Costacat, I have always been thin...in fact until the last 10 years, I never weighed over 110 pounds (except when I was pregnant) and was usually under 105, but I was never asked if I was anorexic or bulemic...people would just say they would LOVE to be as skinny as me and asked how I stayed so small with three kids.

Dang, Costa! You have people regularly ask you if you are anorexic? Talk about rude! I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I'm not too optimistic that we'll get 3000+ members to agree she is thin and drop the subject, but maybe people will more carefully choose their words when discussing her weight/health. This will probably be a pretty regular topic this season, especially if she has already lost over 6 pounds in a week! Yikes!

Well since this same discussion is going on in the Evil Dick and Dani thread, I guess there are more members sensitive to the idea

LOL guess I know who's hatelist I'm on now. Sorry you had bad experiences Costa. however, an ignorant comment in real life can hurt. When I gained weight suddenly due to illness I had people I work with Put their hand on my belly and ask when I'm due!!! seriously! I was so offended. but, as per the Danielle situation. I figure she is dehydrated as per her own comments. That can lessen a person's weight by up to ten lbs if they aint drinking enough water. cheers.

Dick is talking about Danielle's body right now and how worried he is. Dustin is also voicing concern.

Yup Spy, I have (even strangers in the grocery store, when I'm walking around with a full basket of food!). It may be why I'm more sensitive to it, but I do not and never have (and never will have) an eating disorder. So saying someone looks anorexic sounds like they think that person IS anorexic. Two things, too. If she thinks she's looking thin, then she's probably got a better body image than many think. And if she IS dehydrated, then yeah, she'll look thinner and will have lost a few pounds. Sorry to get up on a podium about this, and I really do hope people start to respect this issue. I'd hate to have to ask every time I see this subject brought up. Or leave here.

Coasta...I totally see your point. Now being that I need to but can't loose weight I understand your frustration. And while I feel that it is no business of the stranger who passes us to make a judgement on our eating habits...I must also ask myself... Isn't it better that people see Daniele as "too thin" rather than "wow what a dynomite body" and perpetuating the model image that leads many girls to having an eating disorder??? And Costa...Please don't leave. I appreciate your bringing the subject up...these are the discussions that keep our minds working...whithout these we have the nothingness that is on the feeds ...

Perhaps you should just steer clear of threads where it is likely to be discussed Costa, because, with the houseguests discussing it as well, the issue is not likely to go away

Kswheels, it's pretty much impossible. There are some people who are mentioning it in EVERY thread. I'm not saying the issue needs to go away. The constant talk about "looking anorexic" is my problem issue. Yes, she's thin. Yes, her dad thin, too. But isn't JOE also thin? I'm asking people to please be careful what they say. Because there are many that are bordering on saying she has an eating disorder. And that's actually petty slanderous, to say the least. Bonbon, thanks for understanding. Yes, it is better that people think she is thin rather than saying "I want that body." And yes, she does realize she is thin, too. It's not that that bothers me. It's when someone says "she looks anorexic" that makes it sound like she could be.

Yeah, I noticed that. I guess my point is...Don't let it drive you away or ruin your experience here. If you'll notice, I actually tried to discourage bringing it into the Hamsterette thread. I understand your wanting to educate people on the issue, but don't be too discouraged if your efforts fail. People are generally hard headed.

Ryan, you have always been wise beyond your years. Costa - to be 5'10" and 130 lbs when you're past your twenties, you are truly blessed by the goddesses.

OK, there are now at least five threads in which Danielle's weight is mentioned. Sorry, people, but this is really bothering me. I'm outta here. (And there are a couple of people who KNOW it bothers me and are continuing to say she's anorexic.) Enough. Enjoy. Gone!

Perhaps this needs to be combined into one thread. Mods?

Costa, I'm really sorry this is such a sensitive issue for you. As I mentioned earlier, I think it is a long shot that everyone will agree with you and either not post about it or post the way you'd like them to. I wouldn't take that personally, however. People have different opinions, I'm afraid, and this is one of those topics where not everyone will see eye-to-eye. In looking through the threads where it is being discussed, it is relevant to the topics of the thread as far as I can tell...well, except this one ...so, let's move back to Quick Q&A's.
