Just another reminder that we, as women, are just way, way too hard on ourselves when it comes to our bodies.

You are so right.; 9:25 PM
.... said...: I read a little about this ad...and while they are bringing the disease to the attention while using the model in their ad....I also think they are "using" her to promote their product which really infuriates me. I agree the model is brave...she wants to recover...but I don't think this is the way.

As the parent of two teenage girls, eating disorders are a true reality that just adds to what we constanly worry about... the fashion industry does a number on them and their peers...and brutal comments from those peers towards anyone not deemed "perfectly thin" can be what causes the pendulum to swing in the direction that causes a young girl, or guy to go from the kid with normal eating habits to one with abnormal ones.....and they don't understand is that it can kill them.....; 9:40 PM
