I am so not fat!

And I'm not. By some standards. But by some others standards I am. By mine, I am....sorta. A country obsessed with size 3s ironically is the overweight country. Full of eating disorders(Anorexia,Bulimia, and Binge eating) and high standards on how women should look. With so much pressure on how one should look its almost no surprise that someone would have an eating disorder. But then again, with all this, shouldn't we be an underweight country?

Compulsive eating (if not it should be) is another eating disorder. Just like drugs and alcohol, eating can be addictive. And all three of these have health risks and all can ruin your life in one way or another. Now I'm not saying quit eating. Just make sure you don't lose your control over it.

"Be fat and happy, or lose weight". Mostly referrers to everyone who complained about their weight but didn't do anything about it. And now I see how easily people can take that into different meanings. A thin person could hear that and, thinking they're fat, decide to become anorexic. Or an overweight person could hear that and decide to become bulimic.
Just because eating disorders may be fast acting doesn't mean they should be done at all.

My friend was a size 9. That's not fat. But it is pretty far from a size 3. People at her school called her fat and it really hurt her. So much so that she became bulimic. A month or two later I saw her at my little brothers birthday party. I couldn't believe it! She looked like something out of Tim Burton's "Nightmare before Christmas" movie! She was Jack the pumpkin king skinny. And had dark circles around her eyes and her teeth where yellowish. And even though i couldn't see it, I was sure her organs were ready to give out.

Well I too think of my body as way less then perfect, but instead I'm going to try a different approach. I call it: "Put down the cheez itz and exercise". (Betcha can't guess my favorite junk food!)
