She looks like she’s at death’s door with anorexia and yet she’s just kicked off a world tour.

I thought we were living in more enlightened times now and that celebrities’ ill health wouldn’t be enabled like this. If she went to any hospital she’d get admitted for malnutrition.

Gosh bless her. She does look like a beautiful doll.

ED are really hard. Everyone around you sees it but you get sucked into the narrative and can not speak out. The amount of times I have been worried then shot down at someone being 6.5 stone at 5,4" is normal for THEIR frame. Then you get brainwashed into that narrative.

I'm 5,4 and if weighed 6.5 stone, there would be grave concern. But it's just auntie, friend, etc who has a tiny frame so it's normal and healthy for them. Then they loose more weight and you dare not talk about it.

Maybe BMIs are OK below 16 say, but there's no reserves. You get a week say of noro or flu and your not in position to afford to not eat or be sick when already so slim.
