you don't feel as if you need to gain weight because you feel inscure about yourslef, and you don't want to be even worse so you have eating disorders due to low self esteem.

Our disgusting society dictates only skinny girls get boyfriends so overweight chicks, who deserve love too, might develop a low self-esteem and feel better starving themselves to lose weight, which becomes an eating disorder or worse. Boys can suffer this too. I know; both me and my brother have been down this road and it really sucks.
