I get pretty fucking sick of hearing about how skinny girls are nasty, because some people are just naturally like that. Just because a girl isn't naturally skinny, doesn't make it right to ridicule them. I don't think enough people in the world really understand eating disorders. I don't think enough people in the world understand mental illness in general.
If I'm too skinny for your taste, keep it to yourself and don't tell me to go eat something. It pisses me off because that's not something you should even say to a person with an eating disorder if you truly care about them. Not that I have an eating disorder, obviously. But yeah, some people need to read a little a learn some things.

I'm glad that you can feel good about your weight despite the criticism you've received.

Personally, I dropped nearly 20 pounds when I was at school in Chicago, and at first I felt good about losing a few pounds because I figured it was because I was eating healthier foods (which I was) and getting more exercise (which I was). But when it got to the point where I went to donate blood, and passed out for the first time ever doing so (I was standing up and fell back, hittting my head on the floor), only to discover that my weight was even less than I thought it was and that I should not have been giving blood in the first place, it made me feel like I wasn't even in my own body. I felt like I was in someone else's body, and it didn't feel good. So yes, while there is something to be said for being healthy and yadda yadda, if you aren't enjoying the results of those efforts, what's the point? I've since gotten back to my normal weight and I'm feeling much better (even though I know I'm not eating as well as I had been for those few months, my mental health, I believe, has improved). "Healthy" isn't only about the body. And I realize that eating healthy foods can help to improve your mental state, but not if you are a person like me who tends to feel out of sorts whenever they can't recognize their own body.

Perhaps, but if one eats well, exercises on a somewhat regular basis and doesn't shoot smakck, their body will reflect it, and the opposite is true also.
I agree you can't tell if someone is healthy by looking at them at least I can't and that isn't the point.The point is starving yourself and shoveling crap food into your body will harm, hurt and possibly kill you. And for what? On one hand looks, a job? On the other, self gratification? BOTH sides of the spectrum are wrong. if people try to be healthy with their bodies, their bodies will reflect it. Of course, some will be naturally skinnier than others and vice versa. Again a big factor is the media, its useless to negate its influence but some people really need to stop buying to everything that is presented to them.

I agree with this.

It's socially acceptable to make degrading comments on how skinny someone is, even if they're far from emaciated, but if you make a comment about someone overweight, then you're 'rude', and descrimitive.

again this is true, but -for example- how many women aren't hired for a job because they're too thin vs. too fat?

there was a comment made about women on magazine covers being criticized because they're too thin... well there certainly aren't any fat women on the covers to begin with.

see what i'm saying?

making comments are shitty and people are made different. they just are. people should be proud and accept who they are, but when it comes down to true discrimination... fat people take the brunt.

Maybe because it takes work to be overtly skinny and where as someone who maybe has picked up some weight could just need some motivation to get off their arse, exercise and eat better.

Personally I find that its becoming acceptable to comment on overweight people, especially in America. I think people should feel self-conscious either way, bones or belly.

if it takes work to be skinny, you're doing it wrong

Also, if for some reason the meth didn't rot out your teeth, you better pull those bitches out!

Those pictures always scare the shit out of me from doing drugs. I am a pussy with drugs, I guess D.A.R.E. actually worked on me.
