    There's a clip accompanying the article available at the source page.

    I am amazed by the bold move...

    WOW this she is so brave to be a model. Yes shocking but a great advertisement campaign to warn people the consequences of starving them self to be slim.
    Dear me she is only 23 , looks so old and weights only 31kg. I hope she recovers soon.

    I think anorexic/bulimic patients see other patients as unhealthy, it's just themselves that they have difficulty perceiving as "sick", they will continue to think themselves are not thin enough...

    And sometimes, eating disorder is a mental condition -- for control "freaks", when one loses control over anything but their own consumption of food, it becomes their medium of feeling "in control" -- thus not eating or eating and vomiting.

    yep, it's a psychological problem. people with eating disorders view themselves as too fat/overweight. and even when they become super skinny, they still don't see what's wrong. i feel sorry for people who become encumbered by eating disorders because it's hard to recover from them.
