Skinny people have feelings too

[daffy654]

I have noticed throughout my life that it is not ok to call people names if they are overweight but if you just happen to be skinny you can expect to be called all sorts of horrible things. I have been called a junkie,accused of having anorexia or bulimia,told I look like a bloke in drag because I have very slim hips. Why does society accept this? In fact the media positively encourage people these days by slagging off size 0 models. We don't even have size 0 here in the UK!
Us skinny people have feelings you know. We wouldn't walk up to an overweight person and say "oh my god look how fat you are". So don't walk up to a thin/skinny person and say "oh my god look how skinny you are". It is just as insulting and upsetting you know!

Someone once said to me, that if I was a victim of a plane crash & I had to survive in the middle of nowhere until found, I 'wouldnt last very long as I have no meat on my bones'......

How do you think models feel when they are all stereotyped as anorexic and so forth...

daffy - I had this most of my life and I always thought the same. I used to be told that I was anorexic. I always wanted to be like my friends and fit into clothes they had.

Sleeping over friends houses used to be a nightmare, they used to give me a pile of food on my plate and tell me to fatten up! Obviously couldn't stomach eating after that!

My friends never bullied me or anything, but I really wanted to put on weight!
