It's sad how you learn to feel guilty about your body when you're a skinny person. People give you the feeling you're making them feel bad about themselves just by being there. That compliment of "I wished I looked like you" is nothing to be proud of because it implies I make you unhappy with your body and it's my fault because of the way my body looks. I'm not allowed to have any insecurities and opinions, and I can't be proud of my body either, so I just keep saying I'm sorry for my body.

If you are someone who doesn't believe in skinny shaming then think about boys. Boys get made fun of all the time for not being "buff" enough (especially thin athletes) and get told that no girls will find them attractive, or that they are not "manly enough". If you haven't witnessed a girl being skinny shamed then you have definitely heard at least once a group of guys making fun of how "weak" and "girlish" a guy looks because he's thin.

Newsflash: if you say things like: -"you're flatter than a surfboard" -"you look anorexic" -"boys like bigger girls because they're prettier" to your friends, you're skinny shaming them. And yes, you can be skinny and be body shamed. So for whatever reason behind it, never say these things, not even as a joke.

Doesnt it bother you when people start obsessing over your body? For example when they say stuff like "omg you're so skinny I wanna be like you!" "I bet you eat whatever you want!" Like they put you in a pedestal over absolutely nothing?? It happens to me all the time and it makes me so uncomfortable....

When I went on depression medication a few years ago I gained a lot of weight (30+ lbs) really quickly and no one said anything. When I went off the meds, I lost all the weight I gained plus some and people keep telling me I'm too skinny. I'm much happier now, no longer need medication and feel better (both mentally and physically) than I have for years. I just wish people would stop making negative comments about my weight loss :(

I'm a bigger girl but your blog is wonderful! I hate when people make fun of me (I'm working on getting healthy). I know what it's like to be body shamed and nobody needs that. I hate when people say models should eat more or when they tell my friends that they need some meat on their bones. People don't seem to think that they have problems just because they're thin and so that somehow makes it okay to comment negatively on their body. So thank you for promoting body positivity on your blog :)
