I'm probably reiterating something you already know...

When we loose weight, we loose evenly all over our bodies.
For example when we loose say an inch off our hips, we also loose an inch off our stomach and waist. So when we're loosing weight we are loosing it propotionally and although we are loosing, proportionally, our hip to waist ratio doesn't change.... therefore, in appearance to ourselves, we still look fat even though the scale and tape measurer show different. We are looking for a point of reference to see some difference that, yes, I see I lost weight. With everything shrinking togather, there is no solid point of reference.

If we are looking to see our hips getting thinner by way of comparing them to our waist, in appearance it won't look like there was any change or vise-versa looking to see a thinner waist by way of comparison to our hips.

We get this idea of what we want to see change on our bodies and we're not seeing what we think we should so we think we're still fat when in actuality we are not.

Keep this in mind and like the last poster, trust the scale or tape measurer. Think about weight training if your not doing that to give yourself a toned look which you'll find very attractive on yourself which is better than the thin frail sickly look. Having muscle, you can eat more without gaining anything also.

Working on the muscles on the side of your thighs, will make your proportions change and give you an even thinner appearance with your waist and keep you from looking sickly from the waste down. For me as a guy, having muscles there keeps my pants up.

Another bad thing that happens from mainly starving one's self is you'll loose muscle with the fat proportionally so your body fat percentage won't change even though your loosing weight. I'm assuming your quite thin all around as it is. I want to give you maybe a different goal by way of working on lean muscle to fat percentage rather than just trying to loose weight. Having muscle, you can eat more without gaining anything because the muscle will burn off any excess while the rest of your body organs will be getting the needed neutrients they may be missing now. You'll both feel better and look better all around. Then like me, I pigged out yesterday at a work luncheon and this morning weighed 1/2 pound less than yesterday morning. It's nice when you can eat and not worry so much about weight gain.

I hope this was somewhat helpful. I know it would be better if you had a real in life friend you could talk to. I think what I'd like with a friend is one who will say, "Well, if you pass out from lack of food or dehydration, I'll be there to help and take care of you."
