Exactly, anorexics never see how skinny they are, even if they're rail thin they're still going to think they're fat. And that just makes me think how much the ideals of beauty have changed. I mean, the ancient Greeks, for example, used to think that the heavier a woman is, the better...and they had a good point, too, cause it's easier to bear children when you have wider hips. What on earth made it evolve into the exact opposite?
Being plump was attractive because that was a sign of wealth. Today, the poor people in the western world tend to be obese and the extremely wealthy are unhealthily thin.
