but I'm still fat!

[venusfurss]

ah, that time of year. prom. all the anorexic girls at school are starving up to fit into their small prom dresses. I tried jamming a stick of butter down their throats because they're gonna DIE and they ran away screaming "she's gonna make us fat! aieeeee!" what do ya DO with these strange, vagrant, nomadic, non-ovulating gals?
cunts.

Just take them out on a windy day and let the breeze blow them away...
Or show them this stuff to scare them into rethinking their eating habits.







Sad what some women will do themselves...

You know whats ironic? Studies show that men prefer women who are slightly heavier than they think they should be.

[NIGhtMAre]

Ahh man thats sick. Hope they know that no guy will really like them. So why do they do it?

[Jeanette X]

Its an irrational obsession.

[Sethomas]

Like Scrabble.

Yeah they should put a little meat on their bones to please us men, am I right fellow man :highfive

[Ninjavenom]

I don't like extremely skinny girls. Mine have to have a physique at least equal to my own nerdy one, if not a little more.

[ziggytrix]

girls are supposed to be soft.

bones aren't soft.

Their bones are soft. Soft and brittle. *CRACK!*

[Crackers are Yummy]

I'm soft, not so brittle, not fat, not extremely skinny(in shape)... and I'm single? (anyone?????)

[Ninjavenom]

I saw a video in health class where we were supposed to feel sorry for these 45 pound Anoerxics, and i refuse to do so. They did it to themselves, why should i feel sorry for them? Some of them were so far gone up they wouldn't even drink water when offered to them. That's just plain fucking disgusting that someone can be that obsessive over looks.

[Rongi]

Even in a most desprate of times, I would never ever ever ever ever ever go out with some loser named "Crackers Are Yummy".

[Crackers are Yummy]

My real name is Tiffani grr baby grr.... and another thing , where do you get off calling my name a loser!? I'm going to go throw up

[Rongi]

I rest my fucking case.

Loser.

Well, it depends. I'm not going to feel guilty because someone tells me society is to blame for Anorexics believing they're fat and have to be stickfigures to be accepted - it's a mental illness as far as I'm concerned - but I do feel somewhat sorry for them. Intentional self-destructive behavior is rotten to look at and there's so little you can do to help a person who doesn't want to be helped. It makes me angry at, and sorry for them at the same time.

I see it as just one way in which a larger personality problem, specifically obsessive-compulsive behavior, can manifest itself ... one aspect of a bigger problem. If it isn't annorexia, I'm sure they would display some other irrational behavior they couldn't control. Perhaps vanity has a little to do with the way that their obsessiveness manifested itself but that's not really getting at the root of the problem. It's certainly no reason to get angry with that person. I think it's just sad.

[Ninjavenom]

I'd probably have felt sorry for them if the video hadn't portrayed them as if they were born with one leg and one eye, and were raped constantly as children. It had kept trying to make us feel sorry for them, even though they had willfully starved themselves to near-death in an attempt to "look good". It had spent a good section of time at a home for anorexics, and what really burned me was when one of them said "i'm too fat". She got on the scale and weighed sixty-three fucking pounds. It's a psychological illness, yes, but the person brought it on themself. I can see their point of view if they had been taught to starve themselves as children or something, but they all started in the mid-teens. They knew what they were doing, and they were told what would happen if they kept doing it. I look at it like they chose to go down the darkened road full of dead tress and corpses, and they walked out maimed nearly to death. Anyone that chooses a road like that knows what they'll be like when they get out, and by not choosing the dirt road on the side of the mountain, they came out ruined, and it's their own fault.

so w/o being anorexic, what is too skinny. I'm 5'3"105 and people are always telling me I'm bony, but I eat like a horse. I have a really fast metabolism so I haven't gained weight since about the 9th grade (11 yrs). Others say, I have a fat ass. I realize it's all about preference but what is just normal/the median?

[kellychaos]

I'll forgoe the Ally McBeal comparisons in the interest of better board relations.

Punkgrrrlie10,

Your not really that far off from your ideal body weight according to this Univ of Mich website:


Linky

[NIGhtMAre]

Belmia is just as bad as anorexia

[Esuohlim]

OH DAMN, ACCORDING TO THAT IDEAL WEIGHT LIST I NEED TO GAIN 12 POUNDS.

I'd better start fattening up.

[Helm]

punkgrrrlie10,as far as I can tell, what is considered the 'norm' in apperances is often a combination of parameters, among them current cultural trends and whatnot, but most prominent of which is the relation of one's body parts to each other. Partly speculation I guess, but it's said that the human body is composed of a series of golden ratio's. The ideal size of say, the front teeth and the ones next to them is smaller by the ratio 1 : 0.68. Same goes for eyes/nose, lower/upper arm and so on. The human brain is hardwired to relate such symmetry with beauty,which in turn one of the basic criteria when choosing a mate. So I guess what would be considered a safe norm when it comes to asses is their relation to the width of ones shoulders. Simple application of said ratio would provide some rough estimation.

However, culture, as said, stands to create small superficial alterations to this instinctual code (see current fashion model of beauty, or say the type of physique favoured in aboriginal tribes), but still, it's pretty much trustworthy.

[Professor Cool]

Hey punkgrrl, havent seen you around in awhile

You guy said pretty much what needs to be said, all i can say is, i got a new car :vroom

[BlueOatmeal]

Well Im pretty skinny also. I'm 6'1 and weigh 130 pounds, Im 17 years old so I dont know if this is normal for my age or not but since all my friends are "beefer" my little frame looks a tad out of place.

and like punkgrrrlie10 I eat alot all through day but I dont gain alot.

Maybe if I didn't smoke crank I would be bigger, tanner , and have a much better complextion...........
