[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s my take on teen Kate, who I can understand:

I noticed a while ago and kept meaning to mention that teen Kate isn’t big. A little chubby but not by much.

Well, it turns out, and she admits to Madison as much, that she had lost weight. It didn’t come by being healthy. It came by practically starving herself.

When people reach goals and it’s not achieved by emotionally healthy means (size 7 in her case), the success can feel distorted. She saw herself that gorgeous dress, and still didn’t feel beautiful. In fact, no matter the size, she would feel bad.   I’m not saying the way she got there (baby carrots) caused the problem. But theyre both symptoms of another problem:

Body dismorphic disorder. [/quote]

Yes, it is veey common for people with eating issues to be convinced that they just need to get to X size or weight & then they will finally be happy with themselves. It is horribly upsetting to finally get to the size/weight only to find out that they are still not happy.[/quote]
