No se como ayudar sin ser su mamá, pues no me animo de decirle a mi hermana (mamá de la niña), pues no se como reaccionaría ante un caso así

Do her parents know? I really think they should know.

And the way u can help is by showing her things like surveys that show more men prefer curvy women.
Or programs like Fat Vs Thin (was shown on Channel 4) where an ex model talks about what she had to go through to get to a 0 and how much she hated it etc.

If u slowly and progressively get her to watch things like that it could really help mentally, and even stop her thinking she has to be something else. Maybe invite her to yours and make her eat dinner and keep an eye on her if u do this a lot slowly she might put on some weight but u should be careful because it might hit her the wrong way and she might just stop eating all together.

I was naturally really skinny most of my childhood and i was given these pills to take and made me put weight on it was so quick and i was really worried about it so i started getting in the habit of making myself sick and stuff. Until my boyfriend made me watch all these vids and told me he loved it when i was a size curvy 12 and now i’m back to that and i’m happier then ever.

I hope this helped and good look i guess lol.

:D

My name is Lauren,
I have a very close, and not to mention tall, friend and of whom I am very concerned about. Not long ago I found that she had been bulimic for a year, and I had never noticed. She is extremely thin at the moment and is still bulimic. She appears to want help when she is drunk but otherwise she won’t really talk about it, I’d like som advise as of how to talk to her about it. I don’t want it to get to a point where it’s too late for her to go back. I am learning about bulimia in psychology and understand it is difficult to treat.
Yours Sincerely,
Lauren.

If the clothes the models have to wear on the runway are size 6, models will start eating enough to wear a size 6. Why put the blame on the women? Again may I add. And to diagnose women with a psychiatric disorder for trying to make a living???

Designers design clothes that are designed to look good on clothes hangers, not on people. (In other words, clothes that look good hung up on a store rack.) That means they need models that look like, well, clothes hangars, and not people.
