What have we come to?

It is very sad when the time has come when people throw up to look good. What happened to exercise? Who do we blame? The media, you open the TV and all you see is people trying to lose weight. You see TV starts being so thin. Many people do not even think for themselves anymore. If they see the majority pf people going in to rehab, they will go to rehab. When we see about people who go in to rehab, for bulimia and anorexia it is mostly women, yes there are men, but the majority are women. One of the reasons is that women think that men want thin women so they will do anything to be wanted. In a way some men think that way to. When some men look at women they want them to be thin, and when they want them to be thin they think about themselves and they could develop the disease. Many do no know that it is a disease. Some think that people do it for looks but some could develop the disease for other reasons, that they could be depressed and things going wrong in there life.

I do not think that you could treat something like anorexia and bulimia in a matter of months. Many people who go into treatments, and come back out there are a large possibility that they will continue to go back to what they are doing. When they go back home the temptations they had then when they started are still there. What really sadness me is that people suffer from this for years, but not only do people not eat or they purge what they eat they add drugs and alcohol to the problem. There bodies receive even more damage.

            In my life I have not really meet someone who suffers from anorexia and bulimia, and know I think if I did how could you get someone like that help. You cannot make them eat and if they do they will throw up. It is scary when you think that someone could be sick like that. Many people look at people who suffer from anorexia like that are doing something wrong, but they way I see is that they need help; it is a cry out for help. One thing that we need to stop doing is to idolize stars that have amazing bodies, the reason they do is because they have the money to make food with low fat and have money to hire personal trainers, but the general public does not. We need to start putting all different kind of people on TV, different sizes, race, and age. We need to expand the way we think. The reason many suffer is because they way the public thinks is beauty equals thin, that is not true. Confident about who you are is beauty and that goes for men and for women.

When I hear about women no eating but they drink, I think that people are becoming more ignorant as time passes. Beer has so much fat it is unbelievable; if you are able to drink that beer you are able to eat that piece of bread. What you see is that everything is interconnected. Anorexia is connected with drugs and with alcohol.  Again we see in the movies stars getting drunk, and doing drugs, and many people think that is cool, and again they are all thin. You might say why I keep saying when we look at the stars, the reason being is we look up to them, we think they are perfect and if they are doing this then it must be good.

Women need to know that if this world was all one shape and size and everyone looked the same it would be boring. Everyone needs to be who they are if a size 2 or a size 12. Making yourself sick is not worth making thin.
