Crash Dieting

Do you know what always used to be talked about until pregnant stars stole the spotlight? Crash dieting. Crash dieting is driving teenage to starve themselves to lose weight.
Sometimes young girls think that a diet where you eat nothing, or very little, is fine because they just want the bodies some celebrities have. Then they end up in the hospital getting food from a tube, and they wonder why they lost so much weight and still look nothing like the pictures of stars. Here is the reason why; it’s called airbrushing.
Airbrushing is the tampering of people’s pictures so that a person looks taller and skinnier than they really are. The media is responsible for this and sometimes I wonder if the people who work for big-time magazines that airbrush the pictures realize the could be responsible for the next teenage girl that ends up in the ER. So next time you look at a magazine and see a picture of a beautiful celeb on the cover and you start to wish that you looked exactly like her, remember that we are all different and that you are beautiful just the way you are.

VERY TRUE! I find that if u want to lose weight dont eat till ur full but dont eat to little. eat enought that u dont starve but ur not consuming ur body weight in food. i learned this from personal experience. i have never crash dieted but i dont eat so much. find somthing to do. get a hoby. or just start doing chores. if u just sit around and watch tv then u will be more tempted to eat.
