Here I am in a room with a middle aged woman giving tips on basically being anorexic. I think that's were I learned the concept of "skinny-fat" as she used to use this term often while referring to us 12-14 year olds. I watched Thin, the documentary last year. I found some of the behaviors eerily similar to both what I'd learned in modeling school and what I'd learned from my mother.
