I don't know if some people think they're trying to be nice in their own mind, but it makes me feel so uncomfortable, especially when everyone hears it and looks at you. Yes, I know I'm tiny, blah blah but don't say things like that. I hate when people will say also, "Oh, you need to eat a cheeseburger, or maybe you're having a bad day because you're not eating enough, I mean look at how skinny you are, where is the rest of you?!" I don't think I have to justify my body or health to anyone (even though I am always eating and enjoy eating :)) I am happy that you posted this because there is someone actually who I can relate to. Love reading your blog as always! <br /><br />xo AlexaBellexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740551029349348175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586628263602806192.post-44760960058968264052013-02-01T02:28:39.015+00:002013-02-01T02:28:39.015+00:00I went through a time where people thought I was t...I went through a time where people thought I was too skinny and would come up to me and ask if I was anorexic and spread really silly rumors about me. It actually made me eat too much and too unhealthily when I was in class/at school, just to prove that I did eat! I finally realized it was okay to be me, and be whatever size my body decided to be. I'm so sorry you had to experience such harassment, even if it was unintentional on the other persons part, its still rude and uncalled for. I hope you can overcome your insecurities, and realize just how beautiful you are! I'm definitely going to follow you so I can check on the progress of your goals (: <br /><br />xo<br /><br />fashion-impossible.blogspot.comshannon mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185071239844093276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586628263602806192.post-84083002771529164082013-01-30T23:20:41.984+00:002013-01-30T23:20:41.984+00:00Great post, there's such a stigma towards '...Great post, there's such a stigma towards 'skinny' people, its such a shame as you're totally right, the world would look dull if everyone looked the same!

I don't particularly like my body shape as i'm Slim but have hips that maybe other people don't notice and it really shouldn't be an issue but for some reason it is, it feels like people are picking you apart if they say something about your physical aspects that you can't change and i can never really tell if it's meant in a bad way at all but it's still upsetting.<br />I'm quite a confident person in general and i think this is the one thing i cannot stand people talking about with me in a negative way because it just knocks you back.<br />I think it's especially difficult for teenagers as our bodies are pretty much changing all the time yet when we were younger everyone was pretty much the same.<br />I have so much more i could say about this and i really love this blog post but i'm sure I've rambled enough!<br /><br />India xo<br /><br />http://velvet-ghost.blogspot.co.uk/India Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07402902061902790814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586628263602806192.post-18400935874775346662013-01-29T20:30:03.068+00:002013-01-29T20:30:03.068+00:00Great post, and love the image too :)

W...This post is such a fantastic example to others. We have all been in a situation where people have made comments about our weight, and whether they were intended to hurt us or not, they did! Over the past year I have lost a large amount of weight in order for me to be happier, not for anyone else to be happy, and the amount of comments I have received is lovely, however, I do find it embarrassing when people say things such as "you're wasting away" and "skinny Minnie."' I find these quite humiliating comments, as for me, being confident is all about being comfortable in the skin that you're in. It also really upsets me when people say "I'm on a diet" or "I'm so fat" when it's obvious they aren't. These people are such beautiful people who have said this to me, and I find it that the majority of people who have say these things have been offended with comment in that past. It is awful that comments which people think are compliments hurt others so much. These comments also pass off on the younger generation, a 5 year old asked me if she looked fat in what she was wearing once, I found that she had heard comments off others and didn't want to be categorised. I hope that you are feeling more confident this year, because you are very talented with all of your posts, and on the images that you post on here, you look beautiful!

I've always been slim, I have a fast metabolism too so no matter what I eat I can't seem to gain weight and people are always like "you're so skinny" and assume I hardly eat even though I have a pretty healthy appetite!<br />It's so true about the skinny/fat comments too, no one seems to realize that calling someone skinny can be just as insulting as calling someone fat yet it's acceptable?

Unfortunately people just tend to associate 'skinny' with 'looking good' now days... think of it like when people say "oh wow, you look so good have you lost weight??"; basically they're saying "you didn't look good before but now that you're skinnier you look amazing". I'm not trying to justify what that person said about you, it was uncalled for and rude, but try to understand that people are ignorant and don't think about what they say as much as they should now days :/<br />I've always gotten uncomfortable comments about my body from men and them sexualizing/objectifying it... really, as women, we can't win. Just stay confident and know that that confidence is what makes you beautiful!! :)<br /><br />Cassie<br /><a href="http://thriftthick.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">thriftthick.blogspot.com</a> ThriftThickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559274727656432134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586628263602806192.post-4234276387106665212013-01-28T23:27:30.122+00:002013-01-28T23:27:30.122+00:00This was wonderfully written and I agree with you ...This was wonderfully written and I agree with you entirely.

Basically for me I am over weight (I know and I am working incredibly hard to sort this out) and I always have been but I have never been called fat. Why? Because of the reason you have said, people find calling a person fat as horrible and calling someone skinny isn't? It doesn't make sense and I feel horrible even thinking it (like I do if I think anyone is fat) so I really think everyones POV needs to be changed because I know from a few friends that it does hurt and it does change a persons way of thinking about themselves.. :/<br />Great post though - alot of truth spoken!! <3<br />Lots of love from <br />Annabelle<br />TheCurleyGirl<br />xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxAnnabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596256721957126856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586628263602806192.post-86598363516567173042013-01-28T22:38:31.577+00:002013-01-28T22:38:31.577+00:00awwwww i wanna give you the tightest cuddle! i say...awwwww i wanna give you the tightest cuddle! i say to just ignore them and act like it doesnt bother you, eventually people will either get over themselves and move on or they'll realise theyre being crappy and hopefully still move on.<br /><br />im your newest follower! i love your blog!<br />xoXo<br><a href="http://breezeybee.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">BreezeyBee Blog</a>Brigitte Honeybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759651668576843978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586628263602806192.post-5478315244791196402013-01-28T22:08:42.455+00:002013-01-28T22:08:42.455+00:00Omg this is so true.
