that she ate too much. In response, she went straight t
o the gym and worked out for a vigorous 40 minutes at h
igh speed on the treadmill. Then she went home and crie

"There are times i have survived on just mint drops
for the whole day. I have skipped meals, avoided food,
sometimes even binged on food and purged myself afterwa
rds in guilt. I've done all this because i want to be c
onsidered thin", o says, "rama, who is actuallly not ov
erweight at all."

menstrual periods and depression. At the moment, she's
being forced to take a break from strenous exercise due
to a knee injury. She's worried this will make her put
on weight. Fiona and rama are not alone in equating thi
nness with beauty, goodness and happiness. As several f
itness instructors, nutritionists, general medical prac
titioners, endocrinologists, and psychatrists testify,

generation of young urbanised middle and uppermiddle cl
ass indian woman who are increasingly getting obsessed
with calorie counting and over-exercising in varying de
gress, and sometimes with devastating consequences. |
