he scientific name for anorexia is Anorexia Nervosa. People with anorexia become completely obsessed with weight and dieting. They develop a fear of becoming fat and have a distorted mental image of their body, always seeing themselves as fat, even when they are extremely thin. Common attributes of anorexic sufferers are under-eating, vigorous exercise, ritualistic food habits and abuse of laxatives cause excessive loss of weight. Most anorexic people have no history of being overweight.












Every single one of these photos is PHOTOSHOPPED. This is not speculation but FACT.
The ones of actual models (1st and 2nd last images) – You can find the originals online. They are NOT the original images. They are slender models, but nothing like the extreme emaciation depicted in these altered images.
The ones of the girl in white are part of an series of digitally altered images by an artist who is speaking out AGAINST anorexia. These images are OPENLY PHOTOSHOPPED. Just because they’re distributed as “thinspo”, doesn’t mean they’re real (other than they’re REALLY pieces of digital photo-art, and they’ve REALLY been used – without authorization – in contradiction of the artist’s aim).
While people CAN look this thin, the people in these particular images are digitally altered. Again, not speculation, but fact.
Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble! It just happens to be true (unlike these pictures).
What a buffoon you are. That one in the blue dress with the string hair is Giselle, the highest paid, German model, born in Brazil. She CLEARLY does not look like that. It IS PHOTOSHOPPED. I agree w/ the last comment, tired of fat women ragging on skinny ones. Yes most of America and Britain and Australia and India is overweight. That’s why most fashion models look so skinny to you b/c you’re just so damned fat. In Eastern Europe and Asia, most women are not fat. Get a grip on life, on the world, on your own insecurities, and lack of will power.
You guys must be crazy if you think these are fake. As a recovering anorexic, I used to look like that. You don’t get it. Many girls actually can look worse than that. If u go to an eating disorder treatment facility, many girls look like this. And also, you shouldn’t judge the way people want to look. Honestly they didn’t choose anorexia. It choose them.
OMG. These girls need serious help. They are soooo thin. How are they alive. I want to loose weight but not to that extreme. Someone please help those girls. I don’t think they are even healthy. I am sori but that is how I feel about Anorexic people. Some should be concerned enough to step in at least.
i especially hate knees and elbows – they are the worst in these pics. how could anyone think looking like that is even remotely beautiful….
Anyone reminded of “Silent Hill”?
because they are photoshopped lol the ones with the girl in the white stockings was a shoot and the photographer said he distorted them to make a statement. most of these are photoshopped there are website with the originals. do some research before you claim false information.
First off, anorexia literally means “lack/loss of appetite”. Anorexia Nervosa is a mental disorder. It’s not that one is just some shortening of the other.
Secondly, to all of the people crying that these are NOT photoshopped- alot of them are. I happen to know for a fact that most of these were from a campaign of an artist who photoshopped several healthy models to make them look skeletal. The anatomy is weird in these instances. Yes, there are some who are that skinny thanks to the disease, but most of these were from a sort of ad campaign and are fake. However, these have been used as “thinspiration” for girls suffering from anorexia nervosa, thus sort of defeating the whole purpose of the ads :/
the last one is not photoshopped it was part of in add in another contry to bring awarence to Anorexia so are the ones with the girls face wrapped
why do people some automatically assume these pics are photoshopped?
whether these pictures are 100% genuine or not, they highlight the dangers of starving yourself, and show how unattractive the results can be.
i know some people are naturally very skinny (myself included), but i doubt anyone is naturally skeletal.
Yes, most of those pictures are photoshopped. ******************/models.asp feel free to check out the originals.
Some people are naturally skinny, some people are naturally heavy, neither size should automatically be condemned as unhealthy. However I will say that there is a very obvious fat-phobia present almost everywhere you look. Like in a comment posted by Laura. Heavy people are dismissed as slobs, as lazy, as ugly, and as ‘out to get’ skinny people. I’m particularly angry with the ‘out to get thin people’ paranoia, as its so insanely obvious that the media(etc) are out to ridicule, demonize, and ostracize ‘fat’ people.
Hmmm something tells me if you would Tap one of those Models She would Snap Like a Twig.
And Yea PhotoShopped there is a demand for thin women but not Skeletons.
FAKE. clearly photoshoped because some body parts have more fats than others and the image doesnt make sense.
Why does anything weird or odd online have to be automatically considered PHOTOSHOPPED?
There are REALLY thin anorexic models out there! Some of the really thin women are using coc***e and m**h to stay thin, too.Please, people, do not think every strange picture MIGHT BE ‘SHOPPED’.I believe that at least 90% of these photos are very real. The modeling industry is so scr***d.
ANOREXIA IS A SERIOUS ILLNESS!
We’re so used to seeing ‘fake’ photos online. This is such horse s****.
Thin, Thin, Thinner. God forbid that a woman weigh anywhere near her ideal weight for her frame. And people wonder why so many Teenage girls have Anorexia and Bulemia? They see all these dam*** SCARECROWS on TV, in magazines and in films, so they think, ‘gee, I need to be skinny as h*ll, too. It’s so cool!’
It’s NOT COOL, It f****** s****.
Be who you really are, don’t hide. Live your life to the fullest and please go get help if you have an eating disorder!
REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES!
You know what I am sick of? fat people photoshopping healthy bodies to make them look sick! Healthy fit bodies don’t have much fat. I’m tired of you lazy slobs wanting the world to accept you. Yeah runway models are too skinny. What should be on the runway are healthy fit models, neither scrawny nor fat. We need positive role models
