I'm personally touched by this article because during my recent illness I lost a lot of weight. During my recuperation, everyone in my orbit has urged me to eat more. I have joked with many that if I had a dollar for all the people who have offered me a few of their excess pounds, I wouldn't need to gain weight.
I wouldn't recommend getting sick to lose weight as a diet plan, but I had no choice. It's so sad these young women, conversely, literally starving themselves to look this bad.
