I get tired of many other threads on these boards. You know what I do? I don't read them.

Second, no, weight lifting is not the only answer. Many girls don't wanna lift. While I love lifting and encourage girls to look into it, I don't like how broken record MFP forums are becoming about lifting. Lifting isn't answer to everything. So quit saying about it.

Also, just because somebody is self conscious about their weight, doesn't mean they are. If they are asking if they are too thin, doesn't mean they are. Many people have different perspective of "too thin" and sometimes, when somebody who is used to being around too fat people or are fat them-self, they tell the now fit person that they are too skinny. Doesn't mean they are too thin, it just means they are being told wrong. We have these discussions here to suggest to these posters what our perspective, as a fitness community is.

I appreciate your effort but your delivery is extremely poor and will probably do more harm than good. We like to encourage people to ask questions and learn. We do NOT like to shut people down and tell them "if you have to ask, you already are"

I can never tell if you are chaotic good or chaotic neutral.

I am taunto.

I think that's it in a nutshell.

i have never been thin. EVER. I've lost some weight and now i have bones sticking out I've never seen. Like collarbones and cheekbones and a little hip action too. I need a little input on where to stop.

I don't have an eating disorder thanks. Nor do I need to be told to lift weights, because i know how to change my body comp.

I don't f'ng know what i look like as a slim person. Are these bones supposed to stick out or not? Not fishing, Sometimes a question is an honest question because you need a disinterested 3rd party occasionally. "Honey you're beautiful no matter what" is a nice answer, but doesn't help even a little. Or "honey you've lost 20 pounds- you're about to disappear" when I weight 150 freaking pounds isn't helpful either. I'm not a packet of peanuts or a set of car keys. I'm not going to slip between that couch cushions among the loose change and lost buttons.

Do I need to seek professional help? Nope. I ask a question in hopes of catching someone willing to share an unbiased and hopefully tactful opinion.
