Magersucht ist gar nicht so schlimm, man muss sich halt einfach daran gewöhnen. Ich weiß das, denn ich habe zehn Tage nichts gegessen und fühle mich großartig. Nicht nur das, ich habe sogar Gewicht verloren.

Tag EINS: Gegen ein Uhr mittags merke ich, dass ich mich auf dünnes Eis begebe. Ich verhungere JETZT schon. In der Spüle liegt noch etwas Reis, der verführerisch riecht.

Tag ZWEI: Ich träume von Kambodschanern, die mit Messern an einer Wasserleiche herumschnibbeln. Als ich das Bett verlasse, werde ich beinahe ohnmächtig. Mein Atem schmeckt nach altem Mann und meine Zunge ist ganz weiß. Als ich abends eine Party in einer Gegend verlasse, in der ich mich eigentlich ganz gut auskenne, fühle ich mich buchstäblich benebelt und verlaufe mich.

Tag DREI: Ich verbringe den Tag mit Fernsehen und Körperpflege. Ich räume auch meine Wohnung auf. Ich bin eigentlich keine unordentliche Person, deshalb beschränke ich mich auf das Sortieren meiner Kräuterteesammlung. Leute rufen an, um mit mir wegzugehen, aber ich geh nicht ans Telefon, aus Angst einen neuen Anfall zu kriegen. Ach, ich hab was vergessen. Gestern, als ein Türsteher mich angeschrieen hat, hab ich geweint.

Tag VIER: Ich sehe vier weitere Filme. Ich verspüre keinen Hunger mehr. Ein wohliges Prickeln fährt durch meinen Körper, durch meine Brust und in meinen Kopf. Ich bin so glücklich!

Tag FÜNF BIS SIEBEN: Ich bin nicht zu erschüttern. Die Leute können sagen, was sie wollen, es ist jedes Mal so: „Hier bin ich, mach ein Gesicht wie ein Mannequin und ihr könnt mich nicht aus der Ruhe bringen!“ Außerdem bin ich verdammt dünn geworden und rosa wie ein neugeborenes Baby. Ich schlüpfe in ein Paar Wollhosen, die ich mal mit 18 geschneidert habe. Bei der Arbeit bemerke ich die ganzen Schönheitsfehler an meiner Kolleginnen. Sogar die Dünneren haben einen unförmigen Arsch.

Tag ACHT: OK, scheiß drauf, ich werde sterben. Ich sehe aus wie Dreck. Mein Boss benutzte in einer E-Mail die Formulierung „um Himmels Willen“ und ich schrie so laut ich konnte: „Sie Arschloch!“ Ich falle hier auseinander. Bitte, ich bin so hungrich. Bittä, un ich will wassu essen. Alles wüade helfn.

Tag NEUN: Ich bleibe heute zu Hause, ich fühle mich nicht danach, zu arbeiten. Ich laufe drei Meilen. Ich probiere Kleider an. Ich bin schon nicht mehr so fett, aber ich will mindestens 20 Pfund verlieren. Ich kaufe eine Waage: 14 Pfund verloren. Scheiße. Ich werde magersüchtig bleiben.

Tag ZEHN: Um Mitternacht presse ich sechs Orangen aus und trinke den Saft im Stehen. Dann lutsche ich das Fruchtfleisch aus der Presse. Bis ich ins Bett gehe, habe ich zwanzig Orangen gegessen. Mein Arsch platzt gleich. Magersucht ist cool und alles aber ich muss einfach essen, euch alle. Ich sein hungrig!

anorexics really get pissed when you joke or make light of anorexia (or whatever the author was doing)? if you can really not eat for that long, can't you not be a big pussy about it?

and what's all this talk about pain and more work involved than just fasting? what are you guys-fucking martyrs?

This shit is absolutely fucking RIDICULOUS. You can't be anorexic for a week. Anorexia is a fucking DISEASE, not something to be "experimented" or played around with. You're an asshole.

hey in case you didnt know, most anorexics eat...some limit to 800 cals, some to 200...periodically we go on fasts, just like you did. so just like Milly said, you just fasted and did not truly experience anorexia. to experience anorexia you wouldve felt a lot more pain than just hunger.

anorexia is not "Not wanting to eat"
Its wanting to eat but being too scared too...

I really have to say, my friend sent me this website, and I have never been more disgusted in my whole life. I myself struggle with somewhat "disorderly eating", and let me tell you something. I could not believe reading this. Apparently you think this is some sort of game, a good way to lose weight. All you did was not eat, not eating does not equal anorexia. This whole thing makes me so effing mad. You want a real eating disorder? Its a mental hell everyday. You can't just stop after a week and say " Oh I did good, I lsot weight I think I'll stop now." That is not anorexia! That is insanley crazy. Why dont you read the stories of girls who have died from anorexia. Its not a game. Its not "Oh Im not eating this week" Its a constant hell. Why dont you think about how much you want to screw up your life and hate yourself the next time you decide to "become anorexic". Because let me tell you, anorexia is a mental disorder. Not a game.

That's fasting, not anorexia... Fasting is the act of abstaining from food, anorexia is a mental condition. Don't try to act like that was anorexia, you jsut bloody fasted, anorexia is abotu so much much much much much more than that... Get a clue, please.

I will throw you in the same group as that meat gazer in an issue that said latin girls are gross. A real man can look at any woman and find some beauty in them. Trapped on a desolate island you would fuck your mom or brother in less than week.
Eat right and treat your body right and you will be alright. Stop being so self absorbed that you don't eat, or work out until you look like my He-man blow up doll. Jesus.

Come fai ad iniziare un articolo con un tema cosi delicato con la frase:
L’anoressia non è difficile comE credi,
e poi lo chiudi con:Mi sento ingrassare. L’anoressia è OK
ma va... secondo te cosa resta nella testa d'una persona che ci si trova dentro oppure che sta pensado di diventarlo, posso sembrare il moralizzatore, ma non me ne frega penso che sei una mooooolto superficiale, l'esperimento è ok ma un po piu di ricerca prima di scrivere un articolo del genere no eh?
Meglio quello della bulimia (come è scritto)
spero tanto che ora fatte un po le prostitute e ci raccontate come è farsi un 40 uomini al giorno con un pimp che vi picchia :)

well, i liked this article alot, but it really wasn't so much about anorexia as it was fasting. Anyone can go on a fast, and its actually really good for you, it cleans out the toxins in your body and it can add years onto your life. After the 3rd or 4th day all of your hunger is diminished so its no suprise that she could last 10 days. Great job.

how do oranges make your ass spread? all you really need to do to stay "fit" as the brits say, is 3 squares: grain and skim (ie:cereal and skim milk), any but ONLY greens for lunch (best example; just an apple and water), and anything you'd want for dinner in good portions (since dinner is making up for the essential calories you cut out during the day). and gyms are for yuppie friutbags; all the real excersize youd need can be found at home. 60 to 120 sit-ups and 30 pushups a day may seem a bit "no fucking way", but if you perform them in a relaxed cadence where you allowed yourself rest and breathing time, youll be more than suprised at how you just inherently shaped yourself. you'll get that heroin sheik look without all the homlessness and pouty faces. and whats more you'll stay thin to very thin to critical thin while gaining all the calories YOU WILL NEED to function. how do you think africa does it?

"I hate fat chicks. Guys who like them are one step away from being gays."

Let's see...skinny chicks: no tits, no ass, look like 10 year old boys. Fat chicks: huge tits, huge ass, huge hips.

And guys who like fat chicks are the gay ones? Go fuck a little boy, cockmonger. That's obviously what you're really looking for.

But seriously, I am attracted to whatever is fit and skinny for the person as far as size goes, fat lumpy cellulite asses are not attractive. The perfect size and shape differs from girl to girl, but skinniness is ALWAYS a good thing"

If you are into having really bad breath, rotting teeth, an increased risk of having fucked up children, poor mental health, grey skin and most of all, if you really, really HATE your family/close friends then yes, this is for you.
