How far have you or would you go to lose weight? Would you take laxatives? Would you try fasting? Would you take diet pills? Would you ingest a tapeworm? Would you make yourself throw up? How about taking illegal drugs? According to a survey done in the UK, one in seven women have used illicit (and very dangerous) drugs like cocaine and speed specifically for the purpose of losing weight.

This statistic is really alarming, and a sign that the emphasis needs to be taken off looks and weight in particular. But how? I think celebrities need to start setting a good example for the young women out there. I also think that the media needs to stop being so quick to point out when someone's gained a few pounds -- what do you think?
