Brahms: you do know that when you have anorexia nervosa (if this is what it is) you don't have choices, right? You are addicted to not eating so have no more choice than a heroin addict has to saying yes or no to heroin? Yes, there is a choice, but it is really really really really really really hard to make the right choice and pretty much impossible to do so without some heavyweight, full-on, medicalised intervention.

Her shoes are falling off because she is shrinking.

tartyhighheels · 12/03/2010 21:25

Brahms - don't you spend some time posting about how low your BMI is? I think your eye maybe not as atune as some others to see when something is horribly wrong. If she looks this thin in a photograph in real life it will be shocking.

I really think that this is an incredibly sad sight - poor girl, she seems to have lost her grip on how lovely she looked.

notnowbernard · 12/03/2010 21:27

SHe will have lost sight of reality at this weight

And be in denial most probably

BravoJuliet · 12/03/2010 21:31

Who cares "what men like". She is dangerously, life-threateningly thin. That's the point.

Her manager shouldn't be denying there's an issue. Maybe he can't get through to her, but to turn around and say "she's the healthiest she's ever been is just ridiculous

BravoJuliet · 12/03/2010 21:35

i shouldn't laugh but lol at poking a pile of broken chairs!

Alambil · 12/03/2010 21:35

I didn't even know who she was til I saw the old photos

DinahRod · 12/03/2010 21:37

She used to be bulimic, now looks like she's suffering from anorexia.

noddyholder · 12/03/2010 21:38

Brahms are you trying to be deliberately provocative She looks ill no question has all the signs physically and her face looks dreadful

glitterstar88 · 12/03/2010 21:40

'I think she's lost a lot of weight, but black tights make people's legs look thinner. '

Black tights might make peoples legs look thinner, but they dont make it look like your knees are gonna poke through your skin and make your hands look skeletal.

UnquietDad · 12/03/2010 21:40

Exactly, southeasteastra has probably hit the nail on the head...

I only brought in the "what men like" aspect as a pre-emptive strike. Sooner or later, someone would have got it in and claimed that it's all a result of these girls having to "look good", which is of course the Fault of the Nasty Big Stick-Wielding Patriachal Misogynists out there.

notnowbernard · 12/03/2010 21:41

NOt sure if Brahms is being deliberately provocative. But she has posted extensively about her own weight and others' perception of it

bibbitybobbityhat · 12/03/2010 21:49

Brahms has her own problems in this field. I hope to God she is not as underweight as this poor girl here.

BrahmsThirdRacket · 13/03/2010 00:36

'Anorexia' is a very specific clinical diagnosis, you can't tell whether someone suffers from it just by looking at them. Being that thin is probably requisite for making a lot of money in LA.

tartyhighheels · 13/03/2010 08:29

brahms - blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - you spend so much time 'drawing attention' to your own plight I would have imagined after all the replies people have given you that you could see why people (particularly women who have young daughters) would be really concerned about this - this girl is wasting away and being as she is in a very very popular group loved by lots of little girls and young teens her plight does bear scrutiny.

she is too thin, whatever you say, she is and it cannot be good for her can it? that is not a healthy weight and doesn't matter if it is a prerequisite for making money in the US - just horrible to see

anorexia yes is a specific diagnosis but she is looking very poorly and a shame no one can step in and help her

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 13/03/2010 08:32

If these are real pics she looks DANGEROUSLY thin, not "naturally skinny" or "stylish".

BravoJuliet · 13/03/2010 09:44

yes, I can't believe anybody would look at that picture and talk about her clothes. whatever label you put on it, she's not well. she needs to go back to derry for some hang sangers

Pofacedagain · 13/03/2010 14:37

You do not get that thin from anything but
1] being very ill
2] having an eating disorder/being very ill.
3] living in a country that has food shortages.
