[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, people act like chest bones shouldn't be visible.  I'm not going to weigh in on the actress's size, but OP complaining about "visible chest bones" is a bit annoying-- most people who are on the lower side of healthy weight have visible chest bones. It's nothing to be ashamed of and it's annoying when people body shame like this. If you prefer people to be thicker, that's great but not everyone is and that's okay too.  [/quote]

This, and this is why I find dissecting her body in this thread to be gross and unproductive.

I’ve had visible chest bones, and visible ribs, and visible hip bones, my entire life, except when I was pregnant. I don’t have and have never had an eating disorder. I’m just very thin, and my body is also structured so that even when I gain weight, my hips, clavicle, and ribs are still visible.

I have lost a “scary” amount of weight before, but from stress/anxiety, not an eating disorder. It was scary because I am already naturally very thin and therefore dropping 10-15 lbs but me close to it under 100 lbs. I didn’t like it and wasn’t excited about my weight loss at all. But I also learned other people don’t understand weight at my end of the spectrum at all. People assume the weight loss is due to avoiding food. They don’t understand and that some bodies will metabolize a lot of calories very easily, and that it’s possible to want to eat and be unable to do so because for other reasons. For instance, my anxiety caused such severe heart burn and acid reflux that I would struggle to get down more than a few bites of food because even though I was hungry, my body felt full.

Commenting on this stuff when all you know about low weight is a bunch of cliches about anorexia is just irresponsible. Not your body. MYOB.[/quote]

We’re not talking about you. We’re talking about Lily Collins, who IS anorexic. [/quote]
