Maybe you should eat that cookie

I’m 5′ 11″, and in my skinniest, tiniest days back at around age 19, I was modeling a bit. I was a size 4. While I didn’t have an eating disorder, I would regularly pass out if I didn’t eat enough. I was much too thin to be heathly, and everyone around me knew it. Yet, the message I always got from agencies was, “you could really stand to lose about 10 pounds”. Ten pounds of what? Bone mass?

Oh gosh no! I pulled the quote out of an interview with her. That's some model's picture from 2007

be careful posting things like this
it could be a "trigger" for someone who is/has recovered from ana or mia
i myself when i was a teenager used to suffer from an ED
and things like this would make me not eat or purge like crazy
just a precaution for all MPF users.

Do you really think so?

I'm a recovered anorexic and it just made me more thankful that I am no longer that way.

I think that these girls have a bigger problem than I do. I hope that they get help and put some meat on those bones. Fitness is when you look and feel good. No Way are they doing either. My prayers are with them and anyone who has a weight problem. Seems like we have many extreems in the weight category.:frown: :frown: :frown:

Wow ... as I looked at these pictures it occurred to me that in the 50s the Marilyn Monroe voluptuous look was popular ... maybe because people had just seen the images of the victims of Dachau and Buchenwald coming out of the camps ...

Why is this considered attractive? I just don't get it. They look like prepubescent boys. I guess that is what some people are into ...

It could also be an eye opener for someone heading down that path.
