A lot of people still stumble upon the
"Too Skinny" pictures that I have posted on the site. (Warning: one of the pictures may not be safe for work.) Andrea was one such person, and decided to send in a picture of a real-life skinny model that she once worked with to serve as a comparison. She writes:
I worked for 3 seasons at dolce&gabbanna in milan, italy and all the girl models were very skinny but we had 2 anorexic/bulimic ones, one (the one in the pic) more than the other. The thing that really got to me while working there is that the girl with the best body (thin but curvy, great breasts, ass and legs) was the one that fit into less clothes, no jeans would close or even go all the way up! but even worse than that, there was this new collection of leather/plastic skirts and trousers that we could only fit on the model whose pic i'm sending, two of the trousers we'd even have to close them between 2 people because they were so small... and whenever she had to model those ones she would stop eating for a day or two. To each their own ideas, but i saw her wasting away, partly fault of the fashion industry and i don't think that is right.
I agree that the girl in the picture is very skinny, but thankfully she's nowhere near as skinny as the models in the Too-Skinny pictures (which are all fake, by the way).

Hannah--there are some very good support groups both online and offline for women who need help with their unrealistic body images. Be happy with who you are. Do not compromise your health or values just to be what you believe is attractive. Your body will grow old and frail, just like everyone else's and you'll find that physical beauty isn't nearly as important as you once thought. Be good to yourself and your body.
If you dont know what youre talking about, dont say anything at all.
No you CAN NOT have anorexia and be overweight lol.
The DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR ANOREXIA
include a BMI OF BELOW 17.
This means you have to be UNDER 100 POUNDS to have anorexia unless you are OVER 5'8.
are you retarded?
No you CANNOT have anorexia and over eat OR not be underweught lol.
And no,
anorexia is not just a mental thing lol
its a chemically caused disease which is genetically transferred and ONLY 1%-4-% OF THE POPULATION HAVE IT.
I just have a hard time with people talking about things which they know nothing about
and speaking as though they do.
This is ignorance breeding ignorance
You are only speaking of the physical representation of anorexia.
People with this disorder do not start skinny. They become skinny because of their unrealistic body image.
Please research and understand a topic before you decide to call someone 'retarded'.

NOT A MENTAL AND PHYSICAL SEPARATE DISEASE.
THE DSM DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR ANOREXIA INDICTATE THAT IF ANYTHING YOU HAVE "EDNOS":
NOT ANOREXIA IF YOUR BMI IS NOT BELOW 17
STOP SPREADING YOUR IGNORANCE!!!!!!
Please research and understand a topic before you decide to SPEW BULLSHIT ABOUT WHICH YOU KNOW NOTHING AT ALL
