Barack Obama’s Nanny State : Pro-Ana
Dear Friends
This is America, we live in freedom. This ain’t communist China! Nobody has the right to dictate us anything. Nobody has the right to tell us to wear a towel on our heads and nobody has the right to tell us what or how much to eat.
I am a great supporter of the Pro-Ana movement, not because I am one of them nutballs myself, but because I have the firm believe that sicknesses like that cure themselves. Anorexics are curing themselves by starving themselves to death. God made it that way. And nobody has the right to interfere.
Thin Commandments
1) If you aren’t thin, you aren’t attractive 2) Being thin is more important than being healthy 3) You must buy clothes, cut your hair, take laxatives, anything to make yourself look thinner 4) Thou shall not eat without feeling guilty 5) Thou shall not eat fattening food without punishing afterwards 6) Thou shall count calories and restrict intake accordingly 7) What the scale says is the most important thing 8) Losing weight is good, gaining weight is bad 9) You can never be too thin 10) Being thin and not eating are signs of true will power and success
God gave her free will.
So, all you parents out there, just cut it out! God gave your child this perverted sickness, maybe as punishment for you ’cause you weren’t praising him enough. Either way you ain’t have the right to force your daughter to eat. Remember it won’t work anyway, you can beat your daughter and you can scream at her until she comes to the diner table, you can even force her to swallow the ham, but you can’t stop her from throwing up. All you can do is pray to the Lord to have mercy on her soul.
Be strong, friends and most of all: Be Godly and start worshiping today!
Thanks for reading,
Shelley N. Goodman

You are all sick, sick people. How can you write this muck and still sleep in your beds at night. If there truly is a God, which there isn’t, it’s all bollocks, then he (or she) would definitely strike you all down with a burning bush, or something like that. There are starving people in the world who would love a cheese sandwich right now, and to say that it’s fine for spoilt, fuck-brained kids to chuck up their dinner is just deplorable. If my kids suddenly started to whinge about how they wanted to be so thin they look like a tap wrench i’d beat the shit out of them and make them respect the food on their plate that god (who don’t exist) put there for them.
Disgusting. It looks like she’s decomposing already, my goodness. What does she sees when she’s looking in the mirror? Anorexia is a mental sickness, a state of mind of selfcentered people. It’s an ego problem. I’m certain that this is another way of committing suicide. Some jump in front a train, others slash their wrists or take an overdose. I agree with you, if you don’t want to eat, no one has the right to force you to eat. Period. It’s nevertheless very sad for the families who has to deal with these problems and afterwards with feelings of guilt.
Right you are Shelley! Praise the Lord!
Well Shelley I think you have outdone yourself this time. I wonder where you got this photograph? Oh, wait I know our task force took it while in Bosnia during the 1995 expulsion of Serbian combatants. Well, for your information she is a christian. She just came out of the joint NATO and Air Force depository after being administered her rape kit which was estimated at around 30-40 rapes having been commited on this 17 year old girl. She was brutalized and starved by her Serbian captors for more than two years. I am sure she would be happy to be your poster child for your rants. This makes me sick, as it shoud you. This is not her doing and your recklessness cannot be any other than the devil. You should be ashamed of yourself. As a previous member of Task Force Dart in Afganistan and Operation Clear the Way in Bosnia and as a current consultant for Black Water International I am ashamed I have empowered opinion such as this one on our behalf. Respond if you have the courage I would be happy to elabrate on this young girls REAL experience at the hands of the enemy.
If this girl was a rape victim during 2 years in the Bosnian war, how come I have never seen this picture before? Newspapers from all over the world should have printed it and if they refused it they should be ashamed of themselves. Donatella Versace’s daughter looks exactly the same as this girl. But she choosed to be the thinnest model on the catwalk; it was her own free will. Those fashion people are crazy. Hardly any woman in the world has US size 4 or 34 EU. And all the girls who are dreaming about being a supermodel are crazy, just crazy.
Vivika,
She was one of hundreds that were starved and raped. It was called a Genocide and therefore not a singular event. You can find out all you want to know by researching the Bosnian war during the nineties.
Reading the comment above I think I misinterpreted the text on which I gave my comment. I thought that the girl on the photo wanted to be the skinniest model on earth.
I jumped into a conclusion which is maybe not the right one but is my conclusion about this explanation the right one? I am always very sceptical about reporting and yet I overlooked the pitfall.
The truth about the Bosnian war however is horrible and if this girl was a victim of brutal violence, I really shouldn’t have mocked about skinny girls. Although I think Vivika has a point about the fashion world, I sincerely apologize for my comment.
Are you people kidding me?
These girls do not CHOSE to feel
the way they feel. Who wakes up in the morning
and asks to hate every bit of what they see in the mirror
who asks, to be isolated from friends and family as well
as feeling the constant pain of hunger, anorexia is not a
choice it is an illness. These girls look in the mirror and see something different than how you and i see them.
they DO NOT see the thin figures they are, they see fat girls starring back at them. You should all be ashamed, my best friend in the whole world was pure and happy and smart and beautiful and thin-however she did not see it. She was not looking for attention, she was looking for acceptance and perfection. She was taken from me because of this illness and if anyone here thinks these girls deserve the lifelong misery they endure because their heads tell them they wont be good enough unless they are thin enough you are strongly mistaken. How about we show a little kindness to people
Anorexia like Balemia is a mental disorder that takes on a physical aspect, and is commonly a symptom of psychosis or manic depression/bi-polar disorder.
Most people that develope eating disorders (as they often occur over an extended period of time) have no concept of what they are actually doing to their bodies, as they feel their life is out of control and that this is the soul thing that they have power over. This is why treating the eating disorder doesn’t necessarily help because they are only treating the symptom, not the underlying cause.
When you have actually gone through anorexia yourself you know that those ludicrous ‘Thin Commandments’ are similar to what actually goes through your head. You wear baggy clothes to hide your body; you feel guilty about enjoying food because it will make you ‘fat’ and force yourself to vomit or purge your system; you count calories like your life depends on it; and you exercise like a maniac to counter the food you have eaten.
Regardless, when someone is suffering from an eating disorder God is not out to get them, they just need professional help and a very supportive group of friends and family.
And anyone that gets too offended by these posts should really read the terms and conditions of this site (4.4).
whoever wrote this is a fucking idiot. it is a sickness, your right. as for blaming god, well thats where your wrong. there is no god. your savior is in your imagination. they have brought this on themselves, and any signs of an eating disorder need not to be rejected. you sick fucking people saying to leave them alone and not help. it a disease. maybe one day you’ll get cancer and everyone will watch you die slowly, and say well, god is doing this to her. lets just let her be. dont help. FUCKING IDIOT
okay,, some of you people are ate up.. wow. i cant beleive you think that starving yourselves is a cure for anorexia. bullshit. and there is a god. have faith in something at least in yourselves. supporting this is shooting that aspect right to hell. dont blame this on god. and the thin commandments sicken me. you disgust me. do you have children shelly? if you do, lets hope you dont them starve themselves,, your the one who needs a cure..
Congratulations, you just won in ignorant award for the day.
I have the firm believe that sicknesses like that cure themselves.
“Sicknesses like that”. Are you a doctor? Are you trained to separate different kinds of illnesses from each other?
Those suffering from eating disorders are not “choosing” to do so. It’s the way the chemicals in their body make them act, just like any other disease. It is a constant fight for people with mental illnesses to combat this stigma, because people like you seem to think mental illness develops out of a person’s moral or mental weakness.
You obviously believe people who get cancer deserve do die, because God “gave” them cancer to kill them off.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t be Christian, but you should really seek some therapy for your bitterness.
Saying that these girls alost deserve to have anorexia is possibly the most disgustingly ignorant thing I’ve ever heard! And to say it may be because their parents don’t believe in god enough?! So does that mean people with Cancer, Diabetes, Disabilities, MS deserve to have those too?!
Honestly, there’s a thin line between believing in freedom of speech and being totally ignorant and the person who wrote the article above definitely crossed it! To the person who wrote it, I suggest that you get off your high horse and actually read something about the psychological effects of anorexia before you start shooting your mouth off about how its their own fault.
Feeling really angry at how ignorant some people can be and how they obviously don’t think about what they’re saying in a public forum.
I think we should all take pity on this woman.
she is obviously sick in the head, personally i find this laughable.How stupid and self absorbed do you have to be to think that anorexia is a positive thing!
get a life fucking loser.
in all honesty i don’t think someone who believes in God should put him in such a negative spot light– he puts this on these girls? wtf.
oh and work on your grammar, it makes you sound even worse. Surprisingly enough that’s possible.
I am not a parent and even I know that there is no way you have the right to tell parents to back off their children when it comes to their well-being.
You obviously don’t even fully understand anorexia nervosa or you wouldn’t have written this. Do your research before you make it public.
you are one fucked up little bitch
Like the others have said before me, it is a mental illness. You need help dear. And posting this picture was just absolutely terrible.
I suffered from anorexia and I got help and medicine and now I am perfectly healthy, starving myself WASN’T the cure, having my parents FORCE me to go get help was. And because of my parents not letting me starve I am alive today. You have issues. This is so wrong.
It terrifies me that people like you exhist. What I do pray is that you are never in a role to “support” and give guidance. Yes, we all have free will, a gift we should never give up, but people do have ilness and need to be treated. Starving yourself is not “normal” and needs treatment.
I don’t wish any harm on anyone, but do hope you get a big wake-up call.
Yikes, I hope I never meet you.
I am very upset how some of u say there is no God for there is the one the only glorious Jesus and all that these girls need is Him!!!
can who ever made this site tell those girls to eat some food so they can be sexy no man wants a woman to be to skinny they want a sexy curve to there body so they can touch it and hold them so eat some food please and find a good guy to tell you are beautiful and this is from a guy so bring up you self esteem fuck what other people think you can eat and be sexy. sexy is more about who you are not what you look like so be yourself but dont starve yourself take care of your body and love yourself so then people will love you just eat right and you will never get fat and just stay active i dont know if this will help but i just wanted to say something please take care of yourself so maybe someday you will change the world for some girl that doesnt think she is good enough you can tell her fuck that your better then this you dont have to sink yourself to not eating to please are fucked up world just be yourself and love every day love yourself and someone will love you back so eat thats what make it so you can see the next day and everyone is beautiful so eat some fucking food so we maybe some day meet you never know what this world will through at you next the world is fucked up but you got to love it then you die so try to make it
a random dude named tadashi
Shelley is fucked. You are truly satan if you are shoving this god bullshit down everyones throats. If you are christian or are religious you do it at your own free will. You follow becasuse you believe in the values and morals NOT because shovanistic bullshitters like ‘shelley” tell you you should or youll be punished. FUCK YOU SHELLEY.
hi……my heart pounds when i read that message….i myself was there once….its extreme more extreme than you ever ever can imagine…..its like you have two brains in your head one is thinking and BELIEVING this the other is crying out to stop crying out for someone to help take this away…….this you have to understand is not anyones fault it creeps up on you before you even realise its NOT NORMAL……is the worse world your in and nothing i mean nothing can stop you unless you seek the help in which is so hard to do as you feel youe “loosing control” of this “friend” you have developed……i really wicsh more people could understand i mean really understand how painful, hard, draining etc this is for anyone who has an eating disorder…….we are no different than an alcoholic or drug addict etc its a life time battle even when you do seek help even when you do on the outside look healthy….i get emotional when i readin or even listen (even my own family) to people putting us down i myself am in recovery for the last 3 years and doing extremely well as i had an eating disorder half of my life……and still to this day get reminded of it every day by the people who dont understand but it doesnt bother me anymore……i have started up a page on facebook about all of this…….
if there is a god, what a tradgedy it is that he has created a mind as distorted and ignorant as yours. what a waste of space in this beautifull world, quite sad. lord have mercy on your soul :)
i love u shelley.
Haa… I didn’t know people this stupid really did exist. Bigot, idiot, dense, dumb, dull-witted, dolt(some words that come to mind)
I was just putting together a report for health class, and came across this on google images. I don’t pity, nor do I curse people that have an eating disorder. It’s unfortunate. You die, think of how your family would feel.
Back to how fragmented and dense this girls mind must be to create this site; I wonder if it’s just a joke? I bet you love you some George W. Bush, don’t ya? With all your grammar errors, and hip Texan slang. Haha, yes, and lets bring god into the discussion? You think other people with any other disorder deserve to die, too, because of something they’re born with? Then call it gods divine plan? Black, Jews, and gays deserve to be tossed to the flames of hell also, champ? Oh geez, dear whoever, you’re awesome. I bet you are just such a great person.
Also, this is coming from someone who was put in the hospital when she was 17, 5’6″, 84lbs, and has had an eating disorder since the age of 6. When I say “I don’t pity anyone with an eating disorder”, it’s because I really don’t. I empathize with them. I would have never wanted anyone to pity me when I was in the situation(it made me feel humiliated), but I would have liked to hear someone say, “I understand, and there is hope.”
I’m following Shelley on this, somewhat.
I think it is wrong for people to be anorexic/bulimic but if you look at the people who do it, they were taunted and teased and MOCKED, pushed, bullied for something in their childhood. They don’t grow up in perfect houses, with perfect friends, and no problems.
Is it a mental illness = no. It’s a coping skill/release.
So, I don’t know… I’m not a doctor or a professional, but I know that the same thing applies for cutters, burners, and people who feel depressed. They choose to do what they do, but they didn’t choose to feel sad, or to be put in whatever situation encouraged their habbits.
What IS this place?!
Funny how when I search for websites on how to get help for my anorexia/bulimia, that I stumble upon this.
This has got to be the most ignorant “blog site” (if you can call it that) on the net. And this is coming from a 15 year old boy, so yes, even I understand the idiotic-ness of your work. It’s kind of sad how distorted your image of god is. c: Have fun writing more worthless junk!
Your’s “Lovingly”,
Alex
P.s. I hope you detected that last bit of sarcasm c; and yes, boys can be anorexic too.
I honestly want an answer… Do you REALLY think that you’re going to ‘heaven’ by writing this?
There are several racist statements, idiocy, and quite honestly… You write like a first grader.*
*A 46 year old first grader that still shits their pants and doesn’t know that Africa is a continent. Like sarah palin
anorexia is, as other people mentioned, a mental illness. it does not mean that God punished someone. first of all, God does not “punish” anyone, because we all look for our own destiny and we get what we ask for (consciously or unconsciously) ..
and families, keep fighting for your loved one’s health. they are sick and need treatment. they CAN get better. it is hard but they can. have faith and please do not listen to this nonsense.
God would never do anything to harm you. He loves you way to much. Just because your skinny doesnt mean ur beautiful its the inside that counts. i know people say it alot but its 100% true. God loves you for who you are and not what you look like. and there is a guy out there that will love you for you and not what you look like. Im sorry you fell this way but this isnt the way to fix whatever it is thats nawing at u. This only covers up the problem and may even make it worse, you are a beautiful individual and you dont need anyone to tell you what to look like. The world know days is constantly about being skinny and young. we all get old and at the end of your life do u want to be known as the freaky skinny girl with the disorder, or the girl who was fun to be around and always had fun. I’ll pray for you all. May God bless you.He has blessed me tremendously.
