Hi D. Prince,
Let’s hope Nicole Richie takes a real good look at this picture of Karen Carpenter and does something about her anorexia before she becomes another statistic. It’s a shame women can’t see themselves realistically and realize that’s it’s possible to be “too thin”, though maybe not “too rich”. This photo is so sad…..

It really is sad.

Having watched a close & beloved female relative waste away, I get woozy lookin' at pics like this. I'm glad neither of them is holding a can of Boost, at least.

Maybe Nicole can get implanted fake muscles all over her body, and she can live on styrofoam peanuts and never have to explain herself again!

It really bothers me that she cannot see how GROSS she looks. I think if a magazine was showing pictures of me looking like a child from a third world country, I would eat lardshakes three times a day.

So gross and sad.

I looked at those pictures and it really hit me that Karen Carpenter DIED for real and Nicole Richie and Kate Bosworth could to if they don't get help really soon.

Sounds dramatic but that's what I thought when I saw this picture.

My god. In what perverted world can that reflection be pleasing to the eye?

Hi D. Prince,
The anorexic doesn’t look in the mirror and see the real image; they have a distorted vision of themselves as being “fat” and “ugly”. Everyone else thinks they resemble human skeletons, but they don’t see it that way. Anorexia is about “control”; if a person feels they’ve lost control of certain aspects of their life, food is one area they can take charge of, even if it causes suffering or death.

I hope Nicole will be able to take an objective look at Karen Carpenter and realize that she’s heading down the same self destructive path and seeks professional help before it’s too late.

Even if Nicole doesn't see a problem, why doesn't her family and friends do something? It's been covered all around the world that she's undergone a drastic weight loss (not neccessarily 100% due to an eating disorder). Why can't they see that she's a walking skeleton?
