A lot of people still stumble upon the
"Too Skinny" pictures that I have posted on the site. (Warning: one of the pictures may not be safe for work.) Andrea was one such person, and decided to send in a picture of a real-life skinny model that she once worked with to serve as a comparison. She writes:
I worked for 3 seasons at dolce&gabbanna in milan, italy and all the girl models were very skinny but we had 2 anorexic/bulimic ones, one (the one in the pic) more than the other. The thing that really got to me while working there is that the girl with the best body (thin but curvy, great breasts, ass and legs) was the one that fit into less clothes, no jeans would close or even go all the way up! but even worse than that, there was this new collection of leather/plastic skirts and trousers that we could only fit on the model whose pic i'm sending, two of the trousers we'd even have to close them between 2 people because they were so small... and whenever she had to model those ones she would stop eating for a day or two. To each their own ideas, but i saw her wasting away, partly fault of the fashion industry and i don't think that is right.
I agree that the girl in the picture is very skinny, but thankfully she's nowhere near as skinny as the models in the Too-Skinny pictures (which are all fake, by the way).

The problem is that you still have bone structure under that tissue layer of skin and you can't reduce the size or width of that structure unless you crush bone or remove it (I know one actress who had ribs removed to get a smaller waist).
It took a while for me to realize what I saw in the mirror, AND more importantly, that guys don't actually want to look at, much less date walking-Rigor Mortis.
Which ones of those ghastly images are NOT grotesque and indecent?
she needs a steak...a steak that weighs more than her
WHY WONT SOMEONE GIVE HER SOMETHING TO EAT!!!
i blame society and the media
Rib removal is not a 'legend' or a hoax, but is actually a common practice by many cosmetic surgeons. Please refer to one site url above as an example
i am 12 years of age. i wish i was thin. i havn't eaten in 6 and a half days know. i want to be thin but how. i am in year 7. i have been on a proteen diet but it aien't working..... i want to be pretty i want boys to like me i want a boy friend i want what skinny girls my age have! i want to be thin and not having to think about what i eat but eating any thing i want and staying thin..... ]

i also heard of the urban legend about marylin manson having a rib removed.
not only him but Paulina rubio
and a few other celebrities...
damn urban legends
"I NEVER want to see Alex's internet porn collection."
If you clicked on the links on this item, and the ones for kitten/stiletto heels story, I think you've already seen it.
If we ever hope to change the myth that thinner is better (which contributes to many eating disorders), fashion designers will have to start making their clothes for models and celebrities in bigger sizes. The models will then be able to achieve healthy weight and keep their jobs. Im not talking about bigger (average) sizes like 12 or 14, but realisticly thin sizes, like a 6 or 8 instead of 2, 0, or less. A woman who wears a size 6 or 8 is attractively thin but easily within a healthy weight range - and far bigger than a majority of models and actresses.
When I was around 20 I met a great guy who thought I was beautiful regardless of that, and I got on acutane to help me feel better about myself. Now I hardly get pimples and I've lost weight, the healthy way. But my point is, You're too young to be caring about your weight, You should only be concerned about your health. You just need to be a kid right now, and I know you don't want to hear it and it sounds condescending, but it's the truth. I just wish that when I was your age, I had spent more time playing than wondering if people liked me, if I had known then what I know now, I would have been a happier child and things people said would have rolled off my back.

Are you skinny like that naturally or are you doing this to yourself on purpose?
I think you need a HUGE reality check!!!
It is NOT beautiful to have ALL your bones showing through your skin......I am very surprised that your mother, whom you've spoken of on your Xanga page, hasn't stepped in to offer you any help.
I wish you well though and hopefully you get some good sense in your head!
I'm am saying this out of love honey....You do have a serious problem!
It's your body, do with as you please, as long as you're healthy, then be proud of who you are, do not let anyone change the way you think and see yourself, I think that everybody is beautiful in their own way, no matter what your size may be!
I use to be 86 pounds, I was unhealthy and unhappy, now i'm 115 and couldn't be healthy'er OR happier!
Just walk proudly, head high, if they don't like the way you look?? then F$^* THEM!
Best wishes.
Lilly sweetheart, your personality is what would make you hot. Being skinny just attracts the attention, and it might be attention you are not ready for or know how to deal with. I think it is admirable for you do so much to look good for a guy and you'll make some one very happy later.
I feel so sorry to see you like this, starving oyurself to death, yet you think it's great.It is the biggestirony of all.Isn't it enough that people make comments behind your back. And trust me, if you continue like this, you will DEFINETELY GET VERY SICK and MOST PROBABLY DIE SOON!
Please talk to somebody!
Keep seeing a doctor just in case to make sure you don't go too far though. Being sick is not sexy.
Do you do modeling in LA? I would love to sculpt you.
It's not up to me to decide if you are attractive or not. There are those that will think your are attractive and those who do not (my husband is one of the latter, but would not be rude). Attractiveness is not going to keep you alive if your body doesn't have enough support (nutrition or exercise wise) to keep the heart muscle healthy. Please remember that although Karen Carpenter did lose a lot of weight, her death was from losing heart muscle, so thin and small isn't necessarily healthy, no matter what the look.
I, for one, hope you do well whatever you choose to follow, and my opinion about your appearance isn't necessary for you to live a full and happy life.
I am twenty-three, five feet tall and 85 pounds. I excersize, I eat more than most people twice my size and I'm healthy. I danced in ballet for fourteen years. I am quite aware that I am extremely thin, I also carefuly monitor my diet to be sure that I get at least 2,500 calories a day. I want to gain weight, but for me that's just as difficult as it is for some people to lose weight. Not because of a mental disorder, but because of a very real psychical predesposition to being thin.
Please consider all possible reasons before pointing at a thin person and screaming 'anorexic!'. For those of us who actually want to gain weight, this is insulting and unecessary. What's more, for those that are genuinely in need of help, how does your berating them help them at all?
As you can see, I'm thin, but not going to break in half any time soon!
are you sure you weigh 85?
You look like you are a very healthy size....
You dont look "extremely" thin,
not in that picture, at least.
you look cute and robust and healthy.
Slim but not "skinny".
You look great,
i dont see why anyone would suggest you looked
'too thin'.
why would you want to gain weight?
You look very nice and appear to be at a good weight.
I, for one, don't thik I'm dangerously skinny. I could stand to put on a little weight, just for my own satisfaction, but I don't think there is anything wrong with how I am now. I'm very content with who I am, mind body and soul, however, there are a great number of people who have given me nasty looks, rude comments, and flat out wouldn't accept that I'm not anorexic. In today's society, you're either pressured to be skinny or ostracized for BEING skinny.
You are absolutely stunning.
Yes, in this picture you look thinner than you do in the bikini one,
probably because of the pose in that one.
however-
Your slender size suits you....
You remind me of a very young bebe neuwirth-
you look lovely and lithe.
The world is the rock and the hard place.
Youre damned if you do , damned if you dont no matter what you do or who you are....
weight is not the only area in which is shifty human beings kick eachother whether theyre up or down.
Dont let anyone make you feel un-beautiful-
for if they try,
uts merely a reflection of their own
self loathing.
Youre beautiful and slim....
some woman are just naturally that.
No-
You do not look ill and anyone who says you do is a jerk who is envious.
You look healthy and gorgeous.
Never listen to nay sayers.
I'm going crazy! On one side I want to be skinny!!! And I want to loose at least 8 pounds. But at the other side I know how bad it is for you... And I'm just 15 years old, if I would eat to less fat (eww gros!!) and drink too less milk I know that I will never grow tall... And my bones will break much easier when I'm old... But I want to be skinny! Regular diets don't work with me... I don't know what it is, but I just don't loose weight. I try to eat between 1000 and 1200 cals a day (I know, it's very much to some of you, but I can't eat less, or my parents will notice) and I exercise as much as posible. I do between 100 and 500 sit-ups a day, 100 leg exercises and some push-ups. Further I go to school by my bike and train three times a week hockey and one time tennis.
If I eat more I feel really bad, and hate myself. (I do that to if I look at the mirror). I used to throw up if I thought I ate too much, but I quit that because it's soo bad for you... I didnn't loose weigt, but I did loose 3 centimeters.. But that's way to less... Actually that's nothing..
I don't know what to do.. My parents are getting all worried and watch me all the time. What do I do???
Please give me some advise
(I'm sorry for my English, I'm not very good at it... I'm Dutch)
I agree fully with Oestaira, it is possible to be 80 pounds or 200 pounds and still be healthy and very much beautiful. I can't imagine the stress and misery you are causing yourself over 8 pounds. My advice to you is this, stop fussing over 8 pounds, eat healthy and in moderation, but eat well. Get out and walk, hike, bike, jog, play sports, go horseback riding, swimming or do volunteer work. Stop forcing yourself through 500 sit ups if you don't enjoy it. Get out and have fun, eat well and meet people and please stop worrying over your weight. We as people are all different, it the very thing that makes up beautiful. I am a 16 year old male, 6 feet 3 inches, and 130 pounds, you can see several ribs, but I eat what I want and I stay active. People like to pick on me for being so skinny, but I honestly don't care what they say, I am happy.
and no boys dont like it !
soz !
lol
love ya 😊
im size 6 and evrione at skl keeps telling mi i need to put on wait coz im too skinni as for these models normal people are soo much betta then them eniway!!
