I know this is *slightly* hypocritical as I'm a bit of a weirdo with weightloss as well, but I totally agree. I recently studied a pro-ana community as part of my course, and it seems there's a fair amount of folk whose eating disorders were triggered by what started out as a straightforward diet. So (especially taking the ultra low goal weight into account) I don't think Vicki/Vicky(? sorry!) is being over the top at all.
Lose a few pounds, fair enough, but get that ridiculous target weight to fuck.
