<p>They offered me a job when I was the deepest into my eating disorder. When they were offering me it, they specifically told me the job would depend on my “maintaining my current standard of appearance.” Kind of messed me up that with a BMI of 14 I wasn’t seen as sick, I was still seen just as maybe only slightly underweight, just enough for <em>Abercrombie heroine chic</em>. Or at least that’s how I interpreted the job offer.</p>
<p>Besides that, I guess if you treat yourself like an object, other people will too. Now I think that it’s kind of funny that they were basically telling me that if I wanted a job I couldn’t stuff my face.</p>
Much! That was just a weird blip, most of my eating issues are solved. Thanks. :)</p>
<p>And do people dress in that preppy style at all anymore? People seem to mostly dress in offshoots of the hipster branch.
…Somehow still seem to throw as much money at clothes as they did with Abercrombie though.</p>
<p>I went into abercrombie with my friend a bit back.
I was in a pretty bad mood for some reason, so I leaned against a wall as she was rummaging around and glared at everyone. Some lady came up to me and asked if i wanted to work there, gushed about how i had the perfect image.
To be noted, this was over the summer. I was 5’5 and maybe 90 pounds. ( Not anorexic or anything, we just have a hard time affording food. Now i’m up to a 100lb because of school, where i get free lunch. )
I told her no, that I already had two crappy jobs. But I always wonder about that stuff. I get approached by all those model recruitment people too. I don’t like my weight or the way I look. Brooding, dark eyes, pale, and terribly skinny? This is the image that places want to portray? Seriously?</p>
