Anon or detele.

Firstly: This isn't an attention seeking thread.

I’ve had issues with my weight in the past, I use to restrict the amount of calories I consumed because not only did I feel fat, but I thought by some silly logic, becoming skinny would transform me and make me more appealing (Like I said, silly borderline stupid logic). Anyway, I thought I was past that, but I find myself binge eating and then skipping meals.

My family have always made comments about my weight, jokingly calling me anorexic (I’m not) and telling me that I’ll blow away in the wind I don’t think I’m that skinny, I think im fine, I’m happy with the way I am right now, but comments from friends and family are playing back in my head. I want to loose some weight and tone up a bit, but after hearing some of the comments from people i'm begining to think maybe i need to put on weight instead of loosing any. What do you think? I don't trust my own judgement right now, i have days when i feel like a whale and days when i think 'Ughh! thats too bony'.

Also i'm wondering, are you suppose to see your ribs? I can faintly see my ribs, is that normal? If i run my finger down my ribs, i can easily count how many bones there are without putting pressure on my skin.

Ok, enough rambling. Is this skinny/chubby/skinny-fat etc.

You have a nice body. Great hip shape, firm body.

I would no question

You have a really lovely shape, I don't think you're too skinny you like nice and healthy. I do think that if you were to loose weight you would look too skinny and you would be under weight according to BMI (although I know, BMI isn't everything!).

You have a totally gorgeous body! Don't lose anymore weight, don't gain too much either- just eat healthily and do exercise with the occasional treat here and there

I don't think you could have picked a worse place to ask about what people think about your body weight, a load of drooling teenagers and people who don't seem to understand that body mass indexes and Somatotyping are such poor indicators of health we might as well be searching for demons to exercise. In a word I would say from the information you have given you are a healthy weight. What worries me is that you are concerned about it. I would certainly go and speak with someone other that a complete stranger if this is a genuine concern.

as for the photographs. be careful about what you post on the internet, I learn't that one the hard way

You’re right, tsr probally wasn’t the best place to post this, but I needed honest opinions. Something which I can’t get anywhere else. Family and friends will just say nice things to spare my feelings but I needed the cold hard truth.

Thank you for the replies. I've recently had my weight checked and I’m 7st 1lb ... 5'3.4 which seems a little skinny to me. I was shocked when i realised, i preferred the way i looked at 8stones, but i can't bring myself to gain weight.

I don't know what’s going on in my head. I know i want to gain a little weight, but i won't allow myself to. I can't describe it. It's like i fear turning fat That in itself is my worst nightmare. Instead of gaining weight as i had intended i stopped eating. I started skipping meals and ate once a day and for some strange reason i love it. I enjoyed the feeling or being in control :| (That in itself doesn’t sit well with me when i really think about it) I guess i like waking up with a nice flat stomach and hated the little pouch you get when you eat. I know it's ridiculous but i always find myself going through this.
One week i may love the way i look body wise, and the next I’ll be striving to lose weight. It's just a vicious cycle that i need to break free of and regain some balance.

Instead of whining on an internet forum, i think the best thing i can do is purchase some healthy eating books and start cooking myself some healthy meals and exercise instead or taking the easy route and starving myself. If nothing else, it'll give me something to work towards; i don’t usually enjoy taking the easy option so by doing this i may just break free of this silly diet.

It's refreshing to finally be truthful to myself and not to sugar-coat everything in the guise that I’m in control of my diet. At the moment my diet is in control of me. In an attempt to stick to my new plan, I’m off to go do something i haven’t done in a while. I'm off to eat a full meal

It's not really skinny but you could beef up a little.

And get that white box off, goddammit.

White box is covering my modesty (or according to Coffey my penis)
