I try not to blame my eating disorder on anyone or anything but myself. However, if I really think about it...the media has had some part of it. I know that I've been influenced by it, because it's so easy to be. All you have to do is turn on the TV and after 5 minutes you will see TONS of hot and THIN women. You hardly see average weight woman on television...they are almost always thin. The media potrays thin as a must...if you're not thin you are constantly critisized...what else are you to think? I don't even know if I answered your question...but in conclusion I have been influenced by the media because they constantly pound into your head : THIN THIN THIN.

i was diagnosed with anorexia when i had just turned 11. and thinking back on it now, i really don't see the media playing a huge part in me developing my illness. i remember my science teacher in 6th grade. who told our class that all kinds of fats and carbs were bad for you, and that they would eventually make you fat. i took that to heart. that definately did not start my eating disorder, but it is one thing that triggered me all that much more.

sorry, i'm not much help.

<3 you.

i screened your comment when you added me, because i didn't want everyone to read about the ed thing. i actually don't believe i have one, rather that i'm very concious and aware of my weight. i'm a little eccentric and drastic, i've gone days without eating, but i binge, to make other people think i'm really, really ok. sometimes i'm so preoccupied with it, and other times, very short times, i'll lay off it and not think about it terribly a lot. :-/ i think, if anything, eating isn't my only problem to be considered as a problem, or more seriously; disease.

anyways, i don't know if that will help. thoughts or comments on anything i said? what are you focusing on, for the project?
