I Told You So!

I wrote an article just yesterday about how public anorexia and eating disorders have become. Well here is a link to prove it. Buzzfeed is featuring this video today about a girl who videotapes her starvation. Check it out here.

Thinspiration Goes Social

Anorexia is coming to the light as a major social problem again. There have always been websites that hosted pro-anorexia groups, clubs and pacts, but the new issue is that these groups are finding their way to social networking sites to build their armys. Thinspiration is a group that encourages unhealthy weight loss, and even gives tips on how to cut fat in no time. These groups are beginning to find refuge on Facebook and MySpace, and are spreading the word to more and more people daily. Originally designed to help people talk about their eating disorders and aid in treatment, they have become a place of invaluable weight loss tips for teens.

Weight loss may not always be a bad thing, as long as it is done in a healthy way. There are ways to get extremely skinny in completely healthy manners!

Thanks to Buzzfeed for the tip.

The Bat Mitzvah Money Is Being Spent On Everything But Food

Sorry ladies, but it’s not the kosher diet that is keeping all the Jewish girls stick thin. Apparently, the biggest epidemic in the Jewish community is anorexia. The original thought was that they were seeking to reach an unrealistic image as most women do, but it turns out that many are doing to get away from “looking Jewish”.  I think that the stereotypical Jewish mother is to blame for always being so hard on her daughter. Anorexia was quoted as “The Addiction Of Choice” for Jewish girls, an dI will say they are much worse addictions, but any addiction at all is not healthy.

If Jewish girls want to escape their Jewish features there are always nose jobs and chemically straightening your hair, but anorexia won’t help those. So all you harsh Jewish mothers out there, quit harassing your daughter about how they look, stop your penny pinching and buy your girls some food!

TrendSpark: The Chest Bone

Yes skinny is in, duh, but now, all we’ve been hearing about is the chest bone. Last year it was all about the clavicle, but now, judgment will be upon you if your chest bones are not countable. What I mean by this is, even if you have boobs, you should still be able to see the first five bones of your rib cage, then you are considered truly skinny, and fashionable. Here are some ladies that are apparently doing it right:

How ironic Zoe, a wish bone on your chest bone!

I hope everyone knows that I am not supporting this trend, I think this looks disgusting and unhealthy, Rachel Zoe needs to look at herself in the mirror…

Thanks HuffingtonPost

Prepare Yourselves, More Anorexics to Hit the Runways

Fashionista has just reported that London Fashion Week has changed their mind. Last week, LFW rescinded its pledge to reject Size Zero models from its catwalks after Milan, Paris, and New York refused to do the same.

It’s sad that we have not made progress since all the public deaths due to eating disorders, and that the fashion industry still does not understand the effects of overly skinny models on the runways, or as their spokesmodels. Another year, and more self induced anorexics.
