How thin is TOO thin?

I'm curious, how thin is too thin? I am 5'11, built very broad (like a line backer my grandma always used to say hehe), and am currently rocking 158.8 pounds. My surgeon wanted me at 179, but my body kept going, and I was okay with that, due to the skin I still feel very chubby. Lately though, everyone around me is saying "Oh god, stop! Your SO so so skinny, your starting to look ill!". Am I not seeing what they are o.0 I think I look pretty normal, or on the chubbier side of normal. I am all curves all the time, how can I look skinny?

How do you know when you are too thin? How do you know when to stop? I have hit all of my final goals, so I was just continuing to exercise and eat right, I figured my body would stop when it was ready to. So, how thin is too thin?

I can't really answer that - but I am the same height and build so I wonder, too.  My goal is 178.  That's the top of normal.  But I've been so stalled that it's ridiculous.  After all my exericsing and careful monitoring of my food all week I've gained a pound.

I'm only 5'5" and for ME, under 145 will be too thin.  I want plastics later and that would drop me more so my goal is to get to about 150 and maintain til I have plastics.  then decide what I want to do but I don't see me every wanting to be smaller than about 140-145.  if I'm a size 10/12 now at 174, I'd be a 4/6/8 then and that is plenty small for me.

I saw a size pants the other day that was a size  00.  If you can fit into those pants... then that is too skinny... other than that... if you are happy and healthy, you will always be beautiful Jessica Jean, so i wouldn't worry, keep on doing great!  You are such an inspiration!  

Hey..hey..hey...   don't be a hater  (LOL)  I am a size 00.  I haven't tried to get that thin.  I have tried for over a year to gain to 135 lbs..but my body won't budge.  I am 5'6" and weigh 102 lbs (wet)  LOL

I am healthy...and most the time I'm happy!!  The funny thing is...I was so big ~ size 26/3X and couldn't shop in most stores because they didn't carry that large of a size.  Now wearing a 00 and sometimes 0 or 1...I still can't find clothes in my size.  I have went from one end of the spectrum to the other!!

Don't make me sit on you and cut you up with my boney ass!!  LOL 
Dawn

lol!  I didn't know anyone who could breath could actually fit into that size?  I thought it was just there to make everyone feel sorry for the hungry person that could fit into those pants!  Wow...  I hope I can have your problem!  Geez....  I always have said if i was that small i'd walk around naked!  Who needs clothes when you're too tiny to be seen!  The wind will blow you away!  Damn....  thats good though... I'm 5'6 too, and I can't even imagine weighing less than 120.  I don't even know if I've ever weighed that little- i think i was born at 150.  lol.  I was 160 in 6th grade, so thats about as far back as I can remember weight wise...  no... I was 101 in 3rd grade.  But anyways....  Eat something honnie! 

Eeeew 00, yeah, that's gross. I'm a size 10 right now, I kind of want to see what I look like as an 8, but I have a feeling this intertube of skin isn't going to let that happen.

Yesterday at a club I had a random girl stop me (she was drunk mind you), and say "Oh my god, your face is so thin and sunken in, it makes you look sad". How do I respond to that? lol

you respond by punching her in the face and saying now you're face is sunken in too...  how do you feel?  lol...  people are stupid, especially drunk people lol!  

 that was funny...hahahaha  honestly, i probably would have punched her in the face.

Oh, Jessica - people are so stupid.  Your face is NOT sunken in.  Your face is absolutely stunningly gorgeous. You were the first profile that caught my attention enough to show my husband "look at this girl's B & A photos!!!!!"

But I bet it felt the same way as it did when someone calls someone else fat... mean people suck and as my mother would say, "Don't worry, she was just jealous of you"  

Seriously?
You are absolutely beautiful.    Her insecurities made her say such a thing. She is jealous of quite beautiful looks. You are stunning my dear........

You look in the mirror every day and say...I am beautiful! Inside and out! It took me 40 years to feel that in spite of being overweight. I was married to a verbal abuser that did alot to Kill my self esteem and the way I felt and looked in the mirror.   

When someone says something negative.............do what I do?
either smile really big and say :
OH yea? I think I look pretty damn terrific for a 70 yr old.

Or: look at whomever you are with or someone else nearby and say? Did you hear a fly in here? Im sure I hear one.... and walk away.

They really are bugs anyway.

Hope that helps beautiful Soul on this earth!
