This is a serious problem that has effected many people yet there is so little done about it. There are always news reports about obesity. What about anorexia. - Researcher Fri, 30 May 2008 03:31:47 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_11898 fIRSTLY, Its nearly one year since this beautiful girl left the world. RIPAnna. Secondly- we cant blame her, we cant blame her family, friends, agency. we dont know, there are so many things that make someone vulnerable to an eating disorder, and once u have it, it seems IMPOSSIBLE to leave. i admire all those who have beaten their disease. i dont understand why being thin is the number one priority in my life, i dont understand why i am obsessed with calories, food and weight. i hate how i judge myself on what i weigh, and what clothes fit. i hate that the only thing that makes me happy is seeing the numbers on the scale go down. i hate that the only way i feel sucsessful is if im thinner then everyone. i hate this life. its torture. its pain. and im stuck. Anna was stuck too. trapped in a world with no escape. i dont want to be here. but i cant do it. i cant put on weight, there is nothing worse in this world then the guilt and hatred of myself i feel when i eat. i feel for anna and her family, and i would do anything to take away their pain, but at the same time, (as sick as this may sound to some) i wish i was her! i cant help feel that she is in a way lucky. she is in a much better place now. she is in no more pain. any place is better then the cruel lonely world of an eating disorder. she is at peace with herself now. she can relax. for the first time, she is ok. - mishie Mon, 05 Nov 2007 03:32:53 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_11771 You dont need to be skinny to feel beautiful love your self the way you are :P - ryan Fri, 26 Oct 2007 12:58:32 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_8763 I'm responding to Nicole's comment. The webiste http://news.softpedia.com/news/Anorexia-Kills-Another-Model-40393.shtml has a picture of her and then a second picture of her (?) looking like a skeleton. Was that really a picture of her????? You don't even recognize her? WTF???? - jenni Mon, 23 Apr 2007 20:24:49 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_6541 Grace Higgins...u go, girrrl! u tell 'em! society dictates how people should look / feel / act / etc. sad that we are morons who cannot think for ourselves, that we have to follow the majority. "oh, u can't be hapy, because you're too heavy / have brown hair, drink this, eat that." if we would stop listening to commercialism, society, consumerism, then we would al have better lives! why listen to hollywood and madison avenue>??? who cares who J Lo is dating, or what britney is wearing, or where Lohan is going for detox? who cares!?!? we read people mag, US mag, teen beat mag, etc...for what??!! why r we SO interested in what paris hilton is doing? do u think she cares about u, about what u r doing? NO! wake up, people, and start living...for yourselves! - johhny winter Sun, 21 Jan 2007 10:29:28 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_6540 wasn't that a Beales song?...ana...go to him. hmmm hmmm hhmmm - zigy wople Sun, 21 Jan 2007 10:24:04 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_6364 I don't understand the insane hatred our society has for fat people. I'm 49 years old, 5' -10" tall and 270 pounds. According to the Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers hype I should be miserable, lonely and ashamed of myself.... but I have a great job, a nice house and a boyfriend who adores me. If you starve yourself you will end up sick, dead, or with a man who cheats on you and goes out to go-go bars because he has no respect for women. You are just a toy, an object for his amusement, not a person. Any person who tries to stop you from eating is evil. Sure I can stand to lose a few pounds and I do my best to stay healthy by hiking, ride my bike, walk every day, dance, rollerblade and do fun activities. I don't eat junk food and I'm a vegetarain. I'm just naturally HUGE like my grandmother, my mother and all my sisters. People guess my age to be 27-35. When I was 25 years old and starving myself to be 150 pounds, strangers would scream "lose weight you big fat pig" at me while I was out walking!!! I used to run home crying. Now I just don't care. If someone says something hateful to me I just tell myself they are miserable and I feel sorry for them because happy people don't go around saying mean things. Society controls women by making them paranoid about their bodies. If you are consumed with dieting and worrying you can't concentrate on more important things. If you hate yourself stop watching TV. Don't look at those stupid magazines. They are full of lies and really bad advice anyway. Go to a nude beach and look at all the different body types. RIP Ana Carolina, I hope your horrible death was not in vain. - Grace Higgins Tue, 02 Jan 2007 16:02:30 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_6354 Isso é um caso lastimável. Lamentamos a morte de mais uma pessoa que poderia representar nosso país, com muito sucesso, no exterior. - Lí. Mon, 01 Jan 2007 23:20:55 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5696 the link - Nicole Mon, 27 Nov 2006 12:07:37 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5695 It is a very sad story. While looking into it, I found this article. Apparently, she was still working, although she was only a skeleton. I am really appalled by the second picture. Who would take such a picture? They recruite a model, who shows up, and noone notices that she is sick?! This is not even beautiful, why the make-up, why the picture? - Nicole Mon, 27 Nov 2006 12:06:37 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5685 I was sad to hear about this poor young lady died because she was very worried about being fat. The responsibles are behind the fashion magazines, behind the TV commercials, behind their fancy offices worried only how they will make more money. The Made in US sex and violence industry. The Made in Holywood carbage movies and TV. TV worldwide is corrupted with american ideas and ideals of consumption. And it is all carbage, empty. The responsible is the North American media who sells every superflous thing as it they were important for our lives. We live in a world which the one who makes more money is more respectful. We live in a carbage world making tons of carbage everyday. Who needs a Prada f... bag? Only those who have s... inside their brains needed. Who needs Vogue magazine? Only those empty plastic ladies without heart needed. I am sorry but nowadays we all are empty, with empty needs, with empty hearts. We live in a plastic made in china world. We deep inside are empty zombies looking to buy more and more because we have nothing left inside. After we buy a new carbage, a new fancy high heel shoes, we need something else to buy, a new PS3, a new f... cellular, a new nike, a new this a new that. Poor girls they are faded to follow the new God the God of consumption. The God of Money. Poor girls they think Paris Hilton is the best... My woman is Madre Teresa, my woman is my mom, my woman are all the workers who every day sweat to give to theirs a decent meal without giving a sh.. about those idiotics brands and clothes. After all NO ONE will carry their fortune to heaven. All we need is more LOVE more PEACE more RELIGION more VOLUNTEER quality times more HUMBLE SPIRITS more NATURE more UNITED FAMILIES more FAMILY TALK more ESPIRITUAL LIFE and so on. Girls follow your dreams go for it a Naval Enginner course, go for a nurse course, go for a culinary course, go for a MBA course, go for a carpentry course, go for become a nun if you like it, but please do not praise this artificial empty fashion and money world, it leads only to emptiness. Respect your dad and mom, love your estudies, love your ice cream, love a juicy cheeseburger, love salads and fruits, rice and beans, fish and steaks... Eat anytime you want and be happy! I will pray tonight to you Ana, I will pray for you dad and mom, I will pray asking to God to change this world before He comes back again into a world less materalistic. God Bless Us All. Que Deus Nos Abencoe. - Cristiano Mon, 27 Nov 2006 04:09:00 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5679 I just wanted to say that i feel realy sorry about carolina. I am also a model and i also feel every day pression for be skinny and dont get fat. I know how is it, and its terrible!!! My mum also tell me to eat and iam am skinny, but if i do that, i will stop having work... how many girls need to die for fashion designers stop doing so mush pression on us??? - maria Carvalho Sun, 26 Nov 2006 22:52:12 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5594 she was a beutiful girl :( - corey watson Fri, 24 Nov 2006 15:32:08 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5534 somethingfishy.org, or something-fishy.org.... wonderful website for support for people stuggling, or those who love them struggling.. many forums... awesome site - Bree Wed, 22 Nov 2006 07:40:00 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5533 People also forget about the little things like the multiple Enema's you are subjected to in the hospital to clean out weeks and weeks of stool caught in there that is making you physically ill... or the "heroine" arms from the three times a day you have your blood withdrawn from you for testing... or the itchy skin from the IV being in there too long, or the IV you've been taking everywhere with you for the past three weeks, or the Patches of hair that come off your hear everyday, and the dark circles under your eyes.... this is what people who glamorize it don't see...... And the anorexia.... it doesn't see it either after awhile.... - Bree Wed, 22 Nov 2006 07:35:19 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5532 Tiene you're absolutely right to bring up all the ugliness caused by anorexia. Even a few years after my recovery i still am suffering from bone weakness, teeth problems, a miscarriage, breast lumps, and some other things that i know are caused by purpose starvation. Its sad for me to know that all my health problems are caused by my own vanity. I'm sure if i would have stopped the insanity instead of starving for 8 years my life would have been a lot easier. Now i look at pictures of my anorexic days and just when u see my face u can see it right away, the aged look that something wasn't right. How sad that was when i was in my teens and i look older and more sickly than ever. All i ever wanted was to be a model...how ironic i was turning from a pretty girl into a scary looking one. I made myself look WORSE when all i wanted was to look good. There is so much more to life than thinking and living for food and thinness. If someone out there is struggling please reach out to a recovery center. You can overcome this and heal your body and mind. If you get help soon the damage can be reversed. Just thinking about Ana Carolina bring tears to me because i know she suffered much more than even i did. I truly hope her death can save somebody who thinks this disease is worth it. Because the truth is it sucks, it just is NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!! - Rachel Wed, 22 Nov 2006 04:29:23 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5499 i am so sorry that this terrible illness has robbed you of so much, it is so hard for families and, as a sufferer, i know that the families do everything they can possibly do. i hope your advise will be heeded and save lives. - Tiene Mon, 20 Nov 2006 23:27:07 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5495 I lost my wife to annorexia. I still remember the osteoporisis, the body hair, the rotting teetn, the choking the cold the wasted muscle, the bones showing, the sores, the weakness, the exaustion, the loss of mental process, and I went through this with her not once but three times, because twice, on her death bed, she decided she wanted to live. I learned two things. First, This disease borders on insanity. it is unreasonable and if you have family who are trapped by this disease, you will never reason with them with success, you can't reason with this insidious insanity. Second, this is one of the most hideous deaths you can imagine. Tiene's description was exact and thorough. If you have someone you care for who is trapped in this hell, quit trying to be nice and drag them to someone who knows how to deal with eating disorders. Most medical people have no clue. so find someone who knows. It may not work, it didn't for me because I waited too long, but at least I buried her knowing that I tried. I watched a beatiful woman turn into a cold lifeless corpse who couldn't remember her name or where she lived and then her organs quit functioning and she died. I learned that trying to convince someone they are "too thin" worked exactly the opposite that rational thinking would believe, because in her mind, that was a reward not a criticism. If you have children or mates who are struggling with this, don't screw around till it's too late. Get them help NOW, even if they don't want it. They may rebel and reject it and die, but at least you will have tried. carl - carl Mon, 20 Nov 2006 21:06:02 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5494 when people think about the glamour of anorexia and thinness they forget about all those things. they forget about the osteoporosis, the hunch, the all over body hair, the rotting teeth, the swollen glands, the choking, the burning acid, the protruding veins, the bloating, the palpitations, the cold, the muscle wasting, the weakness, the exaustion, the isolation, the haunting - anorexia is pure horror - Tiene Mon, 20 Nov 2006 20:26:34 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7535/1/#pc_5486 Anorexia is the opposite...you think u will be more beautiful (for a time u might be) but in the end you will have a yellow gray cast to your skin, hollowed eyes like a lady of 80 years old wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, a gaunt aged looking face, hair that will turn for shining glory to dull scragly thinning hair. STOP LISTENING to the lies. The truth is anorexia turns ugly. I wish someone told me this when i was trying so hard to be more beautiful. My hair is just now becoming how it used to be before anorexia. The longer you starve the harder it is for your body to regain health and BEAUTY. I know what its like you might be reading this going thats fine for her, but i want to be skinnier. I used to think who cares if i loose all my hair i'll have the best body...does that show you what a LIE anorexia is! The people who died in concentration camps sure didn't care if they gained weight and felt ugly....they wanted to survive. to have a life... - Rachel Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:01:05 +0100
