I'd rather grab hold of a Beyonce than try to grab hold of a Nicole.

[Ella]

[Emilee]

Why?? you thinking of dieting???

Coz i did the special K challenge for 2 weeks breakfast and dinner with a healthy tea.... and i lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks! i was well amazed!

[Bells]

^^^ Really? I might try something like that!

[Emilee]

It was good.... Everyone was laughing at me for bringing cereal to school for dinner. I did it last summer and had to buy milk from the cafeteria every break.. coz if i brought it from home it would go off..... haha.. the good times.

[Bells]

LOL... who cares what they think anyway eh?
It worked in the end.

[Emilee]

Yup not like it made a difference in the long run though....... Im never gonna be able to lose any weight coz im always gonna stay the same as i am now..... I always just go back to 8.2 whatever (omg! i'VE JUST POSTED MY WEIGHT ON THE INTERNET! )

I dont bother doing diets... eating healthy and excersiing regulary is the best thing to do.

[Bells]

LOL that's ok.
And yeah you're right, except I don't do it as much! I should do really... I'll try harder, haha.

Grrr.. I'm having problems with the stupid scanner! I'l have to ask my dad to fix it tonight.

Red, I don't have much stuff. Just a real life story about someone to went size zero, a page about size sero celebrities and then factfiles about anorexia and bulimia. I'll try to look for more though!

From The Independent. It ain't just girls you know!

Size zero: The boys

Waif-like young men are also starving themselves to get the work they crave, report Ian Griggs and Lauren Veevers

As they sashay along the catwalks for the beginning of London Fashion Week today, stick-thin models will be the centre of attention. Yet not all will be women: boys are now under pressure to achieve "size zero" figures, too.

As fashion experts yesterday added to the row over skinny models, male stars of the shows revealed they are coming under enormous pressure to slim down to dangerously low weights. They say designers no longer want a buffed, toned male body to show off their clothes. Instead, they want waifs who can rival women in slenderness and androgynous looks.

One model, Ron Saxen, has written a book about his ordeal. It details how the pressure to be slim led to a battle with anorexia which, he says, almost killed him as he desperately tried to keep himself in work.

"My routine would be to get up, have a cup of coffee, run five miles, have another cup of coffee, cycle 20 miles, have a break and then swim 20 lengths of the pool," said Mr Saxen. "I put a lot of pressure on my heart. I had come down to 205lb, but I needed to get down to around 175lb to be a model. So I did it, and at 6ft 1in I was mostly skin and bones. But I got a contract."

Dior is one of the fashion houses leading the demand for stick-thin young men. Chris Ulyatt, 19, modelled for Dior last year. At 6ft 2in, he weighs only 10 stone.

"I was approached in the street by the head of Dior Homme," said Mr Ulyatt. "He was on what's called a boy safari. All the lads on the catwalk were tall and skinny and androgynous-looking. It's what they go for."

Health experts are warning of more men developing eating disorders. Janet Treasure, director of the eating disorders unit and professor of psychiatry at Guy's, King's and St Thomas' medical school in London, said that images of male models had an effect on men that was comparable with the size-zero fad among women.

The London Development Agency, which sponsors London Fashion Week, is to look at the pressure put on models to be thin and will examine whether the promotion of size-zero models leads to eating disorders.

'The Good Eater: the true story of one man's struggle with binge eating disorder' by Ron Saxen is published next month

The Slim Line

Increasingly, designers want wafer-thin male counterparts to the female size zero. The hot look is tall and gaunt. Health experts say this sends a bad message to men prone to eating disorders.

Right. I managed to get it working. Scanned loadss of things (got a bit carried away- so sorry if you think iv'e scanned a load of rubbish).

The only thing i didn't manage to scan was the real life story (lost the blinking Sugar magazine!!) But I managed to find another one in Love It magazine. I have to post it later though.

Most of these are celebrity related and I added something on anorexia and bulimia.

Thanks for them Soph... They were interesting.

[spacebandit]

I find nothing at all attractive about a stick in a dress.

[Emilee]

Me either..... I dont understand why clothes look good on size zero modelas either... They just hang off them. Not a good look.
