I have lost a lot of weight over the past year and I am around happy with it, but if I ever went through dramatic weight gain, I'd be more than happy to go to drastic measures to get rid of it.

You're making it sound like it's normal and theres nothing too bad about it. Its "okay" cos theyre body conscious?
It can make women infertile, and can even kill people. It ruins their lives. All because they want to be thinner than they already are.
You say you're body conscious, and you'd be happy to conduct drastic measures to lose a lot of weight, well theres this thing called
exercise. It's healthy, and doesn't ruin peoples lives and destroy their body.
I know you're not supporting anorexia, so maybe I have come across as a bit harsh - but from your post you're certainly condoning people with anorexia.
Its not just a case of being sick after meals or not eating at all. Your bones become brittle, for women - their periods stop and they can get infections, your stomach lining begins to tear away because of the acidity, and it can cause infection and death. The reason celebrities are criticised is because youngsters don't see this side of things. They just see a thin celeb.
