I'd second that fact, I suppose -- thought I'd be careful in what I said but you're right -- it really is self-mutilation.

I looked over that comm and I just have to slam my head against my desk multiple times.

We did a health project a year or so ago where we had to record all our daily calories. One day, I don't know why-maybe I was too busy or something, but I only ate 500 calories. I felt like shit. A body can't function on only 500 calories. Hell, when I ate less than my daily reccomended dose (1000-odd calories) I felt like shit. These girls in that community are just asking for trouble. People die from malnutrition, y'know.

People are stupid.
