In this era when thinness is the beauty, many people are saying this.

Take illegal diet pills, acupuncture weight loss, go on a diet or even go on a hunger strike ... Some people do not hesitate to harm their own lives to accomplish the great cause of losing weight.

As everyone knows, every crazy weight loss is a silent abuse of the body.

Xiao Gan, a 2 1 year-old girl, almost lost her life because of excessive dieting.

Height 1.67 meters, after three years of "suicide" weight loss, she weighs only 50 kg.

For Xiao Gan, "obesity" was once a taboo word.

Since childhood, Xiao Gan's mother has strictly controlled her body shape.

After entering the university, being a Art Candidates made her more sensitive to "fat" and unwilling to go out shopping with her thinner roommate.

But at that time, Xiao Gan, who was 18 years old and weighed 1 10 kg, actually belonged to the normal thin type.

But Xiao Gan will still be depressed for a long time because the counselor commented that "you have gained weight recently".

Xiao Gan, who has been troubled by obesity cognition for a long time, embarked on the road of losing weight.

Initially, she dieted and lost weight through meal replacement powder, enzymes, nutritional powder, L-carnitine and other health foods that claimed to have the function of losing weight.

As she lost weight, her appetite became worse and worse.

She experienced three meals a day to one meal a day, then she didn't want to eat, and the chocolate was put down when she smelled it.

Slowly, the emotions and symptoms of anorexia appeared on her.

She began to calculate the calorie intake according to the number of rice grains, then consumed calories by skipping rope, and finally she couldn't be satisfied until she vomited all the food.

This kind of low-energy life, Xiao Gan persisted for three years. The effect of losing weight is amazing-60 pounds.

But this 50-pound body is not beautiful at all, crumbling and on the verge of collapse.

Xiao Gan was too weak to walk, and began to congestion and fester.

Diagnosed by doctors, she suffers from anorexia nervosa, severe malnutrition and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.

"It is a miracle that she is still alive after three years of low-energy diet." The doctor said.

After admission, Xiao Gan still didn't give up her obsession with thinness, and once refused to eat.

The rash on the arm, the bruise on the back, and the big hole in the back of the ankle … these terrible symptoms are distressing.

Due to long-term severe malnutrition, Xiao Gan's brain tissue degenerates and is very fragile. She fell down during hospitalization and experienced two cerebral hemorrhage.

Fortunately, she didn't become a vegetable because of brain injury, but had two brain operations. After sleeping for 40 days, she woke up and erased the memory of losing weight for three years. According to the doctor's speculation, Xiao Gan's "amnesia" may be due to memory impairment caused by brain trauma.

"I especially hope that my weight can rise to 120 Jin!"

After waking up, Xiao Gan fell in love with eating. For her, these three years of crazy dieting are like a forgotten nightmare.

Dieting, hospitalization, cerebral hemorrhage, coma and awakening, at this point, Xiao Gan's weight loss journey finally ended.

Like Xiao Gan, many people are caught in the quagmire of losing weight crazily.

In a post called "induce vomiting", more than 42,000 people with eating disorders shared the secret of inducing vomiting, the pleasure of losing weight and the despair of getting fat.

Xiao Hu is one of them.

After every meal, she would hide in the toilet and press down the root of her tongue hard until the blood rushed to her head and the food in her stomach gushed out of her throat.

The beginning of Xiao Hu's weight loss is a physical examination in senior three.

"Height 160cm, weight 132kg".

The eyes of all the students gathered, and at that moment, she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground.

So she started exercising and dieting.

Three months later, she lost 20 pounds, and her desire for carbohydrates overshadowed her determination to lose weight. She began to overeat.

Guilt swept through, and Xiao Hu opened the valve to induce vomiting, which was out of control.

A little physical change will make Xiao Hu feel that he has changed back to the "big fat man" before, and his mind is full of fat. After vomiting, she was relieved.

Xiao Hu's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and anxiety and depression are gradually eroding her heart.

When physical and mental health is devastated, "suicide" weight loss may even kill people.

According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), anorexia nervosa is characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss. About 90%-95% of anorexia patients are women; 5%-20% anorexia patients will die, which is one of the mental diseases with the highest mortality.

Both stars and ordinary people may be shrouded in the shadow of "suicide" to lose weight.

Karen Carpenter, a famous singer, died of anorexia nervosa after dieting for a long time and taking laxatives in order to keep slim. Isabelle Caro, a French female model, suffered from anorexia for more than ten years and died at the age of 28.

This has nothing to do with weight and figure, money and reputation, but only with one thing-self-disgust.

The overall social and cultural environment has aggravated the girl's self-loathing.

A short video on Youtube called Dear Fatty has attracted a lot of attention.

In this video, Nicole Arbour, a Canadian comedian, spits at the fat man in an extremely disgusting tone:

"Fat people are like bloated monsters."

"If you get any fatter, you will explode."

"Admit it, you are lazy and greedy. If you become so fat, you will go to the hospital because of a heart attack sooner or later. This is suicide. "

Such fierce words quickly caused public controversy, and this short video was subsequently suspended by Youtube, and the broadcast volume has exceeded 2 1 10,000.

Regarding the video being banned, Nicole Arbour said that she was trying to remind overweight people to stay healthy, although in an exaggerated way, and said that if someone felt offended, they should make up their minds to lose weight.

In daily life, "obesity humiliation" is not uncommon.

I don't know when people associate "fat" with ugliness, laziness, lack of self-control and gloomy life, which inspires people's fear of fat and hatred and attack on themselves.

This simple and rude attribution has aggravated the anxiety of many girls.

As a result, some people fall into a vicious circle of overeating and crazy weight loss.

Once you step into the abyss, it's hard to turn back.

"Actually, I feel quite good myself, but whenever I want to stop, I brush my circle of friends and look at the comments below by beauty bloggers in Weibo, and I feel that everything is not good."

Xiaoyu, who has lost too much weight, always feels that there always seem to be countless pairs of eyes watching her critically and countless pairs of mouths commenting on her critically.

Kelli Jean Drinkwater called this idea "obesity phobia" and "fed up with the fear of fat" in her TED talk.

"In the culture we live in, obese people are regarded as bad people-lazy, greedy, unhealthy, irresponsible and morally degraded. We tend to think that thinness is a universal advantage-responsibility, success and control over our appetite, body and life. "

The pressure from public opinion and the exaggeration of mass media have finally led to many people's inferiority and anxiety about their bodies.

In this harsh society, how should we treat ourselves?

Lizzie Velasquez gave her answer-only accepting oneself can lead a wonderful life, which is the best response to this critical society.

Because of Marfan's syndrome, she is skinny and blind in one eye.

Lizzie was once satirized as "the ugliest woman in the world", maliciously ridiculed by countless people, and accused of committing suicide immediately if she could do a good deed for the world.

However, she is still alive, happy and active, even standing on the stage of TED, and all this stems from her parents' words-"You do have a disease, but it doesn't define who you are".

Lizzie began to re-examine herself:

How about being blind in one eye? You can save money on buying contact lenses;

What about skinny people? I can eat freely anytime and anywhere;

How about suffering from chronic diseases? What if you are laughed at? I can still use my story to bring optimism and happiness to countless people and give people hope and confidence.

Yes, no one can really define you, except yourself.

Of course, this does not mean that the pursuit of a good figure is a bad thing. Remolding yourself is also a manifestation of self-esteem, but only if you do it for your health, happiness and aesthetics, rather than forcing yourself to become thinner based on public opinion.

Like Kelly Jane drinkwater? It is said that people should pay more attention to mental health, self-worth and feelings about their own bodies, which are important aspects of overall happiness as a healthy person.

The book "Change begins with accepting yourself" says:

"Learning to respect yourself is a long journey for a person, and those who already know how to respect themselves and live according to their own wishes deserve not only the respect of others, but also the applause and admiration of others."

Accepting oneself is the premise of remolding oneself, and it is also an important opportunity to promote life change.

Compared with living in other people's comments, living confidently and beautifully is the best way to live.

Give the article a compliment and hope that our society will be less picky about the body.
