I personally believe that Nicole Ritchie's skinny act is for publicity's sake. She's a bizarre looking mediocrity who has gotten tons of magazine covers simply because she won't eat.

That said, I do believe that anorexia is a real mental disorder and it must be heartbreaking to watch someone fade away by their own doing and you cannot stop them.

I was diagnosed with anorexia in high school and I weighed 120 lbs. at 5'7". I was borderline anemic by then.

I don't know why, but I got to where I couldn't make myself eat without horrible guilt feelings. Not even a lifesaver or a mint. Once in awhile, if I got dizzy or passed out, I'd eat a sandwich. Usually when a friend would make me.

I weigh a lot more than that now that I quit smoking and had all the plumbing yanked out!

I believe Nicole is either anorexic or back on drugs.

Timely----This was the topic on Dr Phil today.

While I would like to part with 30 pounds, I cannot imagine what is swimming around inside their heads that drives them to this.
Also, I cannot imagine who would hire them and pay them obscene amounts of money. That photo looks like something out of a grade B horror movie. UUUGGGGHH....
