She has always been really skinny, especially in the late 80s and early 90s. Back then, she had toothpick Shannen Doherty legs that didn’t touch. Plus when she wore those shiny catsuits, you could see all her bones. It was a bit disturbing. She didn’t look like she could have weighed more than 100 lbs. She was in desperate need of a burger or several. I remember in one of those live concert tapes, Per commented that she never ate.

In the Live-ism video Per says that she eats a lot :-) So, I think she doesn’t have or ’didn’t have an eating disorder. Some people can eat everything and are thin.

i’m so jealous!!!!!

Kiwein1 said on :

I thought he said: “She never eats”...mmh..

AURYTE said on :

In what part of LIVE-ISM does PER comment MARIE’s eating habits?

I guess, it’s only jealousy that starts all those discussions.

@charmedfan2004 And what live shows are you talking about where it was said that MARIE never ate?

pinball said on :

I don´t think that. She is just that type of human.
Iam like that, I can eat how much I want, but I can´t be much bigger

I think now Marie has gained a few pounds because of the medication shes been taking for the past 2 years or so.

Sparvogamarie said on :

M-cvk: I think you got it backwards, as Kiwein said he definitely says “she never eats.” I’ve seen her up close and she’s very thin, but she doesn’t have that horrible starved look that anorexics have and she did have a bit of a belly so she wasn’t starving. Of course I can’t answer if she’s ever had an eating disorder in her life, but in the interviews I’ve read she usually says she eats carefully and exercises a lot. It’s possible to be thin without being anorexic!!!

coyboyusa said on :

shes probably always had a thyroid problem which would explain why she’s always been so thin, it makes me wonder if thats where the cancer started

harriej said on :

In one of the videotapes she clearly says:
Ooooh, I want a Hamburger!!!
(Or something like that).
So she doesn’t have any trouble eating hamburgers etc.

She looked great (for example in the Dangerous-video), not too skinny, just perfect.

BTW. It is possible to eat a lot and still not gain weight. I have it myself too...
(I am 1.97 meters and only 75 kg, but I can eat a lot)

RoxHard said on :

Yeah... that was in the “Making of Joyride” film, on the “All the videos” DVD... (and obviously from somewhere else too).

She’s there, doing the vocals for The big L, and abruptly interupts with a yell - “oooh, hamburgers - can’t we have hamburgers?”.

No worries there, then ;-)

charmedfan2004 said on :

Celebs always lie about what they eat. The really skinny ones always say they like greasy food like burgers or fried chicken. And when they are aware that people have been commenting on their weight, they make an effort to bring up food.
If Marie does have a thyroid problem though, that would explain her thinness. She looks like a stick on tv, I can’t imagine how thin she must be in person.

agnethamaria said on :

I saw a program at Swedish television from 1991, where Roxette performed Joyride, Fading like a flower and Hotblooded. In the interview Per and Marie were asked “What is the worst thing with the other person?”. Marie answered that Per is never in time to meetings. Per answered that Marie can eat what she wants, without gaining weight....

coyboyusa said on :

i eat liek a horse too but i know i have a metabolic disorder that makes my body not retain alot of fat it could be the case with marie too :)

Sparvogamarie said on :

I have an interview with Marie where she says she never had a problem with her weight because she was always very thin and could eat what she liked, but then as she got older she needed to be careful with what she ate. Before her illness she was going to the gym 3 - 5 times a week doing cycling, jogging and boxing (boxing keeps you really thin!)

charmedfan2004 said on :

In the more recent videos from Room Service and A Thing About You, she looks almost as thin as when she was younger. She must have been eating really carefully and exercising a lot...

AURYTE said on :

In one of ROXETTE Reviews there was an interview with ROXETTE taken from South American radio interview. DJ asked what THEY would change about each other. MARIE said SHE didn’t want to change anything about PER because HE was a fine guy:):):) And PER answered that HE wanted MARIE to eat everything SHE wanted without thinking about getting fat. It was in 1999.

“I’ve seen her up close and she’s very thin, but she doesn’t have that horrible starved look that anorexics have and she did have a bit of a belly so she wasn’t starving. “

Not all the people with eating disorders has ” horrible starved look”.
Lot of people looks quite normal and they still have serious problems.

I don´t think Marie has or had eating disorders, I just mention it in general.

Kattunge said on :
