I don't want to know how many times I have been told to "Go eat a pie"! I get called anorexic, but I eat A LOT of food - especially chocolate. People can't help it if they are a naturally big or small build, just as they can't help it if they are short or tall! When people say "It's all about personality", it applies to thin people too, which some people just do not understand.

true. in a world where most ppl are obsessed w/ losing weight, alot of ppl also forget that thin ppl are also abused equally like fatty bumbums

skinny peeps are more discriminated against in Nigeria. when i was real skinny, i couldn't find jeans that fit, bracelets and rings kept falling off etc. it has it's perks tho', people thinks you're wayyy younger than your age

Yeah, in nigeria before u can pass off as good looking, u'v got 2 have some flesh!
I know this first hand cos i'm quite skinny. D only way i ever get complimented is 'oh, u look great! looks like u are adding some weight'
when i go shopping, i can only drool at some clothes that i can't wear like tube/tiny strapped dresses/tops, full-lenghted leggings/jeggins.
And i know if i were outside nigeria, i'll prolly get away with wearing them.
It makes me sad, rily

but I eat A LOT of food - especially chocolate

Well, no surprises here. Chocolate consists mainly of Milk fat and simple sugars. This will not necessarily make you fat, unless it is contributing to excess calories. If your daily minimum calorific intake consists mainly of chocolate, it will make you unhealthy, but NOT fat!

good one about the chocolates

i think it is sort of worse in nigeria esp where most people are on the "it must come with flesh" wagon not knowing that just as its hard for those who are fat find it hard to lose weight likewise thin ppl find it even more harder in many instances to gain and maintain the weight

Either you are thin or fat, the most important is to Bleep,people will always complain irrespective what body shame you got

trust walestar to make the thread about bleep
