Does She Look Anorexic?
Recently I posted the following photo on my xanga site.
I linked it on facebook and received the following comment, “Im more surprised how the girl in the picture you used for this blog looks anorexic.”
Does the woman in the photo look anorexic?
Comments (158)
nope!
nope. 2nd!
No she looks normal to me.
Not really….as far as I can tell she looks similar to my body type thing….and I’m definitely not an anorexic. Even if a friend commented that my shoulder blades look like I have a second pair of boobs and my pelvis sticks out when I stand/sit up straight and don’t slouch.
It can be natural to be like that without there being an eating disorder.
nah she looks like a healthy skinny.
Nope.
No.
she looks healthy and attractive
She looks fine. Have they not seen the run way models?
she looks tired
Nah, that ass looks fine.
Not at all.
No. I can see how he would say that since her hip bone is sticking out…but that’s normal when you’re laying in that position.
No. I looked at her arms, and you would think by her shoulder. Nope. I don’t think so.
I’m smaller than she is, and I’m most assuredly not anorexic. That being said, I don’t think she looks anorexic at all.
Oh brother…
No.
comment came from a fat chick, right?
Nope… healthy skinny. Anorexia … is ugly … and ultimately, sad.
No….
She looks like a dude and he looks like a chick. What is this world coming to?
No. Anorexics don’t have a certain look.
I think the shadow on the arm tricks the eye into thinking her arms are thinner then they really are.
The guy looks more anorexic than the girl.
Disregarding the fact that you can’t “look” anorexic (although many anorexics are very thing)…
No. Absolutely not.
I think your profile pic looks anorexic, Dan.
I’ve heard anorexic isn’t a weight but a mental state. Although if you’re going by what most people would think then I can only see that I beleive her arms don’t have enough flesh on them to be “normal”.
No. She’s skinny, but not emaciated.
No.
She doesn’t look unhealthily skinny, just slim.
Not at all.
No.. =_=;
@Xbeautifully_broken_downX - LOL
And no, she doesn’t look anorexic.
Does my body look too thin? Perhaps. When my stomache growls, it freaks me out. It like, my stomache is alive, cries like sliced tomatoe. I hate the fact that I need lungs to breathe. Why do I have two kidneys when we can live with one? Why do bullets kill, even so, ppl find that they are fascinated with guns. Guns kill. Killing is bad. I weigh 135 pounds, that is more than feather weight muscular guys, yet I really am freskin skinny. Im 5 feet five inches. I hate when people treat me like a nonfunctional human being. My dik is anorexic.
I could see how someone would think that. Her arm seems too small for her frame. You can tell she is a healthy weight by her hips/side, but her arm and shoulder look pretty small.
No. I don’t think so.
not really.
hell no.
Manorexia
Not really.
@Uek - that’s exactly what I was thinking
shutup Dan. You’re anorexic.
no. Not even a recently recovered anorexic. Ccome on you can think of something better for a post!!!
@Uek - Damnit! You posted what I was gonna say.
she doesn’t look anorexic at all!
I don’t know if she’s anorexic or not… but she’d look better in my bed.
And then I could get to the bottom of this question and decisively answer it for you. For her sake I hope she reads this and heeds my advice.
she looks really good (: (: that’s why they used her as a model. Your friend maybe overweight so the pic made her feel bad :p
No, but i would prefer more flesh on the guy.
she looks normal. usually people, who tell me that I look too skinny, are fatasses:D
@Xbeautifully_broken_downX - lol best comment so far.
nah, the arm looks REALLY thin, but it looks to me like it’s the lighting.
no way shes healthy
Nope.
Lol. wow, cause you know, people can eye ball others and be 100%. must be a fat chick commenting.
no
No as well as the fact that anorexia is not a look.
you can be skinny without being anorexic
the commenter sounds fat. i’m just sayin.. that may seem cruel and it probably is, but when you go calling perfectly normal people anorexic, chances are your perception is a bit skewed on whats healthy in a way that leads you to obesity.
She looks bony and like she could eat a bit more. Hard to tell with that lighting though. People always look bigger in pictures to me, so maybe she is too skinny in real life.
She doesn’t look anorexic, but she does look too skinny / not healthy. Moreso, she looks like a ‘fat skinny’ – which I notice most skinny girls these days actually are. ‘Fat skinny’ is the type of girl who has no muscle, but is a very low weight. They LOOK skinny, but are still mostly composed of fat because they have no muscle. I have a girlfriend who is like that. She is 5’7″ and weighs 108 pounds – but none of it is muscle, so she looks like a ‘fat skinny’. Her body fat percentage was a 31% last time we checked it. I’m 5’8″ and 160 pounds, yet my body fat percentage is 18% because I’m made of muscle. The girl in the photo looks like a fat skinny. She doesn’t need food, she needs a gym.
Yeah,..she looks anorexic and he looks even worse!! They both look like they could use a good meal!!
@Rob_of_the_Sky - Yes, I agree.
Her arms are very thin but I wouldn’t say she looks anorexic. Her stomach and legs are fine. It’s probably just the photo angle doing that to her arms.
No. You can actually see her looking from the sides.
No
no.
Slender, thin even, and probably healthy because her skin appears healthy.
Nope.
No.
Just b/c her shoulder blades stick out doesn’t mean she is.
She looks fine. But not all anorexics are frighteningly skinny.
Nope!
absolutely not! she looks good and healthy. if this girl looks anorexic, we have more of a health/obesity problem than I thought
She looks naturally thin 2 me.
ZOE
Not at all. Whoever said that is probably a jealous cow.
I am going to agree with the people that said the person that made the comment must be fat. The woman in the picture looks healthy.
She doesn’t look anorexic; it’s just that the light hits her arm in a way that makes it look bony at first glance.
Nah. She has boobs.
She looks fine wth. Who would consider that anorexic?
No. I think the way the light and shadow is showing on her arm played a trick on that person.
In my opinion no she doesnt.
If she looks anorexic, then I do…
she looks fine…
Slim.
Nope.
She looks like a healthy young woman.
I think it’s the lighting…I can tell she has more meat on her bones than those models on the runway.
Speaking of which, anorexic people don’t always look like those thin bony people that are in medical books. That’s when anorexia has finally reached a severe step. Many anorexic people are still normal looking to “chubby”, and it takes a while until they look emaciated. So, this girl COULD be anorexic, and we just don’t know it. >>eyebrow wiggle<<
No…she looks healthy & normal. I’m working on looking more like her haha.
http://ezinearticles.com/?How-To-Determine-Your-Ideal-Body-Weight&id=363215 Skinny doesn’t mean unhealthy. Know your ideal body weight and stick to it. You won’t be fat or too skinny.
She doesnt look anorexic, but I think that lighting makes her arms seem thinner than they are
Anorexics don’t always look different from anyone else. I find it naive that someone can ‘look’ anorexic. Like seriously, there are some people who are naturally extremely skinny, just as some people are naturally extremely heavy. You don’t say “WOW, he looks like a binge eater”, if someone is fat, so it makes sense that you don’t fucking say people look anorexic.
Seriously gross that people think that way.
However, she probably has been photoshopped on her arms.
looks…parfait!
Nope
She’s very thin… annorexic? No.
noo but her underwear looks weirrrd haha
Definatly not looking anorexic to me.
Okay look, no she does not look anorexic by society’s definition(meaning being super emaciated) but chances are you’re not super skinny if you actually are. So for all we know she could be an anorexic but just not be society’s idea of an anorexic. The majority of anorexics are normal sized or larger women. I mean think about it, you hear how many teens and adults are suffering from anorexia/bulimia but when was the last time you saw a walking skeleton?
Food for thought
no, looks normal to me
whoever said that was an idiot because she looks plumb healthy.
she look healthy.
im a thin girl too and you wouldnt believe all the comments i get that i should eat more. or get some meat on my bones. ive heard it all.
no, i wish i looked like that….
Man, was the person who commented jealous? She looks fine. Healthy. Fit.
nooooo
nooooooooo
No, she really dont do it! If you really need, to see the different. Look at my picture, from last year. And you will know, how anorexic look a like…
http://maha75.xanga.com/727805828/starving-your-self-is-a-one-way-ticket-to-die/
No, I don’t think so.
No. There is a difference between skinny and anorexic. She doesn’t look anorexic.
not that i can see O_o
iIf you just look at a glace and not carefully, the light on her arm makes it look like that is completely her arm and not just part of it. I think it was that simple of a mistake, don’t sweat it
good weight for her
Nice to see how narrow minded people are. Being diagnosed ‘anorexic’ means you have a BMI of under 17.5, which is by all accounts really bloody low.
This girl has a normal, healthy and enviable figure.
No, but it’s kinda hard to tell from that picture, since you don’t see her whole body very clearly. She’s definitely thinner than I am, but she doesn’t look unhealthy.
Anorexics don’t have a “look”. They only look deathly thin when they’re, well, deathly thin.
No, she looks fine!
nah
@P_repAIR - lol i was gonna say that about the guy lol
She could be. I mean she is really thin. I think people have a messed up view on what is normal. She probably wears like a size 1 pair of pants. I mean like I am around 120 lbs and 5’5 and I still wear a size 7. I’d probably would have to lose 10-15 lbs to have her narrow things. My BMI would be like 18 or 17….that’s considered anorexic. I mean look how thin her upper arm is! She mostly covered by she could be quite skeletal.
Hah. Not at all. At first her arm does –but once you take a second look and realize there is a continuation of her arm that is in shadow she looks healthy.
Please! If she’s anorexic, then I’m a pregnant cow! Whoever said that felt like a pregnant cow that day.
Nope
I’d have to disagree with some people on here to say that anorexia can have a certain look to it, but is usually noticeable over time (brittle Hair, around the eyes, dry or yellow-y skin…easily bruised. Bulimia is a little harder to detect but can see some of the same symptoms.
She, to me doesn’t look it. Her skin is glowing, her hair looks healthy. The shadows appear to make her rotary look huge in comparison to her arm’s limb…but thats the lighting.
can we please stop using the word “anorexic” as an adjective for someone who is thin?
not everyone who is thin is anorexic. that’s like saying everyone who is overweight has binge eating disorder.
also, the majority of sufferers of anorexia never get to the emaciated
state associated with the disorder; some sufferers are of normal weight
and some are even overweight. you can’t “tell” if someone is anorexic
based solely on how they look.
nope
She looks pretty close to the same weight as me… and people constantly try to accuse me of being anorexic… I eat a normal amount, I just have a metabolism from hell.
No.
Hell no. She looks like someone who cares about her appearance, but she is in no way too thin.
Nah. More like bulimic.
No…?
The lighting is tricking us in believing she is too thin. She looks fine when I tilt my head to the right.
nope, she just looks sex-o-rexic! bahahahahahahahahaa made no sense.
Not a chance. She’s got boobs.
No lol. And I wish people on this damn site would STFU about people being anorexic. WHO CARES! If you like it then do it, if not then don’t. Just shut up about it already.
She looks great. And so does the dude
I know it’s just my active imagination but I see man and woman humping.
Not at all. That is not what anorexia looks like at all, at least not that I’ve seen.
@LifeNeedsProtection - I see an arm. What light are you talking about?
Fine , and comfortable with her man! Leave it that way lol.
Uh….no!
LOL the guy looks skinnier than her, maybe he’s the ‘anorexic’ one.
She’s got bigger bones and is thin so it gives the appearance that she’s kind of gaunt looking. :T
By most standards she’s considered slim.
No. She looks perfectly normal.
I think she just looks normal lol
Healthy skinny :]
@RulerofMasons - I think she speak about, the sunlight on the arm of this girl…
No… She looks my size. So that comment is kind of offensive.
Umm no. She looks pretty healthy to me.
An anorexic with breasts. That would be new.
@BlindSight22 - Why not applying for the position? You never know. But it could be a boar.
Not at all. At first I thought her arm did seem a little skinny, though. But then as I looked at it more, I think the sunlight shining on one part of her arm, while the edge of her arm is still in shadow, tricks your eyes into thinking her arms are smaller than they are.
No, she looks average.
that comment must have came form a HUGE body masssss!
Of course not! But, ya know, everyone who doesn’t look like her MUST be morbidly obese . . .
nope about my size actually, maybe…or I might be an inch smaller. But not anorexic looking.
Maybe compared to most of the huge women in this frighteningly obese society. Personally, however, I think she looks rather healthy, as compared to most of the women in our society.
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL - lmao! same… All my family members are overweight or obese and I was a gymnast so I had to eat like a hog(i mean i ate like a football player.) and wouldn’t gain a lbs. After I had my daughter literally right after, they were all like, you look so much better and healthier… I was thinking in the back of my mind… What the hell do you know about health… you people ask your kids to hand you the remote when it’s 2 inches to far…
i agree with p_repair, the guy looks more anorexic than the chick who looks perfectly normal
Good god. It’s sad these days that everyone is so obsessed with eating disorders – anorexia, bulimia, overeating, bingeing – that a woman can’t be slim without people thinking she’s anorexic. Here’s an idea, maybe she eats healthily and does some exercise once in a while?
Obviously that person has some sort of chip on there shoulder..
She looks fit and healthy.
I think the commenter sought to sway popular opinion to prefer their own body type by being derogatory towards people who have a more preferable body type.
Not at all.
