Is My Girlfriend Big-Boned, Like She Says, Or Does She Just Have A Fat Skeleton?

By measuring the circumference of the wrist, you will find people have different sized bones. As far as having fat bones, bones have no fat, that is just ridiculous. Big boned people do weigh more, but the amount of fat on the body determines who is over-weight.

Add the big boned with the fat skeleton and divide by 2. There's your answer!! lol

This is a really serious situation and if you want to save her you can not hesitate to act now. If he parents won't put her in a hospital for her eating disorder, you need to do something extreme. You say she is cutting herself. Next time she cuts herself, it could be your chance to get her the help she needs. If it requires a little lying, it is worth it. If you are talking to her on the phone and she says she is cutting herself or just got done cutting herself, sympathize with her for a minute then say someone is at the door and you need to go answer it. Hang up the phone and call the police and report her as being suicidal. They will show up at her house and see her cut wrists and that could be means for hospitalization. If the police find that she needs to be in the hospital, the hospital will evaluate her. They will find that she obviously meets the criteria for Anorexia Nervosa: Restricting Type and they can begin to treat her for that problem. Technically you didn't even have to lie to the police because she has, in fact, admitted that she doesn't know how much longer she can go on with life. The fact that she said that, in its self, is reason for concern. She is going to hate you. I can tell you that for sure. I used to have an eating disorder. When I was fourteen I starved myself down to the point where I always felt on the verge of passing out. But I never went into a hospital. The key was, with the help of a few close friends, I was able to heal myself. I am now 5 foot 2 and a healthy 110 pounds. I know now that what I was doing was messed up, but if someone had tried to hospitalize me, I would have never talked to them again. But if your girlfriend can't do it herself, you need to make sure she comes to the same resolution as I did, reaching a healthy weight for her height and resuming normal eating habits, you're just going to have to go about it different. At this point, there is no time to waste waiting for her to make the realization that he condition is unhealthy. If you wait much longer, she could honestly die. Email me if you need some tips on how to talk to her....

Haha, my science teacher in high school put down some girl because she said "I'm not fat, I'm just big boned" and later into the class we were talking about body weight and such and she said "There is no such thing as being big boned"

I don't know if it's true or not...

=)

I think that she has flavour filled fat bones we could use for bone soup, Ymmmm!

Isn't there a saying that states something like this " more cushion for the pushing" ?

If I were you I save myself the extra labour and enjoy my girlfriend. Lol

((((8TM))))

isn't big bone and fat skeleton the same thing and i thought this doesn't exist.

I thought that being big-boned was actually a lie. My best friend is over-weight and she claims she's 'big boned'.

Without knowing anything else, I would say big-boned.

either way, that would make her a little chunky...lol - fat skeleton..

It's just fat.
