      I was at work today and on the table sat one of those silly heat magazines, the front cover read “Liz hurley’s one meal a day diet”.
      They where actually promoting the fact that this woman starves herself to loose wait.
      In fact I think the majority of ladies/girls mags are all how to loose wait!! (along with all the other “celeb” crap) I meen people are wondering why there are so many people out there with eating disorders? when in reality all glossy magazines do is give the impression that to get somewhere in today’s society you have to be thin!! Its so wrong!!!
      I dont no if any of you have seen the recent Britany spears rumours?? she’s ment to be preganant?? (not that I care) the newspapers have labled her “tubby” she is NOT tubby in the slightest!! There must be girls out there thinking well if she’s tubby what must I look like??
      What are everybody elses views on this I was just appauled when I saw this so had to bring it up. 😮

        theres recently (1990s onwards?) been the “new lad” phenomenon where blokes have also been dragged into being as paranoid about their bodies – they’re expected to have muscle but not fat and many are also developing eating disorders, or turning to the inappropriate use of steroids.

        Ironically, its often those who think they are “keeping fit” by taking part in sports or attending gym regularly who develop these disorders, the competitiveness which goes on in those places often makes things worse.. often people go on eating binges and then large amounts of exercise to try and “develop themselves” which can cause all manner of health problems…

        I’ve recently noticed I’ve started putting on weight (gained a few kilos over the last few years) and as I am not very tall it does show very slightly ( a few friends have noticed I’ve got a bit bigger recently!)

        but its more to do with a more stable lifestyle – moved from a spell of unemployment (but very hard partying) to a steady job which takes up a lot of time in the week, and calmer weekends every so often. This is an office job though and means a lot of time I would have been riding my bike to friends houses is in fact spent in at work front of computers; so natrually I’d put on some weight, but I’m certainly not overweight (checked this on the net) and I’m perfectly happy with my body; so I’m definitely not going to push myself to the limit just to get rid of it!

          I was very careful to use the word people then, you are right it is becoming a problem for both sexes. Its just a shame that alot of people believe all this rubbish!!

                  well played loon and retardo, thats takes will and strength and shit.. i would like to but cant be arsed. good luck to both of you….especially loon for the sake of the new life 😉

                  i recently worked for a bit in a local pub that i used to work three years ago..there’s definitly less smokers in there, which although i smoke, i still blatantly prefer. i hate the smell of cigars, so i kind of imagine thats what fags smell like to non smokers.

                  on the subject of the media driven body and lifestyle fascism touted by some mags, i think its dispicable. when i was at school there were loads of girls with eating disorders, and i think about 90% of the kids were paranoid in some way, but i think its actually got a lot worse. the clothes i see kids, especially girls wearing freak me out. it snot that their dressing up and discovering their sexuality, its jsut theyre so good at it! you can see the hours of careful preperation thats gone in, and while it is a female bonding ritual, its also a massive source of bitching and lonliness for a lot of excluded girls.

                  they blatantly get the worse deal, but as general said, its no longer just females, and flicking thru fhm round a mates house just totally freaks me out, the detail of pointless shit that is sold as some magic formula for being successfull and attractive.

                  while i feel sory for these people, im kinda glad that their paranoia provides them with a uniform that tells me “this person is prolly not worth speaking to, because they clearly value soem magasine’s opinion over their own”.

                  let it all hang out, thats what i say…..let your freak flag fly!

                    yeah well done for giving up 🙂 I went out this weekend and all I wanted to do was stomp but I coulden’t because of this stupid pain in my chest which I still have now.
                    It is really worrying me actually I think im finally beginning to feel the damage im doing to my body and its not good!! At 19 years of age should I really be getting bad heart burn? As of today I am no longer a dirty smoking ashtray!! It really is horrible. :confused: Think I may even have to give the drugs a miss for a while to, anyone else find it takes em about 2 weeks to be normal again after a heavy night out??

                      depends on what you call ‘normal’ 😉 , but yes i think it takes at least a couple of weeks to get your head back together after a weekend of caning it, whatever age you are

                      moderation is the key
                      🙂
