[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost a lot of weight and when I saw my doctor, he was blown away, kept raving about how good I looked and asked what I did. I told him that I basically stopped eating except for very small amounts and was hungry all the time, expecting he might lecture me on that. And he said, "Yes, I think that's what people have to do to be thin." And again he complimented me on it. [/quote]

This is me too - and many of my friends. I eat one small meal a day, no snacking, and the rest of the day coffee, water, green tea, sparking water with lemon. I exercise five days a week. Rarely have sweets or drink alcohol- though certainly an occasional glass of wine for a special event. My splurge is an occasional square of dark chocolate.

It’s a diet I’ve maintained for the last 15 years, though I ate a little more during pregnancy adding more protein and dairy (kids all born in the 8 lbs range, no issues).  It’s tough, especially because I have kids and they eat regularly as does my husband, though my husband is a healthy eater by and large. But they eat more frequently and it’s tempting.  As I get older I find I’ve had to be even more restrictive with the quantity in my one small meal.

[b]Bottom line, I’m skinny (5’ 4” and hover around 105 lbs) and my doctor has repeatedly said I’m at the perfect weight. Would say that my doctor is also very slim. [/quote][/b]

You could gain 15 pounds and still be considered the perfect weight for your height. I think both you and your doctor have disordered eating habits.[/quote]

+1.  I am the same height.  My whole life I have been considered very thin by everyone I know, including rich and highly educated people.  I haven’t weighed 105 since I was 18.  At 112, I was fail thin and people commented in concern.  118 is about my “thin” weight.  I am very small boned and have no boobs, so I don’t see how you could weigh 105 and be anything but skeletal at that weight.  I strongly suggest you get a new doctor.[/quote]

Nah.  118 at 5’4 is an average weight.  You’re just used to being around fat Americans.  118 isn’t thin unless you’re large boned and then you’re not considered thin either.  Travel to Europe or Asia and you’ll realize you’re just a normal size.

Seek help for your issues with weight.  118 lbs is well within normal weight for someone who is 5'4".  [/quote]

I was like that pp same height and 105 lbs until three years ago. Now I am 118 lbs and feel too heavy and look heavy. I am not American, but I am from Europe where we don't have distorted ideas about what is healthy or skinny or too skinny. We don't go around justifying being average and claiming that that weight is too skinny. It is not skinny for 5'4". It is normal and few more lbs, getting chubby. Sadly, in US people have turned it upside down and now claim that people who are normal weight have issues with body image. Hence agree with previous pp, only in US is 118lbs at that height skinny. Around the world it is average. That is why you should be thankful if you have a doctor who is honest with you and won't feed you BS how you are super skinny at that height and around 120lbs. I have pics of me at 105 and now at 118lbs and I look good at 105, not scary skinny at all, now at 118 I look chubby depending on a day. People are nuts how far they will go here to accuse average weight people of being too skinny, and having body image issues, when the reality is just the opposite. Heavy people thinking they look fine, you have body image issues.[/quote]
