Anorexia is an eating disorder where people starve themselves. Anorexia usually begins in young people around the onset of puberty. Individuals suffering from anorexia have extreme weight loss. Weight loss is usually 15% below the person's normal body weight. People suffering from anorexia are very skinny but are convinced that they are overweight. Weight loss is obtained by many ways. Some of the common techniques used are excessive exercise, intake of laxatives and not eating.
Anorexics have an intense fear of becoming fat. Their dieting habits develop from this fear. Anorexia mainly affects adolescent girls.
People with anorexia continue to think they are overweight even after they become extremely thin, are very ill or near death. Often they will develop strange eating habits such as refusing to eat in front of other people. Sometimes the individuals will prepare big meals for others while refusing to eat any of it.

so uh, pixi isn't anorexic and maybe you should find out if people are before you plaster their pictures all over a website like this
Some of these girls are not actually anorexics. You should really use better judgment then to just collect a much of images off the net without proof of their disease. That pretty offensive to the few on here that do not suffer from an eating disorder.
I agree - some of these people(kids) are not anorexic, but for those that are... it so sad... that to some people it has come to the point where you have to be skin and bones to be pretty? What ever happened to help building your childs' self esteem rather than watch them perish away to nothing and look like a walking skeleton :(

When I was told about this blog, I heard "Whores of Anorexia". I was a bit disappointed to see it was "Horrors" instead.
/sarcasm off
Anorexic or not, they all need to be taken to McDonald's on a daily basis until they gain at least 50 pounds.
The bottom line is, this can't be healthy.
But what disturbed me the most were the few images of models here. To be honest, they looked fine to me... which I guess proves that I also have a distorted image of beauty, as if it's okay to be super skinny if you're modeling and done-up.
its obvious people that the three girls arent anorexic.....but i think the reason the pic was posted was that they all had huge smiles on there faces like they were proud to look that thin....and i would say in a few years they may just look like that without having to suck it in
thesepics make me feel ill and fat you fuckers
you ARE fat! go purge, porky
This is a good page showing this disease; I've also found a good one here: http://www.funatiq.com/not-so-funny/queens-of-anorexia/
I think you should get fucking permission before you go posting pictures of someone else... Can you please take down the picture of the girl with the tree tattoo on her lower back...
these kind of scare me. i hope the girls are all okay.
you should get peoples godamn permission before you plaster their photos all over the net without their knowledge. take down the photo of the girl in the floral strapless. or i will somehow sue the fuck out of you for stealing images.
i thought i was becoming anorexic, but after seeing these pictures, i'm definetly going to start eating more. my friends will definitly be happy. now i know thin doesn't = beautiful.
They often believe that their behaviors are secret and no one notices or cares enough to pay attention. The idea that middle-aged women are having this problem is troubling to physicians as they work hard to try and prevent the disorder in young women. However, doctors can't be sure if the middle aged women that are receiving treatment are new to the disorder.

Whats even more sad, is that some of us fat girls would give our left tit to be this thin; at least that way, we'd be considered "humans" among most people. As society stands today, those of us who are over weight are less than human and it's socially acceptable to humiliate, poke fun at, and generally scorn us.
Um.. the picture of the three young girls? Pretty sure they're sucking it in. You should get your facts right before posting. -.-
no wonder why these girls don't like themselves....
being that skinny isn't attractive
that's just nasty n freaking disgusting...
i don't see how they can pput themselves throught that much pain
that's sad thats prety much a waste of a life naw sayin....
i understand if youre sick and you can't help being that skinny but if your not then why waste away your life...
god wouldn't want it to be this way....

you people are all ignorant and obviously know very little about this disease.
and yes, some of those girls are not sick, and whoever stole these pictures has no fucking conscience. these girls are human beings!!! and ones who are suffering at that.
most eating disorders have so much more to do with wanting to be thin. sometimes they have nothing to do with it. most of you have not experienced this diease firsthand. so for you dumb fucks to get on here and comment with the typical "take them to mcdonals, eat a cheeseburger, lets rant to the world about how gross and stupid these girls are!" is simply disgusting and wrong.
It is clear that some of the girls are not anorexic but I don't think that is the focus of the blog. It just goes to show that people think it is healthy and normal to be this thin when clearly it isn't. The average size female in the UK is a size 12 and this is increasing to a size 14 which is a healthy normal look. I don't think the media helps out with the insecurity some females, and males have with their bodies. For instance, some of these images look like models and cat walk models today are made to look solemn and thin and I personally don't feel that is a good representation to be giving to people. I think there is too much emphasis on the body image and body size and I personally think people should be able to feel they can sit and eat a big mac without feeling guilty. It is shame because a look of the girls in the images are pretty, but their weight and size makes them appear, for me, unattractive. I just hope people see the light before it is too late and realise that being thin does not always mean being beautiful.
well ur obviously blind who ever written the last post u must be annorexic or suffering froma eatening disorder these photo are freightening on wat these girls are doin the picture of the three youung girls showin the mid drifts all look happy with them self to be thats small ive been annorexic and bullimic and its a painful experience and a lonely exsistance im now a healthy weight and socialising this is a good blogg it shows the horrors of anorexia its not cool not healthy and in the end girls U WILL DIE IN THE END OF A OBSESSION i nearly died many times dropping to below 3 stone id rather eat to live then starve to die these pictures are shocking

Anorexia is not the way, all celebraty's lead a healthy diet. Anorexia diets only make you look un healthy you will get dark patches under your eyes spots and dry skin all because of lack of vitamins. If you want to look good think about eating breakfast, lunch and a good size dinner plenty of vegitables fruit and meat. Milk will make your hair and skin and bones healthy. And you will look amazing with in weeks of eating healthily. Snacking is also very good for a balanced diet maybe and apple or some sort of fruit or maybe even a packet of crisps between meals. I am gonna break the anorexia truth. It makes you look like crap skin will look dry and not healthy and viberant, hair will look like straw. The way to look like a barbie is not to die your hair because it will wreck it keep with you natural coulor. Don't wear exsesive make up only were, a light touching natural NOT ORANGE foundation eye liner and mascara. Please Anorexia is not big or clever if you are anorexic for too long then you phisically starve your body and your body will start digesting itself i have seen pictures of sufferes from anorexia and they do not look good they look terrible and not anything like a barbie doll or any celeb you will ever see. So seriously if you wanna look good eat healthy and stop this crazy obsession now!!!

well to be honest with you i am a male 21 years of age and i am about 96 or 97 pounds i am a zize 00 and i still want to be thinner because i work at a fashion store high fashion and thin is in and always will be and i think if you are going to walk down a run way or wears certain things you need to be no bigger than a two so yes some of you may think these girls are sick and need to go to mccdonalds but turn around and look in the mirror maybe your ass needs to avoid mickie dees and seek golds gym so dont throw all that judging shit out on these girls unless you are man or woman enough to take some smack back every one has their preference if we want to be so thin the slightest breeze blows us over cool same for you if you want to be so damn big you need a tow truck to get aroung go for it what ever makes you happy
"Horrors of Anorexia".wow u people r PATHETIC. ps but if u think im on the anorexia side think again they needto knock it off and start using their minds and if they did they would know there r bigger problms then that they wouldnt b worring about the beautiful bodies GOD gave them before they jacked it up no need for cuss words.GROW UP IM 12 AND I ACT MORE MATURE THAN THAT
nevermind i have a life ,arivaderci
Anyone that says these that these pictures are ok and some of these girls are just skinny,(with the exception of the 3 little girls), needs to have their head examined and be sure that they are not anorexic yourself. These girls are sick and are slowly killing themselves. Sorry hon, Pixie, whoever she is looks sick.
The girls on this page are lookin good, wish i could be as slim as them!!!
these girls should be ashamed of themselves. how can you be this skinny and still even be alive. when people call me skinny i laugh because im far from what these girls look like, i look good and have meat on my bones. i agree, go to mcdonalds.
Would love to know whether the girl with the ballet shoes really has anorexia.
some of these comments are so stupid. if you dont have anorexia dont judge, you dont know what its like, telling an anorexic to eat is just ignorent they have a MENTAL ILLNESS they DONT chose it, anorexia choses them. there are now 3 main types anorexia wannanorexics WANT to be anorexic but they never can be, pro anorexia where they thin thin is beautiful and perfect and they strive for perfection and there is the main type anorexia where the person doesn't eat for control and emotional reasons some dont even want to be thin they just cant eat. I know this because im anorexic im 16 and have anorexia for 6 years im anorexic and i would love to have a life without anorexia but i cant, those who dont have the illness will never understand it.
First of all not all of these girls are anorexic and second of all the picture of the three little girls....
I know the one in the middle and she's not anorexic. She eats like a f**king pig. Her and her friends are sucking it in dumbass. Get over your self-obssesion.
Shocking pictures!!! ((
