She eats like a piggy, she just don't gain.
I have heard her remark about her thighs, she will grab them and say they are fat! The girl has NO fat on her body, she looks like a walking skeleton!
Should I be worried? |
Wow - I agree with Judy - talk to your school counselor and doctor. I'm 5'6 and I am a size 4 and people tell me that I'm skinny so I can only imagine what 99 pounds on a 5'6 frame looks like.
It's the pressure these young girls have now a days with being thin - all the models on TV and actresses are a size 0 or now someone told me that -0 is a size now. The fashion industry isn't helping either (if you watch Project Runway all the designer clothes samples come in size 0 and if you can't fit in them you don't model).
