You CAN Be Too Thin

Tagged:

Nicole Richie, whose drastic weight loss started rumors that she has an eating disorder, acknowledges she is "too thin". She was quoted saying she does not want girls to look at her and want to be that thin.

Richie, who has said she gained weight during a stint in rehab for heroin addiction, says she doesn't know how much she weighs today. Which I think is weird because everyone has an idea at least of what they weigh. She also said that stress has caused her to have a weak appetite.

Dr. Jeffery Wilkins, vice-chair of the department of psychiatry at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, is creating a nutrition plan to help Nicole gain weight in a healthy way and create the body she wants.

She should be put in a medical room and keep until she gets fatter. Tha girl is wayy to skinny

Personally, I think Nicole Richie is beautiful. If you have ever watched The Simple Life, you will see she's so funny and seems like she has a good head on her shoulders. I don't necessarily look up to Nicole Richie, but I do respect her for being honest. Hopefull one day she will take a good look in the mirror and change herself because she wants to, not because everyone else tells her to.

I think she is really beautiful too. She probably just got up with everyone else and lost some weight. She will gain it back I'm sure. Once you start losing weight, its really hard to stop. You just feel so good about yourself and you dont see what everyone else sees when they look at you.

I respect her for being honest. It's scary how people get eating disorders because they want to change how they look. I know a girl who is super skinny, and I am with her all the time, and she eats a ton. She has a really high metabolism. At post prom, we had gone out to dinner with our dates, and she ate a lot. A couple hours later at post prom, she ate 3 pieces of pizza, 4 cookies, 2 breadsticks, a runza or two, fruit, chips, and pop at the beginning of it. By the end, she was back in line with a lot of food on her plate again. I was with her the whole time. It's amazing how high some people's metabolisms are. Anyway, I think it's great that Nicole admitted to what was going on and set an example to others that if they are having trouble with an eating disorder, they should get help.

Yeah that is how I am, I have a high metabolism.

I agree that you CAN be too skinny because when I see some celebrities on TV that are too skinny, you could see their bones through their skin.
