Yes, I already had a campaign plan and draft in process.. but .. I was 16 when I wrote that and Pandoras box was opened and came flooding with lots more memories that inspired me to change the campaign..
The risk in me doing these topics is the attachment i get to the cause .. its something i think about all the time. young people and some older go through it too but trust me , that horrible experience in some peoples lives .. is a lifestyle for others & its not always by choice.
thinspiration ? really ..
Beware!! the internet world is just as cruel as the real world .. how many times do we hear that and never listen ..
to bullys out there.. get hobbies, the topic i am about to touch on involves everything ib the light of thin ..
whether or not it was by choice it still counts.
some are bullied into their state.. some are pressured into it .. inspired or just feel like that is the norm so they do it .
Pro-ana refers to the promotion of the eating disorder anorexia nervosa as a lifestyle choice. It is often referred to simply as "ana" and is sometimes affectionately personified by anorexics as a girl named Ana. The lesser-used term pro-mia refers likewise to bulimia nervosa and is sometimes used interchangeably with pro-ana.there are hundreds and possibly thousands of pro ana, thinspo & thinspiration websites on the net ..
Pro-ana organizations differ widely in their stances. Most claim that they exist mainly as a non-judgmental environment for anorexics; a place to turn to discuss their illness, and to support those who choose to enter recovery. Others deny anorexia nervosa is a mental illness and claim instead that it is a "lifestyle choice" that should be respected by doctors and family.
I have known about these since i ventured into the fashion industry but their meaning never really attracted me ..
If you type the words in red into google.. unbelievable amounts of pages will show up, anyone and everyone has access to them as they have not been privatized.
even they are not happy with the way they are portrayed as hunger bait and the drive to someone's deathbed .. yes it causes death and retardation, Ok so that might be slightly fabricated but it is extreme .. one can lose their mind over this ..

there are many more sites..
its a real problem and it needs to be addressed in the right manner. it might be a job too big for me but I will give it a try
many of these blogs and sites are made by people who are inspired by 'thin' celebrities.. the idea .. anything to do with thin. people as young as 8 have posted for help on how to lose weight fast without their mothers noticing ..
celebrities and catwalk models are to blame for this crazy phenomenon. many years ago thinspo sites were closed down and major help was put into place to get these young people eating and leading normal lives, but bullies, pictures and this life has changed it all again .
as if thin sites are not enough, there is a guy in a dress at Jean Paul Gaultier's women's wear fashion show ..
what is the message ? having no curves makes the dress look better ?
I want to make a campaign that brings back the banishing of thinspo..
what does it mean to gain inspiration from a lifeless looking image ?
what age are we in ? these are not the dark days . yes a catwalk model is a hanger .. but should they really be?
I am going to get as many views on opinions on this as i possibly can .. i will ask people if they know about thin sites and their views..
they need help.. you are beautiful no matter what kind of body you are in ..
this video i found lurking on the net a few days ago .. uneducated fools laughing at a real condition .
