Took the words right out of my mouth. I said before in one of my posts that some girls wanted to be really thin (somebody got offended because I used "pathetically thin" but I didnt mean pathetic, I meant some of the users are teenage girls that generally want to lose way to much, far from healthy)
I wouldnt advise you to lose weight. Its purely aesthetics and unless you're really concerned about fitting into smaller sizes, you should be underweight to start with.
Sotypical did mention my post and its true. I really do want my weight back. I'm short as well, but that doesn't justify a low weight. I can't even fit size 2s because theyre big and i could slide them right off- I really don't like losing weight because I'm already healthy. I can't sacrifice my health because my intention was only to eat better and be more active. I think you shouldn't be occupied with the idea of wearing a bikini on a beach. A diet is a lifestyle- not a temporary fix-me-upper for the summer. Normally, for someone trying to reach a healthy weight, we'd all be happy for that individual if they lost. However, I can't quite cheer you on with your lost pounds because I get this vibe that you do things in a rather unhealthy manner. ( I remember you posting somewhere about eating only 500 calories and never going above 1200- are you going to eat like this for the rest of your life? Cuz if you don't, you'd gain it all back, and if you did, you'd starve to death!) I'm not offended by your posts but I wished today's society was a little less on aesthetics.
I'm really really sorry everyone if anyone finds my comments too critical. The reason being is that I used to be a teenager who felt 90lbs was the only way to go. I can't believe I thought that way (thank god I dont now!) , and I'm somewhat ashamed to admit it....
