Hi Bleach, this is a support forum, and that means we care about each other. Alina, Kaillean and I are trying to encourage Geraldine (who has an eating disorder history) to eat a little more because we are concerned about her well being. My "opinion" will always be that to encourage someone who is verging on underweight to lose more would be irresponsible. Eating disorders don't just cause major health problems - they kill.

Fortunately, Geri is trying to overcome her problems and I think we should all be supporting her in this.

I'm sorry if I sound a little harsh Bleach, but in my work as an RN, I have nursed some tragic cases of girls whose health has been destroyed by eating disorders. It is far more serious than just "wanting to be thin."
