As with most 18 year old girls my weight tends to fluctuate, since i was a kid i have always been very naturally thin but obv as i hit puberty i started to gain more weight, i have never gone above 8 stone. but when im underweight i feel safer. i dont go to any special effort to lose weight but when i see a lower weight on the scales i feel relieved and happier. i have depression and anxiety so i have a feeling it could be to do with my anxiety but i dont know. being thin has always been the thing that has made me different but i feel so safe when im underweight.

    Being underweight sucks, believe me. You may feel light as a feather, move like a ninja, and all that good stuff. But having a little more meat on your bones is essential.

    there is too much pressure for women to be thin. stop watching commercials and reading magazines. see a therapist. Try to have a healthier self veiw

    Judging by your age and your story I would say that it's normal that you feel safe when you're underweight but this doesn't mean that it's healthy.

    Safe from what? Rape? Domestic abuse?
