I'm serious, it is one thing to have pride in your appearence and to be healthy and fit, but I just saw in the news another model died from anorexia. But it's not just models, My mother has a friend whos beautiful 16 year old daughter is currently in the hospital from anorexia. Practically every female I know and lots of males too are obsessed with their appearence and weight. I know too, I've always had an extra 20 lbs and it has tortured me my whole life. I never developed an eating disorder just cause I'm a strong willed girl but I'd be lying to say it hasn't made me very very depressed at times. But why? People today are looking like walking skeletons, I wanna know where all these obese Americans are supposed to be (besides walmart, ha ha joke) cause all I see are starving people everywhere. Does anyone else think enough is enough?!

Yes of course it is! LIke all those NIcole Richies and Lindsey Lohans, they need to eat.
Being plus sized is just fine, its a problem when you are obese or anorexic. I am a "big girl" but I love the way I look, okay I'll admit I would like to shed some pounds and gain some muscle after havin my child but I am greatful for my body and I wouldn't want to be a unatractive anorexic girl or a great big obese slob.

my sister is anorexic and its not her fault completely. if she's not hungry then why should she be forced to eat. and she has tried to gain weight but its hard for her. a long time ago i was food poisoned and i got really sick at the time i was 107lbs and i was 12 and when that happened i lost 10 lbs in 3 days. and didnt gain it back for 2 years. that's only because my dad was a truck driver and i went on the road with him when i first met him at 14 years old. then i gained 60 lbs in 6 months. but i ate all the time and couldnt gain weight for 2 years. plus models, actors etc are making it a fad and if they do it everyone thinks its cool. so when they stop and gain weight maybe others will too.

Yes it has alot to do what we grow up around. Like our culture, whats on tv, whats on magazines. Most fashion and model agencies center around one type of women...thin ones. So we grow up and live the life that if thats all we see around we too must do that or look them. Then it gets out of had to where they have to be the best, and do the best.
