The girls at Jezebel posted this clip of 19-year-old Cassie, an anorexic who can no longer throw up the tiny amount of food she eats, since she’s lost her gag reflex.
So now she puts a tube down her throat and suctions it out.
Full clip is here. Don’t watch it if you plan to eat in the next few hours. Or if you have any undigested food in your stomach. (Cassie doesn’t!)
Just a friendly reminder from Evil Beet, that, although we make fun of fat people and show a lot of pictures of ridiculously skinny people, eating disorders are really gross and tragic and pathetic in actuality, and anorexic chicks are totally not hot (if you were a guy, would you want to be in bed with that?). And if you know someone who’s suffering from an ED, or if you’re suffering yourself, get your ass some help before you’re sticking tubes down your mouth.

it’s an illness, not a choice!!
i really don’t care for the tone and judgement i sense in this article… *disappointed*
Yikes! What a sad case.
@Lindsay:
To clarify, I completely understand that it’s an illness, not a choice, and I’ve watched close friends struggle with it. I guess I’m just looking to put forth anything to deter young women from going down this path. I apologize if it offended you.
sad =[
but good on you beet for putting the help link on there.
and keep not smoking – you rock
Lindsay, are you kidding me with this? OK, well its an illness that starts with a choice, if you want to get into all of that. i have little sympathy for people with eating disorders, because i was anorexic for 4 years and i MADE THE CHOICE every single day, NOT to eat. Then i MADE THE CHOICE to have a life of quality, and I am a regular healthy person now (and have been for the last 8 years). I hate it when people say its not a choice. thats so freaking retarded. And dont hate on the Beet; i didnt get the vibe that she had a “tone” or was passing “judgment”. She simply wanted to show us the skinny oddity, who voluntarily shoved a tube down her bony throat, on the Tyra show. And she wrote a disclaimer and provided a link. i say good job, EB!
man i feel bad
how can you do that to yourself and be okay????
but its a choice lindsay not an illness. it starts off as a choice.
and ive seen friends that struggled with this
but they made a choice, and they made a choice to get healthy
and now their fine
but to shove a tube down your throat?
it just seems so sad.
Beet: You’re a good woman. thanks for the response. =)
Skye: ok… well, you made the choice not to eat but people with eating disorders believe that there is something wrong with their [perfectly good] bodies as they are, which is the DISORDER part of the disease.. it may be a choice not to eat, but these people don’t choose to have such a distorted view of reality that encourages them to become sick, that’s all..
I can’t watch that video. My fat ass has never really dealt with this kind of thing, but I’ve had tubes shoved up my nose and down my throat ** different kind of bullshit, it’s call I party my ass off way too hard**, and that shit is horrific and disgusting and omg… just the thought of that is making me gag. I will never look at a garden hose or airline tubing the same for the rest of my days. BLECH!!!!!
Damn this….I, for example, look like an anorexic, but am not one. I’m struggling for ages to gain weight but it is my metabolism. I burn fat like hell burns I-don’t-know-what! I just don’t understand why some people, most of them looking absolutely fine, even gorgeous, would hurt their bodies in that way. Why? I’m terrified at throwing out! My god!
Can someone help this girl instead of inviting her to a TV program to tell how does she punish her mind and body, in front of millions of viewers?
annorexia nervosa is a mental disease, but there are people that just like decide to not eat, which isnt the exact same thing as annorexia nervosa, since the mental disease isnt a choice.
God bless that girl, and give her the help she needs to triumph over this. May she be a detterent to others who would do the same.
One of my friends died from anorexia. Everyone thought she was over it, and one day she just dropped dead — her heart couldn’t take it anymore. My friend’s fiancee only eats lettuce — she will not listen to me at all and doesn’t believe she’s killing herself. I think she would rather be dead than ‘fat’.
Of COURSE a guy would want to be with a girl like that… no gag reflex!
…I’m officially going to hell.
this is really sad… i mean, a day doesn’t go by where i wouldn’t love to lose 10 pounds, but this is horrible. how can she live without enjoying the taste of CHOCOLATE.
sucks how we’re all so obsessed with our weight.
@ Mercy
haha, i was totally thinking that same thing when i saw this.
you have to post public service announcements now too?
grrrr all this regulating is stressing me out!
Tyra’s going to have her audition for America’s Next Top Model, but Miss Jay is gonna smack her for falling on the runway. Fuck P.C. hehe
how was tyra’s clip of that girl not a how-to guide for other anas (or whatever they call themselves)? just because she repeated die a few times? i’m sure that’s enough of a deterrent; if i was trying to kill myself i’d totally be scared by someone telling me i could die from an all new way of offing myself.
on a less serious note, too bad cum has calories because the post-fun tube down the throat would be quite the buzz kill.
@Mercy:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
regarding the “illness” question… that’s lame. That’s like an alcoholic saying they have no control b/c they have a disease. I used to be anorexic when I was young and in gymnastics. It’s just the same as the person who eats a gallon of ice cream, a bag of oreos and a tub of fried chicken for breakfast and then says they couldn’t help themselves. Of course you can help yourself, you just choose not to and you choose to give in to your DESIRE. Being anorexic or bulimic your desire is to be skinny no matter what. It’s called Self control vs. being a victim.
Wow. As the girl on the show, half of these posts are so insulting.
Hey this is Cassie’s sister, the one from the show. Let me clue ya’ll in… YA’LL DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING SO SHUT THE FUCK UP! And Skye if you REALLY were anorexic, and not a wannarexic, you would know that the ticks that drive you to vomit after you eat half a grape aren’t a choice. They are as natural and uncontrolable as blinking, but you wouldn’t know that woud you? And for those guys who haven’t gotten laid in so long that they can relate something as heartbreaking as starving yourself literally to death… to a fucking blow job…. I hope you do go to hell! And did any of ya’ll realize that Cassie read this shit and said that it was insulting? Prolly not because ya’ll were too busy thinking that your opinions were worth a fucking penny.
Anorexia is not a “disease”, the same as alcoholism isn’t. They are both disorders that originate in the mind of the individual for many reasons. They do cause other problems to occur in the individual, such as poor health and obviously affect lifestyle drastically. They are both habitual though and neither need a “cure” just for the person to eat properly or drink sensibly as appropriate. I do get pissed off with people blanketing a problem with a label that is just bollocks, I have every sympathy for anyone suffering with these afflictions but the only people that can help them is themselves and the way they think and deal with things.
I believe that anyone can change if they truly want to.
Wow you’re sort of a moron. It’s a fucking disease! My sister died of Anorexia at age 15, & it’s not because she didn’t want to get well. She went in treatment several times & willingly at that. We would sit with her hours on end just so she could eat a piece of bread. She tried with all her heart. Even eating as the tears rolled down her face. So don’t even!
Wow EvilMatt, could you be more of an ignorant jackass? Do you always comment on topics you know nothing about? As the sister of the girl you are talking about… I am offended by your stupidity! When someone is truely anorexic the need to vomit after you eat half a fucking grape comes as natural as blinking. You wouldn’t know a fucking disease if it came up to you slapped you in your ugly ass face and called you by name! You get pissed when people label a problem, well you’re gunna hate me because I see you as the problem and I label you IGNORANT FUCKING DICK! Say something back… I FUCKING DARE YOU!
all of you need to chill. you are not thinking about the topic just about telling eachother stuff. if you really cared or your comments are important do something about it don’t blog about it…. whoever has this disease i hope you get the help you need and want.
You people are so fucking retarded you have no fucking idea as an anorexic myself i know how hard it is it’s not something we want to do it might start off as simple as wanting to lose weight and going on a diet but it sure as hell isnt like that anymore anorexia is something that’s with you for life and always has been with you somewhere inside your head i remember hating my body and cutting out food from the age of 8! you’re all ignorant twats all i know is for me eating isnt something i can just do and it goes far deeper than just the food i prefur to stand as it burns 40 more calories an hour than sitting this IS a mental problem i’ve came to terms with that but you fucking arseholes making fun of girls like us? it’s people like you i’m sure who bullied other kids in school people like you who make girls like us feel fat and hate our bodys people like you who sart this shit in the first place you should all be ashamed
How could you make fun of an anorexic person like this? i suffer from anorexia nervosa, it’s hell. Dont dare make fun of things you dont understand, its a disease, and your making fun of this girl becuase shes anorexic? its not all about being thing, its not all about food, its a complex diesase that carrys many effects and causes, i think that this article with those rude comments and the persue that you were writing it in shows that you think that anorexia nervosa is pathetic and disgusting. its not. its a serious diseasae.
EVILBEET
I cant belive how ridiculous this article is.
For a start, this just shows the lack of understanding and ignorance you really do have.
Eating Disorders are Not gross OR Pathetic, more and more children/teenagers/adults are dealing with this everyday, and coming from somebody who is halfway there to recovery, living with an ED is one of the worst things imaginable, the constant Guilt, fear of eating.
Its easy to say ‘Get your ass some help’ But not everybody who is dealing with an issue like this is ready to pour their heart out to some stranger who’s only way of understanding is the fact they’ve studied physcology for five years.
EvilBeet you really do contradict yourself.
Quote, ‘although we make fun of fat people…’
If anybody who is still suffering from an ED reads that line, how on earth do you think this will make them feel?
On one tone you’re taking the Mick out of overweight people, then you’re doing the same to people who are struggling with Eating disorders, You really are a Joke!!!
As for the comment about the guy being in bed with the girl who has the ED, did you ever stop to think that Boys/Men do also suffer from Eating Disorders too?
I suggest you do some thinking, instead of concentrating on your good for nothing Article, which can only have a negative effect on its readers.
Have some respect. Why post this unless you wanted people to point and laugh.
Retards.
oh and to “ANGRY AT YOU” if you are refuring to people with eating disorders FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO HAVE A DISORDER LIKE ME OR HER UNLESS YOU WALKED A MOTHA’ FUCKING MILE IN OUR GOD DAMN SHOES FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING BITCH GO TO FUCKING HELL AND BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK YOU,
HOLLY
I am very disgusted by this,…………But I am going to admit to any one who reads my comment that I have been suffering from anorexia/bulimia for 7-8 years now and have tried and tried to get help but because of the state I live in theres no one or place around that is able to help with someone who has a problem like mine the only way to get help is to go to a different state the only thing that the hospitals help with were I live are drug users and I think that is totally unfare because I am on the verge of dying I can feel it-it honestly gotten me to the point were I don’t care no more if I live or die because of the fact that there is no one around to help. You know what I don’t understand is that the girl in the video lost her “gag” reflexs and now needs to use a tube to get the food out of her stomach that she don’t want in there. well I myself have never had any “gag” reflexs in my life and what I do (get ready) I stick about 3 fingers down my throat with my right hand and at the same time put my left hand on my stomach and do a kind of (in and upwards) movement with that hand so it kind of (pushs) the food up and out of my stomach unlike her I only have had 3 little time I have had signs of blood out of the mouth and rear end. I am only posting all of this because I want help badly I want to change my life and for (me) to be the way I was before when I was comfortable with eating. for anyone who reads this I thank you greatly and send blessings for all the help you have or are trying to do.
Blessed Be,
Holly
you’re a fucking idiot holly
you’re a fucking idiot holly
My sister is dying of anorexia.
I try to tell her I love her and be her friend and not bring up her condition, but she just pushes me away and tells me I don’t love her.
I don’t know what she’s dealing with inside her head, but it’s difficult to deal with her acidic nature and try to show her my love at the same time.
It’s like she isn’t capable of thinking about anybody else’s feelings or doesn’t act like does can.
It makes me very very sad to know there are lots of people dealing with this, and plenty of internet communities that help facilitate dangerous behaviour.
i am anarexic and i think eb is a stubid dumbass bitch and i hope you go to hell
I like anorexic women’s as are skinny and I try to find one to married her. Vasilis2@cytanet.com.cy
