Poll: Which is worse: Obesity or anorexia?

I had diagnosed Anorexia years ago for 4 years, I was 85lbs. I recently lost nearly 3 stone after being almost clinically obese (I'm healthy now). So having suffered Anorexia , and also been almost obese at one point, I can tell you Anorexia is generally more dangerous.

I'm not saying obesity isn't dangerous, but health conditions because of obesity generally develop after years and slowly progress. Health complications due to Anorexia come on quickly, and are usually more serious. I had no periods for years (could have made me infertile), I lost hair, became anemic.

Starvation quickly causes your body to burn muscle, and in time this causes heart damage (remember, your heart is a muscle). Even without heart damage, starvation is very serious after long periods, and your electrolytes become unbalanced, which can cause a cardiac arrest (this is the main cause of death In anorexics). I would constantly have chest pains and palpitations.

Anorexiaactually kills a lot of people each year.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
