But what about her 500 pounds?

I get some strange stuff coming across my desk:
The Counseling and Testing Center at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor will hold its annual Room with a View: The Evolution of an Eating Disorder on March ...

The exhibit consists of four rooms including the Image Room, illustrating the social pressure for thinness; the Distortion Room, illustrates the progression from messages to the onset of an eating disorder; the Despair Room, shows how sufferers feel compelled to make everything in their life perfect; and the Hope Room, which provides positive affirmation regarding healing to eating disorder victims.
This is an annual event? Huh. I can't wait for its sister program, "Three Guineas: How Women Cope with Their Genetic Impulse to Shop."
