Why do woman need to be so skinny that it looks unhealthy?

Question

Like I find it disgusting. It dosen't hurt to eat a cheeseburger. Besides your body won't be beautiful forever once you get old and wrinkly.

a) they don't. many aren't, by choice or otherwise.

b) take it up with mass media and culture

c) appearance is not a reliable indicator of health or lifestyle.

I've looked largely the same with both and active and inactive lifestyle and without regard to what I eat. Other people gain or loose weight in a matter of days. People's bodies generally have many natural points of equilibrium that are the products of lifestyle choices, but that do not necessarily look like what you would expect.

If you are going to judge anything, I would judge choices over appearances, but even then, bodies vary pretty drastically, so your judgement may easily be incorrect.

Skinny is easier to get than athletic. Athletic is the healthiest body type, but it's harder to get than skinny. My nice was fat and now is almost anorexically skinny. We're trying to get her to be athletic, because you burn more calories sitting around if most of it is muscle than if it is fat. So if she builds up more muscle and increases her weight by about 5-10 lbs. (mostly muscle) she'll be a lot healthier and still be good on the calorie burning count.

I don't know why they like that, a full bodied woman is a lot more attractive

It's fine you if you don't like it and don't want to be skinny but to call it disgusting is quite judgmental and rude. O. o How would you feel if someone call your body type disgusting?

I am skinny and no, I don't starve myself or on some stupid diet. Some people have ectomorph body. It's genetic. You struggle to gain weight even if you don't skip meals and eat on time. It's quite a hard work to keep it in average weight ratio because my body burns fat faster because of high metabolism. Just so you know, my mum and her mum don't look wrinkly. Looks radiant and beautiful. So, stop generalising and judging.

The skinny look is overrated. Women are suppose to have some fat on our bodies especially in our reproductive years to have healthy babies. Kids and grannies are skinny because they dont need the fat on their bodies. Its some weird beauty standard to keep women skinny so they look like kids

Generally Americans have an issue with excessive food consumption, portion control, and dreadful food standards.

40% of Americans are obese and 2/3 are overweight.

That should be the focus of your concern, in my opinion.

I don't know why some of the modeling agencies do that with their models. @missindiana93 just try to be healthy, and try not to don't worry about it.

They don't have to be skinny, personally, I prefer sporty & athletic girls (fit and toned, not extremely muscular).

They do, the whole anorexic vibe is awful, just looks like the pictures from dictatorial regimes
