Random FAQs

Are Skinny Lady and Emaciated Lady your real names? No. If our parents really named us Skinny and Emaciated, we’d be even more fucked up than we already are.

Then what are your real names? If we told you, we’d have to kill you.

Are you really anorexic?  Read our blog and then tell us what you think. We value your opinion, just as we value the opinions of our many psychiatrists.

But you guys binge a lot. Anorexics don’t binge, do they? We like to think of eating disorder as a pendulum of sorts. Sometimes our eating disorder swings toward anorexia, and other times it swings toward binge eating.

Do you feel bad about promoting anorexia? No, because that’s not what we’re doing and we think this is obvious to people who actually read our blog.  Eating disorder is an all-consuming illness and we wouldn’t wish it on anyone (except maybe one or three people, but that’s all).

You ladies do realize that eating disorder isn’t funny? Yes, eating disorder is deadly and if we couldn’t laugh at the absurdity of our illness, we would’ve killed ourselves long ago. Humor is a coping mechanism, and people cope in different ways.

Have either of you sought treatment? Yes, on multiple occasions. Treatment obviously didn’t work, so we survive on anti-depressants and blogging.

Why do you hate fat people so much? The truth is, we hate everyone. Fat people just provide us with the most inspiration. 

Is Skinny Lady’s dog really anorexic? She hasn’t been evaluated by a psychiatrist yet, but she certainly looks anorexic. We’ll keep you posted.

Where do you find your images? Some of them we take ourselves, some of them we draw ourselves, and the rest we steal from others using Google image search.
