Childhood Obesity Rant

[dogzr#1]

While on the subject of eating disorders and such, I'm going to have a mini-rant.

There are a whole bunch of girls at school who think they are fat but when they are incredibly skinny to begin with. They are mostly cheerleaders or the 'popular' people. It's sad to see them sitting at a table, not eating anything, while their boyfriends are there chowing down. We (my friends and I) have told them many times that they aren't fat and don't need to lose weight, but they don't listen. Of course, I think it might just be a show type thing. They probably eat breakfast and dinner, just don't eat lunch at school and when questioned about it, say that they want to lose weight when they really don't. My friends and I eat a whole crappload during lunch, stealing each others food or trading it and stuff. Two of them are cheerleaders and they get asked why they eat so much. I know sometimes they can't help it, but most of the time they choose not to eat because of media and just peer-pressure or something. It's really sad how many problems kids are having with weight now a days.

I guess I'm lucky to have good genetics because I am 5'4 and haven't passed the 100lb mark yet. Thank you dad for being tall! Any who, as said before, I have been asked if I am bulimic because everyone sees me eat a lot during lunch then go to the bathroom afterwards. They assume I go to throw-up I guess, but most of the time I go just because I need to pee!

Sorry for making this so long, I just had to rant!
