What should I do?

Actually, this picture isn't the most recent. That was perhaps 10 - 15 lbs. ago. I fluctuate now between 118 lbs and 123 lbs and I like how I look. I do think my torso is very thin. My sister said skin and bones, and I do sort of agree. I can't help that I lose a lot more weight on the top than the bottom. I really need to find some upper body workouts I like. I went to my sister's cross fit class and it looked boring to me. I don't know. It's also very very expensive and I can't afford it, especially if I don't like it. The only exercise that costs me anything right now is my gym, which is $30 a month but is so convenient, I can go anytime practically. I have one less than a mile from home and locations all over I can go to no matter where I am, and I do. If I'm out or at a friend's house, I can usually find a location nearby if I want to work out. My old gym wasn't like that. My Zumba class is free (sponsored by a hospital, which is awesome) and the biking and running I do are free. I will look into some of the suggestions on this post and others. I think that'll make the difference in how I look to myself and others. My arms are so thin now that my boyfriend can put one hand around them. That's because I rarely work on them. I know it's bad, but I just can't get into strength training no matter how much I try to like it! I just have to keep trying to find the right program for me.

I do agree though it should matter more about what I think than anyone, since it's my body. I guess it just took me by surprise when they sort of ganged up on me and had been concerned and talking when I wasn't around about my weight. I know they care, but I'm not anorexic. I've just developed a healthy enjoyment of exercise and I feel like I'm eating all the time. I'm just choosing healthier options. Nothing wrong with that.

My doctor says that's normal and he doesn't think I'm too thin.

This is all the information you need.
