Is it normal to be proud of becoming superskinny? :)

69, or 67 kilograms, the thinnest above anorhexic, I don't know what that equals in pounds, but I aim at being that weight. I'm currently 75.6 kilograms and still slimming down. I want to look attractive to the public eye, and superfashionable. I saw those models on television with thin curves and an exquisite body, a lot of models look just like anyone else, only superskinny but not so skinny that they'll collapse on the stage. I put myself not on a diet as such, but eating lite foods and drinking lite beverages, e.g. without the sugar, fat, butter or cream or with low salt. Instead I choose beef stroganoff with Greek yoghourt, skinny chicken and broccoli alfredo (made with milk and Greek yoghourt, not cream), and I fry burgers in water not oil, I also drink stuff with sweeteners (not sugar) and have skim milk not full cream milk in my tea and on low sugar cereal (with, perhaps, a little honey). I'm strict on myself, I starve myself (but I don't do physical exercise), I eat abstemiously (just a small handful in a bowl), and I'm slimming down fast. Is that normal?

    Don't be proud. This isn't healthy. It's not normal, which is why you felt the need to ask. There's no doubt that society is still touting the anorexic look. They only focus on the "positives", while neglecting to be honest and openly admit the negatives. It's not sexy. It's sad and disturbing.

    I used to be in the spot where you are now. I thought that I would be perfect if I were thin. I took pride in my restricted diet, my baggy ass jeans, being able to see my bones, etc.

    It was a elaborate delusion. In reality, I was using my ED to run away from and to something I wanted so hard to be/deny. In Reality, I probably looked like I was severely malnourished. I know that I looked like death, because someone told me. I was killing myself with this. I nearly died.

    Instead of slowly killing yourself, you should strive to live an hopefully long and fruitful life. One that is filled with happiness instead of misery.

      But I need to be fit, and get into shape, how does those protein shakes and muscle bars, and lifting weights sound?

        You will have to eat more calories if you want to gain muscle. You should probably ask a personal trainer or go on a muscle (body) building forum for specifics.

    I think you already know this isn't normal.

      Actually I didn't know, those classy and posh (and fancy) people in society are skinny with their cheekbones showing and the workers made fun of that by constantly saying I lost weight when I was 77 kilos, a regular butterball, and I got angry that they said how thin I am, I'm 50/50 on the surety as to whether fashion/fanciness is normal and I think it's normal.

        So you actually believe that starving yourself is normal, as is doing potential long term damage to your body so a few people will want to bang you? It isn't. You're going to destroy yourself this way, wake up.

          I don't actually believe this is normal now that you mentioned it, I'm now 65 kilos and currently lost more weight than I originally planned, to look attractive as much as fancy, it's all about looks, and my beard is long like that of King Henry VIII.

    I'm a guy and I weigh 56kg which is about 120pounds and I want to gain weight but I can't...

    67kg is pretty normal, not anorexic...

    Screw that. I'd rather be fit at a heavy weight than withering away awaiting a windy day to blow me away.

        No, actually my stomach is nearly flat. I'm strong which makes me heavy for my height and I'm ok with that. What size are your pants, you scrawny punk.

        Thanks for the food. Brat.

        • Lol. I guess measurements in levi's? Since that is the only kind of pants man should ever wear besides khakis at the occasional funeral. 30w-32l to 32w-32l depending on the type of cut of jeans. Why does the female gender look negatively upon having muscles on their bodies?

            As i suspected. I wear men's cargo pants 32×32 and haven't gotten back into my 30's yet but I will. And I'm only 5'6"...i'll leave my weight a mystery, but ya, I'm not fat. I'm proud of having muscles. Even my brothers were impressed with my biceps. Woot! Woot!

    I have just converted 67 kilograms in to pounds and it's = 147.71 pounds, are you sure you have the right numbers here?

      Yes I'm sure, that's a light weight, 190 pounds is fat.

    I didn't realize 150 pounds was considered super skinny.

      Could be if she's tall like 5'9 or above. One of my friends is 5'10 and I think she's 142. She's a size 0 so it's possible but if she's like 5'5 or something, that's not super skinny, ya.

      Maybe, she is very tall?

      Posh guys are sticks but I guess they're trying to impress their posh friends by not losing weight and still being fat, like Mr Burns said, "You're proud of this? Oh please he's the fattest man I've ever seen!".

    You can't fry something in water. By definition, frying needs some sort or fat or oil. You're simmering or boiling those burgers.

    Also it sounds like you're leading a horribly unhealthy life. Talk to a doctor and a nutritionist.

      I'm fine, however in my sleep I was dying, and I blacked out from little food, there was no heaven, hell or purgatory, dying is blacking out, so, I ate a reasonable serve of porridge with sugar and I felt better.

    I saw the models in the Oxford dictionary, the magazines and on TV and I thought being thin like them would be more attractive to look at and still I'm as thin as ever!

    If you want to be lean, go for it. Why no exercise though?
    You should eat plenty of healthy food instead of minimal tasty food.

      I eat healthy food, believe it or not, roast beef with Yorkshire puddings and vegetables (served with gravy) are healthy, trust me, that is, of course, using olive oil but not much olive oil!

      She might be scared about increasing muscle mass. Muscle weighs and can make a person look thicker. I doubt she wants it to interfere with being able to fit in those small sizes.

        Muscles are great for burning calories. More muscles means a higher metabolism all day long. Still, maybe she's more concerned with the skinny look than with her health.
        Exercise won't build noticeable muscles easily, so she shouldn't be concerned. Anyway, it's her life. If she doesn't want to exercise, so be it.
