For example, take a look at these:
tumblr - thinspiration
drop-dead-thin.tumblr
or these...
Basically, it’s a lot of pictures of some very beautiful but very thin women. The two pictures above are what many of us want to be - gorgeous and very slim. I myself find it difficult not to want to be like them, so much so that I feel I should be dieting or at the gym 24/7. Who wouldn't want to be sexy??
But the reality is, is that it’s not always what we think it is.
This is the reality:
IS THIS ATTRACTIVE??
It’s amazing what you can do with Photoshop! But the reality of what anorexia causes is much less glamorous.
There may be nothing wrong with wanting to be thin but what these thinspiration sites do is force people to become anorexic. The amount of rules and tips and images that promote an unhealthy lifestyle is growing!
So, next time you look at the first kind of photo and then remind yourself of the second kind. Anorexia is not pretty!
