Skinny people who think they know better...

Just asking....

Do you think shes never had a weight problem because she watches her diet and works out? I used to be a skinny gal until I wasnt, lol. Ate what I wanted and stayed thin. When I turned 28 things changed. Anyway, my point is, when I realized I had crossed over to the dark side I started to work out. I saw all the skinny girls really working out hardcore. I thought to myself "why are they here, they are skinny". I came to realize they were skinny because they were working for it and always had.

Not all skinny people work for it, like what you said happened to you. Fit people, work for it. My sister was anorexic/skinny her whole life. She never exercised or watched what she ate once, was always shoving candy and junk food down her face, then when she started taking medication for her hyperthyroidism. BAM she ignored the doctor telling her to start eating healthy, she became fat and lazy and sits there eating VLCD shakes wondering why they aren't making her look like a model. Same thing happened with my brother only his age cough up with him. Now he always says, he can't eat ice cream without his butt inflating. As well as a friend of mine who is still skinny at 35 and eats hungry jacks all day everyday and can't even go for a walk, go up a flight of stairs or lift a few KG weights without complaining its too hard. I guess we are all different.

Skinny doesn't = healthy. Which is how i looked at this. I think when looking at someone who is fit and healthy i'd take there advice over someone who is skinny just as i would take advice from someone who has lost a lot of weight and has maintained for years. Then again i don't want to be skinny. I want to be fit like an athlete again. =D

The skinny people I know eat horribly. Just this morning. Strawberry milk and doughnuts one posted. Just because someone is skinny doesnt make them healthy. THATS what I cant stand lol. I know a few who eat awful everyday. Well just bc youre skinny doesnt mean your arteries and heart are in great shape!

Oh the horror. An entire donut with milk? ...Do you know everything she eats? I only posy tasty stuff, if I post my food on FB. I guess people are assuming I'm some unhealthy skinny person who enjoys flaming hot cheetos, ice cream, and cookies. Is that all she eats? I'm assuming she eats other things. ..

If we're going off Facebook/instagram people must think I eat nothing but cookies and pie. ...not that such an assumption would be totally baseless.

Don't you just love know it all's, especially the skinny ones.

I had a fun back and forth with a guy I never met on facebook after his comment of:

"I see obese people in the lifting area, they really need to get on a treadmill".

Aw hayl naw

I firmly believe that some people just get lucky with an amazing metabolism. I've known people personally who ate ~5000 cals a day, exercised little, and stayed skinny (although whether they are healthy is debatable). Meanwhile, here I am gaining weight on a meager 1500 cals/day. I've always wondered if these lucky people know they are gifted, or if they think overweight people must all be eating 15,000 cals/day. On the flipside, the "skinny woman" mentioned by the OP may have a lifelong eating disorder and believe that the key to staying thin is limiting oneself to 500 cals/day.

As a child I very strongly believed I would hit puberty and gain mutant powers.

i also believed in santa clause, the tooth fairy, and the easter bunny

Everyone knows what has worked for them (to stay thin or to become thin), when some one tells you how they did it don't think that they are telling you what to do. Take it for what it is... an exchange of ideas, it's one more thing to try, one more idea, maybe not for today but for later when you run out of ideas.

We didn't do Santa in my house. My mom didn't want some old white man taking credit for the gifts she bought with her hard earned money.

did anyone ever "do" Santa…? I thought he was a virgin…?
