What Hollywood can do to you...

Terrible.
How can people do this to themselves ???

The first picture looks very airbrushed, or like she's highly made up. I do not blame "Hollywood" for that second picture, many people in all walks of life suffer from anorexia, drug abuse, and self esteem issues. They, however, are not splashed on the computer screens of the masses every time they so much as blink.

It's really a terrible condition.
My cousin had it many years ago, and spent a great deal of time in hospital.
Fortunately she is ok now.

I am glad your cousin is okay now. A young woman I know who was anorexic and bulemic several years ago is now dealing with IBS, and I wonder if the two are linked.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Ah right. I've heard of it. But wouldn't have a clue if it's related to anorexia or bulimia.
