[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]37F and I think I'm too skinny (5'3", 108 lbs), but the compliments keep rolling in. I've never been this thin in my whole adult life. You can see the outline of my breastbone. Men irl hit on me more than they ever have before. The positive reinforcement is intoxicating. My orthostatic hypotension is so bad that my whole field of vision goes black for 7-10 seconds nearly every time I stand up, which is very annoying. I should try to gain some weight, but I'll miss the compliments.[/quote]
Get your thyroid checked. You may be hyperthyroid.[/quote]

I was thinner- 104 in college  (and I thought I was fat, I've never been satisfied that I was thin enough even though was so bony that my friends said it hurt when I leaned on them) and now I realize I was suffering from disordered eating but it was 2001, who wasn't? I would get spots and dizzy spells but no-one cared and even now my mother mourns my 'beautiful figure'.  Just eat a little more, 115 pounds and you'll be ok- just add a spoon of peanut butter and put on wrist weights for 15 minutes a day, then add another cup of food to your plate. You can work your way out of this, its ok. And im not saying that I dont sometimes cry when I see flesh on my bones, I do, and my husband is low libido which makes it really really hard, but your body is eating itself when you don't nourish it with food. You have to live. I dont know if you have kids- but think about how you have to nourish yourself for them. Our worth isn't in admiring glances from random strangers or how we look in a dress.
