This may be a sensitive question for some - Not intending to offend anyone

Every time I see Whitney Port I feel sorry for her because she just looks anorexic.  I googled her and apparently she is bulimic which makes me even more sad.  I'm pretty thin because I have a crazy metabolism but I have some muscle tone and butt but no where near this skinny.   But I eat and eat and eat.  Steak is my friend.   

So my question is which do you think is right??  Do you feel or are you obsessed with being skinny??  Are do you except who you are.  What about your daughters??

I never thought Whitney was so skinny.  Not anorexic anyway. 

I need to lose weight but was always skinny and could eat a house and never gain. 

My 16 year old can eat a house and never gains.  She weighs 90 lbs and eats 2 dinners every night.  Her metabolism is messed up but we have known it her entire life.  I guess she is lucky you can say.  She is only 4 ft 10 1/2. 

 My 19 year old can gain some and has to exercise to eat the crap she eats.  She weighs about 115.

My dd is comfortable with herself.  She is slender, not skinny.

I am pretty obsessed with my weight.  I'm 5'7" and I feel "big" when I weigh more than 135 lbs.  I want to be at 120 lbs.  Right now I'm 137 lbs and I'm stressing big time.  My children are all fine with their weight, thank goodness.

When I was a teen I was absolutely obsessed with being skinny. I am 5'6 and never weighed more than 118.

Now I am 38 and I still deal with some body issues. Over the past year I have lost weight (30 lbs) to be healthier not skinnier.  I am okay with where I am weight wise now and I'm also very careful to not pass my past issues on to my dd. She is happy with her weight and she is within the healthy range for her height.

I am a happy5 ft 170lbs woman and my figure may make others queaze but I have no health problems and feel fine. I sometimes feel I need to time myself or whatnot but generally happy. And that is what I will tell my daughte since we live in a image is everything world

My 19 yr. old DD is that skinny. She has a crazy metabolism too. Wish I did.

 I was the skinny girl all my life even after 3 baby's and then after I had the 4th one I have struggled to tears ever since. I am very very painfully self concious about my weight and have cried before going to family get togethers etc bc of it.

All my kids have high metabolisms like I always use to and they are currently all happy with their bodys as was I when I was that tiny.

I have serious body image issues and it scares me that my kids know that bc I know that is not healthy for them. I feel hostage to those feelings, its quite awful.

 I've always had a weight problem.  Have to starve and exercise to lose.  Did it for awhile but am not able to anymore.  I'm fortunate to have a husband that doesn't care if I'm skinnny or fat.  My dd has some "chub" as she puts it but has wonderful self esteem.  We all think she is beautiful.
