Answer 1

Anorexics and bulemics sometimes suffer a psychological condition. Their lives are often out of control and their weight is the only thing they can control. This often happens with girls who grow up in a very strict, controlling home. Since their day and actions are controlled constantly, the only thing they can control is their weight so they become anorexic or bulemic.

Others are weight obsessed due to living in a society that makes women feel that they are less than human if they are not sickly thin. Unfortunately, men and society in general thinks that every female must be a model....that there is no such thing as "too thin".

Karen Carpenter (from the singing duet the"Carpenters") became anorexic after seeing a few newspapers call her "fat" . It devastated her self esteem. Of course, much was made of her losing weight but not that she was "too thin". Unfortunately, this talented lady died due to her anorexia. She had developed such a fear of eating and getting "bad press". Many tv and movie celebrities have had the same reason for becoming shadows of their former selves.

I hope that the day will come when females are accepted for the size they are and for who they are...that they are not expected to weigh in at less than 100 pounds.
