OT: More wacky school admin

I can see that girl turn into a 200-pound woman. 20 years from now, she’ll be on Oprah (or whoever at that time) telling us about her food ordeal.

Either that or she will turn into a 70lb woman with anorexia nervosa – which is an eating disorder, often caused by excessive control on what a person eats and how much they weigh.

Anorexia has an incidence of between 8 and 13 cases per 100,000 persons per year and an average prevalence of 0.3%. odds are, she’ll be too big. just statsitically…most of us are overweight now.

Maybe it’s where we live, but it looks much more prevalent than that. I personally know quite a few people who have eating disorders (anorexia and/or bulimia). Maybe the statistics are so low because it’s more difficult to quantify than if someone is overweight. Most people with eating disorders lie about it, so how do they get their numbers? Do they count only the ones who are so sick that the illness is beyond obvious (i.e.: they’re about to die from malnutrition, or they have heart attacks at 25, and weigh 90 pounds)?

To clarify that a bit…

An overweight person is labled “overweight” no matter if it’s from over-eating or lack of exercise, or body type (endomorphic, for example), or other reasons (certain medicines, hormones, etc.). If a person weighs more than XX pounds, they are automatically labeled “overweight” or “obese.”

With skinny people, just like overweight people, there are many possible reasons for someone not to gain weight, but only those who admit to an eating disorder or those who suffer from obvious eating disorder-related illnesses are likely to be labeled “anorexic” or “bulimic.” Many underweight people with eating disorders are very likely to not be labled as having an eating disorder, IMHO, because they can convince others that they are “naturally” skinny or that they are simply “fit.”

Also, many people who look healthy (neither overweight or underweight) have eating disorders; and if not for the eating disorder, they’d be overweight. These people would totally fly under the radar unless they chose to disclose their eating disorder to their doctors.

Mind you, I have seen plenty of “overweight” people who are very, very fit…and plenty of underweight people who were very sickly and out of shape.

The “fittest” people we know (work out for hours each day and carefully watch everything that enters their bodies) tend to have what I would consider to be very unhealthy habits. In many cases, I have yet to see any of them eat a single piece of produce, as they “eat” only protein powders and other “laboratory” foods. This, after knowing them and socializing with them for years.

Two of the “fittest” people we know have had heart attacks in their 30s and 40s, with no family history. Two others died from cancer, one in her 20s, and another in his 40s.

In contrast, we know of only one overweight person who died in her 40s from cancer. None of the other overweight people we know (and we know plenty) have had either cancer or a heart attack at an early age (before 50).

I always suggest to those who like to blame overweight people for all of society’s ills…visit a friend or family member in a chemo room if you get a chance. You’ll likely be surprised at what you see. Yes, there are older people who are overweight, but most of the young people I’ve seen are NOT overweight at all.

Just anecdotal, of course…
