Skinny/fit people

salembambi

I couldn't care less if someone is skinny, fit, fat...whatever. I just don't like people. If I'm glaring, it's because I was dragged from my home and forced to be social. haha

I feel this on a very deep level

Calling overweight people "fat" is harsh.

But....Everyone gets judged no matter what weight you are so you might as well get used to it and learn to love yourself because then it won't matter what other people think of you. Right?

lol this has gotten ridiculous. Just because I don't want to be "skinny"? I agree with uglyandold. It doesn't matter if people call me fat because it's something I'm working on. I still think it's a harsh word though. It doesn't matter who it's coming from.

That's silly, it's not an opinion when it's against her.

It's harsh, but talking down on others isn't. Gotcha.

Where in my posts have I said it isn't harsh? People can take offense to it if they want. I can see where others are coming from and I respect their opinions but I honestly didn't mean it to offend anyone. And I also wasn't trying to make myself better than anyone.

But you did exactly that - you don't like being called fat don't call people with a different body type than you "little girl twig bodies" its just as harsh and mean as calling someone fat. If its not right for someone to do it to you, then its not right for you to do it to someone else. You are perfectly capable of saying "I love my body. I love my curves" without putting down someone else because they are not built the same way as you.

Dirty looks? Maybe they were just squinting because they had sun in their eyes. Unless someone said something to you directly, I wouldn't assume they hate you. Maybe the "resting b*tch face" is just their normal look.

You flat out said that you prefer a more womanly curvy body than a little girl twig body. SO yea, that makes it seem like you're saying you're more womanly than others.

Also, you can't say something is harsh, right after you said something that's probably worse. How is it harsh to call someone fat, when they're fat? That's like saying it's harsh to call me a guy because I'm a guy.

I said that's the kind of body I want and what I'm working towards. Right now I have a fat body and I'm oh so jealous of skinny people:laugh:

I would rather have a womanly body with curves in all the right places rather than a little girl twig body.

Yea, no idea where anyone could get the idea that you're saying a curvy body is more "womanly" than a skinny body.

What if I told you everyone knows you're trolling?

Not all "fat" people are jealous of skinny people. I personally never want to be skinny..I think it's unattractive. I would rather have a womanly body with curves in all the right places rather than a little girl twig body.

not all "skinny" people look like little girl twig bodies, for the record. But, I do agree that not all bigger people are jealous of smaller people. I have never once assumed people were jealous of me.

That's true. But like I said I didn't mean to offend anyone but I can see I did and if I could delete my posts I would. Thank you for your respectful comment. It's much more preferable to the sarcasm everyone has come at me with.

Good:
"I want to keep some boobs and booty and not get to a low body fat percentage. This is the look I prefer."

Bad:
"I want to keep my curves and don't want to be a skinny twig girl."


This first is stating a preference in a way that doesn't insult those that do not fit your preference. The second insults women who are naturally thing and don't have much in the boobs and booty department.

Instead of getting defensive that someone has pointed this out to you, try to open your mind and learn. I myself had been guilty of "body shamming" before I really realized I was doing it. I now try to be better.

"little girl twig body"

Hm. I wonder why people would EVER think that they're being judged because they're skinny.

Everyone gets judged no matter what weight you are so you might as well get used to it and learn to love yourself because then it won't matter what other people think of you.

Learning to love yourself is not the same thing as talking down on others.

This whole post is talking down on others. Calling overweight people "fat" is harsh. There are much kinder words that could be used. What kind of person makes a post because "fat" people are staring at them because they're "skinny"? Someone that needs to get over themself. And me saying that I don't want a "little girl twig body" is my own opinion. Some people like that body type, but I don't. I was stating my opinion as a "fat" person since the poster was wondering why "fat" people are so jealous.

OP wasn't right, but neither were you. You were both body shaming.

I'm all for loving curves! Loving all bodies! I think we don't realize what we say sometimes.

Oh trust me, I will learn from this.

How about nobody giving anybody else disparaging looks or remarks due to their appearance?

I know when I was big I would stare at skinny people and wonder what they tasted like dipped in bbq sauce....

Me thinky OP is a tad bit full of herself. :laugh:

No one is looking at you! And if they are WORK. THAT. *kitten*. You obviously have something they want.

I, personally, am a fat/curvy girl and I have tons of thin friends and I am not jealous because we all have something to offer. They look better in a bathing suit and I look better in a dress! :laugh: The goal is to love yourself no matter what! And if you're feeling self conscious maybe it's time you change something (preferably that big ol' head because I repeat, ain't nobody lookin' at you!) :laugh:

GEEZ.

Whale whale whale what do we have here?

A delusional fat person who thinks people with a lower bf can't have curves, oh gawd pls stahp.
