Do I look borderline anorexic? (link to my pic).?!
Question: Do I look borderline anorexic.? (link to my pic)..?
First, let me just say that this is NOT a back handed fishing attempt for compliments...nor am I one of those people who's obsessed with their bodies. A few years ago, a doctor's visit (high cholesterol, BP, etc), really put me on a course to make a change in my life. After that visit, I quit smoking, and began to take care of myself. Had I continued on my path, I would have been a prime candidate for a heart attack, or stroke.
Long story short: I'm now very happy health-wise with the changes I've made. I feel fantastic!!! But...a number of people have made comments that I'm too skinny. A few have even said I look "anorexic". This is mostly from co-workers, and the opinions have always been unsolicited. It's gotten to the point, where I'm now starting to wonder, and doubt myself. I normally don't care what people think, but it's happened so often over the last few months, that it's starting to get to me. One girl even poked me in the ribs and said "You need to eat, boy!!"
Seriously, do I look unhealthy and underweight to you.? Yeah, you can see maybe a little bit of my ribs, but I don't think it's that bad. I think I just have a small frame, and am one of those people who's meant to be a little on the small side.
Thanks!

I think your body looks good, not too skinny at all. Check your BMI and see where it falls (use an easy online calculator just by googling BMI calculator). I wouldn't worry about looking to skinny at all though.Health Question & Answer
