How thin is too thin?
 

i see nothing nice in seeing the likes of Victoria Beckham looking like a stick insect. she looks like something from a concentration camp. awful and very sad.
and what a bad impression it gives to the teens.

I hate Victoria Beckhams figure. How can David be happy with that? It's not normal.

I read in a paper that a teenage girl got obsessed with her own weight after seeing a picture of Victoria Beckham and died of anorexia a few years later.

I also think that Nicole Richie and Keira Knitley really need to put some weight on.

its no wonder that Beckham has an eye for other girls cause Victoria must look dreadful naked.
her legs have no shape at all.

I think she looks good.The only thing that isn't good is that she hasnt got any hips. But i am jealous of her legs. Is that wrong?

no i dont think its wrong

People like Nicole Richie are too skinny. Where you can see their bones. Thats just wrong. Although some people are really just naturally skinny.

I think Nicole Richie didnt look so good for a while, but now she looks perfect, she has gained about 10pounds. She looks much better than she did before she lost the weight. I just like the skinny look i spose, but i agree too skinny doesn't look good

The whole size 0 thing thats going on at the moment is just shocking. Look at Nicole Richie, Stick Insect Beckham, Terri Hatcher, Mary Kate O, Laura Skin Boyle they all suffer from whats known as lolly pop syndrome where their heads look far to big for their body.

What type of example are we setting for young girls that thin is beautiful?

Yeah she does look much better now she has put some weight on. I'm glad she finally went and got help!

My opinion is that thin is beautiful. At least in my eyes. But i agree at the moment Mary Kate is looking too skinny

I don't know why a girl would want to be so thin by choice, it can't because they look better. To me they look ill.

I like my girls to be normal sized, much more fun to play with. :wink:

yep something to get hold of Im in between i would say a normal figure

In that case skagged up junkie's half-way through an overdose are beautiful according to your theory.

As far as im concerned, on a superficial level the most attractive thing is to be healthy. Even if a girl is carrying a bit of weight, as long as she is in good health, chances are id find her attractive.

Skinny is unnattractive. Almost as bad as really fat.

thank god your back

edit: that wasn't sarcasm

I think anyone size 4 and under is too thin.

Victoria beckham is deffinatly too thin she is seeting a bad example.

Isn't size 4 an 8? :puzzled:

What country are you from?
Here the usuall sizes are 8 10 12 14 16 etcc....
But petite sizes are 6, and now they do size 4. Not sure about size 2.
And size 0, but ive never seen that in shops.

Oh ive just noticed your from ireland. Now i have no idea what your sizes are.

Ooh I thought you were talking about American sizes! I have never seen a UK size 4. An American size 4 is a UK size 8. A size 0 would be size 4 over here.

Oh right. yer i know what you mean now lol

People are naturally skinny and healthy, but it's beyond healthy when there's people like Victoria Beckham (Who we have seen from the past is not NATURALLY that thin) - it's endangering her health.

I disagree with Gemma that "thin is beautiful" because what about people that are normal sizes? The fact they're not explicitly thin means that they're not beautiful?

Too thin is when it is endangering your health. Some people are naturally quite skinny, but perfectly healthy. But if people are making themselves thinner and thinner, then it becomes dangerous. The obsession with dieting and 'size 0' syndrome is getting quite out of hand. None of these skinny celebs look that attractive to me. I asked some of the guys I work with who they would prefer out of Victoria Beckham and Nigella Lawson. They all said Nigella.

I was watching some thing on More 4 the other day about some woman who decided to try and get to a size 0 (equivalent to UK 4) and she was a UK 12, in something like 2 months.

She went to the top athlete trainers or doctors, something like that, and they did all these tests on her, and they said she was healthy and fit.

After weeks of training and dieting (she was now about a 10, maybe abit smaller) she went to a Harley Street clinic that saw celebs etc, they said she was medically obese!

And as she said herself, if that was someone going in there already thinking they were over weight, imagine what it is going to do to them being told they are OBESE!?

My opinion on this matter is:

No matter what size you are... if you are healthy, then it's fine. Some people are naturally like rakes. I'm not one of these people.

When I was a kid, up til about age 13, me and my friends were all about the same size. Just regular kids. Then we reached that age, and their wastes went in a bit and they developed tiny bumps for boobs. I was an early developer. I went from looking like a wee girl to suddently having hips and 34C boobs. That was my bra size at age 14.

Now, I'm 33, and some of my friends still look like they did when they were 13. But, that doesn't mean they are too thin. It's just how they are built. I know that now, but I was extremely self-conscious as a teenager, because I was really the only one who had curves (which I perceived to be FAT). Again, I look back at photographs, and I was certainly NOT fat. But, the fascination with being stick-thin is not a new thing. The media are partly responsible, but to be honest there's more negativity in the media about being thin nowadays than there was 10 or 15 years ago. So, hopefully it's going to improve.

To answer the topic title.. "Too Thin" is when you are malnourished by deliberately undereating.

I think celebs like Kate Moss and Mischa Barton are naturally skinny

But Victoria Beckham, Nicole Richie and Keira Knightley just arent
