Sorry I just reread your first post. You seem to be saying that if you tell an anorexic person they are pretty I will be enforcing their anorexia, and if you tell them they are ugly I will also be enforcing their anorexia. You don't mention it, but I suppose if I don't say anything, I silently encourage their behavior, too (being codependent or whatever).

So no matter what I do, I am an insensitive prick. See why I don't like your logic?

As I said in my other posts, I think there might be deeper issues behind anorexia than what you make them out to be. I really don't think it is about looks, that is just a vehicle.

Also, the girl from the article was not anorexic or at least the blogger doesn't mention it.
