Michael Jackson is my ultimate thinspo

Hi, everyone.

My ideal in terms of thinness is Michael Jackson. He was so skinny and slender throughout his entire life (except for some periods when he was in recovery I guess???) There is evidence that he suffered from an eating disorder all his life. I know it's terrible, but he in this it is my ideal to which I aspire. He is so fragile, exhausted, sickly, but so beautiful and refined. Just look at him!

I always read with interest about his diet. He clearly suffered from anorexia. Are you obsessed with Michael Jackson as thinspo as much as I am? Lol

He became vegetarian in the 80s and his lowest weight was 99 lbs (I guess???). He also starved on Sundays and could spend days without eating until he's unconscious. After being admitted to rehab he seemed to gain weight but he relapsed again during the trial in 2005. His chief said that he ate nothing but smoothies and chicken with rice. His autopsy showed that his stomach was absolutely empty! Also they found ephedrine in his blood which used to lose weight btw. Some people also reported that he ate very little or flushed the rest of the food in toilet as if he wanted people to think he ate, but, he wasn't. It was also reported that he binged and purged after eating junk food. It's a rabbit hole tbh, lol.

He was one of the greatest artists of all times, he had great style, and was the best dancer I have ever seen, but with all the accusations about him being a paedo, he is not a role model to me. Sorry.
