So you think fat is ugly..

What she said.

These girls have serious mental issues.....treatment is scarse/under resourced at best, the best they can do for most girls is get them to put on a bit of weight....but their headspace is still fucked

this is muchly true... the thing is... therapy is needed as well as kind of fource feeding these stick insects (no offence, but its true)...

I know someone who had problems in highschool with eating disorders and stuff, she's one of the most beautiful girls i know, and when she disappeared from school for a few months after steadily growing more skinny and more pale, we all knew what it was... but, she got back into a normal headspace, got some therapy and started eating again,and now she loves baking and cooking and is once again a good weight and curvey as a latino!evidence that people CAN get over this...It's just hard going to do so... and people who aspire to be thin are just kidding themselves... eat right and excersise regularely and you'll be guarenteed to be at your ideal weight... forget the BMI bullshit...

Had a little to do in the past with the world of modelling and very unfortunately, girls like these are a reality.
I've always been small boned, and so always on the "slight built" type and I used to get all sorts of comments between 16 and 20 years of age...it was hard for me to put on weight...meisuring 5.8" and weighing in at 45kgs, but I had always been as healthy as a horse and I certainly never looked like these girls.

Anorexia is a disease, but those girls start very young and the peer pressure for the absolutely thin look is unbelievable...

thankfully, runways around the world are now starting to change this around...for example, in Milan it is now forbidden to do catwalk work unless you have curves, real ones...

Hopefully, the mentalities are changing.

A GOOD JOKE TO TELL AN anorexiC CHICK IS THAT SHES FAT, SHE WILL LAUGH COS anorexiC CHICKS ARNT FAT!!! LOL!! ROFLCOPTER!

Not making light of the anorexia thing but how can young girls look at those things and say to themselves i want to look like that There about as sexy as a third ball on a greyhound.

It's yet another mental illness - this time manifesting itself as body dismorphia. Those poor chickies will look at themselves in the mirror and see someone two stone overweight!!

Interestingly, it is very much a rich western society disease. In cultures where people have to worry about surviving, eg because of war or starvation, or it is a subsistance culture, anorexia doesn't exist.

And now I've just seen the post which shows it has been photoshopped! Why bother? Someones put a hell of a lot of time and effort into falsifying facts to prove their point. I don't get it.

The pictures are photoshopped.

I'll go looking for the link...and the originals. They are thin but not as thin as the photos in the first post.

It's a hoax.

WTF is this about,why would anyone do this and more to the point why would anyone encourage it ?

The media, advertising, magazines, general western world attitudes toward
women and how they are "valued" (i.e., as physical objects) and the cultural construction of femininity......

Thats whos encouraging it....its an illness of epidemic proportion

Man that is so incredibly sad. Those women are bordering on being dead...literally. So Sad.

Good way to end up like that is when you have someone who on a daily basis tells you that you are fat, and keep on calling you "lard arse"

You eventually are unable to see the real you, even when you end up being skin and bones, all you see is the lies people are feeding you
