Size Zero.

size zero's deadly. People should not be encouraged to believe that so thin is beautiful.
Thin is UGLY!
Children are children. Adults should look like adults.
I know that there are self-esteem issues involved but these must be addressed.

I was 5 stone 4 when I was 23 - that was because I had cancer. My body could not cope with so little weight. I found it hard to stand up never mind exercise. I complain about excess weight now but I would rather be as I am than back to 5 stones.

This used to scare me when Isaw pupils in school with anorexia. It can make you feel so helpless.

When I was younger a friend of mine suffered from anorexia. She was slightly overweight and went to weight watchers. It then escalated, she felt that life was uncontrollable but she could control food! This apparently is common side effect. Now 15 years later she suffers from the effects to her major organs which is frightening.

Shocked

You can see more then their ribs you can see there hip bones sticking out and the bones in there legs.

I'm not deliberately a size 0 I eat loads, it's just the way I naturally am Laughing

I think stuart has just fallen off the sofa with laughter!! I agree, it's a horrible way to look, women are meant to have curves. It's sad that people do that, no chance of me doing it I love chocolatw way too much Laughing

People who suffer with a genuine eating disorder are not influenced by the media.

The eating order is about control and diversion.

They can't control elements of there life, but they can control their food intake or lack of depending on the symptoms of their eating disorder.

Also if someone is constantly obsessed by food, calories, weighing themselves etc, they can avoid dealing with the issues in their life that they cannot face.

Eating disorder patients are almost always compulsive in other ways and the disorder is often associated with self harming in other ways - often when the symptoms of the disorder are under control the compulsion can switch to compulsive shopping, binging, drinking, inappropriate sexual activity and cutting - the list goes on.

It is important to realize that bulimic or the compulsive overeater goes through the same emotional turmoil as the anorexic.

Although distressing, eating disorders are not always the worst thing, they can be a positive thing, a life saver in some circumstances. The person with an eating disorder has a coping mechanism which allows them to cope with life on a daily basis until they are ready to deal with serious issues.

A genuine eating disorder is NEVER a choice, it is serious mental illness
