Am I the only one who thinks Kate Middleton is anorexic?

She is way to thin for a thirty something mother of two.
In university she was average size and usually people get thinner when older.

I don't know but that dress is stunning.

She's very thin, but she doesn't have the look of an anorexic. Especially not in the face.

Oh Lord, we've had this discussion already.

No, she is not anorexic. Anorexia is a rare and life-threatening mental illness. Not every thin person is anorexic.

Europeans are generally much thinner than Americans (not exactly hard!).

Some people find it hard to gain weight at certain points in their life - my mother is like this, and she eats quite normally.

She is probably very conscious of her image and has the means to perfect it - which again, in Europe, is a perfectly good one.

+1 "not every thin person is anorexic"

Some of us are just built this way - even in our 40s after two kids.

Her hands don't look emaciated either. She looks thin but not anorexic.

+1. Whenever we visit DH's family in Europe, I'm also amazed at how consistently thin all of these athletic people who eat well are. The difference between them and what you see in the U.S. is amazing.

No.

And she is aging so rapidly too, which I think has everything to do with her extremely low body fat. She looks about 40.

Anorexia is not rare.

"An estimated 0.5 to 3.7 percent of women suffer from anorexia nervosa in their lifetime." From the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders.
Please don't lump people who casually worry about their weight and diet, with people who have a true disease - it muddies the water for everyone and doesn't help patients.

3.7 percent of women- so roughly (I'm doing math in my head) like one in 20?

That's hardly rare. I'm speaking as someone who has flirted with anorexia myself and have plenty of friends who have as well.

It's WAY more common than you think.

She may not be Anorexic, but she is more than likely underweight, which is not healthy.

Doesn't look anorexic to me. She's stunning and her size is perfect IMO.

Closer to 1 in 25...but yea not that rare. As far as illnesses go, that's actually quite common
