a) I think both girls are struggling with low self-esteem and body image.
b) I believe her low self-esteem is the result of comments that she heard about her weight. The girl was also unhappy because all her skinny friends had boyfriend but she didn’t.
c) In my opinion the girl wasn’t overweight considering her height.
d) I’m sure her friends didn’t mean any harm when teasing her or they were too ignorant to realize that their negative comments and hurtful teasing badly affected the girl’s body image.
e) I feel that parents tackled their daughter’s problem the wrong way. I’m afraid that force-feeding made the situation even worse.
f) From my point of view mum’s plan with extra peanut butter didn’t work because she should have talked with her daughter first.
g) It seems so me the girl was satisfied that she managed to lose so much weight.
h) I suppose the girl’s intake of food was way too low.
i) I’m sure I would talk to my parents and ask them to help me.

1 In my opinion fast food can cause obesity but it’s not the only reason. People have eating disorders because they don’t have a positive body image, suffer from low self-esteem and have negative attitude.
2 I think you should stop worrying about your weight problem. Check with your doctor who will tell you whether you are overweight or not and advice you about your diet.
3 I feel that way too.
4 I am sure nobody is perfect. Everybody has to put up with their height or their size shoe.
5 I suppose fasting for a day or two won’t do you any harm but if you really want to lose weight you should make a plan to exercise and eat healthy and consult your doctor.
6 I think that teenage girls usually suffer from eating disorders but there are also adults but much less frequently.
7 I suppose everyone has experienced overeating at certain occasions like celebrating birthdays, Christmas dinner when there is a large amount of food on the table. But for binge eaters, overeating is regular and not occasional.
