Health Risks and Mental Effects

[beautifullypossessed]

Me too, it's good for people to know all this stuff, but I know for me it didn't really clue in fully until it started happening. But hopefully it will turn people away from Ana/Mia and help them see that their diseases not diet fads.

Yeah, same for me. That's why I wrote it, hopefully the people that come here looking for tips on how to starve themselves or purge will realise how dangerous these diseases actually are.

This is great. Thanks for writing it. The next time someone comes on here asking for tips (like that moron yesterday who actually got mad at us for not sharing our "successes" so she could be thin and beautiful too...Jesus Christ) we should give them the link to this thread and say "here's the official list of Ana/Mia tips & tricks! <3"

This is great, thanks for writing!

But I have a question that's been bothering me for a long time - is infertility final? I mean, are you able to gave kids, after recovering of course, even thou you had anorexia?

For some people (do they call them "wannarexics" ?), it might scare them away, and for some, this list doesn't sway them at all. I remember researching about anorexia and bulimia to see if I could diagnose myself and coming across similar lists and by then, I was too deep in to care about the consequences. I only cared about being thin.

I think this thread is for people like me who want to talk about their frustrations without being surrounded by everyone else who is onset with recovery. I mean I feel horrible for wanting to restrict and binge, even knowing what will happen to me. Some people just aren't ready for recovery, and I'm glad that this forum is here.

This needs to be here, thankyou for posting. These pro ana/mia girls need to know what there getting into. I would love to not be ana, but have learned to be ok with it since it has controlled me for almost 20 years.

Sorry I'm so so late replying, I don't normally check this section of the forum! Well one of the common side effects of prolonged starvation is the loss of your period (if you're a girl obviously), however it is also quite common for your period to return once your body has been restored to health, and therefore you would be able to have children unless there was another issue. But I think that once a doctor has declared you infertile there is virtually no chance of you becoming pregnant, if that makes sense? At least that is to my knowledge how it works, so sorry if I'm wrong xx

Maybe I'm weird but when I was anorexic, I hardly ever got that hungry and when I did, it seemed to go away after awhile. The problem I had was I was always thirsty so would down litre, after litre of diet soda.
