Whether you want smaller thighs, slimmer arms, a tighter stomach or a rounder butt
I found light exercises to be the most helpful. My favorite channel is Lena Snow. She is a great example of someone soft skinny, who is very active yet still small. Below are some of my fav videos
So...how to be soft skinny?
As you now know, soft skinny is more than just skinny fat. Something that drastically can change your body, so you can slim down while looking delicate (and I can't stress this enough) is PILATES and STRETCHING (and a mix of some light cardio).
@kavehsbf
I feel emotional reading that. EDs are real and horrible. Ur mom seems so sweet and considerate. Please be careful when starving and fasting and losing weight, I know it would hurt her if something happened to you
Sharp skinny is about standing out. Being always able to tell that your body is completely contoured with discipline. Your body can't go unnoticed because of how much you stand out.
Pilates & stretching helped me drastically with slimming and toning my body without looking larger. It's also super easy to do, regardless of your size. Not only that but you can do them at home (sometimes in bed) without needing much space or spending money! Be consistent tho!
What's soft skinny?
A common misconception is that soft skinny is skinny fat,but that couldn't be further from the truth. Soft skinny is simply being skinny and small while not looking very skeletal. It's more delicate than sharp skinny
Don't bash your body over not being one or the other, this thread was purely made for the people who wanted to see the difference between soft and sharp <3 one isn't better than the other, alot of this comes down to bones, genetics and muscle/fat.
Understanding your Body Type ☆
The Kibbe Body Types are an array of 13 style types based on the overall proportions of one's bone structure, body flesh and facial features.
STOMACH VACUUM STOMACH VACUUM!
" Stomach vacuuming involves contracting the transversus abdominis by slowly drawing the abdominal muscles inward while maintaining your breath pattern. "
In short, you suck in your stomach for a pretty long time while breathing.
Something important in the aesthetics of being soft skinny is being soft! Use a body scrub to get rid of dead skincells, moisturize your skin after showering (water helps lock in the moisture) and wear sunscreen to prevent sun damage!

It's like it's intentionally ugly. She's not even fat, it's the outfit, that horrible makeup, the stupid unprofessional stare, the hand placement, the ugly clothes. It's all just awful.
My friend,who was around 22 BMI, started doing stomach vacuums when I told her I do them everyday and after like a week her ribcage became SO much more prominent she was shocked. It makes all the difference in having your ribs and hip bones show. If ur not doing it ur missing out
How to sharp skinny?
The easiest answer would just be to starve until you see your bones so you look sharper ( ̄︿ ̄)
HOWEVER... I will try to provide you more options that can help with looking sharper!
Sharp skinny =/= bonespo
It's in the name, sharp means being angular and "spikey". A body can look more sharp if it has bones since there's more ridges and edges. Soft skinny just means the body outlines are smoother.
Other channels that are also very helpful are any EA workout videos. Since soft skinny is the ideal in east asian countries, there's many helpful exercise videos that make your body slimmer and smaller without ending up bulkier.

Ugh it's so weird how it's acceptable for -12-14 yo's to be on edtwt when they barely hit puberty but as soon as people who've been disordered long before they even knew what an ed was, it's weird
GOOD POSTURE!
Posture makes all the difference in looking slimmer, taller and overall more attractive. Your whole presence changes when you fix your posture up, it makes your collarbones pop, helps show off your chest bones and gives a loud appearance. I suggest back exercises!

How this comes into play with sharp/soft skinny? Sharp skinny falls into the yang (angular,sharp) category while soft skinny is yin (soft,round). This should help clear up some confusion about one type being skinnier than the other which is simply not true! They're just different
A frequently requested thread has finally arrived 💌 whether you like sharp skinny or soft skinny, this will explain what both skinnys are and how to achieve them!
Targeted muscle
Building some muscle while remaining low bf% can really make your veins appear, your bones stick out, and not only that, your metabolism gets boosted and you're able to lose faster since you will burn more calories in a resting state!
Target what u want sharper
@sonnyvogue
She looks very similar to me. Not like she lost weight or anything. Just bloated towards the end of the day which makes sense, sure they look different but here body looks the same size
@sweeethoneypie
He wasn't weird or creepy. Sure maybe not what you wanted to hear but he seems genuinely nice and it was a kind compliment . Some of yall are just such bullies
Targeted muscles exercises and lymphatic drainage exercises.
Training certain muscles can make them appear not only more sharp but more toned. Lymphatic drainage helps with removing excess drainage in your lymphatic cells which can help with looking more tight and less puffy.
@fatspo_daily
Idk how real this is but it feels like he is fed up with her being overweight and not sticking to her diet and he wanted to humiliate her into eating less/sticking to her "diet". Very triggering indeed
There's many videos online on how to do them, I think once you start, you kind of naturally start getting a feel on how and when to do them. I like doing them in the morning and after eating, it can also make you debloat much faster!
Lymphatic drainage can be done a different number of ways. You've probably heard of Gua Sha or Drybrushing which are both very helpful tools in draining your lymphs.But something you can already do at home,is using your hands and massaging those lymph nodes! Below are some tools
@mariicals
It's just because you're pushing your arms into your body. I saw a video about this years ago and it changed my life forever. It's basically saying to hold the upper arms away from the body while posing. Most celebrities do that. Ur not fat It's just squished
That's all for this thread! I hope this has been informative for you and thank you for reading <3 all the reposts and likes are super appreciated ٩(◕‿◕)۶
@fairydolly_
It can be! The more bone-y you are, the sharper you are basically. There is girls with lower bmis that look soft, but if you get even lower, at some point you'll look sharper yes. However someone can be the same bmi and look more sharp or more soft
@skinniebunnies
I think ppl just felt like she wanted to pick her ED and they felt offended because most of us wish we were just healthy (mentally). But she obviously ment to ask if purging is worth it and makes you lose more weight, compared to starving yourself
@dawnluv44
@porcelainbcnes
She is literally considered average or even slightly chubby for most countries outside the US. Either way she is at a healthy weight
@skinniebunnies
@xx_043_xx
She does workout and said she won't share it so people don't expect to end up looking like her. I kinda get it but it's mostly genetics and working out
@taradiaries
She probably wishes she could eat so she could get out fast too. Try not to focus too much on others, EDs are competitive but ultimately you'll get out first if you cooperate. You're not doing anything wrong
@tinyyfae
She most likely will. She's turning 30 soon, the more the body ages, the less it can deal with these things. It's why many anorexics (when they don't recover) don't make it past 35. It's the most lethal mental illness for a reason
