I watched Fearne's documentary about Anorexia and how young girls - as young as 10 year old - are conscious of their weight.
It boggles the mind, as to why a 10 year old would be concerned about their body weight and not just concentrating on having fun. However, it is clear that concerns about the body can run deeper than the thought of being 'fat' - there is a bad psychological aspect to anorexia which often results in a waste of life.
The programme also made reference to PRO ANOR websites, which advise people on how to stay stick thin - offering strict diets, pictures of the right way to look - it is some scary stuff.
Young people, in particular girls, are dying and it's so important young people to know that being thin, does NOT equal happiness or even a long life.
Fearne was right to do a documentary like this, especially in the position she is in...
