People say I'm skinny, others are sticks and say I'm skinnier than them. But are they feeling sorry for me? Don't worry I'm not going anorexic, it's absolutely disgusting. Or bulemic, because I am extremely athletic.

Ask your doctor what weight they think you should be, if people are telling you you are skinny, then perhaps you really are, but talk to your doctor and see what they think.\n\nI shouldn't really be telling you to compare yourself to othe people, but honestly, what do other people your age and height look like?  Consider this honestly, don't just automatically start thinking you look fat!

I think sometimes it can be difficult for people who carry some more weight than you to understand why you are thinner. There seems to be a lot of tasty food around now so mabye some just don't understand this. I suppose it comes down to a kind of jealousy thing.

Nope. You are slim, but not anorexic.  I am 5'8" and at one time I weighed 104 lbs. THAT was tooo thin!

I'm not happy!  I had two kids one right after the other...my personal choice.  But now I'm stuck with all this weight!  I am happy with other things like my hair, skin tone, no wrinkles, etc.  But I'm unhappy about my weight.  I went from a 6 to a -- size and I hate it! \n\nHowever, I am working to fix it and I've gone back to my kickboxing classes and I'm beginning to lose weight.  Eventually, I can be happy with myself again.  Can't be unhappy with myself all the time now can I?

There is something very wrong, with you if you WANT to become anorexic....anorexia is a very serious disease in which you can die from. Once anorexic it will take over your entire life, and you will lose yourself within this disease. I think you wanting to be skinny is the least of your worries you have major issues with your self-esteem to deal with first. I currently have a friend right now suffering from this disease and I KNOW for a fact that she would'nt wish this illness on anyone in the world, not even her own worst enemy. I am sure you have many people in your life who love and care for you and would not want to see this illness take over your life. Anorexia is a serious, serious, condition, I pray that you will not think such things anymore! Remember that you are beautiful just the way you are and if you are truly not happy with the way you look, then I suggest you cut back on calories and work out at a normal routine.

First of all, I'd show that it's OK to be normal or even slightly heavier. Whatever happened to "normal" not being good enough? Some people anymore are so thin, THAT doesn't look healthy either. I mean like anorexically thin

I hate it with a passion...I hate being smaller because everyone thinks I am anorexic.

Shut your ignorant mouth.  You are well aware that you're not fat, but you just want to hear that don't you?  Shut up you anorexic skank.  I'm so sick of idiots on here going on about how fat they are when they weigh 97 fukking pounds.  SHUT UP.  I bet you have no friends.

That is a good question.  Regardless of how others feel.  We are not to be judgmental.  REMEMBER What goes around comes around.....  \nI wish you the best of luck.\nKeep in mind some weight gain is not because you eat to much or exercise to little it is genetic.  I have those genes in my family back ground and weight is a factor.  I have to control my food intake and watch what I eat.  Maintaining weight is hard.\nI wish you the best of luck.

yes it is bad to be anorexic. once you start, it can be very hard to stop. you don't want to be all skin and bones...it's not a good thing. please don't do that to yourself.

That's fine.  I'm 26 years old.  I'm 5'5' and I'm only 100 lbs.  I've been the same since the age of 17.  People say I'm too skinny and say I should gain wieight, but I'm healthy.  THEY ARE JEALOUS.  I have a normal appetite.  I don't like soda, fries or junk food and I love walking and biking and other sports.  99% of the time, if someone tells you crap like that, THEY ARE JEALOUS.  When my mom comments, I know it's out of concern.  If you have an eating dissorder, tell someone you are comforable talking to and get help.  But if you are healthy, you should not care about what other people say.  If they call you skin and bones, don't be offended.  Just be glad you're not fat.  Don't be offensive or rude.  Fat people have a lot harder of a time than we do... but it's true we all get crap for something... being skinny, being fat, being black, being american, being different than the person talking shit.  Don't be offended or offensive.  You'll be fine.

You're really, really bored, aren't you?  I'm rather shocked at people who are taking you seriously.  In my humble opinion, you are severely underweight.  At your height, you should not weigh less than 350.  Eat up, snookums!

Honey, (for me, that sounds really weird because I'm only 17...) you are definitely not fat.  I read some of your other questions, and I am definitely proud of you for recognizing that you have a problem (most girls are in denial.)  Please, you know that something is wrong, and I trust that you are intelligent enough to find some sort of counselor or doctor to help you break the news to your parents because they definitely need to know.  Those people will help you tell them the "right" way and give you the actual facts about being underweight and having bulimia.  I took a health class last year, and I can tell you that bulimia not only robs your body of the proper nutrients, but also ruins your esophogus and wears down the enamel on your teeth (from the stomach acid.)  Please, don't think that you are fat, and your friends would never lie to you.  I know that it's really hard to feel comfortable in your skin when the world revolves around body image and weight, which is fueled by the media.  Truthfully, only 2% of the population has the body type of super models and the skinny actors and actresses, and you would go insane if you knew what they have to do to keep their bodies that way.  Nobody is perfect, and what you see on TV is digitally enhanced.  I'm seriously not lying.  Like I and many others have said, please talk to a counselor or a doctor, they will help you get onto the right path for a healthier lifestyle.  I've been struggling with my weight (except on the opposite of you 5'3" and 180 lbs) for as long as I can remember, and I empathize with what you are feeling about being big.  You are not big.  You need to keep on telling yourself this.  Don't convince yourself, make yourself realize this fact.  Lot's of love and good luck.  p.s. contact me if you just want to talk or anything.

i don't think anyone is 100% happy with themselves. I think i'm fat, even though i'm really not. don't worry, i'm sure everyone thinks they have at least 1 imperfection.
