France recently passed a bill that banned models with a BMI of 18 or less. A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 25. Lawmakers say this is part of an ongoing effort to curb anorexia and promote a healthy work environment for models. The second aspect of the law also makes it illegal to alter pictures without labeling the image as altered. Thinspiration websites have also been banned. The law defines these as any site that will "seek excessive thinness by encouraging eating restrictions for a prolonged period of time, resulting in risk of mortality or damage to health".

The law carries heavy penalties including fines that range from a maximum of 75,000 euros and six month in jail for working with a low BMI and up to 100,000 euros for violating the website restrictions.

Officials say they understand that thinness does not automatically mean someone is anorexic and all anorexics are not thin. It’s not like anyone can just look at someone and *know* they’re anorexic after all. But they still think the law will have a positive impact.

What do you think? Will this type of legislation help move the fashion industry in a more positive direction?

I'm seriously starting to doubt, at my age, that there's a guy out there for me.

First serious relationship lasted 6 years. He ended up cheating on me for our last two years together and I kept believing he'd stop. Second serious relationship the guy is afraid of commitment, $70,000 in medical debt (don't even know how much school debt) and no intention of trying to get out of debt. Third serious relationship (current): He's been a bachelor for the last 5 years. It never occurred to him that asking me to be his girlfriend meant he shouldn't get pics from old fuck buddies and he should get off of dating websites. Also he and his buddies enjoy frequenting strip clubs, where he enjoys more than looking.

Am I asking too much from a significant other?

1) He's financially stable: He can pay his own way not mine.

2) Understands monogamy: Anytime you are interacting with another person beyond friendship is unacceptable. Sending/receiving pics and having naked people on you is considered cheating to me.

3) Yea you must look good. I try to maintain a healthy weight and look good. I'm no model and I don't expect that from my guy.

4) And obviously we must want the same things in the long run (ie. religion, family, living)

I'm starting to think I should be a crazy cat lady because it would be easier than trying to find 'him'. I'm still with the current guy but having serious doubts, obviously I'm not enough. He agreed to cut back on the strip clubs, stopped talking to his fuck buddy and quit the dating website, but still? Did I really have to ask you to stop these things. I thought him asking me to be in a relationship meant that these things would stop.

What should I do?
