| Stupid Quotes I know we have a few siggys here with great quotes. Ann, I know you got some good ones you cycle through. But on another forum I frequent, there was one that really had me bothered: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." -Kate Moss Ok, now KM is known to be a drug user/abuser and rose to fame for her heroine chic look. As a sister and a cousin to both an anorexia and bulemia survivor, this quote in someone's siggy as a reminder of not to overeat on a cruise really struck a nerve with me. Oh how I wanted to message that ignorant person but I decided it would fall on deaf ears and decided to vent here instead. And you know how skinny feels? Like starving! You know how healthy feels? Like amazing!

| I agree with your opinion. As much as I would like to be trimmer, looking like a heroin addict is never anything I have aspired to. I am overweight and some days I feel like a slug, but I eat and drink what I want & wouldn't want it any other way. Starving myself just isn't an option to me in a happy existance.

| Isn't that funny.... I always thought that was a Weight Watchers quote. Who knew? On a different note... I was watching Entertainment Tonight and they were talking about the movie Love Story. Even the actors agreed about the movie's famous quote being stupid..."Love means never having to say you are sorry." It made me giggle to hear Allie McGraw say that, but I still think the movie is a tear jerker. (Hope this fits in with what you are talking about.)

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I hear you on this one. Pretty much all my female cousins and my sister all have had eating disorders of some sort, so I don't like to see this kind of thing either. The worship of rail thinness bothers me bc it's such an impossible ideal unless you're a metabolic miracle or unless you do some unhealthy to achieve it. I have to wonder....will we ever, ever, ever appreciate just a more normal body in women? I think the fashion industry may prevent us from ever getting there, sadly.

| Skinny feels good, but my homemade pizza is definitely > skinny. A healthy body needs to be fed. Not pizza, but it needs food.

| My Aunt/Godmother, died at 27 years old, she had conquered Anorexia and Bulimia but the damage to her body was too much...she left behind a wonderful husband, a 6mo old baby, 11 brothers and sisters, and 30+ nieces and nephews. We have never forgotten her.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | That Kate Moss quote really sets my teeth on edge. Totally inappropriate message.

And I saw on Extra or something them talking about Love Story. That is a stupid quote! But I never saw that movie. Before my time. I am very sorry to hear this.

| For me, I like to be skinny. I'm a little over 6 feet but at my healthiest weighing in the low 170s. It's when I have my most energy, when I sleep best, and when my body feels best. A month ago I was at 200 and just felt horrible all the time. So I changed me eating habits to lots of chicken & turkey, sometimes on top of lots of spinach, sometimes in brown rice fried up in olive oil with lots of bell pepper, onions, and serranos, sometimes in sandwiches with lots of spinach... stuff like that for dinners 5 days a week and lunches 7 days. Then eliminated bacon, breakfast tacos, and sugary cereal for oatmeal and eggs most of the time for breakfast (still gotta have Cinnamon Toast Crunch a couple times a week though). Then a couple times a week I eat the bad for you food like enchiladas, chalupas, borracho beans with bacon and pork, fatty brisket and sausage, chorizo, etc. And then fruit instead of Snickers. I feel like eating what you really want only some of the time and eating healthy most of the time is the best way to go for me. It makes me really enjoy the meals I like, really look forward to getting my bag of Jelly Belly's each week, but also view food as mostly just fuel I need to power my body. So far eating well 5 nights a week and running have let me drop down to 188 in a month, down from 200.

| But I do agree that's a stupid thing to say before a cruise. I mean who doesn't stuff themselves with lobster, sushi, steak, and cheesecake on a freaking cruise? LOL

| Ok maybe I need to clarify something. I'm fairly skinny. I'm about 5'2" and go between 115-120lbs. I try to eat healthy and cook at home most meals. I only eat meat and carbs once per day (not counting seafood and eggs as meat though). I do drink though. But the fact that this person is using KM's quote as a good thing really irked me. I don't think anyone should look at her as a role model. She admitted to not walking down the runway sober for the first 10 yrs of her career. She's been caught on tape snorting cocaine. Clearly she is thin not bc of her healthy eating habits, but bc of drugs and alcohol. That is why I got upset by it. Plus my family history with eating disorders. I don't disagree with you, I like being skinny too, but not enough to starve myself or use drugs to get that way like KM. And then to put that as your siggy! I really don't get some people.

Have you seen those sites that glorify anorexia or just super thin celebs? Awful. I don't have a problem with featuring models and actresses in magazines and movies who are not typical of the general population. But the one site, I don't recall the name, devoted to women who prefer to be super thin, hates the likes of Cindy Crawford, for example, for being too "fat." Ridiculous.

| I know what you're talking about. They call it "thinspo"like thin inspiration. I haven't visited any sites like that tho. Would not want to. It's very disturbing.
