[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really bothers me when people tell someone who is thin that it is unhealthy.  I am 5'11" and have a very small build.  I always ate plenty although I was never one to eat a whole bag of chips or carton of ice cream.  In my 20's, I was around 125.  Unfortunately, time has caught up with me and at 58, I am around 165 which is too heavy for my build even though my BMI is fine (BMI is one indicator, not the whole story).  I am working to get back to 150 which is where I feel I look my best.  I weigh more now than I did when pregnant!![/quote]

People have very different builds. 
I am the pp who is 5'10" and I would look fairly average to thin at 165, but I have really large build. Even when I weighed a very skinny 130, when younger, I could never wear anything below a size 10. Can see where another with a slight build would look much heavier at that weight. The doctor used to ask my mom if she fed me concrete, because I was so skinny yet weighed so much as a child. Hope to get down to 180, where I will still be overweight, but look just slightly overweight for my build; would love to get down in 165, but for my age it's going to be slow going. [/quote]

This is what I am saying, you have to take your build into account.  I was 5'11" at 13 and weighed between 100 and 110, my jeans were 23" waist, 36" length.  There are some that are naturally very thin and I don't think it should be automatically assumed that an eating disorder is involved.  [/quote]
