An Alarming Trend (or the searches for Anorexia)
Once again, I should be packing, for the trip to Utah. Only, I’m a little concerned. I was watching the web server logs (as I am sometimes want to do) and I noticed that someone came in from google with a search for Anorexia. Being the curious guy that I am, and the Linux nut that I am, I grabbed the info.
This site was hit 70 times since the beginning of March.
People, that’s almost twice a day. All because of the entry where I say Drew Barrymore is looking Anorexic. (Which, in my mind, she is.)
It’s not nice searches either. Here are some examples.
HOW+TO+BE+ANOREXIC
how+to+be+an+anorexic
i+want+to+be++an+anorexic
anorexic+looking
anorexic+for+two+weeks
anorexic%20tips
great+ways+to+stay+anorexic
want+to+be+anorexic
Website+if+someone+wants+to+be+anorexic
And the list goes on, and on, and on. 70 searches worth. There were only 5-9 searches that weren’t on how to become Anorexic.
If you are thinking of trying to become Anorexic, DON’T.
Girls, there is so much that is beautiful about the female body. Being proportional is good, but don’t become too thin. That’s not attractive.
Guys, there are some of you out there. I know. Don’t fall into this trap either. It’s not just a girl problem. I don’t know. Girls that read this Blog (There are a few of you) Do you find skeletally thin men attractive?
So, instead of saying “You need to be like Hollywood (Renee Z., Drew B, etc) I’m going to list a few sites I found by searching google.

Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders
ED Info Pages
Like I said, there is a point, where too much is too much. You are Beautiful, you are Divine. Never forget that.
Dude, that’s nuts. Can you imagine telling yourself, “Man, I wish i could look like a starving Ethiopian child. Let me google that and see what the 10 steps are.”
Crazy.
Oh my gosh, that’s so disturbing.
I have to give a big ICK on the skinny guy thing. I dated a really skinny guy for a couple of months and I really had to convince myself that maybe possibly I could be attracted to him. He was so great and we had so much in common… Yeah, no. There just has to be some chemistry.
And I don’t know if it’s just a Boston Mormon guy thing, or if it’s a universal Mormon guy thing, but the guys out here seem to be of the short and skinny or super tall and skinny varieties. Neither of which does much for me. I prefer taller than me by several inches with some substance to him. I really don’t want to feel like I could squash a guy. Yeah, that makes me feel all feminine and pretty.
I dated a skinny guy for a while too. Very uncomfortable snuggling.
Yeah, I don’t want no girl that’s all skelatal 😉
