She's still painfully skinny...

My parents who'd been in show business when they met, were very unhappy with my weight as a very small child so started putting me on diets at the age of 9. The pattern continued with me into adulthood and I became aneroxic dropping to below 80 pounds (don't know what that is in stones)...stuff that should have stuck out became concaved. I would stop breathing at night and my heart also would stop. I ended up a few times in the hospital.

The problem is that you still have bone structure under that tissue layer of skin and you can't reduce the size or width of that structure unless you crush bone or remove it (I know one actress who had ribs removed to get a smaller waist).

It took a while for me to realize what I saw in the mirror, AND more importantly, that guys don't actually want to look at, much less date walking-Rigor Mortis.

I think that thing about an actress having her lower rib removed to get a smaller waist is an urban legend. At least, I've never heard of a verified case of this being done. I've most often seen this rumor referring to Cher, but it gets attached to other skinny actresses/singers as well.

ONE of the pictures may not be safe for work??

Which ones of those ghastly images are NOT grotesque and indecent?

eww...

she needs a steak...a steak that weighs more than her

WHY WONT SOMEONE GIVE HER SOMETHING TO EAT!!!

i blame society and the media

eat something girl, this isnt healthy

Rib removal is not a 'legend' or a hoax, but is actually a common practice by many cosmetic surgeons. Please refer to one site url above as an example

Don't forget the story about Marilyn Manson getting a rib removed to preform oral sex on himself.

hey my name is lily.

i am 12 years of age. i wish i was thin. i havn't eaten in 6 and a half days know. i want to be thin but how. i am in year 7. i have been on a proteen diet but it aien't working..... i want to be pretty i want boys to like me i want a boy friend i want what skinny girls my age have! i want to be thin and not having to think about what i eat but eating any thing i want and staying thin..... ]

what can i do plz help .... from lily... xox

Lily,

I just knew someone would bring Marilyn Manson up ... *fumes off* I can't even go online without hearing that story.

I NEVER want to see Alex's internet porn collection.

lily, you shouldn't be doing that. thats a misconception that if you dont eat you lose weight. many people think that. you should be happy, and if the boys dont like you because your not skinny then forget about them. theyre shallow.

i also heard of the urban legend about marylin manson having a rib removed.
not only him but Paulina rubio
and a few other celebrities...
damn urban legends

I'm sorry to say so but the picture of this skinny girl doesn't look real to me at all, and if it somebody tells me what the hell is going on with that sort hole she has between her ribs. It's just completely unnatural looking. I accept that she looks skinny but I can't imagine why her body would be deformed in that way if it had not been photoshopped.

Actually, that 'hole' as you put it is very real....I know because this is how I looked (I had this as well and worse). Things suddenly go inward and pop outward oddly when you go this far below weight levels. I suppose part of it is the musculature underneath, which is also wasting away becomes sinuous or stringy but hard.

Craig sez:
"I NEVER want to see Alex's internet porn collection."

If you clicked on the links on this item, and the ones for kitten/stiletto heels story, I think you've already seen it.

Note WHY this girl is skinny: because thats how small the clothes are that are provided for her to model. She has to fit into the clothes to keep her job, therefore, she has to be that thin.
If we ever hope to change the myth that thinner is better (which contributes to many eating disorders), fashion designers will have to start making their clothes for models and celebrities in bigger sizes. The models will then be able to achieve healthy weight and keep their jobs. Im not talking about bigger (average) sizes like 12 or 14, but realisticly thin sizes, like a 6 or 8 instead of 2, 0, or less. A woman who wears a size 6 or 8 is attractively thin but easily within a healthy weight range - and far bigger than a majority of models and actresses.

Lily, the truth is most boys don't like girls that skinny. Most people think that girls who are that skinny look gross. Just exercise and eat at least three meals a day, consisting of chicken, fish or beef with green veggies on the side. Also drink plenty of water and cut down on soda, fried food and sweets. Whether you are overweight or not, everyone should eat that way. And why do you need a boy anyways? If a guy doesn't like you for you then he's not worth your time, no matter how cute he is. You should focus on liking yourself, who gives a crap what other people think? most of the losers I went to school with are either meth addicts or on welfare. Do you really care what future meth addicts think of you? I thought not. When I was your age I had terrible acne, and boys didn't look at me, I felt really bad about myself.
When I was around 20 I met a great guy who thought I was beautiful regardless of that, and I got on acutane to help me feel better about myself. Now I hardly get pimples and I've lost weight, the healthy way. But my point is, You're too young to be caring about your weight, You should only be concerned about your health. You just need to be a kid right now, and I know you don't want to hear it and it sounds condescending, but it's the truth. I just wish that when I was your age, I had spent more time playing than wondering if people liked me, if I had known then what I know now, I would have been a happier child and things people said would have rolled off my back.

real.

Oh and to the girl who said the silliness about the "hole between the ribs"
ummmm
It's called muscle...and thats what it looks like.

That pic is 100% real.

hey dude
u look so ugly like that
oh gosh!

Ummmmm

Calling somebody a "cunt" for no reason...
Classy.

Anyhow,
I look fine, I am just small.
I was just trying to show you that the photo of that model is very real.

That's all.

Recent comments with inappropriate or foul name labels and etc. are very inappropriate anywhere, and are not appreciated by anyone.

I absolutely agree.
I'm not offended, I'm just surprised at the
moronic mentality.

Hey. Do you think a girl who is about 5'0 tall and 83-85 pounds is too thin?

depends what you want to look like.


85 at 5'0


would be a bmi of about 16.2

if thats what youre going for, no youre not in any life danger or anything lol.

nico your pics look great. asdf a bmi of 16 is just ok if you have a light build, you would look pretty skinny
