Re: The all-new, all-singing, all-dancing two stone for whenever thread.

I didn't realise that just because something stupid or dangerous is common we should condone it when in direct contact with it. Obviously I'm just naive. Also, the blatant obtuseness of some of these posts amuses me - advising a perfectly healthy teenager not to lose 3st to become severely underweight can now be summed up as "So fat people are allowed to lose weight and skinny people aren't."... nice.

I'll admit I was blunt to the point of maybe overly harsh, but I'm not going to mollycoddle a perfectly intelligent user who is saying she's going to do something stupid to the point of life-threatening. And no, I'm not being overdramatic - anorexia induced malnutrition (and I'm not saying she has anorexia, but if she's going to diet to that extreme it will have the same physiological effects on her body) has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness... approximately 10%. That's not something to sniff at.
