Question:

I was wonder is beingin 5' 5" and weighing 104 pounds is to skinny?

I am going to be a junior and recently celebrated my sweet sixteen
i just want to know what you think, i know most of you don't agree with anorexia but it's my life
i am not overly skinny but i am 40 pounds lighter than i was 9 months ago
so just wondering what you think


Answers:

Even if your bone structure was small, I think 104 lbs is too thin. What happens if you get ill (flu etc) and lose another 4-5 lbs? You need alittle extra weight on your bones. Figure 3-5 lbs per inch - so you are 5 inches over 5' - you could weigh 115-125 for your size and look healthy and just as beautiful as you do at 104 and won't have to answer any questions about whether you are anorexic or not. You'll just look healthier! Good luck. p.s. I have a 16 year old daughter and understand what you are going through. Take care.
