Most slim girls are anorexic

Boys, please avoid telling your girl friends that they are fat because you are adding insult to the injury. I say most slim girls are anorexic but in mild state because whenever we hear the comment "you're gaining weight" the race is on to slim down.
In my experience, I find this techniqe very effective--at least for me. Before meal I would eat fruits first because they make me feel a little full already but since fruits are mostly fibrous and are very easy to digest they don't stay too long in the stomach and don't turn into fats. But if there are no fruits available, I drink a glass of water or juice. This lessens my appetite to eat too much especially if the foods are my most favorites couldn't control eating.
Finally, one has to have a strong self-discipline. Otherwise, all of the efforts to slim down are useless.

This topic is close to my heart. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who feel compelled to comment on other peoples weight. It really bothers me and it can be so hurfull and even dangerous. I do think the reason many girls are anorexic is because so many people make a big issue of weight. My family (parents and siblings and mother in law) have a habit of commenting on peoples weight. As a child I was always aware of my dad teasing my mother about her weight. And the top of weight came up often in my family. It is a surpise to me that I did not end up anorexic.
People really do need to learn to be kinder to one another and keep their rude comments to themselves. It is one thing to want your loved ones to be healthy and eat healthy, but commenting on a persons appearance, in my opinion can only be hurtful, not helpful.

That is very true about water and fruits. I have lost alot of weight before from drinking alot of water. I mean like at least 3 20 oz bottles of water a day. I need to try that again and staying away from starches and eating mainly fruits, meats mostly chicken and fish and eating fruits.

I'd say that a majority of super thin girls probably do have some sort of eating disorder; however, I know a couple of girls who are extremely skinny and eat but they just don't seem to gain any weight at all.

I'm not sure that most slim girls are anorexic.
I hope you eat more than water and fruit! Even overweight people can end up on starvation diets and it can also be bad. Different diets work for different people, but you should always go for health (water and fruit is healthy if it's not the only thing for a meal).
And anorexia is a lot more than just hearing "you're gaining weight". In fact, personally I can say that hearing "you've lost so much weight!" motivated me more.

YOu're absolutely right when you said different diets work for different people. I just suggested what works for me without implying that it would work well with everybody. Water and fruits are not the only food I take but as what I've said earlier I eat them first before filling my plate with heavy meals. That way I can avoid overstuffing myself with foods that might be too hard for me to digest.
