Question

I am 6 ft 1 in tall and I weigh 104 lbs.....I can see my bones clearly and I think I am underweight...do you agree ?

Also my parents force me to eat but I don't want to eat.....is that normal ?

Answer 1

I think you are waaaay too skinny, but it depends on your age, if you're younger than 16 you could still just be catching up to a growth spurt, but still, that's really really skinny. I hope you don't have an eating disorder like anorexia. generally you want 100lbs for 5ft, and 5lbs for every inch after. So a fully mature woman should be around 165lbs average at 6'1...you should eat as much as possible, and also drink Slim Fast believe it or not, combined with eating as much as you can. Slim Fast or other meal replacement powders have a lot of protein and vitamins and minerals, but you should replace meals with them, you need to add them too your meals. you need more junk in your trunk lol. that's cool that you're 6'1 though, i'm 6'5 (195, and i think I'm too skinny!) and finding a girl over 6' is nearly impossible.

Answer 2

I'm 5'4 and that weight, and people tell me I'm too thin. That does sound a little too thin though. If that's the way you are naturally, then there's not much you can do about it. But if you're that thin because you aren't eating, then that's a whole different story. Not eating enough can cause a lot of problems with your health.

Why don't you want to eat? Is it because you're trying to stay thin or because you're depressed (a lot of people lose interest in eating when they're depressed)? Or is it something else? Start eating more (healthy things though; don't shove 4 double cheeseburgers down your throat).

And if you can't get yourself to start eating, then you should really consider getting professional help before the problem worsens.

Answer 3

being that tall and only weighing 104 lbs is defnitely underweight and unhealthy. the fact that you could see your bones clearly is a larger concern as well. a 6 foot women depending on her frame should weigh between 138 and 179. from what you say i think you really do need to eat even you do not want to, it does not sound healthy and might want to get it check because it sounds to me like you might be anorexic. now i am not trying to be rude or anything, i am simply concerned about how your health might be.

Answer 4

Yes, you are underweight to a point that you might need some professional help. I am barely 5 feet, and I weight about 107 lbs. People still say I am skinny, so you can get an idea how thin people think you are.

Answer 5

yes you're underweight and the fact that your parents have to make you eat sounds like you have and eating disorder...i'm 5' 4" and i'm 102 lbs and really skinny but in the normal weight range i can't imagine someone 6 1 and that skinny...

Answer 6

You are underweight and if you don't want to eat, you need help. Anorexia and other disorders are a way some people exert control over their lives when they feel out of control. You're risking your life and your health, and your parents love you and want you to be healthy and live a long happy life.

Answer 7

that is definitely NOT normal. you need help from a doctor. thats like....so skinny someone that tall would be almost dead. you NEED to eat girl! that is just wayyy to skinny.

Answer 10
