    All of your sample women have wildly different body types than I do (and the typical woman). These ladies mostly have long torsos, slim hips when many of us are pears and carry more weight below the waist. Depending on your body shape, too skinny can look wildly different. People with straighter shapes can usually be very lean with out appearing too skinny. But your typical pear shape often gets too skinny up top far before her hips and thighs are slim. An apple shape has the polar opposite problem.

    Can I add something?

    I've noticed a lot of you are commenting on which body you'd wish to have and that you can only dream.. It is possible ladies and if you stick to it then you can get there.

    Who knows these girls could have been over 200/300lbs in the past (I know they're young so maybe not these exact people) but it has been done before!

    Bigger girls then all of you have become smaller.. Don't dismiss something because you think it's only a dream.

    I know if you all really really want it and set your mind to it you can all have a body you've always wanted and deserved :)

    Oh and I'm definitely not claiming to be excluded from this generalized group of women who judge. I've become even more judgmental since I lost weight. I think previously it was "much bigger than me, bigger than me, my size, smaller than me, disgustingly small" whereas now I can probably guess a persons weight +/- 10 lbs because I'm so much more weight aware.

    I don't think we're judging really - we're saying what we like to be/see. Judging would be making assumptions based on what we're seeing - e.g. that No 6 must be starving herself to be that thin - she may naturally like that. Don't be too hard on yourself here... it is natural for us to compare ourselves to others and it's not wrong so long as we're not making assumptions. :smile:

    I think it depends on body types, I think 3 and 6 because I know my thighs would never be that skinny so I don't aim for that. But some girls are naturally skinny so may aim for that :)

    Dont care about the women you posted, not interested in if they are 'too" skinny or fat. I am over constantly holding other women up for judgement on what may be a genetic body type and saying they fall short. Lets look at why people are saying this to you which is much more to the point.

    First of all congrats on quitting smoking that is a huge accomplishment. You started off with a desire to not just lose weight but be healthy.
    I think somewhere down the track you have started losing track of the health part.
    Read your profile and took the time to go over your diary right back to the begining of Feb. Often you are netting below 1200. Some days have little going for them nutritionally. Maybe family and friends are picking up on your concerning low calorie lifestyle.

    Eat more - lift heavy -ditch some of the processed foods. Start building up your lean muscle mass which you have been losing while on a low cal diet. Well done on meeting you goals and don't forget your healthy intentions along the way.

    None of them are fat. 1 is normal/curvy. 2 is the perfect figure. 3 to 5 skinny, 6 unhealthy skinny.

    I'm aiming for 1 but 2 and 5 would be fantastic. The rest look too skinny to me.

    Nothing tastes as good as feeling skinny...

    I think they are all beautiful except for number 6. She looks frail, and unhealthy. The other girls look very healthy including number 1. I'd love to just look like number 1. I'd be perfectly happy with that.

    3,5 and 6 all look "too skinny" for my preference. I honestly don't even dig #2 and 4 all that much either, but atleast it looks like they're healthy looking. I'd want to be somewhere skinnier than #1 and curvier than #2.

    Number 2 would be my ideal body. In saying that, I think all the other bodies are beautiful except! for number 4. For me that just looks too skinny.

    I think 2, 4 and 5 are beautiful and what I am aiming for. I think 3 is "too skinny" for my taste.
