but man oh man can i chow down. I mean yes i am skinny but im not anorexic or anything im just under 5'9" and i way 130 lbs. but i have little to no fat because i have a lot of muscle from playing multiple sports. and trust me its not like im looking to lose weight, its actually the opposite im trying to get up to 135 so i dont get pushed around as easily during soccer games. The thing is people often are like "god you're soooooo skinny", then i ask them "how much do you think i weigh?" usually their answer is in the 110-115 range. i just laugh and say sorry youre about 20 pounds off i weigh 130. they act all suprised and im like jeeze im not freakin anorexic! i eat i promise! i fell judged because of my frail appearance.

I am 54 yo and have been skinny all my life no matter how much I eat. People used to say things like that to me all the time. Over time I learned to ignore them. If you are healthy and feel good just be happy and ignore stupid people.

I feel you kiddo.
I have Crohn's disease which makes it pretty much impossible to gain weight, I can eat whatever I want without having to worry about it, and I am 5'8" and weigh 108 lbs. I eat like crazy, but it doesn't matter, nothing happens. I run track and cross-country so I have some muscle so I don't look that frail.
I hate all of the comments I get about my size. When people say that they wish they were my size I say, "I have a flipping disease! This is not normal! You don't want to go through what I do to be this size!" And surprizingly, some people say that they would.
I had a friend freshman year who was jealous because all of the time people would say I should be a model because of my size and she told everyone that I was anorexic. People were seriously coming up to me with cookies and stuff telling me to eat. Needless to say we are not friends anymore!

maureen as your cousin i'm gonna say this
be freaking thankful u are skinny. i would rather have people say "God ur skinny" than be the girl who is on the borderline between fat and healthy. u know you eat so why does it matter what people say. u can walk around in ur bathing suit at the pool and beach w/o having to suck it in. u shouldnt care what peopl say. they are jelous of you and your bod so dont be so unhappy and be thankful like previous people have said.
love always,
kri

You should eat 3 times a day.Don't eat Junk food.People who are skinny say junk food makes them mormal but it makes you unhealthy.So start off with fruits and more meat and vegetables.And start getting more servings.

If other people judge you by your appearance that is their problem. As long as you are healthy and happy what does it matter what they think.
