I know plenty of girls who are a size zero, or two on their "fat" days. They don't look sickly. I wish the general public would not automatically assume that anyone who's a zero is anorexic, or that any woman larger than an 8 is "huge".
That said, I do believe that Nicole Richie is anorexic. I'd believe that Lindsey is anorexic before I'd believe she's bulimic. I've read that most bulimics are actually at or above average body weight. That's part of the reason bulimic's have an easier time than anorexics of hiding their illness. I've had no reason to doubt it either because every bulemic I've ever known (and there's been quite a few) all seemed to be of "average" size. Not sickly.
Last night, I was watching The Secret Lives Of Women on WE. It was about eating disorders and followed an anorexic mother of two; a 19 year old anorexic who is currently an exercise bulimic; and a compulsive overeater. The 19 year old admitted to being a size 2, her mom is a DOUBLE ZERO. The girl, who said she exercises 2-3 hours a day, looked like she had no muscle at all. She was small, but it look like it was all fat. I was shocked when she admitted to being a 2. I would have said she was a size 10 easily. She had a double chin. How can you be a size two and have a double chin?
