Scared Skinny 

To have dieted to the point of being unattractive, but ironically the dieter in question was only dieting to look MORE attractive.

To look like one has an eating disorder.

Beyond skinny-fat, this person is scared skinny, so as not to endure the pain of being labeled fat, lazy or repulsive, this person has went to extremes to reach an unattractively low weight that is neither healthy, sustainable or sexy in any way.
Example 1
