I swear these girls are getting thinner every year. I've been in fitness for almost 10 years now, and I was a nutritionist before that. People were healthy looking back then, but what was healthy back then is what most people call "fat" today. When I first started personal fitness, my clients were mainly post-pregnant women wanting to lose what they had gained or men wanted to tone up their abs and add more definition. Later, people who already looked pretty much perfect were coming in and wanting to tone up their calves and arms. In the past 3 years, it's all about skinny people wanting to lose even more weight. You get people who look like Cindy Crawford coming in who want to be more like Nicole Ritchie. I mean what the hell? Cindy's a lot more human looking than Nicole. Even Paris Hilton looks fat compared to Nicole Richie now. It makes me question my job sometimes. How far do people have to want to go for me to say "okay, no more sessions with you." This whole Mary Kate anorexia look is not pretty. Leave it to the Ethiopians to keep up that look.

    if you're training these people, you're perpetuating their problem!

    Dizzielizzie: you are an idiot. How is gymnut perpetuating anything? He's just doing his job. Is he holding a gun to these people's heads and forcing them to work out until they look like a toothpick? Does McDonalds force people to get fat? No, people do it to THEMSELVES. Leave him the fuck alone, moron.

    Hey i agree one hundred percent with chevychase, I mean he is not forcing them to do this to themselves. and i agree with him also people are sick in todays world. I mean i am over wieght i will admit it, i am about 5'3 i wiegh 172 and ya know, i am happy with that. Many people od not believe me when i say i wiegh that much. they think i hide it well. I dont believe skinny shoud lbe the fad i am not sayin we should all run around liek little porkers either but i think we should be happy with our selves if we can embrace that it should not matter what you wiegh. People need to wake up to reality and see what they are doing to themselves! ya know? Hey thanks for posting this!

its bad news
the fat old fart pyscho of mine has told my mom that Im losing weight too quickly and that he strongly reccomends that I go to a clinic....
Im anorexic...and bulimic. It took me 5 years to figure that one out. In fact even after I was diagnosed I still denied it. But I reckon thats the first step isn't it. Acceptance....well. Ive accepted! I am anorexic and when I do eat, I purge. And that is...
Well just an update on the weight front...Ive really been trying to focus on feeling better about who I am as a person, be proud of my achievements and such, and to not obsess about food but....well I dont know, old habits die hard I suppose!...
Another secret...after confessing the last one I feel quite liberated to tell another one! This secret isn't as life altering but well I suppose it might be...I don't think I old enough and far away enough from this secret to look at it objectively.
...
This is in preparation for next year...I want to look beautiful...
