GERI'S TEN-YEAR BULIMIA HELL
Luke Peterson
Geri bulimia hell
FORMER Spice Girl Geri Halliwell waged a decade-long battle against
bulimia - the eating disorder that plagued Princess Diana.
Geri tortured herself by gorging and then deliberately being sick even when
she was in the world's top girl group.
But in an explosive autobiography out next month the pop star reveals how
she hid her problems from Baby, Posh and Sporty.
Only Mel G, the Spice Girl she is said to have had most fights with, knew of
her terrible secret and finally convinced her to eat sensibly.
In her sensational story If Only, Geri reveals how she fought to keep her
weight down even though she was one of the sexiest women in the pop world.
The pint-sized star, now a successful solo artist, traces her eating
nightmare to the treatment her Spanish mum dished out to her as a kid.
She forced terrified Geri to swallow her own vomit if she didn't finish her
meals. And, despite once giving an anorexic 10-year-old the will to overcome
her illness, Geri could not cure herself.
A friend said: "When she threw up food she hated, such as sprouts, her
mother forced her to eat her own vomit, holding her jaws shut until she
swallowed."
Geri was often prone to outbursts which people put down to her fiery Latin
roots and which earned her the nickname Stroppy Spice.
But now it seems her tantrums were down to secret worries about her weight
and her image - despite working out to hang on to her slim figure. The
memory of her traumatic childhood exploded into bulimia in her teens.
A remark by a friend that she appeared to be gaining weight sent her into a
tail-spin of insecurity, self-loathing and terror.
From then on, Geri coped with problems by "scarfing and barfing."
Often, after retching, her mother's words: "Remember all the starving
people," would ring in her ears.
The friend added: "Hopefully Geri's disorder is now under control.
"By writing candidly she hopes young girls will be spared her torment.
"This is a 'must read' for overweight adolescent girls with an overpowering
desire to be thin."

Please forward this message to Emma.
I like Geri but to blame anorexia on this event, even though it is nasty, is
just another one of her attempts to get attention.

Combine that with a UK media source, and the "actual"
story is....one day Geri had a pizza
slice, she spit-out an anchovy on the carpet, her mother
made a joke saying "Oh Geri, it's still
good, eat it again..." So Geri called her mums bluff, and
re-ate the anchovy.
Thus, the "Mother Forcing Geri To Eat Her Vomit.."

in a desparate attempt to steal Mel C's publicity? Nobody cares if the faux
redhead prayed to the porcelain god. There are thousands, no, millions of women
worldwide who make themselves beautiful without the help of the 90's trendy
eating disorder. Keep barfing, you ho. The toilet is where a face like yours
belongs.

Yes, innocuous. Just a bandwidth-waster. Perhaps it's because, unlike a lot of
bandwidth-wasting trolls, he seems to be neither a card-carrying Libertarian nor an
underaged twerp pretending he's a kewl grown-up. Dull, artery-blocking stuff...

I really don't understand what is so bad about AOL. It is affordable, reliable,
and loaded with great features you just won't find on other ISP's. I know
elitist yuppie chic demands you try to find the most obscure ISP and log on to
rag on us AOLites, but after 4 1/2 years I have no complaints.
For that matter, what's wrong with WebTV? Although it might not be the most
advanced technology around, it allows people internet access who otherwise
couldn't afford it. I guess that cuts down on you yuppies' cyber-snob appeal or
something.

It's not AOL. It's the stereotype AOL users have generated, and
FTMP, continue to perpetuate on the Usenet :)
>It is affordable,
$19.95 a month, right? Same price as a real ISP connection.
>reliable,
Except from 7-11pm when the dialups in this area are so clogged
that you couldn't get on if your life depended on it.
>and loaded with great features you just won't find on other ISP's.
Like what?? Examples? With the exception of a convenient place to
grab warez, I can do the same or better with my normal dial-up. Perhaps
I'm missing something?
>I know elitist yuppie chic demands you try to find the most obscure ISP and

Nor do I after my year and a half with them, but I DO patronize
their services in a rather unique matter :P
>For that matter, what's wrong with WebTV?
They stole the title of Internet Idiots from the AOL'ers :)
Again, it's a question of the way WebTVers conduct themselves.
WebTV could've been the next Earthlink if it wasn't for the idiocy of their
users.
>Although it might not be the most advanced technology around,
Understatement. The internet is the fastest-evolving aspect of the
computer industry. To suggest that a box that has no room for
upgradeability (other than 2megs of ram that allow for updates NECESSARY
for browsing the web (and I wonder why this has never been hacked...it
seems to me that a tapeworm-type trojan that could take advantage of the
WebTV's ability to upgrade itself from the home office would be wildly
successful considering the average WebTV'ers "It can't happen to me! I
don't have a computer" attitude)) is going to be able to even keep up is
foolish.
Hell...in the probably 20 sites I've visted today, do you know how
many were Flash enabled? Probably half.
>it allows people internet access who otherwise couldn't afford it.
True, and in this aspect WebTV does its job well. Users had just
better hope that web programmers are sticking to ancient HTML3.2 and
JavaScript 1.0, not to mention leaving Flash, embedded fonts, etc out of
their pages.
>I guess that cuts down on you yuppies' cyber-snob appeal or something.

If you lived in the rapidly gentrifing East Side of Milwaukee and had to put up
with the ever increasing swarms of SUV drivin', DVD watchin;, Hootie and The
Blowfish listenin' dirtbags that continue to seemingly spawn down here you'd be
a bit hostile too.
