I work with one. She is 35 and 5 foot and weights 90 pounds. She just advised me that her fat body index went up 10% in the last month. She is always dieting, she is a size 0. She looks haggard and old. Anyway I feel so fat after this weekend. I feel like I have J LOW butt and here is my co-worker telling me she is fat! She is a great girl and there is no one to help her not even her mother.
It works for JLo, if I had her butt I would be real happy. ;) That's the one thing I like about her, she apparently is happy with her body and doesn't allow the ptb to pressure her to starve herself to look like a skeleton with skin on.
I know several people like your coworker. It's sad what people do to themselves trying hit some magical number on a scale. Health means nothing to them. They are mentally ill.
I am reading a pretty good book by Deborah Low right now called: "The Quest for Peace, Love and a 24 Inch Waist". She addresses the problem with the constant dieting mindset and how we as women miss out on living our lives now chasing the perfect body.
Good luck with your co-worker. She'll need some.
A strange possibility coming from our Botox crowd may offer some real promise for those really bad cases of ED's. Botox injections into the abdominal wall muscles paralyzes them and the ED can't purge what they ate. That still leaves laxatives, diuretics, enemas, and such, but those can be access controlled in a situation where the ED patient needed an intervention.
