The Skinny

Simon must of stepped on a trap because the next thing we see is Simon scooped up by a net hanging from a tree. “ HELP ME!” “ We can’t stay from him. We’ll dig his grave later. We have to keep going.” says Grayson. I know this is a bad decision but it's either run or die. “I’m sorry.” I mouth to Simon. “NOOO!” screams Simon. We ran off into the forest. Tears ran down my face and I felt as if heart was in my throat, but I still run. We ran past some boulders, past the skinny kid’s grave, then we see a tree with branches low enough for us to climb.

A large smile spreads across our faces as we run as fast as we could passing signs that said Mulberry 10 miles, Mulberry 5 miles. We come to a stop. There it was our city…

The way girls bodies are shaped has always been a vast discussion topic because of what society thinks, or what a "dress code" limits all women too.

After watching the video, “The Complete SKinny on Obesity”, I was able to narrow down the eight points to the three main points I thought were the most interesting. The first point I’ll talk about is called Hunger and Hormones - A Vicious Cycle. When we eat, leptin is the hormone that tells our brain that we have had enough. It is what is suppose to limit our intake of food. Leptin is from fat cells therefore when someone is obese, they have high levels of leptin. When diabetics take insulin, it…

Skinny. Most girls see it as a goal: if you are skinny you are beautiful. People saw me as the skinny girl who did not have to worry about what she ate; what they failed to notice was that food did not appeal to me, and I had a difficult time consuming it. Having lost all color in my skin, I was given a new nickname: Snow White. What they did not know about this Snow White was that she did not eat apples. She barely ate anything. Before leaving work to begin my first day in college, I was…

Coming home finding a book called Skinny Bitch by Kim Barnouin, reading cover to cover I found the answer to my weight problems, the word vegetarian popped out immediately. Researching online finding a YouTuber named Freelee the Banana Girl, explaining in each of her…

Many interesting facts were brought up in the short video “The Skinny on Obesity.” The first was that many people believe that eating low fat foods or reduced calorie foods would help them lose weight. This is incorrect because the fat or calories that are now missing must have been replaced with something else. For example, the film mentioned how Snackwells have a regular sandwich cookie and a low fat sandwich cookie. Both have the same amount of calories though; therefore that fat that has…

extremely thin most likely due to eating disorders. They have to be relatively tall. But most of all they have to be beautiful. The big question is how does society determine what the perfect body type is? Is being that skinny worth possibly losing your life?
