Decades upon decades of mainstream media promoting a very particular (and overwhelmingly unattainable) body type as conventionally "beautiful" is not going to be undone overnight.

That isn't to say that other bodies can't be, or aren't beautiful. They just won't be recognized as such by the fashion industry and…

I didn't need that 40% of my liver....that my body ate to survive. Thankfully my boobs stayed intact.

Ugh.

Throwing those out was probably wise. When life gets really stressful sometimes I still backslide a little.
When my best friend passed away, my husband actually confiscated my iPad and locked it up because he noticed I was counting calories - and I'm glad he did.

Oh yeah, I looked AMAZING in dresses like that when I stopped having my period and counted the calories in a stick of gum!

Ooh! Or Clint Beastwood? I wanted to do derby but I've already had enough high impact accidents and ER visits to last a lifetime. My amazing, awesome buddy has been in derby forever and I've seen her brush off stuff that would topple far less dedicated athletes. So brava to all the derby girls and your solid brass…

I still had DD cups while anorexic. I was also pale and couldn't stand without blacking out a little. Oh and there was the fun time my heart almost gave out on me at 14 and I was hospitalized for most of my grade 12 year. But yeah, all the dudes thought I was super beautiful. Seriously, get over your boner.

Dude, you just praised a woman's looks who was in the throes of a disease that caused her to exercise 4 hours a day and eat under 800 calories. She was deeply unhappy and SICK to the point of being near death. That's attractive? Are you completely clueless?

agreed on point one. Back in Melbourne, there was this couple who you would see around my area. Very "young rich professional" types who only ever wore work-out clothes on the weekends and would go out for brunch alot. Anyway, he was your typical gym rat, buff, "hot guy" type and she CLEARLY had an eating disorder.…

Any Jezzers going into roller derby? Can you pleeeeeeeease be Mirena Bobbitt??

You're the reason why people become anorexic.

haven't you heard, IV drips are the hottest new accessory

But, but...what about his booooooner?

Yeah, I looked fuckin' great when my body was actually eating itself away. I was so beautiful when my electrolytes were so low that I could've had a heart attack.

And hey, I had BEWBS so I clearly wasn't anorexic, right?

Shut up. Seriously.

Here in Chicago, it made it pretty easy to play "identify the douchebag" on St. Patrick's day.

Please see my response to kai rhymes with k...I didn't mean what I said to be judgmental or higher than thou at all

I expected that people would be upset with my response. I understand, I'm trying to come around to the idea that it's just like any other job and stop being so prudish about it but when I read statistics that show that basically if you work in this business for any real length of time there is a 100% chance you will…
