Same. I don't see why people are seeing skinniness as ideal. Its probably because they're women and we're guys. I'm 110 and 5'8 with a minimal amount of muscle. It doesn't really feel so good.

HAVE YOU SEEEN those Victoria's Secret models. OMG... I love love love loveee their bodiesss. I would never want to be "as skinny" as them.. but I love how their shape is just great... and they can look good in anything... and are just soo sexy.

Anyone who wants my metabolism may have it. It's not terrible, but it's easy to gain weight if you tried (or if you don't try)

Although I don't like super thin women They seem too fragile .

[Joanna]

I hate how people say that those women are just photoshopped to look better... doesnt change how amazing their body is shape-wise. Id kill for a body like that (minus the flat chests) you should see what they put into their bras to make all of those AAs into B-s and C-s.

But still.. they have amazing legs and stomachs and everything @__@; Ah well.... we are not the elite xD

Its so true. If I could have my boobs and their bodies I would be sooooooooooo happy.

Women...

Your story sounds so similar to mine, but a little different.

I was always overweight as a child and when I started going through puberty I got even bigger. Now by bigger I don't really mean obese. I'm tall so I hold it pretty well (5'9). When I was about 14 I got really sick of dieting and failing, I'd been dieting since I was 7 years old. I wasn't dieting because I was fat, it's just because I'm big, like tall, wide and hippy. I remember people making comment when I was 8 'oh you've got some baby bearing hips', I didn't know what that was I just thought they were calling me fat.

So when I was 14, I went on weight watchers over the summer holidays. I lost around 2kg a week. But then something happened, I started to get more and more obsessed with the food I was putting into my body, I'd drop the points down everyday until I was having about 5 points a day. I lost around 30kgs and I was freaking skinny. The problem is I wasn't happy with that, so I kept trying to lose weight, I would run for hours a day, go to the gym for even longer and if my parents, friends or family forced any food on me, I'd eat it and throw it all up, this went on until I was around 18. One day after I binged and purged, blood came up and my heart was all fucked up. I knew I had to stop then. So I promised myself I'd never throw up again, and honest I haven't since that day. It took another year for my binging to stop though, so I'd starve, binge and miss the throwing up, this eventually caused me to gain back all the weight that I had managed to keep off for four years.

Then I felt pregnant, had an abortion and that pregnancy fucked my body so much, I put on even more weight at one stage I weighed around 100kg. I tried for months and months to starve myself, I'd always end up binging and I eventually lost and put on lost and put on, but I ended up at around 85kg. I was so unhappy with my body, I'd cry all the time, I wouldn't look in the mirror while I was brushing my hair, I would never buy any new clothes because I was like 'I'm going to lose weight, I'm going to lose weight.'. Then one day after I had starved myself for only two days, I passed out and was taken to hospital. Now when I was a teenager, I'd starve for weeks without a single issue. I realised I couldn't starve myself like that anymore without feeling like rat shit. I got so angry about it because that was my only method of weight loss.

Then after months of anger and tears. I decided I was going to eat healthy, pure and simple, not to lose weight but to counteract the other things I was doing to my body. I decided to stop focusing on weight, it was making me so upset. So I started to work out and watch what I eat. I got rid of any scales in the house to stop me from getting obsessed. I didn't weigh myself for nearly a year and a half, I'd lost 35kgs without thinking about it. I look back and can't believe what I was doing to my body. I mean if I could still do it to this day, I'd probably still do it but my body had reached it's physical limits. What really upsets me is my best friend who I can't be friends with anymore, because we have always competed with each other. I blame myself for her eating disorder, because if it wasn't for me being thin and people commenting on it all the time, she would never of thought she was fat. It's like the Paris Hilton/Nicole Richie thing. My friend still has an ED to this day.

It's really mean what this reporter said to Nicole Richie. I'm not saying it stemmed her weight loss, but honestly some people say things without thinking.

All women have to do to be "ideal" is to get skinny. Men not only have to get skinny but have to get ripped to be "ideal." Of course, being "ideal" is not necessary.

You know women, if you just eat right and exercise, you can save your teeth.

Her original post goes here.

I hate girls in general. Whenever they dont know me, they think I'm just trying to get in there pants when I compliment them. Then whenever I get to a point where I can actually make a different. They blow me off as being "biased" because I care about them. If dont say shit like that when I dont mean it. I have no obligation to tell you that your hot, and I dont think I should ever have to. If I tell you that you're hot, or sexy, or beautiful, or just skinny. Its because I mean it.

Its a lost cause though. Girls will always hate their appearance, even whenever they say that they do. Its foolish, stupid, and illogical. But thats how women work. (Watch them flame me for this post. Thats also how they work)

fact is when you hit 30 your body slows down metabolism wise

No.

Eating disorders are just plain wrong. Yes, fat girls are hideously unattractive, and will most likely get all sorts of weird diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes. But that doesn't mean you should randomly go anorexic and skip a couple of meals! As you can imagine, not only is this rather unhealthy, but it doesn't even keep the weight off! The best way to lose weight is to eat a healthy balanced diet (The average american diet is NOT a healthy balanced diet... Less fat, less protein (Atkins is a lie, sure you lose weight, but Atkins himself died of a heart attack, high protein intake is linked to cancer and heart disease) more organics and more vegetables of different colours is the way to go) and exercise regularily at moderate intensity. You shouldn't lose more than 2kg a week, as the human body can only burn fat at 2kg a week, if you lose any more weight, that aint fat you're losing, that's muscle (You know that stuff which makes the VS models soooo sexy ;P)

If you need any more convincing, eating disorders are such a turn off...

Story

That sounds terrible tbh

To ever bring yourself to the point where your body is shutting down and blood starts to appear, shit is fucked then. I'm glad you got that sorted out.

For myself I used to be fat up until I was 10 or so, and the simplest way of getting out of that... I just swam. Swam until my heart's content and now I am a healthy 170-180 lbs. I still want to hit 190-200 though. Also I'm fine with my women at the 100-130 lbs zone

I like to have a little to grab.. you know...

[Jake]

I like to have a little to grab.. you know...

Well 100 lbs at 5'2 and 130 lbs at 5'9 or something, that's enough to grab something. Imo if you really want to grab something though you're looking for a boyfriend

[Boggart]

100 pounds? that's stick thin My stick friends (like literal skin, bones and no boobs) are 105 pounds (5'2 to 5'3).

Well I don't know what to say other than I also have friends who are 100 lbs at 5'2 and have love handles. Imo if they have boobs that would just make them gross midget like.

Boobs on 5'5-5'9 ftw

Holy shit what the hell @ this thread.
Maybe we should work on our self-esteem a little bit before we work on our bodies, eh ladies?

I don't need convincing... my entire point was that I saw what I was doing to myself and realized that I was wrong.

What is your definition of "fat" exactly? Do you really think that all "fat" girls are hideously unattractive, Because I find that there are some obese women who hold their shape well and take care of themselves who are beautiful.

Is 160lbs fat or are you talking about obese people ... or morbidly obese people? "Technically" for my height, sex, and other stuff I am "overweight." I did some research and my BMI is deff over the ideal body mass index for people like me.

I'm so glad I never got that severe. If I hadn't moved out of my house a couple years ago I might have been like that.

Is it a mere coincidence that the same people concerned about their weight are the same people who posted their McDonalds adventures and cravings on another?

You say this as if these "people" go to McDonald's all the time. My adventures happen like once a month... maybe. Its not a crime to eat McDonald's every once in a while.

Dont get you tired when she says "I'm fat"????

[laraboots]

Some people don't know why they are doing it. In my case it really just happened, I never planned it and certainly never wanted it. In the end I wasn't even sure why I was being a wanker it really wasn't about being fat it was about habit, control and emotions more then anything. I was lucky I stopped, some girls can't, they have issues with food and body image for so long it destroys them.

It's fucking stupid saying eating disorders are stupid, that's like saying 'oh depression is stupid' and 'bi polar is stupid'. Yeah eating disorders aren't a nice thing, but some women and men have serious serious MENTAL and hormonal issues. It was first documented in 17th century and coined in the 19th century. Though it is mostly to do with culture and body image, there are hormonal causes behind it. It's an illness not a choice, notwithstanding all those stupid bloody pro-anna websites.

I agree, when it was happening to me I didn't even know what I was doing to myself. I just thought that I was sick all the time. It took a lot of introspection for me to even realize what I was doing to myself. Anorexia Nervosa is a psychological disorder*.... it is not something that a lot of people choose to have. Except in the cases that larabots mentioned, where idiots romanticize eating disorders like they are the solution to everyone's weight problems.

We agree once again miss lara.

Freaking culture...

I think I had an eating disorder; "Orthorexia" which is an obsession with eating healthy. (it isn't a documented disorder, YET - it may never be one, but I think it exists) This stemmed from my want to get in shape as fast as possible, for tennis and for vanity. I think I tried being ano for a day (the excuse was a "cleanse" because I binge ate) Yeah... I don't know how you girls do it. I was all light headed and shyt after less than a day. And I dreamt of food. Like SO much food. I have NEVER (well...) dreamt of food in that way before, EVER. It sucked. The want to be attractive and fit the "skinny" ideology sucksss. Luckily I never wanted to be skinny, just in shape. I personally think bone thin people aren't that attractive, but that i s just me.

I wonder what % of the guys who develop anorexia are gay.... I heard some just want to get in shape faster or something, not too sure.

[Andy]

I'd say fat is pretty much any woman who weighs over 180lbs (81kg) is fat, past this stage, their gains in cup size is outweighed by their gains everywhere else. I'm not saying fat women aren't good people, they are just unattractive, much in the same way that smokers and anorexics are unattractive.
