Eating Disorder Talk

There’s a new book in town, ready to provide an essential way of life. If you want to be a skinny bitch, that is. Just ask Victoria Beckham.

The Skinny Bitch book’s sales went through the roof after size 0 Posh-Spice was seen buying it. The book, apparently a vegan diet with some attitude thrown in, was written by ex-model agent Rory Freedman and former model Kim Barnouin. In my opinion, word of mouth and North America’s passion for doing what the celebs do could make this book a very successful precursor for many young women’s flourishing eating disorders and low self esteem.

An excerpt from the book, as printed in The Sun,

YOU don’t need a degree in biology to get skinny. You don’t need to starve yourself to get skinny.
You don’t need to spend all day at the gym to get skinny.
You just need to smarten up and use your head.
The first thing you need to do is give up your gross vices.
Don’t act surprised! You cannot keep eating the same s**t and expect to get skinny.
Don’t even try some pathetic excuse like, “But if I quit smoking, I’ll gain weight.”
Cigarettes are for losers. They are so 1989 and uncool.
Of course it’s easier to socialize after you’ve had a few drinks.
But being a fat pig will hinder you, sober or drunk. And habitual drinking equals fat-pig syndrome. Fizzy drinks are liquid Satan.
There is nothing in soda that should be put in your body. Unless you are from Mars, you’ve heard about the “eight glasses of water a day” thing.
Water is vital for keeping your body clean and detoxified.
If the taste of water bores you, try jazzing up the flavour with a slice of lemon or lime. Say goodbye to soda and hello to sweet ass.
Think how widely accepted it has become that people need coffee to wake up.
If you can’t wake up without it, it’s because you are either addicted to caffeine, sleep deprived, or a generally unhealthy slob.
It may seem like the end of the world to give up your daily dose.
But it’s not heroin, girls, and you’ll learn to live without it. Use your head.
Candy bars, potato chips, and ice cream taste like heaven, of course. But they will pitch a tent on your hips and camp out all year.
Whenever you see the words “fat-free” or “low-fat”, think of the words “chemical s**t storm.”
Give up the notion that you can be sedentary and still lose weight.
Eating properly will dramatically improve your health, body and all aspects of your life.
But you’ve still gotta move your ass.

Yes, it does specifically say that you don’t need to starve yourself or overexercise…but how many people will actually listen to those words?
