I don't agree with insulting her either. A very good friend of mine has anorexia and it's a very sad and hard to deal with, deadly disease. Yes there are really thin people that are born that way, naturally, I am on the thin side naturally myself, but I have a bmi much higher than 18. The reason given here why this girl is that thin is that she is 'macedonian', but that's no 'natural' reason to have a bmi of only 15, which is 3 below the natural bottemline of a healthy weight. By all standards that is very dangerous.

JustErin said:

I don't think there's a double standard at all. Both sides are routinely insulted and ridiculed for not holding up to a "normal" ideal.

And that's the problem.

I would like to be thinner,but not that damn thin.

CarrieMpls said:

lol.....all sides are insulted at some point or another.

CarrieMpls said:

Yes, that is the problem really.

However, I have seen it time and time again (and on here). Praise the fat girl for having the confidence to parade around and slam the thin girl and insult her for doing the same...this being done by the same person.

CarrieMpls said:

agree.

I have been ridiculed in that past for being too thin, I had an ex co-worker say she did not want to stand next to me in photos because I would make her look fat.
People say shit, doesn't matter, fat or skinny.

People used to give me a hard time about being thin. Girls would be really mean about it. I think it's because they were so jealous. I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything. I just think that sometimes women can be that way. I have never been a dieter. I am just naturally a petite person.

Don't feel bad, be thankful

I was always the fatty in the family but I never, ever was jealous of my slim cousins.

Genes and lazyness

NOTHING NATURAL ABOUT PROTRUDING BONES AND LOOSE SKIN. BITCH NEED ONE OF THESE AND QUICK!

AndGodCreatedMe said:

GIRL... I have hugged you, you are NOT anywhere close to being fat!




People tease ppl and ridicule them all of the time. I got teased to no end for being "flat chested" and for being pale.
You just gotta love who you are.
If this supermodel is healthy and happy then more power to her but she needs to remember that she is in the spotlight and lots of young kids will be looking up to her.
I just hope she is honest about not having an eating disorder and I hope she is really healthy. She is beautiful and I was looking at her website of portfolio shots. Her face is stunningly gorgeous, her body looks unhealthy and sickly.

DesireeNevermind said:

And I predicted this exact insult.

JustErin said:

yeah...i forgot to add this:

CarrieMpls said:

Thank you for saying that.

I am not quite as thin as this model, but due to my natural body type and some health issues I have which have made it difficult for me to gain weight, I'm definitely on the thin side. When I read threads like these and the mean remarks made about thin/ner women, I feel really shitty because I guess I would make people puke to look at me.

That being said, I dont know whether or not this model has an eating disorder or not, but if she does or doesn't, saying nasty things about her looks and weight is, to ME anyway, just as insensitive, tacky, ignorant and meanspirited as making negative, cruel remarks about larger women's bodies.

DesireeNevermind said:

Oh well. I am nearly as skinny as this model right now and I eat loads of chocolate .

hokie said:

I know what you mean. Sometimes it really is just masked jealousy. In the course of my life, I've had the very same women who ask me if I'm anorexic or sick or something then also make contradictory remarks at another point, like that they wish they were built more like me, or that I am (was) built like 'a model'. and (I'm NOT model material and never have been btw, just thin)

Serious said:

nearly as skinny is different from what she's sporting. having had an eating disorder i know a not right body type when i see one. I bet you look fine in your bikini. this chick got a problem. like i said, the loose skin and exposed skeleton give her away.

Maybe she's naturally skinny. I think I'm a little bigger than her...not sure.

shanti0608 said:

That's f-ed up...I had coworkers say how skinny I was over and over...damn annoying.

JustErin said:

exactly...she could have cancer or some other illness or she could just be naturally skinny.

This Brazilian model was 5 foot 8 and weighed 88 pounds. Comparable to this Namouska brawd. Anyway she died from her anorexia. In this photo she's not even as skin and bones as Namouska. She told people there was nothing wrong with her and that she ate a lot. yeah okay.

DesireeNevermind said:

that looks like a pretty healthy body.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

She does...I wonder how much underweight she was...

Anyone remember her?? Again, she's not even as skinny as the broad we're all posting about.




Extreme diet model dies six months after anorexic sister

A teenage model has been found dead from extreme dieting six months after her sister, also a model, died at a fashion show from complications arising from anorexia.

Eliana Ramos, 18, was found dead in her bedroom by her grandmother, with whom she was staying in Montevideo, the Uruguayan capital. She is believed to have suffered a heart attack. A full postmortem examination report has yet to be released but local reports suggested that Ms Ramos, who was taking part in Montevideo fashion week, suffered from “alimentary deficiency”. Her parents, who were on holiday at the time of her death, were said to be devastated.

Luisel Ramos, 22, collapsed and died on the catwalk during a fashion show in Montevideo last year. Eliana had just embraced her sister and wished her good luck in what was their first fashion show together.

Her father said afterwards that his daughter had been on a regime of lettuce and diet cola in an attempt to lose weight.

The photo is deceptive, she's covering the most telling parts - her spine, back, stomach, the length of the leg. But what you can see of her back is somewhat telling...

DesireeNevermind said:

One of THEE most senseless reasons 2 die that I can think of.
Humans are not very bright.

Between 2006 and 2007, models were dropping like flies from anorexia. So sad.

JustErin said:

Agreed. some people truly can't help it. I have a friend who's extrmely skinny but he literally eats all the time and works out.
