Does anyone else have this? Where what used to be your thinspo... now seems a lot less thin than before? and you say, okay but I want to be be smaller than that too...

and the people you used to look at and think wow theyre so thin, I want to look like that... now it seems like they're 10-20 lb heavier and their legs are too big...

just me? okay..

I find something similar... I think most thinspo isn't thin enough.

I also feel so bad to be thinking this. I acknowledge the beauty of the thinspo girls, I would sure kill to look like that. But at the same time, I keep getting rid of fat on them. Like "Hmm... Thighs could be thinner.. That belly needs to be concave.. Cheeks are a little round... Need more ribs.. A little bit more collarbones", and so on. Goddammit.

There was one site that had a place where you could put in height, weight and body shape to see how real people look at that size and my GW was 120 but all the girls looked so big to me, (i used to think it was a perfect size) the only girls that looked thin enough were under 100 so my goals had to change -.-

I am starting to realize this too.. The more weight I lose I am starting to realize that whenever I go on a thinspo blog it isn't skinny enough so I go on bonespo. It is so odd to me because when I used to see a girl with a thigh gap I used to be like, "holy shit!" But now it doesn't make a difference to me only that I want one

Same goes for people (real people) I used to look up to as 'thinspo'. Now they all seem.. not so thin anymore? And I keep asking myself if they've gained weight. Well, the answer is, it's me. I've lost weight and now everyone around me seems bigger. As for thinspo. the smaller you get, the bigger your goals become and you start searching for a thinner and thinner thinspo.

I don't know about the thinspo but I have noticed that my friends who I used to think were super skinny now almost look fat to me. It makes me feel awful to bc I don't want to b one of those people that going around saying stuff like 'omg she is soo fat' I always thought stuff like that was horrible and rude but now I can help but notice... They aren't that skinny
