I remember posting a thread about this last year and how I got so depressed watching these anorexic women walking down the runway. Some of you who posted here said that I shouldn't feel like that and the whole show was a joke. And now I'm reading about how beautiful you say they are

I think the show sucks. It's all about watching half naked women and has nothing to do about fashion. If I wanna see naked women I'll rent a porn. I wonder how many girls threw up their food last night after watching it.

I wish the Betty Page and Marilyn Monroe days were back...when a size 14 was sexy. Size 0 is just gross

These women would suck at belly dancing, I bet...

CarrieLee, you bring up a good point. I particularily don't care for the anorexic look. I was watching this with my daughter last night and remarked at how gross the women looked. Some of them were down right nasty in their thinicity (he heh.. I made up a word).

But the thicker girls, like Tyra and Naomi were the ones I thought were hot... we both commented on which were too thin. I think she has a good sense of reality about her regarding weight and what not to do... mind you, this is an almost 16 year old who has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. She's fit (six pack) and pretty, and not anorexic.

I do feel for the kids who think this look is a must... and your right about it not at all being about the fashion... it's all about tits and ass. (and ratings)

It's still fun to watch.

YES!

They should have showed this woman's story after the 'fashion' show...



All this week, ET is with the anorexic, 58-pound MELISSA DeHART as she attempts to reverse the devastating effects of her disease.

Tonight, we're with Melissa for the moment of truth, as she weighs herself for the first time at The Willough at Naples eating disorder treatment center in Florida.

Last week, the one-time TV reporter flew to New York to meet DR. IRA SACKER, a world-renowned, eating-disorders specialist who is the co-author of Dying to be Thin: Understanding and Defeating Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia -- A Practical, Life-Saving Guide and the founder of H.E.E.D. (Helping End Eating Disorders). After a tough intervention with the doctor and a therapist, Melissa agreed to get help at the Florida clinic.

One of the most dramatic moments of Melissa's journey was her first weigh-in. She herself was extremely nervous about the number, but it's the clinic's policy that patients not see what they weigh. In order to help Melissa recover, ET is not going to show her weight.

In her first week at the treatment center, Melissa has made great strides. She's bonded with the staff who are trying to help her overcome her fear of food.

"People are nice to me," says Melissa. "They're not treating me like an anorexic."

She's decorated her room with photographs and mementos from home. And her privacy has been respected -- she's even allowed to have her own stash of candy!

"I gave some away to the nurses," she says. "I'm trying to get away from the feeling of I'll never have it again."

And although Melissa is making good progress, her feelings of insecurity came rushing back on day three when she had to step back on a scale again.

"I hate this! I hate this! I hate this!" she vented. "Right now I want to jump up there and see it. I feel like I've gained 10 pounds."

Tonight, catch more of Melissa's personal diary as she documents her uphill struggle to recovery!

Carrie, I'm not sure if I responded last year. I do think the girls looked great, but that doesn't mean you don't!

This'll sound cliche, but I happen to think women look awesome in all shapes and sizes. It has to do with confidence, health and how you work it.

Don't be depressed. Just work what God gave you, sexy.
