Answers:

its all about genetics. people judge others in the most stupid of ways sometimes. my small waist looks smaller because of my hip size and vise versa, but they are actually proportionate. its just becasue i have no boobs lol. big deal if you're skinny; you're eating healthy. and, you might get offered a modeling job, and you wont end up being one of the girls that have to starve themselves and end up passing out on stage! theres always an upside :D



Well there is naturally skinny where the person has always been small and then there is unnaturally skinny where the person forces themselves down to a low weight. So if you are naturally skinny that's fine. It's the people who go on super restrictive calorie diets and become obsessed with being skinny that are unhealthy.

But just ensure you consume enough calories, 3 meals a day with a snack in between could be 1200 calories or 2000 calories.



Being anorexic or bulimic is unhealthy.

Being obese is unhealthy and puts a person at risk for a variety of diseases.

Being skinny when eating properly can be a sign of an underlying condition, such as hyperthyroidism or an overactive adrenal gland. Skinny people are also at increased for osteoporosis later in life. Otherwise, being skinny is less of a big deal than obesity or an eating disorder.

If you are truly eating healthy, then I don't see a problem.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Ah.. I remember my teenage years when I could eat whatever and was still really tiny. Those days are gone for me though, and I miss them. :)



It's what thicker girls say to make themselves feel better, it's perfectly fine.

There's pretty much a saying for every insecurity lol, that is to make you feel better.



You just have a fast metabolism.My niece is very thin ,yet eats regular meals every day.



people automatically associate being skinny with eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia



America is fat. As long as you are healthy and feel good about yourself you're fine. Enjoy making tubby jealous ;)
