I'm not into the fashion scene, so I don't really know what they are dealing with. I do know that a lot of women get pretty upset about the young girls looking so thin. The probl is, young people are naturally thin.
If we're talking about skin and bones, one or more examples on this thread (if for real), there should be some sort of help made available for these women.
If we're simply talking about women in their late teens to late twenties that still have a youthful figure, then the fashion police should back off.
I couldn't gain weight no matter how much I ate when in my late teens to my early thirties. Everyone said I should put on weight. Hey, that was just me. I ate more than most and still looked thin.
I remain amazed at how much time some folks seem to have to look for new ways to "fix" everyone else's problem.
The biggest problem is that those who are emaciated think they are still too fat. They are playing with fire.
I was the same 100lbs dripping wet.
Then at 30 had a severely diseased thyroid totally removed and well... now eating is such a freedom now.
Mrs. Texan was the same way; as a teenager she drank pure cream trying to gain weight. When she hit 55 she finally made 110 pounds after battling to stay at 100.
Ah, to have her genes....
