My background primarily has been entertainment and I see people idolize what the media portrays. Sometimes emulating that is harder than it first seems. And dying is not worth it.

You are right. There are other things much more important than being supermodel slim.

Not a young girl, either... What a lot of people don't realize is that if they've done heavy damage, the organs can start closing down *after* they are in recovery like the case I know. That's quite a blow when someone thinks they've finally licked the disorder only to start watching their organs close down one by one. :-( The saddest case I know of an eating disorder is about to cost a lady her life.

I would agree that more men are now developing eating disorders but it will probably take years for society to address this as a whole.

I confess that I am very scared of gaining weight, but I do not do anything to keep myself underweight.
