It’s sad but this is happening more and more often. These girls are extremely under weight. Some of them are like 5′11″ and they are supposed to weigh from 125lbs-148lbs on the HeightandWeight Scale and some of them weigh like 109lbs which is extremely unhealthy. When they are that thin some of them stop having periods, their hair and teeth could fall out, because their bodies are basically going into starvation. Now I want to become a model I am 5′10 and I weigh 125lbs, I am naturally skinny and I have a lot of muscle so I have no fat and what’s funny is that I love food and I have an A+ in the eating department! I eat almost all the time but I excersie regularly and I drink lots of water. I really do think that’s its gross that these girls purposely do this to themselves just to stay that sickly thin. They really do not understand the danger that are putting their bodies in and it makes me upset to see what happens to them. But, they know already its their choice not to do that to themselves.

Does no-one commenting in this forum REALISE that people who are looking at the models are not looking at what they are supposed to? If fashion where about the models, we would be popping into Gucci to buy a person! Does anyone here go into a clothes shop and look at the hangers, thinking ‘ooo, thats a nice hanger, I want to be just like it’? NO!!! And that is what these models are! Hangers!
I believe that models SHOULD be skinny. But, naturally skinny. The problem is, back in the day, models were PICKED. they looked that way NATURALLY. Now, girls see it as a career CHOICE, and try to fit themselves into that mould! Someone need to sit these girls down and say ‘honey, if ya too fat, ya too fat. deal with it. love yourself, go be a lawyer!’
In no way am i saying this to be derogatory, i myself was a model. Male, and 6ft 1 weighing 10stone, my bmi is underweight. I modelled during the dior ‘herionj chic’ phase. BUT it is natural! I eat, I work out, its just the way i am. i was PICKED, didnt strive to be a model. Thats the way it should work. These girls and their families are to blame, if you ask me.

Just like there are people who are genetically skinny, there are people who have really bad health conditions that make them overweight or obese like thyroid or other metabolic problems.Though not all people who are overweight or obese have these issues. I think we all have a problem with what is healthy and what isn’t and the only reason why is because we each have a different perception of what is healthy and what isn’t. My family is naturally chunky, and I have tried hard to be healthy. I have bulimia. I’ve also weigh a healthy weight for my height and weight according to the standards of the bmi index. But being a healthy weight doesn’t mean that you’re healthy. I’m not healthy and I’ll admit eating disorders are Americas problem. I’m not just saying anorexia and bulimia, I’m specifically targeting compulsive over eating. We cannot change what other people think, and some people are going to be skinny, just like some other people will eat one thing and feel their ass jiggle for a week, and either way I have no right to judge them. I think we should look to help people with any eating disorder with compassion instead of judgement. People are dying everyday in one of the richest countries in the world because we are never satisfied. You can look at satisfied in whatever way you might, but for a anorexic or bulimic it might be the strive to feel fine in their bodies, safe in their skin. For an over eater it might mean stuffing their unpleasant emotions down by stuffing their feelings down with food. Notice how I used “might” these are possibilities of the reasons for some of these issues not generalizations.

I think it is important that everyone know how much they influence other people, especially their children. Watch out what you say to them, and if someone in your family has an eating disorder help them. Be there for them even if you’re just listening. Eating disorders kill, and if you don’t believe me check out http:// http://www.somethingfishy.org

people need to focus on their mind to be healthy, not their body. With a healthy mind, the body follows. I use NLP to keep my mind buzzing, that and provigil

I’m sorry, but in a world with plentiful amounts of food, we have people starving in third world countries. These girls are starving themselves. They have access to how much food they want and i find it quite selfish that these people are doing this to themselves, and are starting to look like starving children in disadvantaged countries. appauling.
