honest feedback---> new pics and even I'm scared

I know you may not want to hear this, but if you are still unhappy with your body and think you need to lose more weight you might want to consider talking to a therapist about it. It is free with most insurances to go, and talk to a counciler a few times a year.

The first picture shows what I thought looked like a amazing body. I was very happy for you thinking that you had lost weight to get there.

The other two pictures then i realized what you were getting at. It is honestly quite scary to look at.

My best recommendation would be to talk to either a nuritionalist, councelor, or doctor about both the way your body looks and the way that you feel about your body.

Professionals would be able to give you the best possible answer regarding if you need to gain weight or not.

You look really healthy in your first picture, but the 2nd, & 3rd are TOO skinny. It looks unhealthy. I suggest you put on a couple pounds.

How would you feel about working towards gaining some additional muscle mass? Your actual scale weight may stay the same or may even go down, but you will look and feel healthier and stronger. It's hard to tell from just pictures, but you probably don't need to lose any more weight.

If you think you may have an eating disorder, it might be worth contacting the National Eating Disorder Association at 1-800-931-2237 and just chatting with them to see if they have any sort of advice or guidance to offer.

Edit: Just wanted to also add that you don't look scary skinny. I would guess you're either at the low-end of "normal" or just a bit "under-weight". It's probably a good thing that you're taking a good hard look. If you start taking some steps to make sure you're on a healthy path, it means you won't fall far deep into that underweight category. It's brave of you to post this. I hope you find your way.

I agree with everyone here, especially taso42, with trying to build muscle mass and calling the # he gave you. First step is acknowledging you may have a problem and it seems you are there. Good luck.

It does seem as though you're concerned so ... that's good. I agree that if its something you seem to be having trouble with maybe you're ready to get help if there really is a problem .. i wish you luck and you can always talk on here we will all always listen. call the number taso gave ya and def. see a doctor see if theres soemthing that they could reccommend to help you gain a little and stay healthy..
everyones so focused on losing that they forget that sometimes it can be and is just as dangerous to be really underweight as it is to be overweight.
just breathe and go to a doctor if its not being able to eat or whathave you idk the whole situation of why you're losing so much... but .. its going to be okay ..

As always, Taso offers great advice. I agree with not losing any more.

Do you find you get dizzy or woozy easily? Are you decently drunk after one drink? Those were my signs, personally. That was over a year ago, though, and I was pretty far underweight - not eating because I was poor! Slowly but surely I've gained 10 pounds since then and I can now drink TWO drinks. Haha. Someday I'll work up to 3 drinks. I'm finally in a "normal" BMI and not an underweight one as of last month.

Have you set MFP to maintenance level? I have mine set to gain .5 lbs per week and try my best to meet that goal or at least meet my maintenance level calories. MFP really helps so that I can exercise without eating too little.

Thankyou for your honesty. i am concerned for you even though i dont know you. please go and talk to a doctor, you look too frail

no your not going mad it is the same person....

i think it's a great idea to call that number and just tell them your concerns. they probably have some really good advice and experience helping with people in all kinds of situations. hugs!

I think it's good that you realize you need to gain some weight. I find it sad that people on this post are being rude, while I agree that this isn't a success story, I also realize that you need support. You need to see a dr. and determine what a healthy weight is for your height and body type and then stick to that. I understand what it's like to have a distorted body image and how hard it is to see the numbers on the scale go up when all you really think you need is to be thinner. Focus on being healthy, not being skinny. Good luck.

hey there! we can't really judge you based on your pics, (because we're a cyber community) but please please please go to a doctor. i have seen this is your 2nd post on this topic, if this bothers you this much then go to a professional

I agree. We can all give you our opinions but you should consult a Dr. Given your height of 5'4" you're at the low end for height to weight ratio.

People, please be respectful. Here's a person reaching out earnestly for help and opinions. These negative comments can be extremely hurtful. Most of us were/are fat. Imagine if we came here asking for help, and people basically responded "stop posting here and get yourself some help, fatty". Be respectful.

I agree with Taso to show respect to the OP. She is posting a legitamate post asking for help. I recently posted about ana/mia posts and realized that they often do things like this because they need encouragement to get help. Perhaps she's nearing a breakthrough to recovery. All opinions are welcome, just try and keep an open mind and be kind :flowerforyou:

I looked at your photos - both from today, and your post yesterday.

Yes, you are too thin. Yes, you should be worried. Yes, you should definitely do something about it.

Knowing you need to do something, and taking concrete steps toward that goal will give you strength, power, and confidence. This is a great opportunity to learn about who you really are and grow as a person. Plus, you have so many of us on MFP who are happy to support you and cheer you on.

So visit a doctor, a nutritionist, and a personal trainer, and go for it! :-)

I agree with this poster, it seems to be bothering you which leads me to believe you know something is not right with your body, so please go see a doctor.
