    And we're both around 5'6 :D
    We can be each others support if we ever decide to lose weight :D

    You have a good excuse to gain some weight though ;)

    Skinny isn't really healthy in my view. There is thin, and then there is skinny. I'm quite happy with my lovely body, thanks. I'm not jealous of skinny women, I've just known far too many of their eating habits.

    Women have a lot complex eating issues. Some girls get stressed out and go for 3-4 days without eating, they control and restrict themselves from foods for a long length of time, skip meals, drink only water to stave off any hungry pangs throughout the day, they go on diets, they fast, they go on body cleanses, they talk about their friends' eating habits and judge what diets they are on and how much or less exercise their other friends are getting, the tally their food intake by counting on a point system to help them lose weight or they ask everywhere for the calorie intake on any possible food, sometimes women go vegetarian and eat so poorly their doctors tell them they need to start eating meat again, and let's not discount serious eating disorders like anorexia, etc.

    It's basically insanity. I'm not jealous of any if it. I've just seen too many of my close friends suffer from this kind of mental trauma and habits when it comes to managing their weight. I just don't believe any female at a certain age can claim to be 115 lbs. and 5'6'' with a very healthy and balanced diet. I've yet to encounter and witness this.

    Save the rant for your women's studies class. I've seen girls, who get sick of girls like you, who say negative shit about their weight, probably out of insecurities, when they are naturally "skinny"

    While I agree that women in general have a lot of complex eating issues, and many women have unhealthy obsessions about their diet and weight-
    I think it is bullshit to assume every thin woman has those unhealthy attitudes about their weight, and aren't just genetically thin.
    .. and you know just because someone is thin doesn't mean they even want to be that thin- I have been at points in my life were I fucking battled to gain weight- were I was tormented for being soo underweight, and people like you would assume I was starving myself or puking, when really all I wanted to do was be healthy.

    Yes, I have know thin women who obsess about their body, but the truth of the matter is most the women I have known with eating disorders- and such unhealthy obsessions have been surprisingly normal looking, not underweight.

    LOL. What? Naturally thin is thin is thin. I am aware that some women like Autentique when she was younger was quite naturally thin and exercised. I'm not ranting. I'm saying that I don't trust a person's healthiness and eating habits based solely on how little they weigh. Get it? I've had too many close friends who were average and normal weight still go on diets and crap and claim to eat a healthy diet when I as I could see, was a control issue and a need to be more thinner than I saw them.

    I don't think skinny is healthy. Thin is perfectly healthy to me. I use these two terms to clarify and make an important distinction between the two.

    I think it's pretty fair to assume that someone who I consider to be skinny and not just thin has some kind of eating issue. Just as it is fair to assume that someone who is obese and not just fat has some kind of eating issue.

    Thin. Skinny. There can be quite a thin line between. Who f'ing cares anyways? If a girl wants to puke up lunch, I certainly dont give two hoots. It's her life, and is being rail "thin" makes her "happy" whatev.

    Do you care every time a friend shoves a cheeseburger into his or her mouth? Quite the double standard there tends to be.

    That is just genetically untrue...unless you have some pretty severe definition of thin and fat.
    Fact is,you can feed the same identical "healthy" diet to a large group of people- an some peoples body will burn it easy an be more prone to being thin,and some will have trouble burning it at all an have genetic history of obesity.
    I am serious when I say most the people I have known with EDers where "normal" weight- they thought they were fat, or thought they were thin, and/or had control issues with food- but to look at them ,and their weight alone you would never guess.

    I don't think it is fair to lookat most any avg person(be they thin or fat) in passing - and assume its because they have some sort of eating disorder.
