Re: I tried that

Hi Willow,

At the end of the day I think it would be better to offend someone by asking than to be contributing to that persons ED.

as usual I agree with you. Anyway, after seeing the person concerned post of her hair falling out in late 2008, plus she has no concern for her health, she is totally concerned about her weight loss only, wants to do more excercise, and is desperately unhappy because she is not losing weight fast enough, nothing else matters etc. I simply had to respond with a frank response here, after someone gave her OP a bad alert (at least someone has their eyes open).

My advice gets totally ignored of course. Now she is posting in a duplicate thread here over on fasting for weight loss. Says she doesn't have the strength to take a bath, for god's sake.

It's sad that most people who want to help are in blissful ignorance of any possible dangers. All they see is the single post of a fellow faster, who is a bit depressed, and they try to help cheer them up, make them feel good, help them acheive their goal. At least on a pro ana or pro mia site both "supporters" and "supported" know what the game is, but here people can hide behind an icon and get what they want to hear when they want to hear it, simply by doing a "please help me" or "I'm a loser" post to get attention or whatever, everytime they are desperately weak, tired, ill, losing hair.
