When is a girl too skinny?

[Anonymous]

So I'm a naturally skinny person but I've always been self conscious that I look like I have an eating disorder (people sometimes say stuff like that about me), or that I just look too thin. I try to stay in in shape and not eat terrible food so I don't look I could even lift myself up. But how little is too little? I don't gain weight in fat and I'm not just going to try to eat terrible food just to try? I can't see my ribs and you can barely see my spine when I bend all the way over (that's common for a lot of people).

You sound healthy to me. Take it from someone who got slammed with eating disorder labels, too, ignorant and bitter people say stupid and cruel things.

Don't be distracted by all that negativity. If you feel healthy, are eating healthy, and doing well for yourself, you are okay. I don't need to tell you that guys will find you attractive because there are plenty who have already vouched for that statement, and what's better than hearing it from the horse's mouth?

If you're still feeling too thin, I agree with Martyfellow, do something to build muscle.

Some people just go through stages when they are really thin. Have patience, and start exercising. Some sort of weight bearing exercise, not necessarily with weights, but maybe calisthenics, just using your body's own weight, to start gaining a little muscle mass.

I'm pretty in shape compared to most people. I've been like this since I was like in the 1st grade though, so it hasn't changed all that much : /

WEight bearing exercise will tend to fill you out...just sayin:

when her knees are thicker than her thighs when standing up straight. There is a lot of variance, but this qualifies as a solid litmus test...

[Asker]

I don't think my knees are bigger than my legs. that's good

some women have a small frame, and they can be hot. I'm skinny too so I prefer it if a woman isn't too big relative to me.
