She is anorexic. She has said so.

Is or was? Is anorexia a condition you have permanently?

Yes, anorexia is considered a permanent condition. Like alcoholism, you can be in or out of recovery.

A family member died of anorexia. I do not have an issue with people expressing concern over an admitted anorexic weight loss. I suspect if people had expressed more concern for my family member, and alerted us to her substantial weight loss while away at college, we may haven been able to get her in treatment before it was too late.

I do see where some posters are coming from about how inappropriate it is to shame very thin women.

On the other hand, in the case of Lily Collins, was brave enough to share her struggle with eating disorders publically. Having done so, many of us, including those who have dealt with our own eating disorders, feel a connection with her and her struggle. This is why people are concerned.

On top of that, she famously lost 20 pounds off of her already slender frame to play a person suffering from an eating disorder. It's hard to look at the previews for Emily in Paris without noticing that she looks more like she did when she filmed the movie than she did during the first season.

You know, I could agree with this we’re it not for the commenters whose focus seems to be on dissecting the way individual body parts look in a seemingly derisive way. But the problem is that for every person who seems genuinely concerned, there is at least one who seems to relish talking about her body in a very offensive way. It’s really not that different than the concern trolling people do over women who gain weight or whose weight exceeds what a particular poster thinks it should.

Notice there is virtually no discussion in this thread about what it’s like to actually live with or treat eating disorders, or that might be helpful to anyone. So what precisely is the point?

She appears to be about the size of Audrey Hepburn.

In the 1920's, 1930's 1940's and 1950's and even the 1960's and 1970's Lily would be considered to be normal weight albeit a bit on the small size. Take a look at crowd scenes in movies from these periods. People were much smaller then.

We are so used to seeing morbidly obese people such that heavy people appear to be "normal" to us.

Audrey Hepburn starved herself. That is also a well known fact.

Stop with the morbidly obese black and white talk. Every other woman on the show is neither skeletal nor obese. Lily Collins is pretty much the skinniest celebrity we’ve seen since Amy Winehouse (and I don’t have to remind you how that turned out). This has nothing to do with the obesity epidemic warping our perceptions.

Audrey was malnourished because of the war, but she did not voluntarily starve herself.

Yes, the war that ended when she was still young. She was anorexic the rest of her life as well.

Do you think her apparent state is presented as aspirational in the Season 2?

[Anonymous]

She is very very thin and has lost notable weight since season one, as has her friend played by Ashley park. It’s similar to Brian Williams daughter between seasons 1 and 2 of girls. I wouldn’t let impressionable teens or college kids watch either.

What’s the verdict on season 2? Predictable but ok I thought. What was the deal with Camille’s bs pact?

You have to be kidding? Her neck is the most obvious part, on top of how the try to hide it based on the outfit. It makes me sad to know she must be suffering through a hard time right now. She is the size of a small child. It is disturbing, not because she is naturally thin but because she is known to suffer from an ED and numerous teen girls watch this show and will now pit themselves against that. It isn’t her fault. But “the camera adds ten pounds.” So how tiny is she really? I just know when I was 115 pounds at 16 I’d be feeling pretty shitty about myself right now watching this show…..

She married a guy who is allegedly a MASSIVE jerk. Like MASSIVE. If what I’ve read is true then I feel extremely sorry for her and imagine that he is bringing is wrecking havoc on her mental health. I would guess that has something to do with the additional weight loss.

Getting back to the show itself, I was surprised how much I liked the season, even more than the first season. I like the addition of all of the new characters, I hope we will see more of Alfie in season three. But, I really like her with Gabriel, and don’t know how that will work out with Camille. I initially thought I’d be bored with all of Mindy’s performances, but she has such a beautiful voice it’s been enjoyable.

No, that's great. She'll look young for a long time and it's nice to see a child-like young women instead of 22 year olds looking like 40-year old escorts.

In a series that is primarily about sexual exploits?
Gross.

What are you grossed about, weirdo? That a 25+ grown up woman looks delicate and feminine?
She is clearly not a child and it's not a Disney show.

I enjoyed the five episodes I’ve watched so far (they are just as stupid and ridiculous as the first season) and sure, she’s very thin, but I didn’t find it as off-putting as people in this thread. She just seemed standard young woman Hollywood very thin to me.

[Anonymous]

The comments about her dynamic wrinkles are ridiculous. People forgot that actors' faces should move. This is a vicious cycle: seems like everyone is against plastic surgery and yet if an actress doesn't have work done, she's criticized even more.

She is gorgeous.I would give my left nut to spend one sensual night with her

"Child-like."

PP, you can read. "CHILD-like."

^^and it's bolded in the post I was replying to, in case you can't find it.

So, "it's nice to see a child-like young women" in a show about a lot of casual sexual encounters.
