[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The end of an institution. Sad that SI has caved to this sort of pandering.

I'm a straight woman and find this revolting. I have an obese son, who struggles with thyroid issues as well as my family's endocrine issues. I know the pain and health issues he's suffered over the years due to his obesity. It should not be celebrated.[/quote]

I agree.

Size 16 is not a healthy weight.

[b]With the obesity epidemic in this country, we should not be normalizing a size 16 as a desireable body[/b].[/quote]

But we've been normalizing and celebrating size 00 for years. Why is it only disgusting and pandering only on one side of the BMI scale?

A lot of suffering comes from trying to fit an unrealistic (and equally unhealthy) body "ideal". [/quote]

Then use a size six to size ten model.

This lady is at an unhealthy size.  We have an obesity epidemic in this country, [b]not a too thin epidemic[/b].[/quote]

Eating disorders are in fact a problem in this country. [/quote]

yes, too much eating[/quote]

Not sure why you are such a bitch but you must be aware that there are sadly many many girls starving themselves to death or binging and purging.

And if ED counselors really cared about these girls, they would refer to a psychiatrist who specializes in OCD. But without sick patients, these ED counselors have no business, no media attention, nothing. [/quote]

NP.  Yep, I'm sure ED counselors could care less about the girls they work with, it's just a conspiracy.

:shock:

I think YOU need a psychiatrist.  Urgently. [/quote]

I think they care, but are so caught up in their politics that they refuse to see the truth re: EDs. If the choice is to medicate a patient with a drug for OCD and it stops the cycle of starvation and/or binge/purging, why would you NOT do it? The woman I spoke of (the activist) said "because if she goes off the medication, the ED will start again". Well, that's how OCD works, usually, which is why it's combined often with behavioral modification. Without the meds, the 'voice' of the ED shuts down the brain to the behavior mod therapy. Calming that voice with a drug such as Zoloft, allows the therapy to be much more effective. [/quote]

Sorry, as someone who had an ED and successfully recovered without the use of drugs, I am sick and tired of your pseudo-concerned conspiracy theory bullshit. [/quote]
