Lynn is severely underweight for her age and height, and appears nervous to step on the scale. The nurse is concerned about Lynn's weight and asks her about nutrition. Lynn states, "Look at my face! I always have horrible acne, and my boyfriend thinks I'm hideous. The only way I can keep him is if I'm skinny like the women in magazines."
