I don't know that you're going to see this comment, or not, so I'm going to email you as well.
I'm not certain that you are fully aware of the level of ED traffic on your blog. I'm also not certain that you fully understand the psychology of EDs.
There is a significant guilt factor for each and every one of us. Every day we think, especially those with anorexia or anorexia-like EDNOS, "there are people who need this food, why can't I eat it?" We already think of these things. It is not helpful to us on any level to see pictures of anorexics juxtaposed with Holocaust victims.
I would beg you to consider this.
Julia, the images in my post are of concentration-camp victims who survived. The point of my post is that if they survived, those with severe anorexia, with help, can also survive.
I'm sorry the point of my post was obscure. I will remedy that.
Best regards,

Julia, my take on this is the brutality of the holocaust and that of anorexia. The disease of anorexia and the diseased mind of those sick enough to have brought on the holocaust. The survival of the holocaust victims and the survival of anorexic victims.
many ignorant people assume anorexia is for attention when it takes on a mind of it's own and the anorexic is under the control of the disease itself.
If you are struggling with anorexia and you want to look like any of these photos then you need to evaluate your own recovery and illness. It's a very sick disease and recovery takes years though attainable.
Before attacking Medusa I think maybe you need to read her entire site. I have read near all her posts and there are several. You have completely missed her point and don't think you have read much here which makes me question why you zoned in on this post titled "Starvation". To me it speaks volumes of where you are at with your own disease or if you aren't anorexic than maybe you are searching for it in some sick way as many out there are. please seek help if you are.
((hugs)) Medusa. another powerful post I missed. and here I thought I saw all your posts!

Brandee, you put into words what I was trying to convey so much better than I ever could.
Thank you so much for that.
