    Default Do I look unhealthy?

    OK....so right now, I'm a bit thinner than this, which I don't want, but even when I was this weight, I got a lot of negative comments about "needing a cheeseburger", etc.

    Do I look unhealthy? I won't be offended, since I asked. What I don't appreciate is having complete strangers walking up to me, telling me that they think I look sickly.

    No. I looked like that in my teens and early 20s. You're fine.

    Did you get nasty comments on "looking like a praying mantis, etc" as well? Or is this a recent phenomenon because most Americans are accustomed to being surrounded by FAT people?

    (and by "fat", I mean clinically overweight, which has become the norm in this country)

    Oh sure. I waited tables briefly at 17, and got all kinds of bullshit. I once asked this woman if she wanted a dessert and she said "No, but you need one.". I refused a cupcake at work once and a girl asked me "What, are you trying to be heroin chic? You should eat a sandwich." So I told her "You look like you should eat FEWER sandwiches.". You look pretty tall too, which I also am (5'9"). I think being tall sort of accentuates being thin, although my younger sister is 5'5" and 105lbs (also naturally thin) and is a waitress, and people actually offer her their leftovers, telling her she looks hungry.

    It's fucked up, but you can either ignore them or snark back. I chose to snark back, and after awhile people didn't fuck with me anymore. You'll age well too. I'm 29 now and I wear a size 4. I used to be a 0-2, but I don't think 4 is bad for 29. Most people "fluff out" when they get to their late 20s.. and that was the extent of my "fluffing out".

    ^ Yeah....I'm 5'11. I don't know if I'll actually get any bigger than this. Everyone in my family is slim. It doesn't bother me too much personally, but I hate the nasty remarks I get.

    You very well might not, and as long as you feel fine, there's nothing wrong with that.

    you look beautiful. Enjoy it. Don't do anything to try and change your body. As long as you are eating healthy and taking care of yourself that's what matters. I get annoyed when people tell thin people that they need to eat a bunch of shit. Like that's healthy. It's just as bad as telling a big-boned or curvy girl that she's too fat when it's just her natural body type and she is taking care of herself. People are control freaks about other people's weight. It's weird

    No you don't. You should really just ignore all that shit. People are petty, jealous, assholes. I get comments like that all the time. It's obnoxious, but I take it as a compliment.

    If it is your natural size and you are eating well, just ignore them. I used to get asked all sorts of weird stuff before I had my kids. Workout tips bugged me the most.....I dunno, Im not a personal trainer.

    Like you, my entire family is thin. Moms probably a size 2 and in her 60s, so Im just not gonna be huge.

    As long as you feel healthy, there should be nothing wrong with you. You look great. Some people just have naturally faster metabolisms then others. I am very short (5'0) and I have to watch my weight like a hawk.

    I have learned to accept the fact that I will never be 90llbs but I strive to look the best I can by eating healthy and maintaining a healthy balanced weight for my height and body type. That's all you or anyone can do.

    Fuck haters. It's usually fat jealous people talking shit. Throw a couple of Big Macs their way and tell them to STFU

    I think the funniest thing is that people assume skinny folks are always 'dieting'. It's my observation that the ones who diet are never skinny and that skinny people who are naturally that way just eat when they are hungry and not out of emotion or because they didn't eat all day and ended up binging.

    You look healthy and pretty (thick hair, no pointiness, etc etc), but somewhat extreme, I guess. If you're eating the recommended daily calories for your weight and eating a balanced diet and everything, then those people should simply go fuck themselves. Make room for the people who love naturally skinny chicks! But if you're not eating much, or not eating enough types of foods, then it might be time to reevaluate your habits. Genetics will guide the way.

    Speaking of your hair...you are so lucky to have long healthy hair like that. I have very thin fine hair that wont grow past a certain length and I'm thicker than you body-wise. So again, thickness doesn't determine healthiness. It's a medieval myth.

    Eh...my hair's unruly, lol. That's the drawback. Though it will keep on growing and growing....but it's really not worth the PITA upkeep. Even just brushing it in the morning after it's a tangled mess ticks me off in the morning, it turns me into a grouchy bear.

    I eat probably 2000-2500 calories a day...thing is, they're healthy calories. So I'll eat things like several avocados a day, lots of bananas, lots of sweet potato french fries (I get them at this cafe near my house nearly everyday), lots of these fried cashew things, lots of rice and carbs, lots of organic salami and sausage, ice cream made with dairy substitutes.

    Oh, and every morning, I eat 3 large waffles, buttered with REAL butter on both sides...they did say that big breakfasts boost metabolism, right?

    So yes. I get enough to eat. lol

    Next time I get a nasty comment, I'll eat the fucker for LUNCH.

    Oh....and let me debunk this RIDICULOUS myth right now:

    Eating right before bed does NOT make you fat.

    At least not for me...I HAVE to stuff myself to the gills, otherwise I can't sleep. Of course, that late at night, I'm often too lazy to fix something, so I buy chips and candy bars from the nearby 24/7 convenience store, lol...

    I recently got on the Paleo (aka "Caveman") diet and it has helped me a LOT I got a bit gordita after my BA but I have nobody to blame but myself. It was a really long boring month and I reached for the nearest thing, which was food. I changed my diet and stepped up my game at the gym. I'm pretty happy at my current weight, just have some fine tuning and tweaking in certain spots to do.

    I've heard of the Caveman diet. Seems to be very effective for people. I looooves my sugars though Curses!

    Speaking of food, something I've been doing just to get the antioxidants, vitamins and digestion all good has been forcing myself to eat plain raw broccoli every day. I actually feel better mood-wise if I'm eating lotsa raw veggies, especially spinach and broccoli. It's just hard to stay consistent.

    I'll never understand how people can do the paleo thing.

    Me, I *neeeeed* carbs, lots of them.

    And raw brocolli, blegh! I'll take it steamed, then smothered in butter!!

    I still get my monthly curse, btw...speaking of gross things, haha.

    That in and of itself should be a sign that my weight is fine, I think...not that these asshole strangers know that. Maybe next time I'll throw a used tampon at their face. That'll rub it in...literally.

    @ShayBaby

    The custies are great, they've always liked my body - but I was in body rub, and they're more self-selecting.

    Mostly, the rude comments come from complete strangers in everyday public.

    And my last boyfriend - though he wasn't disrespectful, at least not blatantly. Rather, he just sounded like my dad or something...overly concerned to an embarrassing/patronizing level.
