@zacefronlovee lol when I was 110 (two pounds ago -.- ) I was a size 7 pants cause I have all butt no boobs...

that's silly, you need to eat in order to lose weight. It's important to eat, it helps you lose weight. It's just what you eat and when you eat that makes the difference between fat and skinny. Don't eat, gain weight....Eat right lose weight. Very simple, and it works.

@dontyouknowwhoithink It is a matter of choice. Would you endure the harsh comments if it meant a good handful of girls would be saved from Anorexia and Bulimia? Would you rather it go unnoticed altogether? If you say yes I'd be concerned for your emotional kindness. It sucks, but it is something that is worth enduring on my opinion to help save others.

@dontyouknowwhoithink a very small percentage of people are naturally size zero. I'd say about 20 percent of people who are size zero arenaturally that way. So i think the critism is needed at times. If you are naturally that way then good for you and just ignore it. However, I do agree that those who are obese should get the same about of critism as those who are very thin.

Okay, I'm 18, 5'5, 110 pounds and a size 0/1

I'm skinny but definitely not anorexic. Nowadays, people who are skinny are anorexic and people who are fat are obese.

I mean, really? a lot of skinny people have fast metabolisms. (Including myself)

Theres a documentary on a model who is 5'11 and like 80 something pounds. Definitely looks anorexic but isn't whatsoever. Is her weight healthy? no. But is she? yes. again, fast metabolism.

idk. It bugs me sometimes. Not all skinny people are anorexic.

Keira is only skinny on top
