I would rather be the size I am (which is small, I've had people asking me my whole life if I have an eating disorder) than to be curvy or anything. There are many, many really beautiful heavy girls and curvy girls, but personally my ideal body type is pretty skinny.
I get pretty fucking sick of hearing about how skinny girls are nasty, because some people are just naturally like that. Just because a girl isn't naturally skinny, doesn't make it right to ridicule them. I don't think enough people in the world really understand eating disorders. I don't think enough people in the world understand mental illness in general.
If I'm too skinny for your taste, keep it to yourself and don't tell me to go eat something. It pisses me off because that's not something you should even say to a person with an eating disorder if you truly care about them. Not that I have an eating disorder, obviously. But yeah, some people need to read a little a learn some things.
Anyways, pro-anorexia is triggering for people with eating disorders, and people who aren't happy with they way they look. People go to these sites looking for a disorder, not realizing what a serious illness an eating disorder really is. Not that it makes it healthy or right or anything, but serious eating disorder boards don't allow people looking for disorders to join or see what they're even writing about. They're still an awful form of support group though, although an actual eating disordered person probably wouldn't try to convince someone to not go get treatment.
