I just cant comprehend no one can take guardianship of me if I'm underweight....only if I'm dying...doesn't seem possible I can look how I want ....and cant believe I wont get introuble for an occasional drink
 
that I couldn't make my own decesions...and my no wouldn't mean no..when it comes to my body..i was sexually abused as a child...11 to 16 3 times a day..so if someone took guardianship of me for low weight..maybe they could force me in some treatment place to gain weight and b how they want me.. I was also told how to look as a kid

Guardianship of Incapacitated or Disabled Persons - FindLaw

you have to be severely disabled and unable to care for yourself before a JUDGE decides if someone can take over your life. Anorexia won't count unless you have let yourself get to the point that you are unable to care for yourself and someone can convince a JUDGE that the only way to save your life is to take away your right to die. If you want to kill yourself via anorexia you legally can.

My bigger concern is that it sounds like you want to make sure no one can stop you from killing yourself that way.
 
oh no I never want to b skinny like that..i don't want to b more than max 15 pounds underweight..i love chocolate too much lol...just people always say ur skinny and makes me feel like I'm in trouble...my husband thinks I'm beautiful...I'm just afraid if someone thinks I'm too skinny something will happen..they go to the judge saying I'm too skinny and make me look how they want.
 
that I couldn't make my own decesions...and my no wouldn't mean no..when it comes to my body..i was sexu...
I understand your fears. To me it sounds like physical sexual control over your own body is strongly linked to your weight. I think that’s a common issue with sexual trauma. In essence, the more control you have over your weight, the more you feel empowered which gives you a false sense of control in completely preventing sexual trauma. Your mind can play tricks on you, because actually the more weight you lose below normal, the increased risk you have of being hospitalized and losing freedom.

Very unlikely to end up with a guardian if you're dying. How many people have you ever heard of with a guardian? Unless you are mentally deficient and continually doing things that prove you are incapable of making decisions for your own well-being and someone cares enough to apply for a guardianship and can prove that you are totally mentally incapable there is no way the government will spend money on awarding a guardian.. Guardianship is concerned with only certain decision-making fuctions, like where you live, and decisions related to health care. Guardians will not tell you how or what to eat Guardians can't stop you doing what you want with your money either. A separate process involving money can take place if you are deemed unfit to care for yourself with your finances, it's have a financial trustee. It is separate from who is appointed guardianship.

My son has supported accommodation due to his state appointed guardian. He also has a financial trustee.

Every year the guardianship is reviewed, so it can be revoked if circumstances change.

If the person who has the guardianship shows they are capable of managing their own life in an adult, responsible way then they would have good grounds to have a guardianship revoked after a short time.

Sometimes the guardianship can be reviewed every 6 months.

All people with a stake in the person's well-being have a say at the guardianship tribunal and usually the person in question will be appointed their own legal representation to advocate for them. Their wishes are considered and weighed up at every stage of the way. Guardianship is put in place to ensure quality of life when they are unable to advocate or act for their own. For instance my son has a drug addict father who sufferers from a disordered personality. He continually gave drugs to my son which made him psychotically ill. He also denied my son care and services and my son has cognitive impairment and was suffering terrible neglect and emotionally abused (gaslighting and scapegoated) and so I spent years trying to get help and services to help me protect my young adult son. The guardianship protects my son from his highly manipulative and covertly sociopathic father.
 
so basically everyone is saying 10 to 15 pounds wont let someone get guardianship of me...and my no means no?
 
no but they could decide one day

if they don't take anorexics to court what about nancy walsh? I know its because she was going to die but I see it as her getting in trouble for how she looks

She was trying to kill herself through self harm. Anorexia. She needed guardianship to save her life.

If anyone needing help it was her.

You watched the movie and all you took from it is the fact her parents who loved her fought for guardianship of her. I think you missed the whole point of the movie.
