Skinny ppl

[emalee]

is it just me or are there any other naturally skinny women who feel like everyone is having a go?
There are heaps of articles, songs and TV programmes that say you shouldnt be skinny and that big is beautiful. We don't ALL starve ourselves

Oh don't pay much mind to all that rubbish.

Ignore it all and you'll be much happier whether you're big or skinny.

just ignore it, these days the media want to have a pop at everything under the sun, dont believe the hype!

i've been skinny all my life and was always having to put up with comments from family and friends, friends mothers in particular!

they actually used to come out and blatenly say "god you are so skinny!" - made me mad how they thought they could say it!

I hate all this talk about banning size zero. We don't even have a size zero in the UK so WTF is that all about?
I don't starve myself and have always been skinny,I have no idea why,thats just the way I am. If people don't like it that is their problem not mine.

It drives me mental when people look me up and down and say something about what size i am, it only started after it had been highlighted so much in the media

[cazzz1975]

yes, obese people suffer the same type of treatment

I have had this too 'god you are so skinny' or 'theres nothing of you' i used to not like it at all but now im a little older i really dont mind. I eat well and i'm healthy and i love being slim, i know im lucky. I think it must be they say it because they secretly want to be the same. I dont think that if i was overweight those people would say 'god your fat' or 'theres so much of you' would they?

A couple of years ago my bloke lost a lot of weight (about 3 stone) and he looked really good on it. But jeez, the number of people who said stuff like, "oh, you don't want to lose any more, that would be too much". I think it's a mixture of jealousy, a) that he looks pretty good, and b) they can't match his achievement.

If you're naturally skinny - and a good many are - then hey, no problem. I think there's room (or should be room) in the modelling world for all shapes and sizes and the more fashion labels steer away from using exclusively skinny women and veer towards a greater variety of body shapes, the better.

Take no notice Emalee. It wouldn't do if we were all the same size and shape. There are always jealous people around, ready to have a pop at others, and so long as you're happy with your weight, and eat healthily, I'd say it was better to be on the slim side than carry excessive baggage.
