trick-r-treat, thinking that way is normal for most people and I know too many that are also incline to think that way just to get an edge off losing the weight.

I thought of doing that before also, but I don’t think I could be that “faithful” in sticking my finger in my mouth every single time I eat….

tater03, I think if people are looking to drastically lose weight, they should be doctor supervised. Period…

Because it is so easy to get carried away once you start seeing the weight loss. Sometimes it’s also very hard to change what we perceive is beautiful eventhough it is unhealthy.

SageMother, actually it was quite enlightening one time, my husband and I caught the Naked News on TV. I said “wow, she’s got some meat on her” and my husband says “that’s what men want and we don’t want those skinny anorexic girls”

Go figure. Women die to be so skinny when they get it all wrong even after all of that.

Calypso, it definitely was such a sad situation. A lot of people fall into the trap of trying to lose more weight than what is necessary.

That is why when you personally know someone who can posibly have an eating problem, you should stage an intervention so it is caught as early as possible.

Yes, it was the same way for Karen Carpenter. That’s how it is for the person I know… heart attack first because there was no fat left around the heart. (Or some such thing, don’t quote me on that.)

It’s right about the time they decide to pull out of it that they find out it was too late.
