I *think* that is the girl who has been on dr. phil and ET, she is like one of the thinest women. I dont think those are her real boobs, I just dont see her being that skeletal and still having such big/non sagging boobs. I do pray that she will get the help she needs before it is too late.

Maybe she had the boob job before she got so thin? I can't imagine she would survive surgery at this point.

I agree.

Those pictures are real and the woman's name is Melissa De Hart, I saw a few interviews of her on Entertainment Tonight. She was trying to get treatment a year or so ago, I tried googling updates on how things are with her but I keep getting 404's.

Ed. I found a recent article on her, she's a long way off from healthy IMO but she's looking better. http://www.news-press.com/apps/pbcs..../1001/ARCHIVES

Osteoporosis. Anorexics don't get enough calcium in their diets, so their spines become brittle and either curve (hence the slouch) or compress and cause shrinkage in height.

Please can someone here explain to me HOW they stay away from food, i cant even stick to a healthy eating plan - how do they ABSTAIN? (Disgusting, but i find it amazing - not in a positive way!)

There was an anorexic woman in my hometown who was pretty much like the picture above. She had to walk with a cane but she was out there everyday exercising. I doubt that she's alive anymore. It's pretty sad because she could have been 30 or so but I couldn't tell her age at all. She looked 80.

Actually that first photo is not of Melissa Dehart.

^I didn't think so!! Okay...that's all.

It's a psychological disease, a mental illness.

She giving Nicole a run for her money!

I tried googling Melissa De Hart and came accross pro ana sites, well one said it was there to scare you into not wanting to be anorexic but shows you loads of pictures of stick thin celebs, sorry but I would have thought this type of site would encourage you?

Ye most girls who want to be thinner would probably envy the fact that these celebs' hip bones are sticking out and you can count exactly how many ridges they have on there spine!
