someone I know just put this picture up on facebook, with the title "happy friday guys"
Harmless for the most part, but now that i'm trying to get more healthy all i can think is stop posting pictures of girls that are too thin!

hahaha im torn...part of me wants to say its attractive, part of me thinks hip bones should not jut out like that0 -
She's not too thin. I really wish people would stop posting on MFP about how they think fit women are too skinny.0
-
Her legs are far too thin in my humble opinion...0
-
Her hipbones stick out like that because she is laying down. Gravity!0

LOL0 -
Some people are just more petite with smaller frames than others. She doesn't look unhealthy.0

I guess i should clarify that this was also posted by a guy who once bragged that he "got a girl skinny by telling her she was fat" yea, that girl developed an eating disorder after he cheated on her......so yea, probably the reason the photo hits a nerve with me is the person who posted it0
-
IMHO....she is very thin. Too thin for my liking...
But she doesn't need to impress me...0 -

*applauds*0 -
she looks fine. Hip bones will do that, stick out. You know?
I too am tired of fit women being "too skinny".0 -
Being an American living in my third country so far, I can say with pretty firm certainty:
A lot (not all) of Americans seem to have a skewed perspective:
-Skinny in America is normal most elsewhere
-Normal is overweight
-Overweight is morbidly obese
Anyways, I dont understand the photo o-O can someone explain what it has to do with Friday...and what the meaning is behind it?0 -

The guy's a jerk.
From what I can see of that picture, that particular woman looks pretty healthy.
Why is it OK to tear a woman down for being "too thin"? I'm not talking anorexic, unhealthy, worried-for-your-life thin. Just thinner than the woman who's doing the tearing down.0 -
I think she looks fine - I don't think she looks too thin. Laying down does make your hip bones stick out.0
-
I think she's fine....I mean she doesn't look sickly. I personally don't like the whole hip bones sticking out thing...but I have big hips, and my hip bones are already starting to show and I'm still 60lbs over weight, so I can imagine what they will look like if I get down to 150.... Just throwing that out there.0

I agree. There is no winning or losing.0 -
I use to look like that.0

Heck, I'm ginormous and when I lay down in a similar position (3/4 sort of deal), my hipbones are pretty visible... of course, we're all built differently and my thighs,calves are more musclular. I shall never have straight looking calves like that. Hate to hear a backstory though about some poor woman being emotionally blackmailed into getting thinner. It's a shame that she may have done it in a way that wasn't healthy and in the end lead to her own internal sickness just for outer beauty. It's the whole book/book cover thing. My favorite books have the ugliest covers from real life experiences. That's just me

Pretty much. Maybe eye candy before the start of the weekend?0 -
Not too thin imho. Could you hand me a flashlight? 0

The problem (often) isn't the size of the girl, it's the mentality of the one looking at the picture. In my days of disordered eating I def found and idolized pictures of women who were TOO thin, they were anorexic, they were not fit, they were dying. There is a difference.0 -
Hard to judge from this photo. Can you post some without any clothes, so we can do a more accurate assessment?0
-
OH MY GOD HER BELLY BUTTON IS NOT AN INNY OR AN OUTTIE!!! WTF????0
-
happy friday, indeed.0

I don't think she is too thin, it is just her build. She has a very beautiful body.
I have a very large build, it would be like someone telling me I am fat for having a large build that would be very nice.

yes.... This!IMHO....she is very thin. Too thin for my liking...

Are you sure it's a 'her'? Looks like a bit of a hairy tummy .......0

A lot of women, especially ethic women, have a lot more body hair than a pale white woman. I know I am constantly plucking various body parts :laugh:
That said, I don't think she's 'too' skinny; she's skinnier than I would ever like to be, but I don't think she looks unhealthy or scary in any way.0 -

Well if they told you that they would be blind, in my humbest of opinions. You are beautiful!!!!!0
