Do you think this is too skinny?

[Homicidalheathen]

Keira has more arm muscle than I do now...not too skinny...thats one way you can tell as with women, arm muscle is usually the first thing to go.

[Homicidalheathen]

nah she isn't after souls. Just a few more crack rocks to get enough energy to finish the shoot.

[StormKnight (1)]

That looks terrible.

[Oh_My_Goth]

That looks terrible.

Yep.. I was just trying to find where people drew the line here.

That is too skinny, but I used to have that picture taped to my fridge. It helped me lose a lot of weight (I've sadly gained a lot of it back).

jebus.. give that girl three or four burgers... my gawd... she is so thin!!!

[TygerLili]

That actually makes me mad that the shot is from a modeling shoot and not a medical textbook. No one should be making money off of looking like that.

Please tell me what they were advertising so I can never buy it.

Lindsay looks way better with a little more weight on her bones. She just isn't meant to be bony.

Kiera on the other hand, was meant to be thin. Even if I wanted to, I could never have her bone/muscle structure. At a much heavier weight than what she is, my rib-cage would start to show, and it's just because we have completely different body types. I'm not saying I couldn't be WAY thinner than I am now, and I'm working on it, but I'm just saying, I don't ever delude myself into thinking that when I lose this 45-55 lbs that I want to lose, that I won't ever stop being curvy (my boobs are too big).

That last picture is really really scary!

Some people are just naturally thin. Kiera always has a healthy glow, and he body is athletically healthy, not wasted. Lindsay.. yeah. She's looking pretty scary.

This is indeed Photoshopped, thank all the gods... was part of an email with similar pics of other models. Snopes has the full set and the originals.

They're still too skinny.

Oh.. Here's one for ya.. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell Me y'all think THIS is too skinny...

Oh I know her, she was hanging from a pole by her head in my science class. Yep, way too skinny!

[pomba gira]

But you know... some of those models prolly do look like that without the 10-15lb of camera weight. That one who died a few years ago was 5'7" and weighed 88lb... altho I doubt she was strong enough to work by that point.

i just wanted to say that, in my previous post, i was just trying to make a point that statements like (paraphrased) "you can see her hip bones, gross!" is the same kind of thing as saying "look at her/his fat rolls, eww!!"

there's a huge difference between healthy-skinny, and unhealthy-skinny, but skinny itself should be just as acceptable as fat, short, tall, etc...

that's all i meant.

YEAP. FTW, sir.

It's just as ignorant to call someone too skinny (unless they are on the brink of actual skeletorism) as it is to call someone too fat. Or people who were VERY obviously obese would call me skinny and make fun of me for it years ago and that was my license to rip on them after that in any fashion I pleased about THEIR weight because I'd get fucking pissed and just let loose without giving a fuck. Sounds harsh, but when you're thin, you get REALLY sick of the hater comments VERY quick, and an eye for an eye, they verbally attacked me first and trust me when I choose I can play the verbal attack game WELL (but very rarely do I choose to ).

Mysteriously I've never had people outrightedly pick on my overweightness again since high school, but you can tell it makes a difference, men DO NOT hit on my anymore EVER. It's like...for some reason the general population has no problem ragging on thin people and yet are afraid to say anything to bigger people so bigger people are just straight up ignored. This is all in my general observation from being 220lbs and getting down to 130 lbs (a healthy weight for my size and stature, definately NOT "too thin") and then having my Playstation break causing me to gain back about 50 lbs, which I've been working on now that I can workout again. Like I said, this is all in my personal experience and observations.

It's just odd how the general population now can feel comfortable ripping on people whom are skinny (and not too thin) but are afraid to rip on bigger people now, I think that's what I'm getting at. It's interesting...human reactions and they fit into society that is.

Personally I think we'd all just be better off if we left each other alone about it! I mean unless someone is brinking on 300 lbs or 80 lbs and you're concerned about their HEALTH, then it's not really anyone's business.

Getting hit on has as much to do with confidence as it does with looks. I won't say looks don't matter as far as people hitting on you, because of course they do, but I can say that the nights when I am actually in a good mood, and I'm being outgoing and confident, I get hit on, whether I'm at 155 or over 200. If someone feels and acts shy and self-conscious and uncomfortable about how they look, that's usually more of a deterrent to people wanting to pick them up than anything to do with their actual appearance.

Sorry, I know that's off topic.

Remember me writing about the anorexic woman that destroyed her colon with laxatives, buying herself a permanent colostomy? Yeah, this is what she looked like.

I had to do a subclavian line on her (the central line catheter sits in the vein under the collarbone, runs inside it, and the tip is just a centimeter or two away from the right atrium of the heart,) for her IV nutrition. This position of line placement lasts the longest without complication and is more comfortable to the patient then other places.

The risk for going too deep and causing a pneumothorax (dropping the lung,) from the placement is bad enough in people of normal weight. As thin as this one was (see above picture,) there is so little intervening tissue between vessel and lung, I thought I was going to have to treat a pneumothorax right after placing the line (a rather painful bedside procedure.) As one the "Line Masters" (mostly us surgical residents,) of the housestaff, I nearly balked at in favor of doing something less dangerous but less durable, like a internal jugular. Did the subclavian anyway, with no complications. *whew*

Sometimes a mix of luck and skill can pay off. *shrugs*

Yes, I got called personally by other housetaff and some attendings about central line issues. If I have my computer, I can do the presentation that earned me that.

I have to agree... I got as much attention at my top weight as I do now... or when I was a size 12. People pick up on nuances of our attitude and self-concept that we don't perceive ourselves.

So true, my confidence is what people tell me they like most.
