What is too thin in your opinion?!


Question: What is too thin in your opinion!?
In the wedding section I asked a question about a dress for my body type (I am 5'6, 103 lbs, C breast) And one girl said well that means you are REALLY THIN just like that, and something about being sickly looking!.

And its funny cause I had always thought of myself as being rather healthy and able to loose a few more pounds before being really thin!. What do you guys think!? When do you reach really thin, opposed to healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
you are thin but she is making it seem like a bad thing!. If you are being healthy, then I doubt you look "sickly"!. I think that as long as yu are healthy and you dont starve yourself, then it shouldnt matter how thin other people think you are!. ?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think when you become medically underweight as oposed to healthy is when you become too thin!. That's when you start actually doing harm to your body by not having enough fat!. The vital organs don't have enough padding at that weight (and your weight by the way) so suffer more damage than most from the impact they suffer daily!.
Healthy is so much more attractive than skinny plus you have a longer life expectancy, it's a win-win situation really!
I would actually recomend you put on a bit of weight because you are damaging your body and shortening your life by being underweight and the longer you stay that way the more harm you will do!.
Take care!. XWww@Answer-Health@Com

me!. lol! I'm too thin actually!. I'm 8th grade, I'll be 14 tommorow, and I weigh 70 lbs!.

But that's just me!. At least I'm not one of those girls who thinks they're too fat and starves themselves!. That's aweful! Not only does it make you hungry and upset, but it also doesn't work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

For me, i am not meant to be curvy, so i strive for that perfect body all the time!. But i think you would know if you were nasty thin, im sure you look fine!.

for 5'6 the recomended weight believe it or not, is actually 130 pounds!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It shouldnt matter what others say, shes making it sound as though you are ill!. If you think you are healthy then you're probably fine!.

Medically speaking though your BMI is 16!.6 which is classed as "Underweight"!. I think, just to be sure, you should go to your doctor and see if s/he thinks you are in good condition!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that's too thin for your height!. I'm 5'4'' and 145lbs which I feel I'm at a healthy weight--sure I'm trying to lose a few more pounds but nothing below 130lbs!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
