A Letter to the Anorexic Community

First of all, if you are anorexic, or you know someone who is, make sure that this is read. I do expect only about three people to read this, so for those three people, let's break it down.

Secondly: anorexia is a disease of sorts. It causes the affected persons to inflict bodily harm on themselves. Why? Because society is full of nutcases, and as the wonderfully intelligent person sitting next to me suggested, propaganda. The sole goal of human existence as it were, is to find a fit mat and reproduce, but if you are making yourself a "fit mate" by making yourself unfit to reproduce, then what the hell are you doing to yourself anyway? In modern society we continually impose standards on members of society that should not be imposed. Just because the woman in the music video has a 20 inch waist, doesn't mean you should. Those people had to give a blowjob for each minute they spend on screen, so why should anyone want to emulate them. Yes, you may be fat, or at least slightly overweight, but does that mean that you should starve yourself just so you can look great for that one certain someone? Most people are attracted at first solely on looks, because, let's face it, we're shallow assholes as a species. Think of it this way. Yes he looks hot now, but in 30 years, he's going to start sagging, and so will most other guys. Yes she looks hot now, but in 30 years, she'll wrinkle up like she'd spent too long in the pool. Is it worth the small portion of life where they will be attractive just to mate and marry based on looks? Is there something else for society to need? We don't need good looking people to be a functioning society. We need smart people, charming people, intelligent people, hardworking people, patriotic people, perseverant people. Are those people necessarily skinny? No, but why should it matter?


Lastly: Is skinniness necessarily attractive? This is more for girls than guys, because they seem to be looking more like walking twigs as a gender. Ask yourself truly and honestly. Is skinniness attractive? Is there nothing more to a person than how thin they are? Newsflash to many of you: Most of the guys that "love" you because you are skinny are simply selfish assholes who will always be looking for a skinnier girl to get with, because thats the only thing they like. Some guys actually like some depth in their girlfriends. That is to say, that there are people in this world who don't like skinny, or at least overly skinny people. People need to be comfortable as themselves, but still understand that there are improvements to be made. You may be a few pounds overweight, but that doesn't mean that eating less will help you at all. Exercise, adding more natural food items to your diet, these are all very simple steps that can easily improve your body without making you look like a rail. This goes for girls and guys. Seriously, it's bad.

Sincerely,
AotB
