I'm not trying to be sexy anyway...but I can grate cheese!
Being overweight is not healthy either. But that is not the issue at hand.
Thought I would put down my thoughts because it seems the wrong message got across.
I'm 16yo, 45kg and 5'6". Believe me, I eat ridiculous amounts of fatty/unhealthy food, I'm lazy, and yet, can't help my ribs and hipbones showing. It's called a fast metabolism, and it's nigh impossible for me to put on weight. I used to hate being skinny, because I used to be teased for it, but now I've come to love my figure and think of it as 'sexy' or whatever you please, so seeing stamps like these is quite demeaning.
If it was a stamp saying 'curves are not sexy, eat less', there would be an outcry. Sorry for the novel, but it's a ridiculous double standard and I just want you to understand.
I've seen people post stuff on here going "Bones are beautiful".
If bones were supposed to be seen, they wouldn't be put UNDER skin and fat layers.
Why does everyone attack skinny people, assuming that we all have some sort of eating disorder?
Some of the models on this site might have an eating disorder, but who are you to call anyone out? I think it's pretty sad that people need to look at anyone who's not 'curvy' and cry 'she starves herself!'
I'd also like to know why it's perfectly fine for people to say "EW skinny is so gross it's not sexy at ALL!", but if you say the same thing about a bigger person everyone goes crazy with anger and calls you "shallow", especially when a guy says he likes skinny women..the response is always "You're brainwashed by the media/you're a shallow, immature little boy/you don't know what a real woman is!!" or something like that...
Believe me, because I'm not 200+ pounds, I get the terms 'anorexic' and 'bulimic' or both (at once) thrown at me. It's disgusting that bigger women are pitied because apparently that's just the way God intended them to be...well, maybe God intended for there to be NATURALLY thin women on this earth too. Or do people just have it pounded so deep in their brains that skinny = starvation? I was asked by a bank teller if I was 'one of those girls' because I'm thin. Do people not realize what that does to someone?
