The new fad: eating disorders?
This has always been a huge issue in my life as a teenager; Bulimia and Anorexia. I do not understand why girls have such horrible body images. So many of my friends have had, or currently have, eating disorders. I would actually say that more of them decide to eat and then purge instead of not eating at all. Maybe it makes them feel semi-normal; I just don’t get it. I will admit that I haven’t always loved the body I was in, but I would never go to extreme of making myself weak by never being filled with food. Just think about the reason we do eat: to survive. Why would anyone (no matter what their body image is) go against common sense and stop eating? We eat to survive, you’re not eating so you can look “good”? That, to me, is a little contradicting.
