I hate it when people laugh at me for trying to gain wait but then make me uncomfortable by constantly pointing out how skinny I am

[rebeccaalvarado]

People need to understand that gaining weight is actually really hard for some people. Fat shaming is real. Skinny shaming is real. Shaming is real.

EDIT: hey guys! thank you so much for the likes <3 i hope that all of you are ok!! i just want to say that i'm in no way trying to compare the two situations. i'm stating that skinny shaming is a real thing and it can hurt people. some people do in fact struggle to gain weight as well.

I hate the question “do you even eat” like no Karen I survive as human being without food.

Moral of the story: get yourself a friend like Ashley

"You know it's funny, because often people try to lose weight."
WELL DOCTOR DOES IT LOOK LIKE I WANNA LOSE WEIGHT

[blueskxyy]

*People bully others for being fat*
*People bully others for being skinny*
Me: *Omg can like yall stop bullying?*

[Krissy]

"its must be so hard for you trying to gain weight"

me: *yes, yes it is*

[kalajean]

"Real women have curves."

Hmmm.. I wonder why some women are going through extreme measures to gain weight.. Women come in all shapes and sizes! Please stop body shaming.

[tiffany-lxfz]

“do you even eat?” is the same as asking “do you really eat that much?”



*doesn’t matter if it’s skinny or fat, body shaming is body shaming.*

“Have u tried just eating...like garbage foods?”

What kind of doctor advice is that?! 🤦‍♀️😂

[iratheone]

I used to cry about being too skinny. Relatives were concerned. “Friends” would ask me omg you’re so skinny, you’re too thin, do you eat, are you bulimic” Looking back I should’ve told them they’re being assholes, but instead I went home to cry. I wouldn’t wear sleeveless. I would always layer up with a cardigan to cover my “ugly arms”.

I hope no girl/guy out there would ever have to feel how I felt. End of the day I found someone who loves me for who I am, and I learned to accept how I look and eat healthy be happy. And eventually gained weight. Everyone has their insecurities. Just be kind to one another, and be kind to yourself.

I have a high metabolism and I have this problem and I eat a lot of junk food and so I'm like "I really need to eat healthier" and then people are like "WHAT?? Ur so skinny tho!" And I'm like just bc I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm healthy

[zylieacaria]

I'm really thin and my sis is fat. Even though our appetite is exactly the same, but for her, it's hard to loose weight and for me it's hard to gain weight. I really hate some people say "Does your sister eats everything" like wth!? Being fat doesn't have anything to do with that.... And people think I exercise a lot when I'm just a couch person. *I hate this judgemental society*

Someone: You are sooo skinny
Me: You are sooo fat
Someone: ThAtS bOdyShaMinG

Body shaming goes both ways.
"You're so fat, lose some weight"
"You're so skinny, gain some weight"
"Eat less"
"Eat more"
"Elephant"
"Stick"
Stop just stop. XXL or XXS you're still beautiful. Just eat healthy and exercise and make sure that you're not changing your body for anybody else but YOURSELF! take care of your body ;)

I think all skinny people will understand people looping there fingers around your wrist to see how skinny you are...😅

[dorkypotato]

Other people: *tries to gain weight*

Me: *breaths*
Scale: *20 extra pounds*
Also me: HOW IN THE-

[cinzyyo]

I've been skinny shamed most of my life..I've been called broom stick.. tilapia fish.. walking toothpick and a lot more...it made me look for drugs to gain weight 😐

[rawrvolution]

I couldn't join the air force because I was under the minimum weight requirement. I have irregular periods and in the future I will most likely struggle to have a healthy pregnancy. I'm self-conscious about my cup size. My own mother accuses me of being anorexic. I'm an adult woman who is very underweight, not because I chose to be, but because that's how my body is. If I could gain ten pounds to put myself at a healthy weight, I damn well would. All these people in the comments saying that skinny girls should be happy, that we've been blessed and need to stop whining, I'd like to ask you if you have to worry about these things everyday.

You forgot the part where they call you a stick (happens constantly)
