adverage weight.??

[sienna.]

okay...
i am 169cm tall and i weigh 30 kilos which mean i have a BMI of like 10.5
according to the doctors...
and i am finding that horrible.
i used to weight 28.5 til i got this feeding tube in and then i put on 1.5 kilos.
so i got it taken out.

i need to lose that weight.

but everyone is telling me that i am too skinnny.
but that's not true....

so what do people on here weigh???
like girls around my age (17) or my height (169cm)

let me try and see clearly.......

I'm not trying to sound patronizing or anything but they are right, you are very underweight and you do NEED to gain some (infact it would be best if you gained LOTS), otherwise you could be close to dying, as scary as that sounds.

You are one of the lucky ones, you're getting treatment before something horrible happens. Sooo many people with anorexia die. Please, just continue to do what the doctors tell you to do so you can recover successfully.

However, a healthy BMI is somewhere between 18.5 - 25, depending on the person. Weighing 30 kilos is shockingly skinny, honestly.

I know i am neither a girl, or 17 years old...but...i am nearly underweight now...and i was your weight when i was about 12...that is seriously unhealthy, please go back to the doctors and learn how to effectively GAIN weight, please.

My five year old brother is only 22kg less than you, and he's six (and underweight...).. and a lot shorter than you.

You're tall too.. That's a little disturbing.
I think this might help you.
i'm 5'9 (175cm) and about 160 (about 72kg) [last time i weighed myself, AFTER i probably put on a few pounds]... And people have asked me lately if i'm on a diet or sick. Truth? I've tried to loose this for the past few months. Not too long ago i had to be talked out of trying to drop down to 140 (63.5kg) because they were worried that it'ed get bad.

*hugs*
There are people on here who understand why you're having such a hard time accepthing this

Don't tell yourself that the thinner you are, the more attractive you are because the truth is most guys hate super skinny girls. It's just biology because naturally guys look for women who could carry their young and if you look unhealthy you will have a harder time getting dates.

it isn't as easy as that, or just a matter of eating more. Anorexia Nervosa etc. will not mentally allow it. if it was as simple as not telling herself that, then im pretty sure she wouldn't have any problems with it now, as they would be fixed already.

Please do not lose that weight... you are super skinny and it is kind of scary. You should gain some weight and be healthier, having a weight of a 7 year old when you are 17 really is not close to healthy. The best thing for you to do would be to go to the doctors again and ask how to gain weight.

I have also read some of your other posts and you say that you have been beaten by someone you love, but you cannot live without him. You sound like you are really nice, and even if you weren't nice, no one deserves to be physically attacked like that, espically by someone who says that they love you. since you cannot live without him, have you ever considered a relationship therapist? They might be able to find out the problems caused between the two of you, and they might be able to stop the problems.

But if you want to know, my sister is 19, about 5feet,7inches, and weighs 140 lbs

Please take my advice =], and stop looking at the bad things in life, and see that the world is beautiful :)
