Skinny girls are people toooooooo.

I just took a peek at your profile. You're striving to be ninety-nine pounds. What an awesome goal. How healthy.

This right here is exactly what OP is talking about.

So what if her goal is weigh 99 pounds? Thats her ideal.. and maybe it's not yours but you still shouldn't say anything about it.

To OP:
Your point was demonstrated perfectly in the post above.

Leave people alone and worry about you.

LOL.

it can be a bit annoying, especially when your BMI is in the health range. mine is 22, and i get some "too thin" comments sometimes. not too many, though; most people are pretty supportive.

You're a man and for me that is very relevant--I'd probably be one of the "too thin" commenters.

I don't know, whenever I want to help someone I try to tell someone—who is not the person I intend to help—about my motivations in snide remarks in a setting in which that person would not have heard me.

It's how I roll.

I have not read all the responses yet. DISCLAIMER OVER.

It's okay because lots of fat people are insecure and want to lash out at the reverse.

But really. There just isn't enough awareness. We push not to make fun of fat people. We push not to make fun of varying sexual tastes (I push for people not to TALK about their sexual preferences period. I don't need to know! :P ). We push not to make fun of those with disabilities. We push not to make fun of different races and cultures.

We don't push to respect all body shapes.
We don't push to respect PEOPLE, period.

I think the whole awareness thing has become too specific. I think we should just teach people not to be mean *kitten*. That might work better then all these other awareness campaigns.

I'm chiming in here because of my MIL. She is VERY petite as in can still wear junior's jeans! My SIL and I were both overweight and whenever we discussed how hard it was,etc. she would always chime in with how hard it is to be so skinny and small. People say things to her that really make her angry and her exact argument has always been why is it ok to point out how small I am but It's not ok for me to point out how big someone else is? It's been really hard on her!
