PHOTOSHOPPING GONE MAD: THE SKINNY ON THE FAKE & REAL IMAGES OF MODELS ON THE INTERNET...

Fake

Real

The Internet is rife with photoshopped images of skeletal models. Unfortunately, many young girls cruising the Internet, who aspire to have stick-thin figures like the models in the images they see, begin deadly starvation diets, not realizing that the pictures of many of these models have been photoshopped...and some drastically.

Here are just a few examples of fake and real pictures...

What's scary is how many of the "real" ones are not all that different to the freakish unnatural fakes.
A lot of those models are so horribly thin already!

Josie, isn't that the truth?

Most of the real photos are just as scary as the photoshopped ones.

Fat girls in the old fat acceptance movement are jealous.

But why would they want to Photoshop pictures so that you can see bones? What's the point? Those girls look sickly.

By the way, I'm doing a project on modeling and anorexia and your blog is very helpful. Keep up the good work :)

who would fake pictures like this, knowing that girls are going to believe they are real? thank you so much for this site Medusa, I am armed with so much more info about eating disorders than I could ever have been without you and having three teenaged girls, I feel much more abled to step in quickly if I see any signs of them turning towards an eating disorder. don't ever stop posting...I imagine alot of people would miss out if you did.xx

Obese women really are hideous and they know it. There is no other way to say it. Fat acceptance is comprised almost entirely of jealous and angry fat girls. Fat acceptance is anti diet so the distort images of thin and normal women just was the distort medical realities. Often they tell outright lies.

Read some fat acceptance blogs and you will see what I mean.

Jealousy makes people do some very irrational things.

Unfortunately it is not necessary to believe that the (faked) pics were "real". It´s enough that it looks(!) like it could be the reality. I know most of the pictures you´ve posted, and I know that they´re photoshopped. I don´t know how to explain because my English is so bad that it´s good ...
It´s not always the reason to become thin and beautiful why people get anorexic, I´m quite skinny, too, but it´s because I want to be ugly enough so that nobody would abuse or hurt me again in any way. I became a bit weak in the last few weeks but now I´ve found help after more than 13 years searching for help. I´ve got to recover in my brain but in a different way as people with an ED. In my case it´s DIS, and life becomes too complicated, almost no time left for such normal things like meals and food. However, I want to be "ugly" for other people, so it´s ok if there´s not enough time. Sorry for writing so much in my terrible English. Your blog is really great, please don´t stop posting. Thanks.
