Sometimes, it really IS just that easy..
Eat a sandwich, Giuliana Rancic. See, the net is buzzing with stories about how she's 'dangerously' thin and everyone is worried, but, they can't do the body shaming thing and they get mad when someone posts, 'eat a samich'. Because that is so rude and unhelpful to someone with an eating disorder who probably has body dysmorphia issues too. It's just the height of rudeness and not understanding this poor person and their sad affliction.
Here's my deal. It's well known that she has an eating disorder, but, is she 'dangerously' thin? I am not qualified to make that claim. Get her husband to take her to a doctor, if he fears for her. If the doctor says she's in trouble, then get her some help. And you know what they're going to tell her after weeks and weeks of therapy, and thousands of dollars, to find out whyyyyy she does this? They're basically going to say, 'eat a sandwich'.
Sometimes, it IS just that simple. Eat a friggin' samich. If she really is getting dangerously thin, why doesn't her husband/family tell her? Why would you be afraid to tell someone you love, that they look like shit because they're too thin? Why would you stay with someone who wanted to do this to themselves and wouldn't even try to get help? I have never suffered from an eating disorder, but, I know what it's like not to want food and to have learn to eat again. It's tough. It really is, no matter what the problem is. It's about as pleasant as a pap smear, but, we have to have those too, right? Throw it up? That's okay. Clean up and try again. And again. You can't tell me that someone who works as hard as Giuliana, can't swallow some food if she put her mind to it. That need for control can be about all your health too. 'Eat a sandwich' can be just that. Maybe people who post that aren't as ignorant as they think.
BTW, she's 5' 9" and weighs about 98 pounds. Any dummy knows that's pushin' the line.

She looks like she needs an intervention. All the obvious signs are there, Miss Carpenter...eat a sandwich.
She's a scary shriveled freak show.
Gawd, I wish I were 5'9"!
She no longer looks just skinny. She looks like she is truly anorexic. She is gaunt, and her skin on her upper chest area looks odd, and a little gray. Not a good look for her. In the past, I have associated that slight gray color with people who are dying. I don't know what it is about it, but I have noticed it several times before.
It's a shame. I used to think she was cute or sort-of pretty, but now she is just sad. I'm concerned for her.

I think she's looking like Karen Carpenter. Look at her old pics and you can see what I mean. I am the last person who would ever skinny shame. I KNOW some people are just skinny, been there. Been told, eat a samich. (I ate like a fleet of truckers.) Rolled my eyes at 'em. But, it IS well known that Rancic has an eating disorder. Too many people have ratted her out. They always add, what a nice person she is. So, she must be. But, I believe them.
I wish I was 5'9" too. I wish I could see what's on top of my fridge.
I don't give a shit what's on top of my fridge. It only interests me when I have bookwork I need desperately to do and then it suddenly worries me and I have to climb up there.
I damn near died late 2013 and 2014. Ulcer of course and twisted small intestine just to add to the misery. Pain, OMG, and threw up all food and all drink for a long time. Month in hospital, surgery, a long time to come around. Effects thinking and everything. Even so, I didn't look like her. Still don't eat much and still puke, but WTF I'm used to it. So if I almost died and she looks worse than I did, there is a problem. Hello.
Thin or not...she is probably the most homely female on T.V. She makes Sarah Jessica Parker look like a beauty queen finalist.
Border! I had no idea you went through a similar thing, like I did. OMG, it's the worst pain, isn't it? So intense! Much worse than delivering a huge baby, who's backwards, with no drugs. I know, I can compare. It was so horrible, I still have occasional nightmares about it. And, like you, I can't eat much and still occasionally lose it and have to start over. It's rough. I feel for you because I know. I was very close to death too. My surgery was done at 4 am. That's how close I was to death. People just don't understand how bad ulcers can be. Man, if anyone has even a hint of an ulcer, get help and follow their instructions.
anon, I always called her Guilliana RANCID, because she looks like she needs a bath. She always looks dirty.
I'm 5'8 or 5'9 depending, and that's nowhere near my weight. I hope she will see a little weight can be healthy and beautiful. And she would probably feel better.
Interesting about the greyish skin, I'll half to take note about that when looking at people now.
