Do I look "sick" skinny?

B*B*
in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

My mom says I look "sick" skinny....my DH says no. What do you think?
I wouldn't mind gaining a few lbs. But I didn't think I was gross. LOL!!

    If I saw you on the street, I would not think anything about it.  You could gain some weight.  I have few extra pounds you can have.

    Not really. Not like you have an illness and thats why your skinny, but you look too skinny IMO.

    What do you want to hear? Do you look really skinny, YES. Would I pin you as someone with an eating disorder if we met, probably not. If you think you need to gain some weight, do it! But I am a lover of my curves, I don't think I could go below a size 6.

    No matter what positive or negative posts you read here, I would suggest seeing a nutritionist for a professional opinion.?

    Well, if you want an honest opinion, you do look a little frail in that picture.?

    In this picture I do think you look a little sickly. I know sometimes it's hard to see ourselves objectively. I agree with the pp who said you may consider seeing a nutritionist.

    Also your son is adorable :)

    Do you have trouble maintaining your weight?

     A friend of mine has a crazy fast metabolism.  She tries so hard to gain weight.  She is constantly eating.  Her doc prescribed her prenatal vitamins to help.  She is way too skinny.

    That is kind of a weird pose you're in. ?Can you post a pic of you standing upright? ?It looks like you have very visible collar bones but that doesn't mean you're sick. ?I have them too and I just ate Burger King for dinner.

    Honestly, you look "sickly".  Your arms are very thin and your face looks gaunt.  You look a lot better in your siggy pic.  I highly recommend talking to a nutritionist (as pp said) and putting on some weight.

    No flames, just being honest.

    Yes!! it just keeps coming off. I thought when I was done BF'ing I would put some back on but it just keeps going... I don't know what to do. I may consider seeing a nutritionist. Thanks ladies.

    You do look very thin around the collar bone area, but every one carries weight differently, so without seeing the rest of you it's hard to really tell. How do you feel? Are you eating well, getting enough rest, etc.? ?How you answer those questions is more important than a picture.

    On another note, I looked at your blog. ?Thank you for participating in the MS Walk. ?My oldest and dearest friend had MS and passed away in January at age 36. ??

    I think you look fine. The way you are laying makes your neck do that weird thing - it happens to me when I strain to sit, but am still laying, ya know? I've always had ridiculously thin arms, but my wildabeast thighs more than make up for it.

    I agree, you do look really thin. I would definitely recommend talking to a doctor or nutritionist. I'm a chubster, so if you want me to donate some pounds, I'd be glad to. Wink

    You do look really thin to me and not a healthy thin....I'm not trying to be mean here.  I think you're a very pretty girl but would be even prettier if you put on a little weight.  You can tell you are thinner in the pic you posted than in your siggy.

    Sort of. ?You look a lot skinnier in the PIP than you do in your sig. ?I think the difference is enough to be concerned, but it could just be due to the way you're positioned in the PIP.

    I don't think you look sick. You seem to be about the same size as me and I eat all the time!

    It's really common to develop thyroid disorders after pregnancy. If you're losing that much weight without trying, that sounds like what it could be. Usually it starts as hyperthyroid (weight loss) then eventually jumps to hypothyroid (weight gain), all within the first year after pregnancy. Definitely make a doctor appt.

    That said, I think that's just an odd pic. Your skin looks kind of ashen, your neck is doing something weird, you've got some crazy hand veins going on... all things that could make you look "scary skinny". But I'd blame the pic! :)

    Oh oh, you just pissed off a whole bunch of people with this post!

    As long as you're eating, I think you look fine.  Some people are just naturally thin.

    I don't know if you're still reading, but I remember you talking before about your inability to keep any weight on. You look extremely thin to me, like you need to gain some weight. I definitely think you should see a nutritionist, doctor, somebody - your face looks a little sunken.
