Good for you not listening to your body! If you are wanting to lose weight, skipping meals is not the answer. Many people say the BEST way to lose weight is to eat small meals SIX TIMES A DAY! This speeds up your metabolism. If you skip lots of meals, your body can go into starvation mode. As long as you don't listen to those urges (food is bad, I can't eat food!) then you are doing alright.

As far as the pointer finger and thumb around the wrist: I'm over 200 pounds (not confessing how much over!) am only 5'7", and can only shop in the plus size departments. I CAN STILL TOUCH MY POINTER FINGER AND THUMB. My good friend in high school was only a size ten and couldn't even get her middle finger to touch her thumb. Most people don't have a lot of fat in their wrists. This isn't a good indicator of your ideal weight!

Maybe the best thing to do is to go to a doctor and tell him/her that you have some concerns about your weight, and would like advice about your ideal size and also advice on eating habits. They would be able to give you the best help!
