It is very easy to develop an eating disorder and these things dont differentiate between rich/poor, You can very quickly become obsessed with looking thin and then you start thinking that you look "fat" and it doesnt matter how many people tell you, you think you know better.... When I was 18 I was the same height as I am now (close to 5ft8in) and weighed 48Kilos, I thought I was fat.... I am now 36 and now weigh 60Kilo aussie size 10 which I think is an 8 in US, and People still tell me I am thin.. It wasnt until a friend broke down in front of me, telling me that she feared for my health that I actually listened and started eating healthy again.., It really does stuff your mind though.. (I hated being pregnant because I couldnt stop thinking about how "fat" I looked... and thats close to 17 years ago that I had my weight "problem") You just have to convince yourself that the mirror is your friend not your enemy and get past your internal imagination of your body image..... I think that Nicole Ritchie has moved into the "I see a fat person" mode when she looks in the mirror... there is no rational way of thinking....
I hope that she can work through it and put a little bit of healthy weight back onto that body...
