This is why ED are so dangerous. For one, the misunderstanding surrounding them is still so great. People think there are a few types, with typical behavioural profiles but actually they are so wide ranging and widespread.

Secondly, they feed on our competitive nature. They make us into two different people, us and ED us so that we might say things to our families and friends but our actions and SM behaviour might display entirely different traits. I’ve seen things in Gemma that I did (and I’m trying not to do), I’m seeing things that I saw my students do. The thing is, I (and my students) didn’t flaunt it on SM. We didn’t encourage our behaviours to those who were equally vulnerable.

She will be loving the fact that being ill makes her look like it does. She will be loving that it’s getting her praise. But deep down, she’ll be terrified that the illness stops or that she’ll no longer have the control to eat so little. She’ll be constantly trying on clothes to check that they are still hanging off her and that’s so exhausting. She’ll be checking her Instagram from previous weeks to see that there are differences. You aren’t happy in that space.

I’m torn between feeling angry at what she’s exposing Olivia and her followers to, being heartbroken to see this unfold, being insanely envious that she looks like that and finally angry that I’ve allowed myself to feel envious.
 
Hates the way she looks…

As someone who was chubby and lost weight and got super skinny, it’s obsessive and I loved to see my hip bones. I would pour over every photo knowing I looked thin but wanting to be thinner! I’m at the complete opposite end of the spectrum now (I’m obese) but hopefully I’ll find a balance!
 
All things considered Gemma is a grown woman and she can do whatever the F she decides she wants to do regarding eating and her weight... Olivia on the other hand I would really worry for, she's at an impressionable age now and Gemma is setting the worst example you could ever imagine regarding body image / food etc etc. it's actually frightening that she hasn't the self awareness to see this.

She can. But she’s also putting out what she does on the internet and people think that looking and behaving like her is normal.

It isn’t.

Does she no longer have a stoma?

No - it was reversed

No... she doesn't- she couldn't wait to get it reversed to in her words "go back to normality" so if that isn't a smack in the face to others with stomas, who can't have it reversed. What a slap in the face- but did you expect anything else from such a shallow woman?

I have one, can’t be reversed, not a snack in the face personally 🤷🏻‍♀️ best of luck to those that can as it’s not as happy clappy as some would like people to think - wish I could every single day

Thanks! Haven’t seen her in a long time. I thought it was permanent and thought she was quite a good advocate for them as she didn’t hide it. It’s a pretty life changing thing having one so if she always know it was temporary I get her saying ‘back to normality. Just a shame she has so many other body issues going on
