One girl dared to show how she got into the tunnel of anorexia from diet , showing photos from when she was an overweight girl to photos where she was skinny, ate only 500 calories a day, exercised all the time and was came to weigh forty kilos. Too bad that her photos, from healthy girl to anorexic girl, were stolen from her to be used as an advertisement for a weight loss program : yes, photos of a very skinny girl exploited to sell a diet as if hers were a success story and not. the testimony of a serious eating disorder, for which many girls risk death. Anne Marie Sengillo’s discovery happened by chance: a friend showed her pictures of him on a slimming site. Anne Marie had used those same photos to give her testimony about the terrible disease that she thankfully was coming out of.
How is it possible that whoever stole her photos didn’t realize they were photos of an anorexic? How do you propose such an undernourished girl as a model of physical health? That’s what Anne Marie wonders, whose story was reported on Yahoo News. According to Claire Mysko, director of the National Eating Disorders Association , the case of Anne Marie’s photos is emblematic of the fact that our culture associates weight loss with an idea of ​​health always and in any case., and above all of beauty, instead of conveying the message, especially in a female audience, that beauty has no size or age and that you can be healthy even with a few extra pounds.
