| binary solo said: She looks like one of the "Prawns" from District 9 in that video. It's unnatural I tell you. What she says is so full of crap "I eat 3 big meals a day" "but I have a small stomach, so if I eat too much I feel sick" or words to that effect. Translation: I'm only telling half the truth, sure I eat quite a bit, but 90% of what I eat comes back up about 5 minutes later, out of anyones sight or hearing. I say she's got an eating disorder. I place the odds of her having a metabolic or genetic disorder as very low. A fast metabolism will only get you so far. But if you want to think she's all natural, go ahead, drink the kool aid she's serving. I know people who've come through eating disorders and I know people who are still living with their eating disorders, denying they have a problem. What she's saying reads just like the sort of thing the people who are in denial say. My friend who has recovered from an eating disorder would on occasion eat a whole king sized bar of chocolate while she was suffering from her disorder, but she was still grossly under weight and had terribly abnormal eating patterns. Just because people eat junk food doesn't their eating patterns are "normal". Eating disorders are addictions, just like alcoholism. How many alcoholics who are in denial do you know who accept being told that that their drinking patterns are abnormal? The all deny any abnormal drinking behaviour and try to paint their drinking as being no different to anyone elses, they just like having a good time. |
There are many disorders, but not all people are in denial about them. This thread is meant to be serious or not depending on how you want to answer. My point is not focused as much on the problems of individuals, but on the problems of society as a whole. I see mf gf and female friends and family constantly obssessed with weight issues to te point tof believing it is more attractive to be skinnier than what most men actually prefer. So I guess it is an issue I believe is worth trying to make people think about raher than just letting the media feed peoples minds on false beliefs on what is attractive.
