The only person who can cure it is the sufferer themselves. They have to find something they really want to in their life which means they need to be strong and healthy.
This isn't always possible. I was lucky.
This also goes for boys/men who have to muscle up just to be accepted etc.
It is such a shame.
She actually looks like a walking skeleton.
All the people think suggest anorexia could be cured by the sufferer "just deciding to eat" should watch that video.

I remember the thread. Such a shame, she was quite beautiful before.
I'm sure you didn't mean it this way, but surely the shame is that her life has been ruined by her illness, not that she's no longer 'beautiful'?
If she hadn't been beautiful it would still be a shame.

This was her twitter account.

True, hence me saying I'm sure you didn't mean this way.
I know what cjsmummy was meaning, we have an Eating Disorder ward at work, the girls on it are just walking skeletons, it's so sad to see. In their bedrooms their walls are plastered with photo's of family and friends and a lot of themselves too, all those girls were beautiful, the shame is they don't see it that way, all they see or saw is ugliness.
Oh. Even though I've seen it before it still made me cry.
She is an adult woman who made a video with a serious intent. Yes, people might 'gawp' for the shock value, but that doesn't make it disrespectful to watch. It is quite shocking that she has had so many emails from people wanting to know 'how she did it' so they can do the same.
I thought of littlemunchkin when I saw this thread.
This woman made the film in order for people to 'gawp' at it and hopefully learn something from it. So, I'm not sure what your point is.
Why shove it on here unless it's to see a walking skeleton. Same as the Siamese twin thread. You might have a caring attitude but most of the time people put items like this on DS for their shock value. It's as I once said before, freak shows are outlawed but we still need our fix these days and get it from things like this while pretending it's 'human interest'.
So sad
littlemunchin's twitter, all jokey and positive, then that last tweet about not having the energy any more, is really heart breaking.
Or let me guess, you've previously seen posters jokingly posting about their mock "outrage" so you're now trying to play to the crowd?
