    I only part read about this in todays paper, lost the will to live!!! personally i think it is hogwash, there is NO WAY she has lost six/seven stone!!!! she hardly weighed much more to begin with, many many years ago i was on the verge of being anorexic, her story (words) hardly ring true to me, IMO if one finds oneself in this situation being so calculated and flippant just dosent make sense, I pulled myself out of the "mess" i was in but i will never forget that i survived on maybe half slice of toast a day and only ate "properly" when i could not get out of it because of family situations, i will never forget the mental anguish having to force my self to swallow food!!! Its very much a mental thing IMO that gets out of control, still more than twenty years later it brings tears to my eyes thinking of young girls and woman, whatever their body weight, being made to feel they dont fit in etc and that very much includes girls that are SIZE ZERO!!!! Nicola bringing VB into this story is disgusting, own your OWN SH!T Nicola!!!!!!

    This makes me so sick and disgusted that I'm kicking myself for even reading or writing about it. So eating disorders are a marketable issue now, something to 'sell' to the press to get in the papers? As a former anorexic, I hardly know where to begin. In the 20+ years since I had it, I thought we'd have come further forward than this.
    Go away, you stupid woman, and sort yourself out for your kids' sake. If you gave a damn about your poor mum and kids you'd be dealing with it. Maybe for the first time in your life, you've had to realise that it's not all about you.

    That's an insult to people who genuinely have an eating disorder. :mad:

    Why on earth is it?

    I'm presuming you're referring to the article and not responding to a poster.

    It's always been a marketable commodity. zelebs have always talked about their "anorexia hell"

    As a former sufferer too it doesn't offend me whatsoever.

    Let them do what they want to do - no skin off my nose.

    She should find a healthier way to get it. If she's not careful, messing about like that could eventually lead to a real eating disorder.

    Apparently (I don't understand how to read "Tweats") but someone in my office says that she is tweeting about the "best cupcakes"......this is quite a leap from only having coke and coffee.

    From what I remember she didn't have a pleasant word to say in the 2/3 weeks she was there and unbelievably negative.

    She was just mean, nasty and foul mouthed with ludicrous cartoon boobs. Hugely desperate for fame.

    An extremely shallow and materialistic individual, she needs to take a look in the mirror cos she really isn't all that.

    Such a pathetic waste of skin.

    Maybe if everyone ignores her she'll go away?

    That's true http://twitter.com/MrsNicolaMclean
    "laboutique2 @bvcupcakes RETWEET these are the best cupcakes u will ever taste @MrsNicolaMcLean loves them they r delicious follow this funny little man"
    her most recent tweet is
    "Just had tea and cakes at Rockys school then watched him doing an Easter egg hunt I love being a mummy"
    Yes you really do have an eating disorder don't you Nicola:rolleyes: what a pathetic human being.

    I take your point but just wish we had come a little bit further forward than this. That's why it bothers me. My issues with food are well dealt with but I actually think it's worse for people going through it now, despite improvements in so-called 'treatment'. This kind of thing doesn't really help. I'm not 'offended' as such, just sickened.

    I think for me, it's because of the 'topless' glamour shot she did to go along side of the story that cheapens anything she has said about her eating.

    :rolleyes: and the CAN train rolls on....

    "Most of the population dashed to the closest park on their lunch break to roll up their suit trousers and grab a desperate hour of sunshine. But for a lucky few, they had the entire day to luxuriate in the sudden arrival of spring sunshine. Nicola McLean and her family were fortunate enough to take full advantage of the turn in weather, and hot-footed it to their local park to soak up the sun and play with their one-year-old Striker."

    A lucky few??? As if she'd taken time off from her important job.. of eating cupcakes in whaterfaces's coffee shop and talking about her 'eating disorder' to any rag that will listen to her. :rolleyes:

    I've just read the Dailywail report and it says she's lost six stone. SIX stone? :eek: I don't see how that can be true, when she's apparently 7.5 stone now ~ that would mean she tipped the scales at 13.5 beforehand. Even during the height of her pregnancy last year, would she have piled 6 stone on? Just can't see it myself.

    I noticed she's about the same height as me, and i naturally weigh between 7.5 and 8 stone, despite eating like a horse. The most i've ever weighed is 9 stone in my early 20's (i blame that on too much booze!) and when i was weighed the day before i gave birth in my early 30's, i was only 9.75 even then. I think the 'lost six stone' claim is a bit of an exaggeration....... unless she'd had those ridiculous inflatables removed from her chest to account for it, which she clearly hasn't. :confused:

    I was about to point out the very same thing myself! Eating disorders aside I hate how celebrity weightloss is exaggerated, not just the size label on their clothes but the amount they have lost! It amazes me how they drop one stone and it amounts to four dress sizes or they drop four stone and one dress size!

    I'm anorexic and weigh just under 5 stone. I'm getting help and for this unheard of (by me) woman openly declaring she has an eating disorder without any mention of seeking help is publicity whoring and is sick and vile.

    She has not lost 6 stone. Go away and starve yourself woman if that's what you want to do but don't advertise it as though you are proud of it.

    Get help or shove off.

    Sorry - I'm a tad angry in case you hadn't guessed.:(

    I'm not surprised at all you feel angry.
    This article from the mirror sums up what it appears quite a few are thinking

    I do think she has an eating disorder, as I saw a picture of her the other day and you could count every rid - it's just her boob implants making it seem like she hasn't.

    However, I think it is disgusting how she is going round magazines saying that she has anorexia, but it's okay and she doesn't want to do anything about it because she's losing weight, and when she wants to gain weight she'll start eating again.

    Why hare her management even letting her do this, it sets a terrible example to young people.

    Also good luck mumbles, anorexia is a terrible condition and I hope you get all the help you deserve and become healthy again. :)

    but don't advertise it as though you are proud of it.

    Yet you feel the need to tell everyone how much you weigh? :confused:
