no fatties
In stupid_free, there's a post about a girl who is 5'4" and 90lbs, fishing for compliments in

isolationista: There's really nothing wrong with preferring to be skinny.

jade_faith: They also said there was nothing wrong with antidepressants, until the suicides started popping up.

And they're off! Look out for

blasphemae implying that "underweight!=skinny". And then "underweight=skinny", a few posts later!

Please, no fatbashing.

You know, I did Weight Watchers one summer to try to get small before going to Japan. The main thing was watching points gave me an idea of what was bad for me, or very high in calories even while being good for me. I don't know if I'd recommend Weight Watchers itself, unless you want a DIET, but getting an idea about counting points helped keep me in a frame of mind about food so I could make good choices even with limited options.

Another thing, I joined a gym, and all of a sudden 250 calories for a piece of candy or can of soda is more meaningful when it translates to "30 effing minutes on the eliptical machine" :)

Eh, I'm not a health freak, tho. I still treat myself and I think it matters more to get good calories than low calories. (A 300 cal salad w. veggies is better than a 100 diet meal made mostly with chemicals and starch).
