I was inpatient because of anorexia but tomorrow I gotta go back to school.. :( i am so nervous to meet my class mates again because I gained so much weight and they are going to point it out (like 1/2 year ago). I dont think I can handle that.. Will it be stupid of me to make a facebook status about not commenting my body?

so most of my life I've struggled with anorexia. im not extremely thin but i am very thin.I always hear guys like thick girls.guys don't like skinny girls.i dont think thats true but i need some other opinions. because i honestly think that girls like in the picture below are really really attractive.

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?
