Girls With Anorexia
Mom's Style
Anorexic moms often
raise girls with anorexia.
Main challenge here is
that the girls push it harder than their moms.
And they start pretty
early.
Moms love to keep
trendy.
They want to get slim, thin and small.
And they want it NOW.
Cheapest way is to axe their eating, engage in demanding work outs,
and become anorexic.
The Media Trumpet
Girls watch and learn what it takes to keep thin and trendy.
They learn the acceptable beauty standards.
The media pump the information into them daily.
If you want to be admired, accepted, then you must be
thin and thin and thin!
Fat is an indication that you are unpolished, they seem to say.
So, millions of girls with anorexia see absolutely nothing wrong with
the adventure.
They search for more info on how to become anorexic.
Unfortunately, this is gradual attempt at suicide.
What Girls NeedGrowing girls need all the nourishment they could get from foods
for maximum
development of their body systems.
If the body is starved of
food, how does it keep up and function efficiently?
That is the issue with
girl anorexics.
Challenges Of Girl
Anorexics
Their immunity is lowered.
Growth process is impaired.
Their irritability drives friends away.
They have this thing of crying way too soon
at the slightest provocation.
They'll rather cry than eat.
They prefer to eat alone.
But this eating alone is actually
to eat a bit, if at all, and trash the rest.
Their weight loss is dangerously drastic.
Being too thin is their aim.
So if you observe to them that they are TOO thin,
they take it as a compliment,
and somehow even think you are flattering them.
They don’t ever seem to make the mark.
So, they put themselves on overdrive to eat little
or nothing, and exercise much.
Mirror, mirror, still shows them that they are grossly overweight!
What a damaged and distorted self image!!!

of their romance with anorexia earlier in life.
