OP, if the media has taught us anything, it's that you can never be too thin! ...if you're female. If you're male, I think the media judges you a little more harshly (sorry dudes).

Seriously though, I understand how you feel. The thing about body issues is that they are NEVER rational, but they feel very real to us. Like, I'm a five foot five woman that weighs about 160, and a fair amount of that is in my butt and breasts. My body is NORMAL, probably even above average from some male POVs. But there is very often a voice in the back of my head that says "no one will ever love you until you lose weight."

On a rational level, I know that's complete bullshit. People of every size and shape find real, lasting love. Love has nothing to do with perfection! But there is a part of my brain that *believes* that my body is gross and unlovable.

Anyway, I have skinny friends who feel self-concious. I always hear them complain, and I think "Yeah, I would trade you any day." I think my friends and I could argue back and forth forever: 'No, being a chubster is worse for sure!' / 'No way, being flat as a board is way worse!' But life is weird like that - it's just another way that the grass is always greener.

I'm 5'4'' and weigh 104 lbs - the issue for me when it comes to being so thin is that if I get sick and have the flu or something I could have serious dehydration issues very quickly, then I'd have to go to the hospital for antibiotics and shit. It sucks balls. Screw the media. I'd like to gain a few, I just can't. :/

Sorry onetruesikorsky, when I said that body issues are never rational, I meant that our MENTAL body issues (worrying about imperfections and the approval of others) are not rational. I wasn't quite clear on that. Of course I understand that something like dehydration is a rational issue - it would be very *irrational* and dangerous to ignore something like that!

And yeah a big THIS to screw the media. I love watching my stories, but...I'm aware they often aren't good for me in so many ways!
