How come there is a lot of help out there for annerexics but not people with obesity? |
How come there is a lot of help out there for annerexics but not people with obesity? you ask some good questions, and yes you're right, people see anorexics as sick and people see fat people as greedy. I think help is always available for fat people and anorexics, all depends who cries out for help. what do you know how many diet books and classes are out there for fat people Because the majority of obese people that are like that is from their own fault not a medical condition (i'm sure most try and blame it on being medical condition) There is help for the obese, exercise and stop eating crap! Basically this size Zero trend is getting stupid i watched some programme on BBC Three last night about this lady who slimmed down to size zero it was shocking on what she had to... eat like 500calories today and then they showed victoria beckhams wasit was sick. ALSO there were teenage girls saying that they would slim down to a size zero anyday... WHAT also annoys me is that have you heard about those kids that are getting taken away from there familys just because they are over weight? If there was more help out there that didnt cost so much people wouldn't get to skinny or to fat ALSO adverts dont help when every single advert is about slimming down... anyway rant over. I think there is help on both sides. I'm overweight and frustrated because I don't seem to be able to shift it, and the doc doesn't want to know. On the other hand, my friend is anorexic and buleimic, 5 and a half stone and dying. All they can do is wait til she collapses, rush her to hospital and put her on a feeding tube. I guess if I get to be 30 stone, they will consider wiring my jaw before I collapse. I can't see that one has more support than the other, although I can see that anorexia is more acceptable as a 'disorder', whereas you are veiwed as a gluttinous couch-potato if you are a pound overweight. Selling false hope to fat people is more profitable than actually helping them. IMHO many anorexics generally do not want to get better, finding their way back to health takes years of medical and psychological care. And, they are the hype du jour which only makes it more glamorous (if you can call a skeleton glamorous). |
