ONTD

they look old imo
i'd be more worried if she had fresh ones :(

yeah shes not. She tweeted an inside joke and everyone started calling her anorexic last night

ia, not to say that she's not allowed to defend herself but i feel like she blows up every little rumor way out of proportion

Well, cutting and all that shit is a form of attention seeking behavior. I mean, unless you do it in an area no one can see. I never understood people who cut their arms and then were surprised people asked them about it. I had a friend who cut herself in places NO ONE would see unless she was partially undressed and I didn't even know about it until I saw her in her underwear one day.

This. I worked at an ED inpatient treatment center for a long time and honestly we couldn't trust anything. We didn't even allow veganism/vegetarianism.

this.

Yeah me too. One of my friends is also a vegan and has been rediagnosed as anorexic tried to commit suicide on Saturday.

Either way, for whatever reason she's losing weight and has scars, I hope it's not for any bad reasons and that if they are, she has supportive people around her.

Exactly, I feel like everytime a star gets defensive about an ED accusation it just makes it seem so much more obvious.

I actually ended up with high cholesterol (genetic, not dietary obviously) so I used that excuse to eat low fat EVERYTHING.

That's actually true, it's easier to hide your ED by pretending you're just on a very special diet

exactly what i came here to say

Yep, my sister was a "vegan" for two years. She was probably living off of head lettuce for a bit.

excuses are so easy to come by. you manage to convince yourself that you're perfectly okay and obviously if you were sick you'd look ____ or be ____ lbs, so despite everyone around you seeing it, it's like nah. I'm fine, look at me, I eat, I'm healthy.

IDK I still delude myself I think, I know I don't eat enough and when I do it's at night or mini binges, I still purge, but I'm at a way high weight so like...clearly I'm recovered.

The media just needs to stop talking about her body. Six months ago they were all talking about how she was gaining weight/chubby. If she has an ed, it's the media's fault.

i really am allergic to fucking everything and I don't even sort of look like i need a sandwich :P

no that was like over a year ago during the divorce. They've been papped together since and she tweets him stuff like "I love you" and "Miss you"(when hes working).

I would but I can't bother. There's already a lot of stuff I can't eat

It's helped me control my seasonal allergies really well. I cut out gluten, dairy, and white sugar a month ago and I managed to stop taking allergy pills and sudafed. I've loosened up a little and if there's gluten in something that I can't control then I don't complain and just eat it, but I do notice that the next morning I'd have to blow my nose right away.

idk what you're eliminating it for, but good luck to you!

tbh it takes more than a week for anything to change lol i've been gluten free for 3 years and for any noticeable differences, it took about 2 months or so. anyways i recommend it completely, i feel amazing every day (physically and mentally). hasn't helped my skin at all as Miley is suggesting but in every other department i feel amazing :)

tbh going gluten-free (I have gluten/wheat/gliadin intolerances. among others) was a pain in the ass for the first few months, especially getting over my bread addiction. It was so worth it, though -- potatoes, quinoa, rice, etc., all make feel way, way better than bread ever did. It might take a few months before you notice a difference, though.

If you think it's something like celiac you're best to talk to your doctor first. They'll want to do the blood work and possible biopsy when you're still eating normally otherwise you can skew your results and it'll go undiagnosed. Plus for a lot of the issues from that kind of disease you're talking needing to be on the diet for a year before your system is really cleansed of everything. My Mom went on the diet after being diagnosed and she actually felt like shit the first week as her body went through withdrawl for gluten and it wasn't for a few months that she started feeling better.

i tried for a while last year but bloody hell everything yummy in life has gluten haha, so i eventually gave up. it didn't help that i was trying to go off dairy at the same time, i was going crazy. i think this time i'm going to take baby steps and try to go a week without bread.

omg do it! i havent had gluten for 3 months, and i havent been bloated or had any stomach pains, and have lost 40 pounds along with exorcising alot. it's so worth it.

i really want to, to see if it'll help with my skin disorder... but i don't know if i have the willpower :S

I did it for like 3 months last year. I lost 15 pounds (kept losing after I went back on gluten) but I went off it for different reasons and it didn't really help with that.

"SHES A CELEBRITY SHE HAS MONEY Y SHE DEPRESSED"

let's hope no one is that stupid

I used to work with a guy who said that about Kurt Cobain. He was a serious moron in general though.

it's true though, everyone knows that poor people can't be happy and rich people can't be sad.

anyone who's seen titanic knows that rich girls get depressed duh

Didn't she quit? When did she come back?

ita it just feeds her insecurities. all those people fawning on her... she needs someone to tell her that she's NOT always right and that a lot of her feelings just stem from the fact that she's a damn teenager. where is her mother?

yeah its the new ~fad diet. Also some people do apparently follow it for mental health reasons as an ~alternative medicine treatment or something.

I don't understand it myself but yes.

it's weird to me, I don't understand the recent demonization of gluten (and milk for that matter).

I have a friend who has a 10 year old with a gluten allergy and she follows the diet with him. She says she feels guilty eating things he can't and it's easier this way.

Do you mean gluten?

lol, gluten, yes. Which makes no sense, because gluten-free products are generally really high in useless carbs (like white rice, for example), so if you don't have to follow it, it's not really terribly healthy.

i'm gonna answer this as though you said gluten.

i took the test for celiac's and it was negative, but i still cut out gluten because i couldn't figure out what else would be making me sick (i tried dairy first and nothing changed) and i feel so much better. i don't really understand why, but it's working so i'm going with it.

There's a lot of stuff that's gluten free these days, but I do feel bad for people with lots of severe food allergies. My mom has a bunch of them and she has Hashimoto's disease AND she's a vegetarian, she's not allowed to eat soooo many things. That blows.

Got diagnosed celiac about a decade ago.
It's a little better than suicide.

I found out recently that I'm allergic to glucose and lactose, and it's shit.

I just want to eat all the food :(

my mate has coeliacs, it's nasty
it's mostly flare ups rather than continuous but she's so heartbroken when she can't eat cheese/pizza/bread and all sorts :|
she is a little piggy so it was like being told that they'd take her legs or something haha

That's a pretty shitty thing to say, and I get really tired of hearing it. I'm glad I'm not on the brink of death anymore, personally.

I had a friend at school who had a gluten allergy and it was SO hard for her to find something to eat in the dining halls. She'd end up just eating a hamburger patty or salad everyday. I had a hard enough time finding something to eat there without any restrictions, but at least I could eat bread.

i have a gluten intolerance and work at a market that sells only gluten free products and believe me, the things you can get that are gluten free are delicious. the only downside is that they are expensive. a loaf of regular wheat bread at the store is like 2-4 dollars where as gluten free can range from 5-9 for a loaf. :(

Ifkr??

This. And I can see ONTD cheering her on.

Gosh...the new American Dream sucks.

whats worse is her friends and family friends actually respond to fans that tweet them about this and when it comes to cutting they made up the most ridiculous excuses from it being photoshopped to they came from a bouncy castle

To me, people are conditioned to think they are entitled to a celeb's private life, despite the fact that the celeb is only a celeb for the things that people know why they are celebs like singing or acting. It's that "Well celebs don't have private lives" sort of argument. We are taught this well before we are adults through the wonderful manipulations of teen mags and whatnot that "We MUST KNOW who _____ is dating!" and whatnot. Then as we grow older we stick to that "Celebs lost the right to have a private life" sort of thing. Yes celebs will try to reach out to their fans through the media, but really it's just to keep them feeling as if they are "invested" especially when their image consultants understand that certain fans need to feel some sort of "investment". Some celebs are not like this and genuinely are friendly but still...

Some fans may actually be concerned but they are probably causing more harm than good. I can't imagine trying to stay friendly with fans through social media and constantly getting bombarded with thousands of messages about how "I need to come out of the closet", or "I need to go to rehab", and/or "I need to get therapy for my disorder" without it really starting to affect me.

Since when did fans think they were so fucking entitled to ask a complete stranger if they have an eating disorder or are cutting themselves?!

Since Celebrities and others have opened up and invited anyone and everyone into their personal thoughts/choices/decisions/life.

Facebook/Twitter/The Likes has torn down any sense of privacy for those that actively participate in those social networking sites.

AD is getting really bad with the concern trolling smdh I hope she doesn't read it
