I couldn't access this video, and thankfully so! I can only say that millions of children die each year in poor countries because of lack of food and medicine and nturition, when food becomes available they are re-fed and do not develop a fear of gaining weight, so why in the civilised western world does thinness become so appealing? xxxxxx

i know one of them and they are in the hospital with a j-tube now b/c they can't digest food on their own.

I'm not doing well, emotionally today.

I cried during it. It reminds me of myself too... Never being good enough, the constant struggle...

Wow! I'll bet I'm not the only one who couldn't help but look at a few of the other thinspos on there.
There was only the one picture on there that did anything for me, it was the girl flexing her tiny bicep muscle. Mine's about the same size, but stringier looking!
Trying to increase my Cals without b/p-ing to get a bit more "shapely."
Fane's right though, it's ridiculous that this mental illness we live with focuses on something as nonsensical as the desire to be virtually skeletal, when there are sane people in the world who would give anything not to be starving to death.
Do they feel the same desparate need to control something in their lives? And if they do, what do they do about it? x

I can't watch the video. I know my li mitations. so I donh't know what the video is about but from the commments I can make iferences. I don't know how to respond to the question about what do they try to control? For that is what it is anyway. control. the weight issue is the symptom for me not the inherent problem. I have a thinking problem. no matter what I way it is never the correct number. I feel very out of control. I used to feel so powerful not eating and it is not working aanymore yet I can't stop. I keep feeling more out of control than ever.
