Thin

All I can say is wow.. I'm honestly just in shock, It's really crazy how the pressure to be thin can just take over and even destroy your life. These women were honestly obsessed with being thin to the point where they would hurt themselves and their family to obtain it. It's not the first time I see a documentary on eating disorders but it every time i see one it leaves me with a feeling that I can't explain, it's just so unfortunate and disguising that we live in a world where we judge people and their value based on their physical appearance and their weight. It really bothered me to see how these women just threw everything away to be thin, I've never suffered from an obsession so I can't judge or say that what they were doing was wrong and that they should just suck it up, We don't can't understand or judge someone's situation until we've actually lived through it. All I can say is it must have been really hard to wake up every morning and fight the same battle every day, and documentaries like this one is what teaches people to value human life and to think before they speak and judge because it only takes one word, one look, to make someone feel like they aren't worth anything.

As a girl I totally understand the pressure of being thin and looking a certain way, I am a big girl and weight loss became a challege for me when I entered high school but thankfully I have been surrounded by friends and family who love me and value me for who I am and what ever size I may be, I learned that life is what we make of it and tomorrow is never promised so you always have to enjoy today...
