Here are my photos

I think Delenn posted that while I was still writting out a response to the
post above. Ig's post was short so I could respond quickly whereas Delenn's
required a more considered reply.

btw I saw on tv recently a 100 meter race for 100 year olds!

The winner took something like 8 seconds off the world record. He had a
really good arm swing going.

Alright I've taken that headshot down now

What I see is someone who is too thin. You've got the bobblehead look -
where your head almost looks superimposed on your body, because your body
is
so thin. Anorexic people commonly have this look

seek help


I am sorry, but you have a very confused body image. He looks normal to me.
He looks fit, healthy (a bit pale but that is not too uncommon this time of
year). Yes, he could use more muscle, or not. He has more muscle that some
marathoners I have seen.
I suggest that YOU seek help (I believe you have bought into the claim made
by too many overweight people that being overweight is normal and all the
models and appropriate weight people are anorexic. It helps them feel better
about their weight).
You look fine John. You are slight of frame, but the world of bodies are
varied and many. Enjoy life and do not worry about your size.

kiss my ass... you know nothing about me, and for the record - I am not
overweight, but yes, most models and actresses are underweight. Maybe not
anorexic, but underweight.

My time of year may be different to yours. I live in Australia. It's damn
hot here now!

I'm pale because I deliberately avoid getting much sun. My skin is a bit
moley and I don't want to get skin cancer, a common disease here.

Not to mention that Australia and NZ are more sensitive to UV rays as their
Ozone layer is nonexistent. The positive side of that is that you guys
have better sunscreens over there than we do here in the states.

Looks healthy to me.

BMI 19.6

I read in a CRON group that the best life expectancy has a BMI of 18.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I'm concerned that you feel the need to lose more weight. IMHO: You should
maintain right where you are.

Didn't say you were overweight, just that telling him he should seek help
was a result of your confused body image, not his.
As for most actresses and models underweight, according to whom? You, and
you have medical evidence to back that up, or just your opinion. Some
models tend to be thin (the heroin look craze I agree was too thin IMO), but
most actresses I see on the tube look normal to me. Most models I see (not
that many I do confess, I don't read teen magazines) look normal to thin,
but not unhealthy thin.
I would only suggest that before you dispense medical advice, you check your
bias at the door.
As for kissing you ass, I'll pass.

Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. I don't intend to lose more weight. In
fact I intend to increase it by adding muscle.
