I would like to apologize. I think I might be partly to blame for this. Today I watched a video on anorexia nerviosa, and it literally shocked me. I knew the effect on those suffering under it were bad, but I never knew and saw evidence such as was presented in the movie. I say I might be part to blame for this, since not once have I thought a normal sized woman was "fat" and would much rather prefer a girl that looks like a supermodel skinny. I realize now how daunting of a task it is to overcome self esteem issues related to image. I pledge, from now until my dying breath, to watch what I say in regards to women and their image. I will also, if the future allows me to be in a position that could warrant such power, to do my best in trying to stem the tide of this way to widespread and dangerous disease.

This revelation may or may not be in part due to the large amount of pomegranate I've gone through tonight to try and finish a coding assignment.

I will only comment on such things if she is freaking fat and a bitchy attitude. other than that. all girls are ok just the way you are cause youre born this way.. but if you wanna slim down, and think you cant, never say never. also, if anyone ever comments on your size, do it like a dude and shove that person from wall to wall.

It's a really terrible disease. Bulimia is another thing that is just much worse. There are a lot of movies and ad's that show how it really works. If you allow me, i'll videodump a few good ones about it.
Spoiler
For those who really think you need to be skinny to be happy, or that being skinny will make people think you look good. Calling someone a stick hurts the same way as being called a "fatty".
It doesn't affect only women, tho. There are many, a lot of men that have this, and it's as horrible as it is in women.
Fat is something good. I've been skinny for my whole life, my metabolism is just too fast, i love to eat a lot of things considered healthy, and it grants and makes me sorta unable to gain weight. I've been trying within time to get a little more fat, because i don't really like the fact i can't use a little bigger T-shirt without looking extremely weird.
I still wonder why people want to be more skinny, when i'm naturally like that and would love to have a little more weight. Because god, it's damn hard to gain weight when you want to.
Anorexia is as terrible as many other mental disease. It's not because it's an eating disease that it's not just ridiculously dangerous.
