Great pic! I love the different textures of muscles and bone and the lighting, plus the sinew and intensity of the hands grasping at the skin.

Ahh... this sends me back...
Yeah.
You can never reach perfection...

Very hard to look at it. But for the same reason that makes me cringe, is the same reason I cannot look away. This is astounding. Excellent job.

I'm thinner than this, and I'm not anorexic. LOOKS LIKE YOU STILL HAVE WORK TO DO, FATTY.

that hurts...
I suffered through this disease and it's jokes like that, that make people with anorexia feel the need to be skinnier.
You need to think before you post a comment like that... It's hurtful no matter if you are joking or not
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
I agree. I never had anorexia but I already find it offensive. People should be more careful with their jokes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
In a world where people specifically look for things to be offended over, imagine the part of an individual who goes about using humour in order to bring people back down to earth and have them actually think for a change about what they read, what they see on TV, what they hear from random people, and what exactly those things are worth. It's mindsets like yours, not comments like mine, that cause anorexia and bulimia. Use your brain.

I went to treatment for anorexia. I know that if you said this to me back when I was 15... I would starve myself. I personally find your comment offensive.
There's no point in continuing this.. Have a nice day
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You were already starving yourself. There's little worse for an anorexic than posting a self-congratulatory image and getting "support". If the photographer is anorexic, he will hopefully eventually realize that his thoughts concerning the matter are ill-conceived, no thanks to the "sad" people, and if not, there's a horrible little comment that people with a disgusting sense of humour like mine will enjoy. Whether or not you take offence is a point I really don't care about. Sleep well.

its not a "self-congratulatory" image. and the photographer isn't actually anorexic.

So, jokes about you being underweight made you want to be more underweight?
How was that going to solve the problem? O-o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it doesn't solve the problem, I agree
I went to treatment for anorexia
but calling an anorexic person fat doesn't solve it either; it makes it worse
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
S/He wasn't actually calling the person fat.
S/He was making a joke about how they're thinner than the 'anorexic' person in the photo.
People need to remember to not take things literally all the time.
They also made a good point-
Not all people who are very, very skinny are anorexic.

Thank you for voicing your opinion politely. I really really appreciate it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm amazed someone can post a comment like this to a picture like this.
You may mean this as a 'joke'. But, you know, people with eating disorders can be triggered very easily and you seriously think before saying something so...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can guarantee I know more about eating disorders than you do. Don't presume to lecture me. In a sea of sobbing and uneducated sympathy, try and enjoy a little bit of humour.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
If jokes like that worked I think people would use them more often. but oh wait they don't. don't waste your time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's just that: a joke. Comment once. Wastes less time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not wasting my time, I'm just helping you realize these "jokes" do nothing to help. But you're in denial so I might as well be wasting my time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Didn't say they do anything to help. I said they're better than your weeping.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then what do you expect to achieve with it? Clearly your joke is not better than my so-called "weeping" because your words can actually cause someone harm whereas us "weepers" do not. doh
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, yes, you are, as I explained. I'm not going to reiterate. And I'm glad to hear the photographer is not anorexic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Whatever the hell you are trying to communicate you're doing a bad job at. If you have future patients you'll have to be good in this category otherwise you'll get people like me and everyone else that commented. And also, like i said, this isn't a psych's office, its the internet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Correct. It is the internet. The internet is not where I take on patients; it's where I joke around and don't give a fuck what people think about it. So where exactly are you trying to take this conversation? The psych's office or the internet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That was your fault I pointed out. Wonderful. You're just a random person with dumb comments that needs to gtf off then. Most professionals don't act like a dick on the internet and carry their professional quality to most places. Stuff like that can be discovered and reported. But you don't have that title yet. Hopefully you'll learn one day.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You clearly know oh so much about professional practice. Sorry, but the world isn't quite as peachy as you seem to think it is. I'm quite entitled to be a "dick" and, as I've stated, sometimes being a dick is quite necessary. But have fun with your rainbows and lollypops.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So in the end you're just a jerk and I'm a good person. I'll take rainbows and lollipops any day.
Have fun being a psych, you sound totally passionate about it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am, but as it is now, I already have a PhD in trolling.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wow. If you know so much about it, you are 10 times more insensitive to post something like this.
There is no humor.
If it was me in my days back then, and you had just posted a comment like that to me. You'd have just pushed me over on one of my episodes, how do you know what this person is going through? Did you think of that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thing is, I didn't post it to you. I posted it to a photographer. Use your brain.

this is a public webpage after all...

I don't even know if the person in the photo has anorexia or not. I'm fairly certain you don't know it either. What if he *does*? Yes, I'm putting myself in his shoes, because that's what one does before acting 'do to the other what you'd have done to yourself'. It's called 'thinking' and being 'sensitive'.
If you say 'i know a lot about eating disorders' I can come to assume maybe you suffered from one yourself or maybe someone close to you did. What do you think you'd feel if you'd have gotten a comment like that?
Just don't throw that out so casually because you 'assume' the photographer doesn't have anorexia for real.

I'm actually a psychologist in training. I've dealt with individuals with various eating disorders, male and female. And while I have not had an eating disorder, I have other issues that I'm more than happy to even make fun of myself. That's how you keep yourself grounded. The moment you start taking offence, you start feeling sorry for yourself, and where does that take you? It takes you down the path of "this is an illness and I have no control over it; woe is me," which is counterproductive. Is that the answer you were looking for?
As for the photographer, who is also the model, I've seen other things by him and his comments, sometimes regarding himself. He's a pretty bang-up individual and I don't think he'll be as quick as you to jump to negative conclusions. His self-esteem is unlikely to be damaged by what even you noticed immediately to be a humorous comment.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow. You are a psychologist in training? You are *seriously* a psychologist in training?
Wow.
I don't even know what to say anymore.
That's just. Wow.
Good luck with that.
ps: you definetly don't know more about eating disorders than i do. You could read a million books on it. I've lived it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh boy. You've read books and you've had it. Well gee. I guess you know everything about the various ideas on it, its history, therapies, controversies, etc. Oh, and how about its etiology, interactions with personality traits, sociology, prime demographics, prevalence? You've had it, and presumably you've been treated: maybe you don't remember that the first thing they did, possibly after feeding you, was to reduce the illusions you had of people's views and opinions of your figure, most likely by using examples.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
In a controlled environment, not on the internet. Brilliance.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I said:
*You* can read millions of books on it. I never did, nor do I want to.
But it's still *me* and your poor patients who will ever truly understand. Because it's out bodies and lives. Not yours.
Those 'big' words mean nothing to me. And honestly, they just make you sound extremely arrogant
Really, when I said 'good luck', I meant it. You're going to need it. Got to work a lot on your people's skills if you're ever going to get through to a person on a fragile stage. I'd have never trusted someone with an attitude like that to take care of me back then.
And if you couldn't tell by the 'ps' (that's what one uses after they're done saying all they could possibly say). This conversation is over
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Books tend to be useless. I read scientific journals and peer-reviewed studies, though. Do those count?
Those words unfortunately encapsulate what you don't understand, and why your own offence to my comment does not mean anything at all.
I frankly don't need luck. There are quite enough useless psychologists out there, and I don't plan on being one of them. Unfortunately for people like you who think that the world should just be one giant shoulder to cry on, that means being a little less nice and a little more pragmatic. Not that that has anything really to do with the topic at hand.
I couldn't tell the conversation was over because you kept replying.

So much for that, you haven't helped a thing.
