• It%26#039;s just another addiction used to try and relieve emotional pain. Some people use food (or the lack of it) drugs, alcohol, sex. Anything that temporarily makes you forget pain in your life. the problem is that when the food, booze, drugs and sex is over...all the problems come roaring back and usually worse than they were. It never works out--no matter what the addiction is.

• media, popular culture, society, our world is f*cked up, sometimes a pre-occupation with weight can be a way to hide real feelings, some girls have this obsession with weight because they are unable to or don%26#039;t know how to deal with negative emotions so they focus it all on what they think that they can change-their bodies. this is irrational, but so is war, starvation, corruption...our world is just plain f*cked up! 0% 0 Votes

• I have suffered from Anorexia for 12 years and have thought about it and why it is for a long time. But really there is a lot of pressure from society to be thin, and it starts when girls are young. Think about it, have you ever had or seen a fat Barbie Doll? And similar dolls girls play with are thin, beautiful and way too perfect. It starts then, that we learn or get the impression that is how we should be. Also most of the most famous and wanted females are the thin models or actresses. If you did a poll of men as to they think is the hottest girls are the majority are going to ramble off some thin sexy model or actress. There is so much pressure to be thin to be wanted and desired. You can not even walk into a supermarket without being bombared with weight loss magazines or some other magazine for women that reads %26quot;Lose 10 pounds fast%26quot; or %26quot; New Miracle Diet%26quot; Most All magazines for women well have at leadt one article on how to lose weight ot get in shape. Check it out sometime, Cosmo, Glamour, Women%26#039;s Day all of them have at least one way or some article on weight loss. And all those magazines always show you perfectly thin and in shape models doing their workout programs. Very rarely will you see an overweight women on those pages. 0% 0 Votes
