Nicole-Richie-Skinny...
65I have recently come to the conclusion that Hollywood starlets are getting as skinny as their bodies will let them. It is a trend to see who can get the smallest; survival of the thinnest, if you will.
Now I am going to venture to say that I am in the minority of the adults who envy this look. If I could be as skinny as these celebs, I would. I do not find "curvy" women like J.Lo and Beyonce attractive (sorry, bootylicious bitches). I mean, don't get me wrong...I admire women with confidence but danng...cover that shit up.
So anyway, I used to be a major fatty (177 lbs) when I graduated from high school in 2006, and it was strange because I never thought of myself as "fat". I thank Nicole, Lindsay and Mary-Kate for slapping me in the face and forcing me to look in the mirror of reality...I was a fat-ass college bitch who wasn't even attractive to super drunk frat boys (ouch, right?).
So after two years, diet pills, gym memberships, a breast reduction and on-and-off dieting, I weigh 143 lbs. (I'm 5'6 by the way, so im still a lard but nowhere near as bad as I used to be). I'm not stopping until I look as if I have an eating disorder (even if I dont!). I'm 15 pounds away from my goal weight and like 3 inches away from being content with myself. I still want to look like Nicole Richie.
I guess I should thank the media and the starved celebs for saving me from my own demise (obesity, eww). I'll let you know when my ribs are sticking out.
My name is Brenda, by the way.

dude that's just stupid...looking like skeletor is gross and unhealthy. being at your weight now is good for your height. i don't suggest constantly looking like you are going to faint at any second...that's nasty.
Seriously don't even worry about shit like that. All people will notice about you is your thinness if you look like that, instead of your gorgeous face (yes, I see that profile picture). All that waste of time and effort, just for some random person to spend a few extra seconds of their life thinking "Wow she's skinny"? Not really worth it.
so you aspire to be a skinny, loose college girl? you need to work on finding who you are as a person and stop watching television and reading magazines- it's all trash. Be yourself and stop trying to live vicariously through those characters. It's really silly to put yourself below a healthy weight (and 128 lbs at 5'6" is not going to look very good) If you're that concerned about the weight, do light weight training to build lean muscle- the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you will burn while exercising and at rest. eat 4 or 5 small meals a day with lots of protein and veggies rather than 2 or 3 meals. You need calories to burn calories, and when you starve yourself, your body goes into super-slow metabolism mode to preserve its remaining energy. Stop worrying about what the scale says and the physical appearance you see in the mirror. You need to appreciate you for you, because if you don't, no one else will- keep that in mind.

O - M - G!!! Okay, I suppose to each their own. :) Why not focus on being the healthiest person you can be, though, instead of being a size... what size are you aiming for? I've had plenty of my share of drunk ass frat boys who were attracted to me, (I'm 5'8" and well, you don't need to know how much I weigh,) not that I would ever go there. Welcome to HubPages! None of us knew what we wanted to do for the rest of our lives when we were 20, so keep writing, I like your style if not your content!
