Going by my 20 year old son's "girl" friends, it seems the skinnier the better in that age group. Ironically my son doesn't find stick thin girls attractive at all..

This seems to be a presumption and that the OP's issue goes beyond boys, and may not even be about boys.

@Fruit_lover2 , it sounds to me like you need to seek in real life help to deal with your relationship with yourself and food because your are at an unhealthy BMI already wanting to lose more weight, which will take you to an unhealthier BMI.

Yeah maybe, but she's been asked multiple times why she wants to get down to such a low weight, and she cant answer it.
I hope it's not because of the media stereotypes, or for boys etc. etc. So all we are left with are assumptions

Regardless of why, the fact remains that it is happening. Asking why isn't helping, and might exacerbate the problem. OP needs to get help with her unhealthy body image and relationship with food.
