I subconsciously 'check' or 'measure' just to make sure I'm still thin.
I hate my thighs; I hate my calves. I've been trying to figure out a way to whittle them down to nothing more than fatless twigs but I haven't figured out how to sort of put them into a state of atrophy (they're so muscular, it sickens me).
I'm a little neurotic.

Ah so you've bought into the whole being thin is attractive message. I understand you want to be thin but you shouldn't want to have what little muscle you have left to go away.

Well I mentioned the models thing, it was just part of the whole body image issue that most women have and then they turn around and think that most men prefer rail thin women which is so far from the truth. I mean there are a few guys that do prefer thin women but the majority of guys likes a woman that is a bit more shapely. How shapely varies though.
