Please Help……………….?

Question by Vatsoon Tokos: Please help……………….?
Two months ago I was a healthy 18-year-old weighing 110 lbs and height 5’4. My boyfriend constantly told me I had the nicest butt he’s ever seen.
Three months ago I started using cocaine on a more than occasional basis and now I weigh 94 pounds. I no longer have a butt at ALL and plus no chest either (I never really had a chest though).
I need help. I enjoy being skinny, but at the same time I still wish I had a nice butt. My boyfriend says there’s nothing to grab onto now. I want my weight to remain a double-digit number. How can I have both at the same time (a nice butt and my skinniness) ?
It’s weird though…I have rarely ever exercised in my life and I’ve always had unhealthy eating habits and yet I have never weighed more than 110. I don’t understand how I used to have a “hot” body if I had such horrible habits. Plus I smoke about 6 joints of weed every day and have been doing so for the past 3 years.
