On Friday, March 24 a news item ref: Skinny model was put onto the forum front page. An individual named ‘lily’ responded and continues to respond. After reading through her posts I began to have doubts about this person since she seems not to be particularly addressing those responding to her queries or pleas for help.
Because I was intrigued by this young girl I checked to have response alerts sent via e-mail. Over a period of time I began to suspect that ‘lily’ may not be exactly as ‘she’ has painted herself. On the other hand, she might be valid.
I’ve included the SKINNY MODEL blog url, and have also edited for clarity here ONLY ‘lily’ posts and the particular responding posts to her. (I have to paste into a couple posts here because of size.) My last comment to her I have put into bold [here, not in the original]. I had wanted to see if the young woman would pick up on my inclination and respond to it but she didn’t. What do you think?

Lily, ‘Skinny’ is not the what you want….’Beautiful’ is what you want and they are very different things.
Fasting like you’re doing will only make you sick and put you in the hospital. It can cause medical problems that can kill you. I know, I nearly died several times. Afterwards your body ‘thinks’ you had faced famine so it tries to store even MORE calories that you eat and you gain even MORE weight.
Here is the best method: Your hands do not change much in structure or even in fatty tissue so I had my own clients use them as a guide.
1. Open them up. You have 10 fingers. Each day drink 10 glasses of water.
2. Look at ONLY the palm of one hand. Each day eat a protein like meat or cheese that is as large as (but only as large as) your palm and as thick.
3. On one hand you have 4 fingers and 1 thumb. Each day eat four fruits and vegetables… two helpings of vegetables and two helpings of fruit. If you have a cooked vegetable that is soft, like mashed potatoes, use the guide in number 4. below.
4. Now cup your hand. Within the area of that cupped hand, have a grain each day… like cereal or cooked rice, but only as much as would fill the cupped part of YOUR hand, not anyone elses.
5. Your two thumbs represent a special treat, like a couple small cookies. VERY small.
If you want cake or icecream, only have these twice a week and icecream should again only be in an amount that would fill the cup of your hand.
Use sugar sparingly and don’t eat things that have been fried or breaded.
But the very BEST thing is DANCE!!!! Dance every single chance you get….not only will it get you thin and beautiful, but it’s the best way to show off your beautiful moves to the guys! So, DANCE and celebrate life! You have ALL of that ahead of you!

lily, you shouldn’t be doing that. thats a misconception that if you dont eat you lose weight. many people think that. you should be happy, and if the boys dont like you because your not skinny then forget about them. theyre shallow.
Lily, the truth is most boys don’t like girls that skinny. Most people think that girls who are that skinny look gross. Just exercise and eat at least three meals a day, consisting of chicken, fish or beef with green veggies on the side. Also drink plenty of water and cut down on soda, fried food and sweets. Whether you are overweight or not, everyone should eat that way. And why do you need a boy anyways? If a guy doesn’t like you for you then he’s not worth your time, no matter how cute he is. You should focus on liking yourself, who gives a crap what other people think? most of the losers I went to school with are either meth addicts or on welfare. Do you really care what future meth addicts think of you? I thought not. When I was your age I had terrible acne, and boys didn’t look at me, I felt really bad about myself.
When I was around 20 I met a great guy who thought I was beautiful regardless of that, and I got on acutane to help me feel better about myself. Now I hardly get pimples and I’ve lost weight, the healthy way. But my point is, You’re too young to be caring about your weight, You should only be concerned about your health. You just need to be a kid right now, and I know you don’t want to hear it and it sounds condescending, but it’s the truth. I just wish that when I was your age, I had spent more time playing than wondering if people liked me, if I had known then what I know now, I would have been a happier child and things people said would have rolled off my back.
