This past week has amazed, shocked and disgusted me into the facts of young girls health related issues focusing on the 'copy-cat' era of dieting! I myself as, i sopose i can now say just like every other girl has dieted, who hasnt? I was sixteen when i first started yo-yo dieting never going higher than 10 stone. Ive copied every diet regime from popping laxatives like skittles, taking all sorts of diet pills healthy and dangerous kinds, done weeks of ecsessive exercise drills from the out of norm to the unusual. I slept with my thights taped in cling-film and had slimming patches stuck on my whole body! ive drank only slim fast shakes for two weeks solid and everytime my mum made tea id put the old toothbrush to use straight to the back of my throat! There is so much more i have done to lose weight but what for? who for? Not me if i wasnt so wrapped up in my weekly mag fix id probably feel sane. Im now a student at university listening to the lateset craze of the 2,4,6,8 diet. Im sorry to say it but thats all it is a craze! Stupidity and niavety is what distroys young girls as shown recently on the news. It pains me too see girls knowing such dangers and still CONVINCING themselves it wont happen to them, why risk such silliness with you LIFE??? its not smart and mostdefiantly not SEXY!!! I am now 9st 5ft 7inc, i have been given numerous modelling oppertunities though denied as the girls who approch me are what i call 'sad cases' the bone structure has totally taken over, as there is no sign of muscle definition or fat, there faces are pale giving them an enemic appearance with black hollow eye sockets. Its so paining to see this and to know after car accidents its the second deadliest death in the world!!! i know my limits and would never go under them i love my life and everyone in it therefore i would never put them through the heartache and pain of watching me fade away. Losing weight is great if you are over weight, toning up is great to blat cellulite but fasting is suisude just to have your bones on show! I have been blessed with boobs and hips so when wieght drops off i goes off in the unobvious places which balances everything off! However everyone should know their own body types and what tricks are best for them, every girl is different and the sooner girls know that the better for themselves and people who will follow in thier shoes! How far will this crave go ? when will it stop? and who will make the first move YOU??????? I beg girls to think carefully about what skinny resally means to them and what they will do to the people around them!! ITS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE :(
