Thin = beautiful?
i've become obsessed with staying thin, it consumes me, i'm in this ridiculous starve/binge cycle and its also killing my body. i can't explain it, i just feel this huge pressure to be thin, like nothing else matters, and that everyone would hate me if i wasn't, because it seems that way to me. i know its probably all in my head but i can't help it, i'm either obsessed with eating or not eating and yo yo diet like a loon to maintain a bmi of 15. is it all in my head? could i have my natural bmi of 18 and still be attractive. argh can someone please tell me there is more to life than being thin and that you don't have to be like that to be attractive, i just want to hear it
No thin does not equal beautiful I like healthy looking people
Starvation gives people bad breath
?
Please don't feel any pressure to be thin. You need to get treatment because your bmi is too low. I am overweight and some people consider me cute. I'm not saying it is healthy to be overweight because it's not but it's not healthy to be underweight either. You have to realize that the images you see in the media aren't real what people go through to be model thin isn't worth it.

Thin is not beautiful and I'm not just saying that because you want to hear it.
The fashion and therefore celebrity industry is mainly gay men who want their models to look like, that's right, small boys!
If you ask any real men, of which I most certainly include myself in that range, they'll tell you they like their women with a bit of meat on them. No guy wants to date a stick. We'd much rather have Keira Knightly than Posh Spice!

i can't sorry. but then again i have an ed and believe that i have to be thin to acheive anything x

Thin deffinately doesn't equal beautfiul. Too thin is as much as a turn off as too large. Curvy is better,.
Apart from the health risks you might suffer from, where's the fun in worrying all the time. Any decent man will go for the personallity.
Just be you.

thin doesnt look beautiful i find if a woman is too this shes just disgusting i like a woman with a bit of weight but not too much. i advice you to let it go and youl feel alot better with yourself and men will find you more attractive
angelheart
You need a week with my sis, she will use you to get thin, unfortunately.

There are a lot of beautiful, curvy girls. Obesity is not nice, but neither is bony. My girlfriend is really skinny, but I find Dawn French to be quite attractive.
You are absolutely right about this all being in your head, I blame the mass media and our culture. You can turn it around, seek help with an accredited hypnotherapist, speak to your GP to refer you to someone.
You have taken the most important step of acknowledging the problem, you should be proud, just keep walking and focus on your goal. Remember, its not about being thin, its not even about being beautiful, its about being healthy and happy. That should be your goal.

First off...STOP worrying what OTHER people say and think. They will NOT be the ones to help you when you're ill. Secondly...get professional help for both emotional reasons and physical health. Then get a personal trainer to design a healthy exercise and nutritional plan for you. Many larger women (and men) have gone on to be successful and are quite attractive...Delta Burke, Queen Latifah, Fantasia, Kathy Bates...it's great to be fit, but don't destroy your health trying to be bony
Kristina!
your'e beautiful either way america has made it so that most young people follow and it's the presure to be thin thin isnt beautiful and people will like you thin or thick it doesnt matter at all to people

I've never found very thin girls attractive. skin and bone put quite simply is gross.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, thin does not mean beautiful. I live in Africa and believe me this is where most beautiful women are and majority of them do not care about being thin.
They eat well and look good naturally. As long as you are not overweight, you are fine by me.
I think you are beautiful in your natural state
CrazyDude
Come on, too skinny is unhealthy. Dun think that skinny is attractive, many men do not like women who are too skinny. I think u should feel proud of your body. Never feel pressured to be thin, continue to have a balanced diet and exercise to keep fit. Starving urself is harmful.

you should become thin but not too much. it could damage your helth. visit a doctor for some advice

In my eyes thin is not beautiful, its quite repulsive

There is more to life than being thin. Those girls you see that you think are perfect are worse off than you. They are not perfect. If you focus on having fun and enjoying life you will be happier than you are now.
I'm not a counselor for eating disorders, but I can try to help.
Remember that there are tons of people out there that are happy, healthy, and pretty at a normal weight. You don't have to be super fat, but just eat healthy so that you won't binge.

slender is good, but not thin. i like my woman to have curves too.
jiltedjohn71
You need to seek professional medical help. Stop doing that and have some fish and chips. Too thin = not attractive

A bmi of 15 ,you need some help honey that is way too low 19 to 21 would be healthier, underweight and thin does not equal healthy or beautiful, take it from one who knows I too have had an unhealthy obsession with staying thin and I know where your coming from but I have it under control now,my bmi is 20 my weight is on the low side of my range but I look infinitely better than when under weight all my friends tell me this.Good luck with trying to control it.

good heart = beautiful :)
Miss M
A bmi of 15?? You are unhealthy underweight! You are probably so caught up in comparing yourself to others (be it celebrities or what not) You need to start concentrating on being healthy.. You might want to talk to a doctor about this as you could have anorexia. It is good you realise you have a problem though!
My BMI is 20 and am considered a healthy weight for my height. and **** anyone who doesnt think i look hot! haha
Bliss.
You can find a number of questions here, hundreds of people around you, magazines, TV, the internet, everything telling you what you ought to know. I'm not-so-thin and I have an awesome life. A boyfriend too! :)
beez
its not worth it. your probably too skinny now and that dosent look good. eat my little darlin eat.

You've said it. You don't need to be thin to be beautiful. Work on the inside of you, I mean your spirit, your character and people will notice how beautiful you are whatever your physical size or shape.
Isn't it good?
Thin isn't beautiful, healthy is beautiful.
If you're thin, but overly thin...that's not beautiful.
But I gaurentee if you're healthy, whether it be thin, or if you have some meat on you, if you're healthy, then most people will think you're beautiful.

SLENDER (which is different from "thin") is a good target to have. "Thin" is not good... ok?

Perhaps the answer to this is in the response to this post. In just 10 minutes 28 people felt they had to answer. This is a reflection on society, I feel, in which we have become obsessed with weight, and polarised by it too.
As an expert in eating disorders, and many years of treating children, adolescents and women with the disorder, I can say truly I have yet to meet someone who strives to be thin, and is happy. It is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, highly desirable but never achievable. Some sadly, have paid the ultimate sacrifice, and remained, even dying in hospital, adamant they were not thin and not happy.
I'm not going to lecture you, because you have already realised the double edge sword on which you sit: what you desire and the price you must pay to obtain it.
If you want to beat this, if you want to find you inner beauty and put these dreadful thoughts behind you, please seek some professional help. You are already on the road to recovery by posting your frustrations on here, find someone to help you build on that and fight your thoughts.
