Then bring ur eating to order Blac i mean really, eating disorders should be limited to teenagers who are stil trying to find themselves and please others, i assume u're a grown woman, wat u need to please others for??? are they pleasing you???
U told me i'm trying to change wat God gave me by using certain facial moisturisers on my chin and yet you trying to change wat God gave you by stuffing/starving urself silly, stay true to ur word please.

Thats ma word and ma word is bond.

Who are u Fefee??? Who died and made you god of TVSA??????????that name is a joke....anyhow laugh all you want its a free country...just be sure that when someone asks what you laughing @ you point to yourself........

Well Cande.....as you of all people should know, this entertainment industry calls for you to change who you are and what you are just to get paid....thats why I developed an eating disorder.......to sell an "image"! Now that I got born again recently I am caught between a rock and hard place..........I hate being a diva and hate the image I potrayed coz thats not who I was...if you r disappointed??? so am I

Thanks Felfel...read mine below....I hate who I became...now I am trying to correct it and I cant...thats y I told u not to start on those things coz i personally know the damage it can do to a woman - and eating disorders know no age! all this models you see strutting their stuff can tell you its not easy to maintain size 00 without starving most of the time

Blac African
28 May 2009 08:47

Cande r u not involved in the entertainment industry? Afraid to look a "fool" coz you may have an understanding of what I mean? did you not write an article on the samas? My apologies if I assumed you to be in the entertainment inudstry. I retract my statement

28 May 2009 08:52

hhahahha, eish!! No Blac African i am not in the entertainment industry and i feel sorry for you that you have to be forced to change who you are just to get paid.. The IT industry accepts me the way i am. But if you have to do what you did just to get paid i suggest you continue doing it if you are happy there otherwise try something else that will let you be yourself.

felfel
28 May 2009 08:52

Thing is Blac there's a healthier, less expensive & safer alternative to everything, theres no need to binge & purge to maintain an image, matter of fact, people who do those things can only hide that with make up cos it takes a toll on ur skin, ur hair, nails, bones and general well being. And thats why it probably works best with models because the minute they rock that ramp they wearing another face not their own. plastered in make up, wearing fake hair, long nails, so the consequences of the ill eating don't show, but they feel them inside. You can never be healthy in that manner.

Eat right, exercise, maintain good relationships, be good to urself.

Good that you on ur right path..

Thanks Felfel...I am trying to get myself together and need all the support I need. I made myself this way and now that I have found Christ I want to so badly change my image but once you get used to throwing up and going without proper food you suffer to digest....I just wish there was a medium out there that helped people in my situation like AA

Hello Black African, so uyi modela? (eish incase you dont understand my lingo). Are you a model?

GML
28 May 2009 09:07

If the industry forced you to become skinny or obese it's your fault because you allowed the industry to dictate who or what you should be. Who are you anyway??? This is not Hollywood where you have to conform to the norms of the industry. Dont make your problems ours. Writing such stuff and expecting us to feel sorry for you...

I agree with Felfel eating disorder should be limited to teenagers who are still trying to find themselves. If you consider yourself and adult you should be able to know whats right and wrong. You chose to become the person you are, the industry didnt choose for you.

GML - thanks but as long people live people - disorders whether emotional, physical or otherwise will exist whether in SA, USA, Congo or UK. Individuals differ - you may not have an eating disorder you may suffer with something else that I or your neighbour doesnt.

as long as Television exists - adverts exist, as long as products exist - adverts exist.....models r needed -

28 May 2009 09:34

The fact of the matter is you have become someone you are not. You're not a Diva- you are ill. It's not about TV or ads or models. It's about you thinking that you're a diva when you're not.

We have beautiful bootylicious women in SA who are very successful in the industry. They never allowed themselves to be forced into something that they are not. If you really are a diva you would have your identity know because that's what diva's do.-Problems or no problems.
You are blaming/ shadowing the illness you have with this DIVA thing. Dont hide behind it just confront it sisi.

If you have to starve yourself and not eat to be a model then you are not meant to be one. The problem is when you do things that are not meant for you. Uyafosta sisi go be a presenter or something at least there they don't care how skinny you look as long as you look fabulous.

It's a good thing you found Christ. Forget the person you've become. God wants to help the real you. Let the "fake" die, don't sustain it. God will deal with what is left "the real you".

Blac African
28 May 2009 10:33

thanks mhiza...mjj are you mocking me or being serious? did Jesus not pray for strangers? I dont think he knew all those he healed, cast out demons out of or raised from the dead personally....your statement about praying for strangers is even more sad than my issue coz here you mock the very thing Jesus died for...

I say you starved yourself to this, now you have to eat yourself back to normal.

It's so funny how you keep deviating from the actual problem- It's not about MJJ's prayer- it's about you. If MJJ decides to pray for it it's his choice. You shouldnt grill him for it. Instead you should be saying
"MJJ I would really appreciate all prayers right now" Not taking him to task about it.

your statement about praying for strangers is even more sad than my issue coz here you mock the very thing Jesus died for...

What's sad is that you were not expecting these kind of responses. Were you expecting bloggers to say shame and all that? Prayer becomes more meaningful if you know who you're praying for. You need to pray and ask God to give you the willingness to eat yourself back to normal.

I am not trying to be mean but I feel like shadowing the actual problem is not gonna help you in any way

Blac African
28 May 2009 11:06

What's sad is that you were not expecting these kind of responses. Were you expecting bloggers to say shame and all that?

actuallly no - I was expecting someone to help by giving me support group numbers or numbers of good counsellors or recommend a church support group...[i noticed that there were many "christian" articles..... not mockery.....
Prayer becomes more meaningful if you know who you're praying for. really? I didn know that please give me scripture to go with that, I am learning the whole reading the bible + prayer thing and want to get some clarity on that so when I pray I get more "meaning"

I realised I had a problem thats why I wrote "3 lines" to get some help not sympathy and mockery....

Blac African
28 May 2009 11:09

mhiza - do you have any scriptures I can relate to?

Cande
28 May 2009 11:14

bloggers can be so mean some time, anyway let me google support groups that can help you BA

felfel
28 May 2009 11:15

Okay Blac you should have just said exactly wat u asking for in ur article and not be vague, thats why my first reply was "Are you crying out for help or just informing us, i wanna respond accordingly."
It helps to just be specific in ur article when you want something. Don't just write, "I suffer with a serious eating disorder " and then claim "I am a DIVA!!!" those two statements contradict each other, there's nothing divalicious about an eating disorder, thats just a sad tired case.

Otherwise nothing beats googling wat u looking for, most of the times when i reply to an article i google the info. first and anyone can do that.

Happy googling : ))

GML
28 May 2009 11:19

But your article doesnt say that. If you want help just say it.

Example:

Bloogers, I have a problem and I need help or suggestions. I am working in the i\entertainment industry and have gotten myself in a predicament. I have an eating disorder as a result of y job. I'm a model by profession and i need to maintain a certain size, this lead to me starving myself to the point where it's become a serious problem. I have become a DIVA and have allowed myself to become someone/something I am not. I suffer from Anorexia. I'm a born again Christian and this makes it difficult for me to do my job etc etc etc.

Anything along these lines would have done good. We would know that you need help and would have suggested churches and counsellors. I think you wanted to point out that you're a self proclaimed DIVA, adn that you did.

Now that DIVA has actually said what it is that she wants lets all help her out.

So come Bloggers any suggestions of support groups, churches, or counsellors please. Or AA (Anorexic Anonymous). if anyone has the number or website address
We should also please put DIVA in our prayers tonight.
