An upsetting find...
So I'm not feeling entirely great at this precise moment in time, reasons are many-fold, but one thing in particular has upset me. I was virtually wandering through the depths of YouTube and by one path or another I found pages upon pages of videos of young girls starving themselves, glamorising severe weight loss and promoting various eating disorders. This surely can't be right?! Eating disorders are not glamorous or healthy and certainly not something that should be publicised as being so. I've battled with eating disorders since I was 14, at my lowest point I was a size 6 and weighed less than 7stone, and it wasn't pretty. At the minute I've been banned from weighing myself at the gym because I was becoming obsessive with it and I even think that Dave has hidden my tape measures...(on a tangent he's being wonderfully supportive about it all, and I'm terribly grateful) Yes I am trying to lose weight, but I am trying to do it sensibly by eating well and exercising, thankfully I don't feel the need to starve myself or purge. But yeah those videos have upset me, I just hope those girls learn, like I did, before it's too late.
