\"anorexia\"<\/a>I was listening to the news and heard a story about the latest fashion fad–triple O jeans. Yes, you read that right OOO! I didn’t even know there was such a size. \u00a0And frankly,\u00a0that size should be in the children’s department.<\/p>\n

According to the Fox News reporter, the average waist size of someone who fits into OOO\u00a0is 22-26, the waist size of most six to eight-year-old children.<\/p>\n

How sick! \u00a0Triple O\u00a0is a threat, as it is suppose to be\u00a0the number one goal among actresses and models right now!<\/p>\n

Triple O jeans are another way to push women into unrealistic expectations for their bodies. Forget all the work the Dove Campaign has done to try and\u00a0\u00a0help women accept their bodies, aspiring to Triple O will put an end to healthy thinking about the adult female body. It infantilizes women and leads them down a dangerous health and emotional path. Triple O says, let’s throw out the window all sensibilities of health!<\/p>\n

Triple O is a revisit of the, “You can never be too thin” era.\u00a0 Scary skinny means just that–SCARY! The pictures of Triple O celebrities and models could be in my office for eating disorder treatment. \u00a0This is not fashion, this is dangerous! Shame on you Dr. Keith Ablow, a, psychiatrist who commented\u00a0on the news story, for saying\u00a0this is aspirational to women and not pointing out the dangers of eating disorders.<\/p>\n

Being that skinny is physically dangerous as one would lose so much body fat that organ damage is possible. Extremely low weight can lead to bone loss, hormonal changes, anemia and constipation just to name a few.\u00a0And the biggest concern is death!\u00a0Self-starvation and excessive weight loss to less than 85 percent of your expected body weight\u00a0is called ANOREXIA and it is a psychiatric disorder. Treatable, but the physical damage done is sometimes irreversible. People die!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So don’t fall for this as a fashion trend and starve yourself to fit into Triple O jeans. Don’t aspire to this size or you might expire! Say NO to these dangerous trends that make women lose their curves and play to some sick idea that scary skinny is somehow attractive. It isn’t. It makes you look like my patient who needs to be hospitalized.<\/p>\n

For more help from Dr. Linda Mintle<\/p>\n
