Granny Craig

I had to write this post cos someone I love is rapidly disappearing into thin air because of a so-called 'healthy' diet (which ofcourse I think is a certified path to Anorexia). La Vida Loca's fantastic recent post about unhealthy diets reminded me of this girl I know. I'm not writing this to make her feel bad or to laugh at her. Trust me I love her and she's very close to me. And I don't wanna see her sick cos of some diet that don't make her beautiful anyways. That's why I want you to read her story so that if you're in the same track you'd realise that it's not really a fashion statement that you're making - rather a big blunder. (I have written a similar post long time ago - check 'butt it's beautiful'). My sincere apologies in advance if I hurt anyone through this post, but this is how I truly feel about extreme and crash-dieters.

She used to be a normal size 12 (perhaps a size 14 I'm not sure) and she used to eat without feeling guilty. She used to be happy, carefree and she looked fresh and healthy. And then came along some weirdo who told her she looked 'big' and that changed her life, for the worse I think. She immediately went and
joined Jenny Craig's weight-watchers' program (which I have heard is ok to a certain limit). And in the months that followed she not only punished herself with tasteless fish-food but also went and bought a whole gym spending alot of money. Her house is full of gym equipment now. She followed Jenny Craig religiously for 10 more months combined with rigorous exercise. As a result she really lost tons of weight. At the beginning she looked good...more firm and healthy than she was before. She came to a size 10 which was great. I think this is where she should have stopped it and taken up natural ways to maintain it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that weight-watchers programs are bad altogether. It may be good until you lose the excess weight and then you have to be sensible enough to stop it there and continue with natural ways of maintaining that weight. But she didn't ease up on the diet after that, instead she continued like a Jenny-Craig-produced-low-fat-maniac and deteriorated rapidly by the day. Her face dropped, her eyes and cheeks hollowed, her very visible rib cage could be easily studied by anyone, her excessive skin started to hang from under her arms and worst of all she feared normal food! Whenever we ate rice/pasta (carb foods) in front of her she completely freaked out. Her tasty home-cooking also stopped cos now she survived only on program-supplied pre-packed food. She's a woman in her late 20s and she was now a size 8 going on size 6! Girls now when you're a full-grown adult woman (women of 25 and up), you really don't want to look like an under-developed teenager do you? You should be healthy, full and natural. That to me is attractive than a bag of bones moving around. And when you're an adult woman surely it isn't a fashion to look like a hungry Ethiopian who hasn't eaten in yonks?? She even mocked me for being a size 10-12 (trust me I fluctuate between the 2 sizes). I didn't mind her laughing at me cos I know what Im doing whereas she doesn't seem to have a clue about the damage she's doing to herself. She is lost in some craze to look like a walking-stick that isn't sexy anyways. And I think she is partly frustrated that she is obsessed by this diet and that she couldn't be normal anymore. That's why she was mocking those who ate normal food and didn't mind having sugar in their coffee. She takes Equal (saccharine-coated sweetener) with her tea/coffee. I read that artificial sweeteners such as Equal causes Cancer in long term use. I received a recent pic of her yesterday (no that's not her in this pic - she hasn't come to that stage yet but is surely on her way to it!) and she looked like a size 5 or even a 4! Is there even a size like that except for infants?? I don't know but she looked really sick. Both her cheeks seemed hollow and she looked extremely tired. Seriously clothes look better on a 'woman' than on a 'hanger' don't they! She didn't look like a fresh young woman anymore - instead she looked like a granny who's madly running after Jenny.

I can't advise her anymore cos last time I advised her she said I was jealous of her...helllo jealous? Hell na I'm not jealous. How could I be jealous of a woman who has no flesh in her body? I'd have to be a bone-specialist to admire her. Guys you tell me...do you prefer flesh-less and skin-only women or fleshy, healthy and bubbly women like Uttsy and Beyonce? :) Anyways I told her to beware of Anorexia and she didn't even know about such a thing - how ignorant can people be. Still she's not stopping on the diet. All of this to look like some 100yr old skeletal remains? WHY?

I really can't understand why some women fail to realise that their bodies are unique and beautiful as they are. I think most women punish their bodies cos the body is easier to change than the attitude towards yourself. If you have an over-weight problem then go and get some healthy advice from your doc and follow simple and genuinely healthy rules. Perhaps cut-down on certain sugary and oily food, let go of some unhealthy habits and exercise regularly - but never overdo anything. Everything in life should be done in 'moderation'. If you are so obsessed with looking thin to the extent that you miss out on having fun and having a life, then certainly you're on the wrong track. We were not born into this world to starve - we were born to live, eat and enjoy life. If you stand in front of the mirror and you have to try real hard to find your image, then you are in for some serious trouble. Life is too short to breathe weight-watchers and live on crackers. What matters most is if you are happy, sensible and healthy. I'm sure those who diet like this aren't really happy but they are forcing themselves to do it just to be thin and look like a model/actress who needs a good serving of steak on any day. A woman is beautiful when she's beautiful both in and out. To me outward beauty means being curvy, healthy, fresh and natural. And also if she's just beautiful on the outside and cant carry a decent and intelligent conversation (due to cranium depravation cos of hunger) and without fainting out of starvation, then what's the point in looking thin, thinner and thinnest? Where are all the full-figured beauties these days (like Sophia and Marilyn)? By crash-dieting you are putting yourself at serious risk and depriving your body of the nutrients it needs to function properly. I have heard of people dying from crash-dieting/binge-eating and some people end up as miserable anorexics/bulimics in mental hospitals. Don't ever let a diet ruin your life - you get only one life, so protect it. I hope my friend realises this before it's too late. Exercise your soul, do everything in moderation, be well and stay happy people.

Even the fashion show industry is cracking down in Spain, the models have to bulk up a bit or no show for them!!

Nice reading your post,it's a Beautiful message to advocate....

Prasanna Parameswaran said...

Heya good post! I too agree with you on how our diets have to be! being lean is good extremes on bothe the sides is no good at all!

Aditi said...

Its very easy to let men rule the perception of ourselves...culture doenst help either.
I know so many anorexics around me in India, its unbelievable. I know people that routinely get admitted to the hospital for "weakness" because they have absolutely stopped eating. Cuz of course no one here follows a healthy diet and exercise.. they just dont eat.

Margie said...

Keshi
Those pics. you posted are scary!
It is sad when someone is trying so desperately to lose weight they
do not even care about what long-term damage they might do to themselves in the end.

I have a friend that is always on a diet... she never seems to be happy!
I told her if she ate more... she would not be so grumpy!
But, she wants to be skinny in such a bad way... she will not listen to me.

I have never been on a diet!
I would hate to always be thinking about what I could and could not eat!
I like to eat, but I eat in moderation!

I do like to be healthy though...
and do work out!
It makes me feel good to take care of my body!
I think I am the right weight for my height!

Luckily I have never had a weight
problem... I think it is just good genes as noone in my family has ever been overweight!

A very good message Keshi!
Thanks for it!
You always have the best posts!

Parag said...

Can you send me your friends diet plan pls.. The two hours of gymming does not seem to be helping me..
I personally feel that a person should be healthy.. not thin
I like my women with the right amount of development in regions of interest :-)

Sig said...

Lol - I know the feeling of not fitting in - that butt in your previous post - that's mine :P I am an hourglass shape (I got told I have the shape of a coke bottle!! What the-???? lol). I've never dieted - because I love food too much lol, but my aim is more exercise to TONE not lose weight (if some happens to fall off - yay!). The butt that I hate, everyone envies- Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - as long as we are healthy - why does it matter how we look???

The first couple of pics scarred me...
As far as my opinion on this is concerned i already had a post on it a few days back...:) I love the bootylicious ones...:P

Thats the essence of this post....
very very well said indeed!

Cant get why these ppl get so obsessed with getting thin! Pleasently plumpy! is in! haha!

Steph said...

What an excellent post Keshi.
Those pics are very disturbing and the whole fashion industry as well as the weight loss industry have lots to answer for.

coolvir said...

Awesom post...Could totally relate to it.....wait a miniute...Naahhhhh.


Me a pig when it comes to eating but must admit i am one of those lucky ones whose body remains same no matter howmuch i stuff in.

Kalpana said...

Yes, moderation is the correct word than any in everything you do. A limit should be set in everything n things will get right.

Jewel Rays said...

Interesting Post!! :D

And the second pic sure look scary KEshi..Gosh !! I really wonder why people think Skinny is PRetty. That picture looks so awful and its like she is sick and right i do agree on that ethopian expression you mentioned somewhere in ya post.

And also i prefer MEAT than Bones. I don't fancy being skinny. i like meat on me. and of course men too. i feel its looks more fuller...i dun know thats wat i think. and healthier for sure..hahaha. lest of excess meat though...

Beautiful post! i heard of how they have websites that encourages girls to starve . They actually created anoxeric webbies to encourage girls to be skin and bones. And it seems that its a sort of propaganda..Not sure abt that though. i like this post its real and affirming tht meat is beautiful and can be beautiful and will be beautiful especially when well balanced.

Cheers! was looking forward to a new post in ya blog. And You did a great one up!

CHEERS! :D

Sorry guys if the post is too long. But it's a real story hence I had to put in all the details.

oh my my.. y dont people put some brains in this gal.. its really sad to read this...

id rather like a person for who she is than what she looks like... alrite we have to take care of our body.. we have to try to keep in shape.. but not in this manner!... i really dont think one guy who reads this will say he likes such women...

n this is not the kind of diet id recommend to nyone.. its crazy!

nice post k00kie... miss ya

Phoenix said...

so true...i have seen so many anorexic girls fainting n on serious medication it's downright scary!
wisdom is the vword!

btw, i blog @http://apublicdiary.blogspot.com

Die Muräne said...

I fully agree Keshi. Sometimes I really wonder how women think, men would like them to be that thin...
Nothing femal on that.
But maybe it's easy to say, not knowing why someone is getting kind of addict. Only fashion and TV is not an answer. There must be more behind that.

"Everything in life should be done in 'moderation'" - how true

Pallavi said...

Gosh, yeah idea is to stay healthy and not die or ur way to slim figure..

SaffronSaris said...

Poppy doll-pearl, it's scary when healthy young girls start to starve themselves to follow the stick-thin models they see in fashion magazines. Of course there will be some who are naturally small-boned, but the 1st 2 photos are really terrible!

Visithra said...

Ah you know id agree with ya ;)

being happy with how u are basically shows how confident you are of yourself

some people are thin by fate some plump - but as long as on both sides of the spectrum - if you're healthy then to hell with whatever ppl tell you

you are as beautiful as you think you are

dieting and not eating coz you think it will do you good - just look at the 2nd photo - its freakingly scary - u dont want to be that

hopefully ur cousin wakes up before its too late

uttara said...

OMGGGGGGGGGGGG

u comparing me n BEYONCE???

lolzzz

there is too much of me .. thats it.. am not fat..hahahhaha

na i should do some crash dieting .. lol
on a second thoufght no i cant do so .. its stupidity to do it.. :)

BTW i'm saying NO cos somone( ahem ahem) will come to mumbai rushing from Delhi to crusify me if i do so..lolzz

tell her to get her basics right first n then do wat she is doing.. :)

Raj said...

Hi Keshi, It's a really good post and I hope all those girls who starve to death in pursuit of so called better figure realise the gravity of the situation. There is nothing beautiful than being in pink of health.

Neer said...

i absolutely second, what you say here, Keshi!! not that am size 10 and trying to reduce, am naturally 8 and i wouldnt mind gaining a lil extras... and then again, no... am happy the way i am! very good post, indeed!

Sree said...

good post for a friend.. I just hope she understands your point and that you are not being J or whatever.. and single statement made in the post is sooooo true.

Akshay V said...

Yea.. I hope she listens to you and not become like one of those skinny girls in the pictures.

Tarun said...

Yes sad story this one.
I read on the net the the spainish government has made it mandatory weight of 122 pounds (minimum) for ramp modelling.
I hope it is not an occupational hazard.

Jim said...

i no wat u mean
i have one such case in my family

it is truly sad


in my days we guys went VA VA VOOM for busty chicks and wide hips

42 34 44
like Sophia Loren and Liz Taylor and Gina Lollobrigida

Jim said...

i now dont get attracted by boobs and ass

i seen plenty
i go for girls like Margie and Kath and ...
who are sweet and loving and funn to chat with

i wanted to add Cazzie too
but she is sore with me for stealing her avatars and posting on my posts

deepsat said...

ur post should be an eye opener for all those who want to head that dangerous way!!

i hav never understood how thin/lanky is good!! it looks sick and they are killing themselves for no reason!!

good post keshi!!

;-))

Rebelzz said...

Well u are totally right.. These fashion industries project size 2 as the only look.. And that has gotten into people and women believe that size 2 is only sexy.. The recently crowned Ms. Universe apparently fainted on stage as soon as she was crowned.. Rumours say that she could not bear the weight of her dress because she had not eaten for 3 days to fit into it! Do they have a li'l bit of sense???

Himavan said...

Awww...interesting post!

been away on "trips"...missed your space for some time...Its always a good feeling to be back here...:)

Being skinny isnt good and I completely agree with you on your saying and advice to your friend. Eating healthy and working out for fitness is always good. Well looking slim is always a factor of attraction...:P

Ashley said...

I am glad you took on this topic. I posted about a year ago on how fashions are being tailored to the waif thin and flat-chested or the waif thin and artificially enhanced. It's rare that I could find a dressy summer blouse or halter top that was functional for a normal woman, who is a natural C cup or higher.

It's about time fashion was made for real women!! They should put you and me in the fashion shows!

dumbdodi said...

Hmmmm..Kesh I am not tall, a modest 5'2.5 inches, I make sure I had that .5 :-)Anyways I fluctuate between 8-10 more towards 8.
Reason I mention all this is, somedays I find myself worrying about what I eat 'coz I know with my tiny frame if I put on weight I will look short and stout. But thats where it ends. I can enjoy a meal, indulge in icecream,a packet of crisps and everything.
But I know that there is a thin line between worrying and obsessing and I bor anyone really could easily be on your friend's side.
But like you said everything needs to be in moderation, anything in excess does only harm.
I hope your friend understands your concern and appreciates it

Where are all the full-figured beauties these days (like Sophia and Marilyn)?

naan irukum pothe, Marilyn ethuke? lolz..

i dont think our boys like to see skeleton gals, seriously. your fren is another case of mis-understanding of the concept of nutrition.

Thanks for putting the last 2 pictures, first two were scary. I almost felt like I had seen a ghost finally...

Anyways, agree with you fully. Anorexia is a major cause of concern now. You should enjoy the food (of course, no pigging). I wouldn't like my girlfriend/wife to look like I just pulled her out of a 500 year old grave.

Suji said...

Great post Keshi! I don't understand how girls can be so stupid. I feel that girls should have curves at the right places. ;)

Has to be me said...

Mezzzzz back! :) Missed u too!

Oopsy tell me abt ppl like that! Cant stand these sort! I know a girl here who does all sorts of diet...tho shes not at all big! Guess she does it in the fear of becoming big! LOL! Anycaase now shes got hazar health problems. It so much wiser to exercise & loose those extra kilos rather than crash diet! Food is just too yummy & insisted of rejoicing it resisting it is sick! Life is short so enjoy as much while it lasts.

Anonymous said...

Good post. Some overdo it. I hope it works out for her. As someone on a diet ( i don't need to be on one) I can see where you are coming from. All I am trying to do is push down my body fat to as low as I can and combined with the home gym get to being in decent shape. I think it finally shows now at least acc to *A*. lol.

Madhu said...

i agree keshi, girls sometimes take it to extreme levels thinking its going to make them look good. I for one have always been a thin but healthy kid and i tried so many different things to gain weight....even tried eating brinjal for a whole month, nothing else and brinjal was something i used to hated!

Anyways now that i have put on weight naturally am very happy. Now i feel whole, and best part i dont have to answer questions like - r u sick? u r so thin anything wrong? etc etc. phew! quite a relief!

Now the only thing is i need to exercise and stay fit not reduce! :) Hope ur friend realises she's not gaining anything by loosing too much wait. getting back to a healthy state is kindof difficult after loosing so much.

Autumn Storm said...

Hard-hitting post, Kesh, nicely done. It actually hurt to look at that 2nd picture especially, though the 1st isn't much better, it was slightly more covered up.

This is such a scary and sad issue, and things seem to be going from bad to worse - esp. recently it seems to be escalating.

Moreover along with women getting smaller and smaller, men are getting larger and larger - two sides of the self same coin. As said, very scary.

I feel deeply for your friend, I have such friends too and know it hurts to see them consciously choosing to cause themselves harm in this way. Hope she realizes that there is such a thing as too thin well before she makes herself ill.

Worst thing about it is (for us, those witnessing, I mean!), is that there is little or nothing we can say or do.

Kavi said...

The vain pursuits of good looks at the expense of good health is proving to be a downfall to many the world over.

And am not sure if it is a 'man-perception' thing. Life is beautiful and it needs to be lived. To the fullest!

eeeeooowww... the pics are scary :/ yeah they r stooopidd!!

ghee said...

hmmm..this is something women must realize..that a healthy body is more important that being a malnourished,skinny one..

I agree with you,Keshi.."clothes look better on a 'woman' than on a 'hanger'.."

Overdoing something is really a sickness..

goshhh,i dont wanna be like this one..

Happy Friday,Keshi!!Thanx for this nice post!

Hugggssssss to u!!

starry said...

This is a very enlightening post. It is sad that people in the fashion industry promote this thinness. even girls as young as 8 or 9 are worried about getting fat. I think its good to promote good health and I teach my children that, but inever tell them you have to be thin to look beautiful.I think anorexia is an emotional disease and people like your friend needs some emotional help first , so that she can love who she is.

Please disregard this comment if you have already received one from us.

First, our team always reads your blog--it is one of the most informative blogs on the web.

Ken, one of our team writers, said this post is one of the best reads on this subject. Ken wrote an article entitled: 'Fashion, The Number One Killer Of Women'

The tide is turning in the fashion industry toward plus sizes. I think one of our blogs has photos of models wearing plus sizes.

Very nice blog

La vida Loca said...

Hey good post.This really breaks my heart.I hate when the diet demons ask if you are jealous of their weight loss.I had 2 room mates-1.was a healthy gal..went to a demonic diet and another pretty much refuses to eat.All the body abuse was too much to take.Unfortunately I got sucked into the body abuse vortex but wound up gaining weight :(
No more diets for me and I refuse to listen to "I hate my body" rants.
You brought up some good points.Hugs :)

tsduff said...

There is nothing wrong with dieting, and trying to be slim. It is just sad when things get out of perspective - and balance is lost. My own daughter was diagnosed as being pre-anorexic when she was only 9 years old. She is fine today (she is now 30) thank goodness because of treatment she received at that tender age.

Very good post Keshi.

Scoot said...

It's sad how most of us girls land up in the same boat having to deal with weight issues.
I remember being carefree and not conscious about my body until my close friends started commenting on my weight.Yes,I am on the excessive side but they haven't helped me in any way.They are interested in joining me in the gym or eating with me.So the only thing the comments keep doing to people like me is make us depressed.
You have broached upon a topic that is so sensitive among us girls yet at the same time something has to be done to make women understand that they need to eat a balanced diet to be fit and healthy.

It has been one of those days!
I called 3 long distance friends...
and they are all having problems in their lives today!

I felt sad... so, I had a piece of cake!
Now, I need to go on the treadmill to work off that cake!
It was yummy though!

I thought you might like this little poem.
I am sure there are many people that can relate to it!

One thing at least can

I simply love

Those photos are so hard to look at, in part because those models see nothing wrong.

Great post again Keshi! You got a awesome style of writing. you make any topic interesting.
//Guys you tell me...do you prefer flesh-less and skin-only women or fleshy, healthy and bubbly women like Uttsy and Beyonce? :)//
I would prefer someone like J Lo. She is terribly hot. Some of the very thin gals really turns me off. They never seem to attract me. Curves is what we need after all not a flat surface ;)
You know what I just had a discussion about this an hour ago at a coffee shop. We were discussing if the gal who passed by us was thin or the right weight. The consensus was reached that she was slightly under weight than required ;)

Mumbai Guy said...

I like chubby girls. Skinny ones are okay but real skinny ones would be put to choclate diet for a month before I get to start liking them;)

Seriously, What the hell is wrong with going on bonny diet?

And Keshi, You just amaze me with your blog posts. And I really envy your time. Is there any way, I can trade-in wid mine?

>>Everything in life should be done in 'moderation' <<
Amen. It is hard to know the limits sometimes.. but in certain cases.. like here...if your body feels bad, it probably aint good to do something.

Your friend will probably hate you.. but somebody has to tell her... even if harshly.. sometimes i think the facts need to acknowledged by someone "as is", instead of sugar coating.. It need not come to that.. but sometimes it has to...infact the person might be expecting someone to do that.. [we are crazy sometimes:), aren't we?]

Some like some things in certain ways and most of the times something else will compensate for what is lacking...Sooner or later everyone realizes: "its not all that important"... Its true isn't it?
SO, I wonder if the guy who told her that she is "BIG" is taking notice now.. if so he should have realized the plight she is in now... I wonder if he told her "that is enough"... I wonder if she is now unstoppable.. BIG..well.. HUGE.. may be bad... but obsessing over "thin" and "thinner" and "thinner still" cant be good either...

It is just that one word again: "moderation!!"

That's very true... ** clothes look better on a 'woman' than on a 'hanger'. ** ^_^

who still yearn for breast feeding


remember GOD made u
u cant improve on GOD's work

if u try
u might end up looking like poor MICHAEL JACKSON

Hi Keshi...

I could not stand to look at those pix, they sure made a very powerful post hit home, hard.

Your rationale is all very sound.

Luckily, I've never had a weight problem, just my body type. Others do, it's genetics and lifestyle.

I'm sure it's easy for someone WITHOUT a weight problem to not be able to understand why other people DO.

But women who start believing they have a weight problem when they don't...and then kill themselves over it...it's out of this world.

Nothing helps like a sensible diet and exercise pattern....

I've had weight problems, and have crash dieted a lot of times.....i can completely relate to this post!

Sorry Saby, I just noticed the cake is all gone!
So, next time I bake a cake I will do my best to get a piece to you!
And, now it's time for me to say
good-night!
C'ya later Saby!
Bye for now Keshi!

Keshi said...

Kiddo yep I read that. all those who had a BMI(Body Mass Index) less than 18 were banned.


-------------------------

tnxx Lera!


-------------------------

Indianangel spot on!


-------------------------

Aditi next time u see such a girl go n ask them when did they last eat.


--------------------------

Margie ur right...body weight should balance with a person's height. Alot of ppl forget that and go to extremes - I think it's plain stupidity.

lol that verse on food was cute, ty! I so eat alot when Im stressed :( Not like a pig but more than usual.

Choc cake OMG I luv em! email me apiece will ya Marg? ;-)

btw it's Saby who needs to give us cake and he's running away.

Anyways u sleep tight sweety. Nighty night!

Keshi said...

Parag u workout 2hrs per day or per week? hehehehe.

**I like my women with the right amount of development in regions of interest

okkkk I so know wut u mean :):)


-------------------------

Mehak yes moderation is imp. The first 2 pics r from an Anorexia website and they r real pics of real patients. And to imagine that first girl thinks she's beautiful and walking on the ramp?? Who put her there!!!!!!!!

My friend wont get it. She now shops in Childrens' shops!


-------------------------

Silvara u must look really beautiful. A real woman. Dun let anyone tell u otherwise. ppl who have no figure r jealous of girls like u so they tell u ur big etc. An hourglass figure is SEXXXXXY!
;-)


-------------------------


Southy I know u like the bootylicious ones :)

yes those 2 anorexics r scary and the fact that the first girl dun seem to realise that is even more scary!


-------------------------

Kautilya ur right...pleasantly plumpy is so in now!!


-------------------------

Steph ur spot on! It's the fashion industry and weight-loss industry that have to answer to this. Some women even dunno that Jenny Craig and the likes use extremely yukky artifical crap in their pre-packed food to make it taste like normal meals! I read that from a girl who tried their program. She said that all of JC's foods consisted crap like that that r harmful to oen's body. How else wud they get the cheese to taste like real cheese and the sweet to taste like real sugar!! Use ur heads girls.

tnxx Steph for bringing that great point in!


Keshi.

Keshi said...

Coolvir ur extremely lucky! :) Good on ya!


---------------------------


Kalpana tnxxxx!


---------------------------

Amy thats right...maintain ur body weight so that u dun go over or under. Its not that hard if ppl stick to healthy food and exercise regularly. Alot of ppl think they cant do it so they crash diet and then they get sick. And when they stop the diet they put back all the weight on!

** heard of how they have websites that encourages girls to starve .

yes I have seen such a documentary on TV. How these sites teach young girls to starve and bring their bones to display. It's plain wrong!


----------------------------

Uttsy u try telling my friend - right now she's deaf and she thinks Im ridiculously fat (yes she thinks that lol!) and that she's fat too - omg shes so not fat - she's a size 5 I think! Now how d u put some sense into someone like that?

btw she was just liek u and me b4 all this stupid diet. She was a sensible happy girl. And to imagine that something like this could happen to someone like her is shocking. Cos it means it can happen to any of us. Our mental state can be changed by almost anything. Obsession can happen and then there's no turning back. Thats why I wanted to write this so that it wont be too late for someone else too.

U dun have to diet at all. Just exercise and control on oily food etc. Go for daily walks - it really helps. I have put on a bit during Winter cos I didnt do much walking either. Now Summer's ard Im gonna go walking again from tonite. :) But I never diet (I dun pig out either). I love my food.


--------------------------

S0ulAsylum heyyy!

**also fit his/her wafer thin self sideways thru the pages of a book

LOL that had me laughing like crazy!

ur right girl..exercise is the key. I always beleived in that and it has always worked for me.

No she wont listen to me either. She thinks Im grossly fat and that she still has to lose alot of kilos...from where? LOL!


Keshi.

Keshi said...

m000nie yeah I too wish I could put some sense into her. I feel sorry for her cos she cant see beyond a vaporising body. D u know she wants to be thinner? Right now she's abt size 5!

-------------------------

Phoenix ur right. But I guess wisdom is hard to come by if brain doesnt get enough nutrients :) So yeah obviously these girls miss out on that!


--------------------------

Murane yep how can any man admire a woman who has no breasts/butt at all??

**But maybe it's easy to say, not knowing why someone is getting kind of addict.

true. I know that. I mean some ppl r genetically prone to Anorexia and we cant really blame them. But most women trigger the illness cos of their madness to look like someone else. And thats stupid.


-------------------------

Pallavi yeah I know one girl here in Aus who was so pretty...and then she was obsessed with soem diet and u should have seen how she changed over few months. From beauty to beast. It was SCARY. Her story came in the papers too. Eventually she died and she was only 21!


--------------------------


Saffy hey yes there r naturally small-boned girls...but they r ok cos that's their natural Body Mass Index.


---------------------------

Visithra tnxx!

And yeah there's nothing wrong in dieting sensibly. For health's sake. Cos there r ppl who seriously need to lose weight. But those who overdo it r crazy. I see alot of anorexic girls here walkign ard thinking they look GREAT! Today I saw abt 5 such girls and I was like 'girl I do feel for ya' in my head!


--------------------------

Raj ty :)


--------------------------


Neers heyyy!

** am naturally 8 and i wouldnt mind gaining a lil extras

Well thats perfect...thats ur natural size. Wonderful to b happy with ur natural self!




Keshi.

Dewaker Basnet said...

those pics are surely gonna make someone have second thoughts about excessive dieting...but some people are so so obsessed...god bless em!

Keshi said...

Sush yeah I hope she comes to her senses. If not through me, I hope her husband or other friends make her realise this!


--------------------------

Akshay she's already looking quite similar it's frightening!


---------------------------


Tarun I read that too.

** mandatory weight of 122 pounds

that means ard 60kilos...well my friend is abt 5'7 in height and below 50kilos in weight I think!


--------------------------

Saby my mum always says that the old actresses r the most beautiful girls she has seen. My mum laughs at the skinny sticks that appear in movies these days LOL!

**like Sophia Loren and Liz Taylor and Gina Lollobrigida

true! They r REAL women.

U have one anorexic in ur family? OMG Saby, so wut have u done to help her?


--------------------------

Deepsat yep ur right. Killing themselves for no bloody reason!


---------------------------

R.E.B.E.L WC n tnxxx!

**These fashion industries project size 2 as the only look

LOL! Isnt size 2 one of infants' sizes?

Yes I know she fainted...apparently from starvation/tight dress. I could see many of the contestants' rib cages. I really could!


--------------------------

Contented heyyy hows u Busy Body? :) WB!

**Well looking slim is always a factor of attraction

true and that factor can be a killer for some women.


------------------------

Ashley u go girl! :) U r so right.

**It's rare that I could find a dressy summer blouse or halter top that was functional for a normal woman, who is a natural C cup or higher.

so true. D u know that Aus has some shops where clothes look like they r for adolescent girls but they r really for women like us! I cant believe that. When I walk into such shops the biggest size they may have is size 8. Just what is that?


Keshi.

Sunita said...

ewwwwwww ewwwwwww ewwwwwww....
I am sorry keshi, but the first couple of photos are pathetic...is this their definition of being fit and in shape????

Keshi said...

Dumbdodi thats perfectly you...thats ur natural weight and u r maintaning it well. So thats all that matters.

**know with my tiny frame if I put on weight I will look short and stout

yeah its good ur thinking that way. Cos that means u r looking after urself and at the same time look great!

My friend wont get it. I have told her everything possible. I try not to laugh at her cos that wud be mean. But she thinks Im the one who needs help LOL! She goes to parties and u should see her plate she she serves...it looks like leftovers already.


------------------------

Ammuuuu mwahhhhh I missed u! Wut have ya been upto?

ofcourse when sexy Amu is ard why do we need Marilyn-look-alikes! :)

**. your fren is another case of mis-understanding of the concept of nutrition.

so true. And since u know abt nutrition alot, can u tell us how wud this affect the brain's functioning? I mean crash-dieting and it's effects on the brain.


---------------------------

Fleiger rem u wanted to see a ghost? I made ur wish come true lol!

yep no pigging out too...I pig out sometimes tho lolz! But na I always try not to make it a habit ;-)

Certainly skeletal remains r for after death...not for b4!

-------------------------

Suji ur spot on! Girls shold HAVE curves.

-------------------------

HasToBeMe WB n hugggggggggggz! Great to have u bakk girl.

yeah food is too yummy to miss out on. I hope u can help that girl b4 she walks ard like a skeleton.


---------------------------

Sanjay ur doing well. I mean maintaining a healthy balance of food n exercise. The way to go mate.

**I think it finally shows now at least acc to *A*. lol.

LOL good stuff, results of hard work paying off ha ;-)


---------------------------

Madhu thats great. Im happy for ya :)

Brinjal/Eggplant makes one fat?

**best part i dont have to answer questions like - r u sick? u r so thin anything wrong etc.

OMG every person who sees my friend asks her if she's ill! So u can imagine what Im talking abt.


**getting back to a healthy state is kindof difficult after loosing so much.

thats soooo true! My mum always says that. Cos when teh body starts deteriorating w.o. enough nutrition, the damaged cells r hard to recover. I hope these girls get some brains!

--------------------------


Autumn ur spot on babez. Cos I feel bad not being able to do anything...just watching her disappearing is shocking and it hurts. When I saw her pic the other day I really cried.

---------------------------

Kavi to some girls it is a 'man-perception' thing. they wanna be attractive to attact men. But do they really achieve that?


----------------------------

TheEgoHasLanded yeah stupidity indeed :)

----------------------------

Ghee u r sexy as u r! Im so glad ur a sensible girl and that ur manitaining urself so well. HUGGGGGGGGGZ!


Keshi.

Keshi said...

Starry u raised a very good point.

**I think anorexia is an emotional disease and people like your friend needs some emotional help first , so that she can love who she is.

It is an emotiona need thats being suppressed that leads to this. I always thought that. Cos if someone wants so much attention that they'd rick their lives to getting it, that means that person is emotionally unfed. My friend does have some personal issues I know. And Im sure this is her way of addressing it. I do feel for her. I really do. And I did speak to her abt it so many times. But instead of solving the first issue, she's now stuck on a deadly diet. I wonder where it'll all end!


--------------------------

Nelly arent they scary! But these girls still think that they are not thin enough - thats the scariest part!


---------------------------

Wryter hey thanks!

**Ken wrote an article entitled: 'Fashion, The Number One Killer Of Women'

I'd like to read that. Plzz pass me the addy. Thanks in advance!


---------------------------

LaVidaLoca thanks to u that I got this written!

Ur friends r crazy. Dun ever listen to ppl. U think for urself and trust ur instincts to do the right thing.


-------------------------

Terry yes one can diet to be healthy n fit but not to dangerous levels that they actually start risking their lives.

Im so glad ur daughter is healthy n well now. Huggggggggz Terry!

---------------------------


Maya hey hugggggggggz!

**So the only thing the comments keep doing to people like me is make us depressed.

well dun let such comments upset u. r u happy with urself? Thats what matters.

TC sweety n tnxxx!


---------------------------

WhiteForest yeah its crazy of these girls to destroy their lives like this!


----------------------------


Hip_Granma WC n tnxxx!

no thats not her pic. I dun wanna put her pic up here w.o. her permission. But those 2 pics r from an Anorexic website and of real patients. These girls still dun think they r thin enough!


**what are her parents doing?Is there anyone she knows goading her into it?she needs counselling before anything else.

true she needs counselling cos my words r not helping her. But she refuses to believe she's obsessed. btw Jenny refused her anymore of their food. What does that mean? She's on anorexic levels now.


-------------------------

Tanvi hey HUGGGGGGGGGZ! :) yes it's been a long time and it feels so good to be talkign again with ya. I guess I missed u all somewhere in between but there's a time to part and a time to meet again...so yeah WB to my life :)

hehe Im glad u liked this post and the video. :)

Drop by whenever u have time Tanvi. TC n MWAHHHHH!


------------------------

Tre heyyy!

**Those photos are so hard to look at, in part because those models see nothing wrong.

yes! Thats what scares me too. And she's modelling like she looks good??

love handles as in? :)


--------------------------

KK u discussed a girl who just passed u by? :) Great! I wonder if ppl discuss me this way LOL!

**I would prefer someone like J Lo.

I think she's HOT too. Alot of women hate her saying her butt is too big but I think quite the opp. She is SEXY and is a real woman. Those who say she's not r just jealous.

btw u've got good taste ;-)


----------------------------

MumbaiGuy na we cant trade-in times cos that means u'd have a PMS session too...lol d u want that?

**but real skinny ones would be put to choclate diet for a month before I get to start liking them

LOL hahaha!


---------------------------

Prithz heyyy mwahhhhhhh!

U Im sure r natural and healthy for ur height. U dun have any obsession with diets/exercise d u? So dun worry..u r great as u r as ur friends suggested.

Yep u have to give some time to ur friens to get to know em better. tnxx girl :)


-------------------------


Heather WC n tnxxx :)


-------------------------


Iris moderation it is!

**sometimes i think the facts need to acknowledged by someone "as is", instead of sugar coating

true. In my friend's case it wud have to be 'Saccharine' coated :):)

Yeah i wonder what that person wud say if he sees her now - omg she looks so ill!


------------------------


Kath mwahhhhhhh! Im so glad u felt happy by my txt - nice Surprise ha? :):) COOL!

yep I read abt those models..silly girls.

U r just great as u r Kath. U have a very healthy body and ur the secert ha? Gotta go bakk to Yoga soon :):) ty!

tc n have a great day mwahhhhhhhh!


Keshi.

Keshi said...

Seema hey ur absolutely spot on!

**As u rightly said its the attitude along with inner beauty that facinates!

aha...cos whats the point having a coockie-cutter-cut figure and no brains?

:) tnxxx!


------------------------------

Within,Without heyyy!

yeah some of us r genetically blessed. true.


**I'm sure it's easy for someone WITHOUT a weight problem to not be able to understand why other people DO.

thats true too. But my friend never had a weight problem. I think it's an unfulfilled emotional need thats seeking attention in this way.

tnxxx WW u have a great weekend!


----------------------

Ash ty Im glad u could relate to this post...I hope u dun go back to crash-dieting.

TC!

Guys I may have so many typos in my reply-comments today cos I typed real fast :) My apologies!

And have a great weekend all of ya!

SamY said...

** Guys you tell me...do you prefer flesh-less and skin-only women or fleshy, healthy and bubbly women like Uttsy and Beyonce?

y did ya leave urself from the list :)

being a wee bit flabby is what adds to a gr8 romance :) n muffles sounds he he, imagine hearing skeletons clashing ;)), besides its a burn-out age so fat helps

to tone down 2 not luk in awkward shape if fine, n to work out to not be flabby too

some ppl r thin by nature, they dun put weight not matter how much they eat, to not eat to become slim is darn silly

its anyday better to eat well, *junk foods inclusive* and exercise to stay healthy

show says slim is beautiful ... maybe on the ramp it is :) ... gud health is beautiful

if a person can't love their own body, thatz zero self-esteem/respect

reminds me of gODo who says he likes women with round round features =)) ROTFL

Cuckoo said...

My first visit here and this post of urs forced me to write. Yes, the pics are scary & somewhat sickening. I fully agree with you. In fact, I thought of posting something on the same topic. Now, I won't :) You did the job.

More than advice, your friend needs treatment (both physical & mental). I am sorry to have used such strong words but that is the truth.

Just nutritious diet & a bit of exercise depending on one's body needs does wonders.

I have a beautiful shapely body & I would never want to change it, let the world call me old-fashioned.

Jeevan said...

Every thing is limit, if it crosses, it will spoil our health. If ur friend thought to stop her diet and live a healthy life she can do, but for those who are born thin with less flesh, I don’t know how will they get strong health.

There was a family near my house, the dad, mom, and the children looks very lean. Their children go on sick many times, and visit doctors. I have seen many people who have diabetes loss their weight. Even my doctor advice me to not to eat much sweet products, to avoid breathing problem in my future.

Anonymous said...

heyyy.. back reading ur blog after quite soemtime.. been on n off the blogging scene.. but nice to be back reading.. :)
hmm.. pretty scary reading this post.. hmm.. as u said guys generally like curvy gals.. :P
hope ur friend realises this n changes for gud..

Anonymous said...

And I thought the ghost I would see would be you in a white dress, hair fanned out, holding a candle and singing a sad song...

And I agree with Suji, call me chauvinist or anything, but girls should have all the curves in right places.

Hey, do you remember the controversy JK Rowling's comments on this issue created recently?

EKENYERENGOZI Michael Chima said...

Sweet Keshi,
In Nigeria, thin lizzies would be sent to mental homes.

We have fattening homes for new brides, because we don't like thin women in Nigeria.

Levi Jeans just made "Eva" series for the extra-booty of African babes and ladies.

Voluptuous women are sexier and more enjoyable.

But personally, I prefer a woman who is neither thin nor fat. A woman built like Keshi.

God bless.

that is so heartsore keshi... i'll pray for her.

Romeo Morningwood said...

On the news yesterday it was announced that some shows are going to invoke a certain percentage of body fat as a marker for runway models...good luck...hope it works.

Fashionistas will always just tell you that clothes look better on skeletal people...and why are all of the designers always bitchy swishy plump stubby gay men????


Where are all the fleshpots? Universally men will always prefer those with some curves...like
Salma Hayek, Scarlet Johansson, Carmen Electra, and my personal favorite Monica Bellucci!
SCHA-WING!

baargh .. ya readin abt em size 0 models being banned n shit .... they shud be ...
the pics u put are so scary ... esp the second one
excess of anythin is bad!

long time .. u been alrite?

God bless your friend,Keshi. She has a disease and definitely needs help. I do hope she comes out of denial and sees the light.
Blessings!

Dalicia said...

actually it's really hard as a teenager to go through all this being perfect, but not nerdy....

i tried so hard to look skinnier. with all my yo-yo diets. at the end, i gave up and focus more on my health. i may never be kate moss....everyone's body is different. you just have to learn to appreciate yourself...

of course, eat healthy, exercise is the key. doesn't matter if u want to lose weight or what. but it's a long term benefit.

AnonymousBlogger said...

This is a tough situation. She should be applauded for losing any extra weight she may have had, but it's too bad she's going too far with it.

Super skinny girls are not hot. Maybe a guy needs to hell her THAT.

Give me her number and I'll call her.

I truly hope this girl comes to her senses, and starts eating HEALTHY, which she obviously isn't doing now.

Strictly for my friends said...

I completely agree with you on that one. I'm a bit overweight myself...but so what? I'd rather be plump than deprive myself of the good things in life!

:)

We do think similar!!

the first and second pic still scare me,LOL!

aww,im not sexier than you,Keshi!

Have a lovely weekend!muahhh!

Even Georgio Armani doesn't like skeletal babes.

"No one thinks that for a girl to be fashionable she needs to be anorexic, that she must not eat. I will only take on healthy girls," Designer Giorgio Armani Yahoo News, 22/09/2006

God bless.

Hi Keshi! What an excellent post, I am going to show this to Trisha!! She is VERY mature for her age in looks and intelligence! Thank God for that!! :))It's so sad to see those girls on the runway!Fortunately Spain has started a trend, hope they can keep it going! You and I, on the other hand, are GOOD LOOKING girls:)) What say?? :D:D
You just have to be healthy and happy to look beautiful and don't let others judge you but yourself. Hope your friend wakes up in time and live long!! Good luck to her!!
Have a great weekend , Keshi! Eat a nice juicy sandwich!! :D
Fondly and proudly your buddy!!(happy betn size 12-13):D:D

Keshi.. my first time on ur blog.. saw ur very interseting comments elsewhere.. and man.. this blog rocks!!

I don't know about Anorexia.. i have always been fat and so.. wish i could go from size 14 or 12 to 10 or 8.. :-( at the moment, i m in pangs of obesity!

Hi Keshi, life has been so busy here being school hollidays and all. I am going away tomorrow down the Peninsula with the kids for a week so I cannot wait.
This is a sad state of affairs for the youth and indeed the fashion industry. They must be held accountable. If they did not target these girls they would not encourage up and coming young women to be so thin.

Hi, I am a first timer on your blog...

Cool post..The pictures are really scary though...they remind me of the starvation pictures of ethiopia and somalia...

Many fashion cities are banning too skinny models from walking on the ramp...People like Nicole richie and Posh spice should take a break...

Unknown said...

Keshi- you've touched upon a subject that most of us deal with either directly or thru someone we know. i wish i oculd just send this post to a friend whose idea of beauty lies in the eye of her (fat) boyfriend and pushes her towards near-starvation diets. Attagirl! Spread the word!!

ANKIT said...

The problem is that of comparison and paying too much attention to what others have to say. Everyone's unique in their own way and self abuse as the one mentioned in the post is a very sad mindset which exists among many people.

Jeez Keshi.. they look like skeletons dressed.. Thankfully atleast a few in fashion industry have woken up and cracked down on this.. These things have been happening frm so long but for goodness sake the whole anorexia n other food related disorders are out in the open now.. A balanced diet is the need of the hour and not a NO-Diet..

round round features? LOL okkkk!

**More than advice, your friend needs treatment (both physical & mental

ur spot on! dun apologise cos that's exactly what I want to tell her too. Sometimes we have to be honest with our words to get some sense into a person who's in grave danger.

Im sure u have a very beautiful body and I'm so glad that ur a sensible girl to realise and value it's uniquness, health and beauty. All the best always and ty Cuckoo!

-------------------------------

Jeevan ur right...not everyone has average bodies. There r naturally thin ppl and we can criticise them. But it's ppl who have normal bodies and then go n wreck em by crash-dieting that seriously need to be counselled.

Diabeted can either make u put on or even lose weight. It's strange isnt it.

G'day Tanushree!

**do avoid over eating and keep exercising naturally without harming you body

Spot on! Thats what I say to everyone too cos it really works.

Elaine ur right...when we r teenagers we all wanna look slim n beautiful and it's hard to battle peer pressure.

** may never be kate moss....everyone's body is different

hehe I never really thought Kate Moss is sexy anways. D u?

yep...exercise it more for long-term benefits. It keeps u fit n healthy. And thats what matters.


--------------------------------

AB heyyy!

**Maybe a guy needs to hell her THAT.

she's married and her husband did tell her she's not so great-lookign anymore...but she doesnt listen to him. And he's not the kind of guy who forces his opinion on her. So she does her own thing.


**Give me her number and I'll call her.

LOL I wish I could do that mate :)


--------------------------------

Strictly_for_my_friends ur right....

tnxxx and yes I will always respect my body and health and never miss out on good food. ty sweeety and my kisses to Trisha!

---------------------------------


Adi thats true. There r so many ppl who wanna gain weight and cant cos it's their genes. It's so sad.


---------------------------------

WC how_do_we_know!

-------------------------------


Ganesh WC n tnxxx!

**they remind me of the starvation pictures of ethiopia and somalia...

LOL yes. And it's not a joke. Those ppl r dying out of food shortages and these girls r forcibly straving themselves. Maybe they should switch countries, what say?

btw ur right. Posh spice and Nicole Ritchie apparently dun eat at all! How sad.

--------------------------------


WC Sensorcaine!

I read ur comment in LaVidaLoca's blog and I realised ur a very sensible girl.


** i wish i oculd just send this post to a friend whose idea of beauty lies in the eye of her (fat) boyfriend and pushes her towards near-starvation diets.

LOL! omg she's getting wasted with that guy. If I were her, I'd have dumped him, not myself.


--------------------------------


Ankit thats right. Enjoy life indeed.

**and thats the way it goes for me,,,though with some precautions..>!!

true u need to be healthy too.


--------------------------------


Fuzzy thats sad...Im sorry to hear abt ur friend. I hope my friend dun end up dead. Im so worried now.

**People should be aware that beauty is an inner thing and not worry so much about the outer.

so true!

--------------------------------

G'day Mayur, thanks :)


--------------------------------

Scribblez heyy hows u girl?

**Know someone who had some harmonal change she suffered a lot after tht..

yes...cos stupid dieting messes up the body's chemicals big time. Alot of ppl dun realise that or they dun wanna learn that.


**I was very skinny until I got to US...But thts coz i genuienly hate food, even now I hate food!

why d u hate food sweety? dun u ever get hungry?

--------------------------------

Schrodinger's_Cat WC n tnxxxx!

**The problem is that of comparison and paying too much attention to what others have to say

So true! that is the underlying issue that gets women to feel inferior and insecure. It's lack of self-confidence too.

--------------------------------

Viv yes...a balanced diet indeed. But for alot of girls these days, its a NO-diet. How sad. My friend dun eat anything normal...she even fears an occassional piece of cake!

this is what she wrote. And then, some newspapers came out saying how she should not say things like this, because many bad characters in her novels are bad etc etc. Caused a lot of controversy on this...

Just when I asked to trade time, Keshi has gone busy. Looks like I have to find someone else.

Wassup keshi?

i agree everything shld be in moderation.. no wonder have moderation for ur comments too :P

Keshi: Me on "diet" no way girl....

I think its basically the media and soceity hep. People do ened to grow up in others ways to think they have to improve their brains rather improve their hip size. Whazt is size 2 and 6. I feel that size is for kids when they grow up but not for women.

Ther r ppl' who go for small sizes and ther r ppl' who cannot wear such sizes but make it awkward simply to get attention.

As long ppl' know the side effects of dieting and eating pills, they will not think positive.

Keshi said...

Fleiger tnxxx for that..I read it. She's spot on! Wudnt u rather know a person who's witty, intelligent, sensible and smart than skinny?


** because many bad characters in her novels are bad

lol arent 'bad' characters suoosed to be 'bad'?


-------------------------------

hey MG Im good ty! yeah I was very busy yday and a lil bit today. :)

Hows u?

-------------------------------

KK right now there r alot of bush fires in Sydney. Could it be cos of me? LOL!


--------------------------------

Heyyy Sudeep I thought u might wanna use one of the first 2 girls in ur desktop goddesses posts lol!

**nice diet with a gud exercise regime n a clean mind with gud thoughts makes the world's most beautiful person..

Spot on!

lol @comment moderation!


------------------------------

Priya ur right.

** Whazt is size 2 and 6. I feel that size is for kids when they grow up but not for women.

LOL yes whats with those sizes? I think it's plain UGLY for a grown-up woman to be of that size.

Sorry... typo there. It was supposed to be "Bad characters are fat". My bad...

Keshi said...

Fleiger heyyy!

**"Bad characters are fat"

are they? I mean I havent seen HP at all. Well maybe extra-fat, not just normal-fat. I have also seen very thin 'bad' characters in cartoons/movies.

Also have u seen Addams Family? What abt Lurch? He's lanky and pretty lean :) And Uncle fester is fat n wobbly lol! So yeah there r many fat/thin 'scary'/'bad' characters :):)

temporary insanity said...

i just read ur post and it sure does strike a bell!!from personal experience,i have come a long way,from a size 16 to a good size 8-10,but luckily for me i knew where to stop....i feel only pity for ur friend,there is a limit to everything.she needs to pull up her socks and get things into perspective.
and believe u me,all is fine,but putting yourself through this torture and short cut end to ur life,just cos some self centered,ftv addict guy says ure big!!!thats just the worst thing.ure friend definately needs to get a life.
my god,those cakes and chocolates are there for u to enjoy,and u have just one life to eat them all:))
ps:those pics scared the hell out of me.

Keshi said...

WC Temporary_Insanity!
