Reston weighed only 88 pounds (40 kg) and was about 5 feet 8 inches tall

That is just awful.

Fayg designers, who like their women to look like boys.

I personally believe that Nicole Ritchie's skinny act is for publicity's sake. She's a bizarre looking mediocrity who has gotten tons of magazine covers simply because she won't eat.

That said, I do believe that anorexia is a real mental disorder and it must be heartbreaking to watch someone fade away by their own doing and you cannot stop them.

BINGO.

The models think they're attractive. Personally I think bony women are horrible looking. Same with bony men.

Some Americans lack food, but USDA won't call them hungry

Because they want women to be walking clothes hangers.

How do you prefer your men?

I once saw a girl in Atlanta that had a body like this..she was SO skinny, and the skin so taut on her face, it was like looking at a skull with a thin layer of skin over it..truly disgusting..I told her she needed something to eat and in a hurry..she showed me a candy bar with one bite taken and told me it was her dinner, she didn't want to get fat (she threw out the rest of the bar)..that woman could have gained 50 pounds and STILL been skinny..

Who decided to let gay men decide the "ideal" woman? Is it any wonder why the fashion industry wants their female models to look like young boys?

I was diagnosed with anorexia in high school and I weighed 120 lbs. at 5'7". I was borderline anemic by then.

I don't know why, but I got to where I couldn't make myself eat without horrible guilt feelings. Not even a lifesaver or a mint. Once in awhile, if I got dizzy or passed out, I'd eat a sandwich. Usually when a friend would make me.

I weigh a lot more than that now that I quit smoking and had all the plumbing yanked out!

[confederacy of dunces]

The models think they're attractive.

Actually, the ones who are truly anorexic think they're fat. It's an awful disorder.

[Old Grumpy]

As friends. Hah!

[Bahbah]

I know someone very dear to me who had this problem...same guilt for eating anything. We nearly lost her, but 5 years later she is doing fine. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving. I am so very glad that you are doing well.

Homina-homina-homina. Not.

I got a whole bunch of those in an email the other day.

Any idea as to their origin?

You need to post those other pics you sent out of all the underweight sticks
