  i did not crawl out of 2010s ED culture and spend years trying to heal my relationship with food/my body just for another generation of girls to have to deal with the same thing, only dressed up differently

  Hey, incoming psychiatrist here, wanted to share my thoughts. I think the biggest issue when people try to shut down this conversation by saying that we “shouldn’t be commenting on women’s bodies” is the underlying assumption that talking about obesity and extreme thinness are the same thing, even though they are very much not. The simple fact of the matter is that starvation will kill you a HELL of a lot faster than obesity will. Obesity is a chronic condition that is managed over time. Anorexia is a CRISIS. It is an emergency that needs IMMEDIATE medical attention. You can live with obesity; you cannot live without adequate nutrition, especially not when you are doing something as physically strenuous as performing on tour. The point of having these conversations is not to attack anybody; I have zero interest in scrutinizing Ms. Grande’s personal life and I sincerely hope she is doing ok. This is not an “Ariana Grande” problem; this is a cultural and societal problem with glamorizing starvation and EDs. Obviously this is nothing new; Hollywood has been doing this forever, but it still needs to be addressed, especially when the end result is large numbers of people literally starving themselves to death because they’ve been influenced into believing they need to look a certain way. It breaks my heart that we’ve created a culture where people feel like they need to do this to themselves, because they don’t. NOTHING is worth the damage that EDs do to your body and your mind.

  Seeing body positivity be hijacked to defend eating disorders and silence conversations around their harm is so fucking bonkers and also the most 2020s thing imaginable. We&apos;re in the era of denying the truth in front of our faces, apparently.

  There is a video from a German YouTuber who’s talking to people with various illnesses. He also meets with an anorexic woman and she seems so happy and lively in the video, even talks about wanting to get better and they end with planning a part 2. part 2 happened with her parents, because only few weeks after the first interview she died. Went to vacation with a friend, they had a nice day and in the afternoon she asked her friend to sleep next to her because she feels like dying, which she did. Fell asleep, didn’t wake up. I can’t believe people don’t understand that a body just dies at some point. Anorexic people don’t run on Energy, they run on the sheer will of a body to live until there is nothing left

  I&apos;m 60 yrs old and have known a LOT of women with EDs. Not a single one of them that suffered with them from a young age and weren&apos;t able to get them under control and keep it under control, are alive today. Not a single one of them, (one was one of my very best friends), made it into their 40s. Please, if you are suffering now, please get help. You can do it! You really can!

  A few weeks ago I was really worried about my heart condition and I was asking my cardiologist for reassurance, as ‘sudden death’ is a rare complication that can happen as a result of it, he told me ‘well you’ve already survived anorexia, and the risk of sudden death with that is 40x higher’ <br><br>That answer changed my brain chemistry. I had been struggling with food at the time, and that sentence alone convinced me to never let myself slip back into it again.

  She mentioned on the Amy Pohler interview that she has been shooting the next Fockers movie immediately after Wicked, in which she plays a marathon runner. So she has been doing extreme cardio post Wicked in relation to the role, and is now touring. I immediately thought-“this will be the PR justification for what seems to be strategic career-calculated ED behavior”. And here we are. Months later. Shows how deeply the behavior and frailty is being facilitated and enabled by teams and an industry.
