Is it normal to like how underweight girls look?

9 Comments

Recently, I've really started to like the look of being underweight. I'll see pictures of girls on the internet that most people would consider 'too thin' 'unhealthily skinny' etc. and all I can do is envy them.

I know that they are unhealthy, but it doesn't stop me from liking the way they look.

I think that it has something to do with recent events in my school - many girls have been taken out of school due to eating disorders. I think that it may have really warped my body image.

Again, I know that these girls weights are unhealthy, and I don't think I would ever act out unhealthily to achieve such weights, but I still like them and definitely prefer them over curvy women such as Beyonce.

It leads me to feel unhappy about myself and my weight. My friends tell me I'm thin, and I know I am at a healthy weight, but I still can't help but want to be underweight and look very skinny.

Is it normal?

      That's the thing - I know that to most people it's unappealing, but for some reason I can't help but like it. Like I said, I don't think I'd ever go so far to achieve such a look, but it's always in the back of my mind.

    That's awesome. At 93 lbs and 5'4, I wish more guys liked underweight girls. Not all underweight girls are anorexic/crackheads/etc. A lot of us are just normal girls with more metabolism than we know that to do with and need love too.

    You have to realise that it's just plain unhealthy to be that way and you will run into health problems if you get like that. You have every right to 'watch your weight' if you want to and remain slim. But I worry that could get out of control from what you've said. And if it's only the extreme you're interested in attaining, then I think you'd end up going too far. And you might not realise you'd gone too far and got too thin. Eating disorders in teens (I'm guessing you're a teen as you're still in school), really upset me. I just hate to see them getting trapped in this awful place when they're so young. Eating disorders are very real and very painful for the sufferers and their friends and family. I hope you can stay on the healthy side of the fence and don't end up venturing where you think the grass is greener (it's not.) Maybe you could focus on something else to do with your image instead... perhaps if you can afford it, but a new item of clothing that you know you will enjoy wearing. It's a small thing but might be a positive tool for you right now. It's really common to be preoccupied with your image when you're young - you're definitely not alone!

    Yeah the more anorexic skeletons the better. Can't people stay away from the extremes of things? Stop eating so much that you look like a planet, and stop starving yourself because you oh cant handle life help me help me help me. Lets take the fat from fatasses and put it on the underweights. I think were on to something
