No Skinny For This Girl

If you're happy and healthy with where you're at or where you're going, more power to you.

ET, go home.

Ah, the accusation of jealousy. The argument tactic of the deficient debater.

We have a few mutual friends that tell me she is jealous. I trust them.

Careful now. We all have mutual friends who say things. We wouldn't want to start a pissing match.

SkinnyFatAlbert

Wait, so all the women here aren't trying to get thigh gap?

skinnyinnotime

I hate this post, that is all.

Why?

I love that you have a realistic outlook. You know what your body is capable of and you are making the best of it. I too have broad shoulders and although I've never been athletic, it's nice to think I could be that.

Because she could have posted about what she wants without saying she doesn't want to be skinny. Why else mention skinny other than to put it down.

She didn't put anything down. All she said is that is not her goal. If that's your goal, fine. Nothing against you.

When people talk about their goal why talk about what's not your goal?

Maybe she doesn't want to be a ballerina either or a 100 other things, why not put that?

Because it's popular to pick on skinny.

Nobody is picking on skinny. She is just saying that her goal is different than what society might dictate or want for her. That doesn't mean it's bad, it's just different.

No she isn't 'just saying' that at all.

I never ever want to be fat or obese, I don't create posts like that because it's rude, insulting and unnecessary

I would like to take a minute to comment on my OWN POST.
To the person I have quoted, feel free to excuse yourself from my post. You have grossly twisted my words and turned them around maliciously on me. Nowhere in my words did I "bash" skinny people. Nowhere in my post did I say skinny was bad. I simply stated my goals: I don't want to be one of those super skinny women. I want to, as it has been said already, embrace my build, embrace my curves, and work for a muscular body. I am not saying skinny women can't be strong. I am very close to skinny women who are stronger than I am. So, even though I shouldn't have to explain myself to you, stop causing drama and let this site be the uplifting place it should be.

To everyone else, thank you for the support. Thank you for voicing your opinions and holding up the characteristics that this site was build on. I salute all of you.

To all of the skinny, strong women, MORE POWER TO YOU! That is fantastic! I am honestly not being sarcastic or anything here. I'm sure your bodies are wonderful, and as long as you are happy that way, you go get it sister!

All in all, everyone has a body type they want. Mine happens to be what I stated. That doesn't mean I'm "bashing" any other body types. Everyone is different, and everyone will feel beautiful to themselves with a different body type. The main thing is that we all keep working to get to those hot bods!

Peace and blessin's.

Excuse myself from your post?... is this on your own private forum? Gosh how did I stumble in here?

Oh no, looks like it's still good old mfp public forum.

Where's Hildy J to defend the OP and preach the good word of "Why don't you just ignore it if you don't like it?" anyway? Why is she never around when it seems like she's actually be useful?

Aww you again, you really have taken a liking to me, you were off to lift weights but you couldn't resist in staying a while longer to respond to me again.

I am flattered!

Are we going for distance or accuracy?

OP - Good for you and good luck on getting more athletic.

Isn't "skinny" a relative term? Heck I hear people all the time tell me how "skinny" I have gotten over the past year. I thank them and laugh to myself. I have never been and will never be skinny. I am more fit than I have ever been but the last time I was skinny was....never.

Thanks for the post OP. Puts it into perspective for me.

jenn_boomz

Haha, don't worry, you can have big, muscly thighs and still have thigh gap.

SoDamnHungry

I have broad shoulders, and my hips are 36 inches. You don't have to be skinny to be healthy. But don't use your build as an excuse to be overweight and unhealthy. That is all.

I'm pretty sure total volume will be the deciding factor.

I'm glad. I'm here to help boost the self-esteem of even the most paranoid and overly offended.

And what can I say, I find your responses impossible to resist. You're just doing so much for me this morning; the weight room isn't going anywhere. I've always kind of had a liking for playing with people who don't make sense. It's kind a weakness of mine. Some people...they just post things and I smile.

Lean: (of a person or animal) thin, esp. healthily so; having no superfluous fat.

Skinny: resembling skin : membranous

Sure! I have lots of friends with different goals than myself and I support and appreciate all of them and the varying views they bring to my life. I've made plenty of friends with people I've argued with around here; it's not in my nature to take things to heart or get upset.

FR incoming. :happy:

BOOMaggedon

Lesson learned - do not post a "personal" goal in the MFP forums. It's too bad arrogance, ignorance, and trollishness doesn't burn calories or a couple people on this thread would have had a couple weeks worth of workouts in.

sophiemama

This whole thread is ummm how do I say it? Crazy!? Ladies, calm down, who so serious?

I understand how the OP feels, I have always had big hips, butt,boobs. Also with some extra belly fat to go along with it.

After losing 30 some lbs, people consider me "skinny" or "thin"
I don't identify as skinny, not because I think anything is wrong with being skinny. In my fantasies I am 5'10" 120 lbs and walking the catwalk, but guess what I'm not. I'm 5'6" 140lbs, with big hips and wiping snotty noses, cleaning toilets and making dinner for my family.

My body is strong, well stronger.

I think when you've been over weight it's hard to see yourself as "skinny" .Once OP reaches her goal, she will probably be surprised how people see her. When someone refers to me as thin, it confuses me. I know I'm not over weight, but to me skinny means 100lbs. And at the same time I know that's a screwed way of thinking, but I know a lot people feel the same way.
