Meechelle also claimed to have an eating disorder so she probably diagnosed Jin.

Jinger probably turned down tater tot casserole too many times and Michelle called it an eating disorder.

Jer let Jinge go golfing. And it wouldn't be a Jeremy post without a shout out to his homies. 🙄

This article isn’t new, but I thought it was interesting. Also, some photos.  I don’t think it was posted previously.

I'm surprised how white they are after a summer in California.  Shouldn't they be more tanned by now?  Unless they are spraying on the #50 SPF everytime they walk out the door.

If they’re smart, they are doing exactly that.

Jill made a conscious effort to make friends. She said she prayed for them, and I’ve seen her with different women and their kids, as well as a few couple things. 

I don’t see Jinger as too thin. No one ever saw her legs until fairly recently anyway.

If “naturally slim” means heavily restricting her food intake, sure.

Whether Jinger is or is not eating any of the food we see in the photos is just speculation on our part.

I agree! We don't know how much she eats and we certainly don't know that she's severely restricting her intake. She's young and slender like many women. Gravity and age will likely change that one day as it does for many people, but she does appear to have a healthy lifestyle. I am not a fan of their beliefs at all, but I think Jinger looks fine.

I was also wondering why some of you say she looks skeletal. To me she looks normally thin

She looks pretty skeletal to me....

She doesn’t have an ounce of fat on her, that’s for sure, but she’s not what I would consider skeletal.  Look up skeletal in the dictionary, and you’ll find a picture of Phillip Rodrigues.  Now he is skeletal.

Jinger is about the same size as my daughter and it's a perfectly normal weight.  If the kids go to public school when it's time, Jinger will look like 90+% of the mothers waiting for their children.  Obesity is not in for the majority of 30ish year olds in the whiter/Asian upper middle class LA suburbs.  That may sound terribly tacky, but that's how it is.  The one obese mother in the grandkids' area stands out shockingly.

She said in her book that she slept in to avoid breakfast, ate only one meal a day, and learned to move food around on her plate to make it seem like she was eating more than she was. Classic eating disorder symptoms. I don’t know if she still does these things, but she described them in the book. 🤷‍♀️

There is a HUGE middle ground between obese and extremely thin. Jessa, Jill, and Joy are certainly not obese, but they’re not underweight either. It’s not about being fashionable.

Do you really think some of that 90% aren’t severely restricting?

Not from what I've seen visiting their houses.  Pizza, bread, salad, and dessert are frequently served at gatherings with the children.  I will say they ALL work out.  They consume normal amounts and usually more than I can hold.  No one is consuming half a large pizza except for a male here and there, but two slices of pizza, a small piece of bread, a couple of cups of salad, a cup of fruit, and a bakery normal size piece of cake would be a normal meal.  

Of course, there can always be someone with an eating disorder, but I haven't seen any signs of it and I'm attuned to watching teens for eating disorders.  The children are allowed to have as much as they want and very few of them are on the heavy side of normal.  They are almost all involved in after school sports.  Oddly one of the thinnest girls doesn't do sports, but she's on the picky eating side of things.  Jinger looks like what I'm used to seeing outside the school gates at pickup or drop off time.  I'm probably less than 10 pounds heavier than she is and I'm a grandma.  

What you don't see a lot of is chips, candy, cookies, and other snack food.  Fresh fruit and vegetables are abundant as snacks though.  

My point about the one obese mother and yes there's a HUGE range of maybe 200 pounds between Jinger and this woman is that Jinger would NOT stand out and the morbidly obese woman is shocking in comparison to everyone else and very, very obviously stands out in this particular type neighborhood.

Very true and I don't know anything about Jinger really, (whispers) or care that much if she has a disorder or not.

But if we ban speculation on this site our entire Counting On forum will need to be shut down!  😅

It's what we do and how we roll.  🤷🏽‍♀️

The fact that Jinger said she moved food around her plate to avoid being detected gives me pause because I find it hard to think anyone paid any attention to what was or wasn't on any of the Duggar kids' plates. But that symptom is one you can quickly find on Google. 

Jing falls in the skinny range and may or may not have an eating disorder. I doubt Michelle's eating disorder was real, so maybe Jinger is outright lying, or maybe she went through a typical body image thing and thought dieting was a disorder.

[Zella]

FWIW, though I do have a really dysfunctional relationship with food in many ways (never as an anorexic but definitely as an overeater and binger), I used to do the food-moving-around-the-plate maneuver when I didn't like what I was being served because I wanted to GTFO away from the table. I remember my stepmom calling me out on when I was about 9 and being mystified that someone else would have thought of this highly sneaky top-secret technique that I thought was known only to me. 

I honestly don't know whether or not Jinger had an eating disorder. I'm actually willing to accept her word on it. I don't know that her having it as a teen means she has it now. I also personally don't think she looks skeletal but not everyone with an eating disorder is skeletal. I just don't really think we have enough information to know conclusively. 

I do wonder about all the times she's pictured with food but not eating, but maybe she's sick of Jeremy's photography obsession. He's shown he can't be trusted to not post unflattering pictures of people.

In the photos that have been posted publicly of Michelle as a teen, she didn't look like she had an eating disorder to me at all. She was never very thin or skeletal. She had flesh on her bones. I think Michelle is and was an attention seeker.

The "eating disorder" story emerged right around the time that the TLC spotlight was turning away from her and onto her pretty, marriageable daughters. I'd file that one away with the "missing back muscle" as one of her self-serving lies.

[ginger90]

I don’t think one can simply look at a picture and be able to diagnose an eating disorder, nor do I think the opposite can be determined.  It’s similar to when people see someone park in a handicapped parking spot and they say they don’t “look” handicapped. IMO, of course.

[GeeGolly]

With any of the Duggars its hard to know what to believe. So many of them have exaggerated and outright lied. 

I can actually see Jinger thinking she had a disorder. Its harder for me to believe its true, because eating disorders are very hard to beat and they almost always get worse over time.  I've known folks who have gone on very restrictive diets, or periods of time when they've over exercised. The difference is, they were in complete control. The decision to do this was theirs. With disorders like anorexia or bulimia, folks are compelled to not eat or to binge. Fear and anxiety are in control.

Its not say folks haven't overcome eating disorders, because many have and many do all the time. But eating disorders are very much like other chronic mental health disorders, in that most learn to manage their condition to keep it in check and/or lessen the frequency/severity of episodes. This usually takes a lot of work with professionals and most often medication. Two things I see no evidence of Jinger doing.

[Kiss my mutt]

Most women with bulimia aren’t skeletal. They’re usually at or around a normal weight which is different from anoréxica.

Yep. They can also be overweight. That's why it's problematic to just diagnose her from a picture. Even if Jinger was heavier, it wouldn't rule out an eating disorder in the same way that her being thin isn't conclusive proof she has one either.

What is worse is taking two young children who can't be vaccinated out into public needlessly and with the one who could wear a mask without one.  We can't see for sure Felicity doesn't have a mask, but have we ever seen her in one?

I was thinking the same thing. People are going to want to see the front of clothing more than the back, at least I do. Next up pictures of kids taken from the front without their heads showing cuz reasons. Nothing screams 'I want to keep my kids off social media' like using them to shill products. 

Maybe they’ll copy Michael Jackson and put weird masks on the kids 👺

Felicity wasn’t 2 yet, and they got negative comments about the fact Felicity was “wearing “ a mask. I don’t know if she’s worn one since turning 3 in July:

Looking at Felicity’s PJs it occurred to me they have not posted from the happiest place on earth. Did I miss a Disney visit?  Not that it’s a requirement but these two dimwits post every time they go to the mall.

[galaxygirl76]

No one has gifted them with tickets to Disney yet. These fools ain't paying for that themselves, though under three is free(at least at the FL parks).
