except for me. >_> my dad is skinny, but i inherited my mom's [chinese] fat thighs. and fat arms. and etc. omg. >_> i mean i'm not OBESE. but :[
but i don't know how some japanese girls are so skinny. like for example, model/ actress suzuki emi is 5'6 and weighs like 96 pounds. wth. >< and i mean she looks perfectly healthy. there's this other actress who's my height [5'2] but weighs 86. >__< not fairrr.
& yes i prefer the look of a skinny girl. that's just how i feel.

Body frame has a lot to do with that too. If the person is small-boned, then that's less weight the person is carrying from the bone mass, I suppose.

AHHH! I know! I have a very fit upperbody (good ole weight lifting!) and I look terrible when I wear dresses with low cuts because it makes me look massive. It makes my body look tons wider than it really is compared to turtle-neck-esque stuff.

I'm working hard to stay on my pro-ana diet.

Yesterday I only had:

*Breakfast: 3 large sandwitches, yoghurt with cereal, tea and lemonade.

* A big pasta & meatsauce lunch (with cheese)

* Coffee and cookies a couple of times while at work

* Dinner: Large pasta salad with chicken, tomatoes, dressing.

* 3-4 fruits, tea, lemonade, and a couple of sandwiches in the evening.

I think I will reach my goal weight of ½ kg soon!

I can't understand women's fascination with being as skinny as a number of the western stars. I understand they don't want to be fat, but at the same time they don't realize that having fat on the body is actually healthy. I'm not talking 3000 pounds, but something light at around 130ish. I don't know when women will realize that beauty will not last forever, their body will deteriate, starving yourself in an effort to look 'attractive/sexy/beautiful/etc" is causing more harm than good.
Since a number of men here are naming their type of women, oddly , I guess I'll jump in the bandwagon. I don't concentrate on looks, outer beauty is a fading illusion, I care more about the inside beauty of a person, the person can be the size of the titanic, but if they have inner beauty and confidence, then they will win my vote.

Alas a truly virtuous statement~
However, what if you were too ask, "why is this woman so enormous in the first place?"
Emotional Illness? Such as being shunned for having been fed too much as a child, thus causing a lack of self-confidence and the need too consume vast amounts of comfort foods? Or from depressions with other causes?
Is it a physical illness that caused her body too inflate 230% of it's original mass? What if, God forbid, she were nothing but a 'lazy' glutton who has feed frenzies 4 nights of the week? With a fridge at home stock-piled w/ enough ham, ice cream, mac n cheese, etc. etc. too last months, but consumed far sooner than that? Just some of the possibilities as too the cause of someone's obesity.

Well, time is low for me, so I'm just going too conclude that you CAN judge people by their appearances, their mass, whatever. The way you take care of your body and present yourself is influenced so much by your personality.
Okie, gtg now, almost late for work =.=

but if it dosn't make them look better... well then.. Nevermind'

i know.. that's not what a doctor would say.. well im not a doctor.

You don't care if girls throw their guts up after eating? You don't care if they have an eating disorder, as long as it makes them look better?

Ugh.
