That’s a cruel thing to say. To you understand why so many people face anorexia and bulimia? Do you have any idea how many people you know are probably affected by it, whether you realize it or not?

I am not anorexic or bulimic, but only through concerted effort on the part of myself and my friends. I am naturally a little chubby; it’s my body type to have big hips and a small chest. Not exactly a figure that’s considered glamorous right now.

People are presented with the images of photoshopped, starved women, and sometimes similarly photoshopped men; not women who are real any more. We are taught that that is how we should define our beauty. Whether we realize that it’s a sham or not, the image is obscenely powerful. It’s everywhere in our lives.

Please, think before you write these millions of people off as idiots. You’re using level two thinking, rather destructive thinking, to reference an essay I read. (Pretty cool one, actually. Look it up.)

To those who hold this secret: It’s not healthy to starve yourself. You will make yourselves ill, and might lose head hair, gain thicker body hair, and your body might go into emergency energy storing; all calories consumed will be kept as fat. It’s much healthier to eat good food. Go for veggies, fruits, and exercise. That’s much better — and tastier! — for you. Also, spices like thyme and rosemary are actually healthy; don’t worry about skimping on them to be healthier.

Good luck dealing with this. Ignore the creep above me.

Thanks, asshole.
As distorted as my, and thousands of other people’s thinking is…
That actually sounds appealing.

Fuck you.
