared to eat more than 1000 lbs because she might get fat.
FAIL.
(your very cells need calories to funciton)
What's ANA??
*edit* i did totally mean 1000 cals,. not 1000 pounds. She'd be wise to not want to eat 1000 pounds a day

Pro-ana refers to the promotion of the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. It is often referred to simply as "ana" and is sometimes personified by anorexics as a girl named Ana.[1] The lesser-used term pro-mia refers likewise to bulimia nervosa[2] and is sometimes used interchangeably with pro-ana.0 -

Short for anorexia. There's a whole language ANA/MIA is anorexia/bulimia....There is a whole subculture of them here.0 -

That's ridiculous. Right up there with NAMBLA.
Well, more protein to feed my muscles, I suppose

This tread is going to blow up.....
I can see it. Lol.
Agreed.... Of course you can't come onto a fitness/health announcing EDNOS as an inspiration. People are really going to express their opinions on this one.
Trolling? Because surely someone can't be that oblvious to think people wouldn't take issue. If she is serious, I'll just say this; I've been there, it's horrific. You'll be miserable and ill. Sure, don't believe it and don't listen, but it's ABSOLUTELY true - your brain won't have the capacity to be anything but miserable, confused and depressed. It's science. You'll lose the fat, you'll lose the muscle, but you won't be happy because you'll start losing your brain cells too. I understand the overwhelming need to stay on your chosen goal but I truly hope you get some perspective, and at the very least have the good grace not to encourage disordered behaviors on a HEALTHY EATING site either. Sure my goals aren't always logical or healthy, but that's why I'm here, catch me on a bad day and I could easily get wrapped in this. MFP shouldn't be a place for triggers.
Sorry, rant over. I don't mean to sound harsh. And I hope that one day you'll see past defining yourself by double digits.
Either trolling or she needs serious psychiatric help. I hope it's trolling.0 -
Hoping to find people who are aiming for the same sort of weight goal as me.
Add me.
Okay there's a lot of Chinese whispers going on here!!
I'm NOT 'asking other to 'join me'
I'm not 'unhealthy'
I'm not 'pro-ana'
And I'm not underweight.
People are reading other comments and misleading others!!
All I wanted to know was if there was anyone else who wanted to be 100lbs or lower, whatever your height!
Just asking.
So much drama over a simple question..
(And yes, I did mean 'aspiring' not 'inspiring'.)
Underweight: you said you are 5'5" and before you locked your page it said you weighed 115. BMI =19.1 Not underweight.
Your goal is 100 lbs. BMI would be 16.6. Underweight. You aspire to be underweight.
You asked if anyone else has the same goals and to friend you- this could be interpreted as asking others to join you.
The pro-ANA thing is where I think you have a problem. You admit you have an eating disorder (NOS, of course). But you want to LOSE 15 lbs to BECOME underweight. And your inspiration (which I saw when I looked at your page) was to see bones. Your quote, which I saw when I looked at your page, said something about eating not being chanel. So...well, sorry hon. It looks pretty pro-eating disorder to me.
..which only pisses me off because eating disorders ruin lives of people I love. And because I struggled with it myself. And because it's so incredibly unhealthy. And frustrating to see. And if any of the little girls I know are influenced by people who promote EDs, I will go on a rampage of fury unlike no other.
That's all. 0 -
it should be locked by admin soon....they locked mine because i was eating only 600 calories and I was in no way asking anyone else to do it. This person is asking others to follow her...smdh, seeing every bone in your body is not pretty, just as seeing an 600 lb woman or man isn't pretty and neither one is healthy.
At no point have I EVER 'asked other to follow me'.
Please don't ever accuse me of something like that.
I was only asking if there was anyone else. You can't even ask simple questions anymore..0 -
I'm locking this until I have some input from the admin team
