I believe that although there are some genuine cases - I think a lot of cases are based on the attention-seeking behaviour of insecure girls - far too pre-occupied with the way they look - which eventually leads to physical and mental illness!

It's not sexist. But you don't have to be so blunt either. The ones who are really ill don't shout about it, people don't find out often till they are too far gone. So it's hardly attention seeking at all seen as they do their best to hide it. Maybe you should go read up on it before making misinformed views.
