Answer 2

I agree with you completely and it's not just on here either. I have always been thin and petite. I've had 4 children and I'm a size 4 but I am small boned and short. I weigh 112 right now. Before having children I weighed 100lbs soaking wet and I always ate like a pig. I just have a high metabolism. It's catching up with a little now that I am approaching 40 though and I do gain weight if I'm not careful. My husband's side of the family are all large people. I remember when we were dating I got so tired of his family (his mom, sister, aunts etc...) constantly telling me I look sick or that I need to gain some weight. If I had told them they were fat and unhealthy and needed to lose weight they would have been offended but somehow they saw it as fine to tell me I was not right even though I ate like a normal person and just happen to be a small person. I recently dieted a little because I had got up to 128 which was the most I've ever weighed and I started feeling heavy. I was a size 6/7 which is not overweight but I was at the high side of my normal weight range for my age and height. I lost 23lbs and got down to 105 (size 4). I have gained back 7 lbs now (112) and recently I saw my mother in law and she told me I was looking too thin again. UGH I'm not too thin I'm right where every BMI calculator says I should be. EDIT: Tex you say "To me though, being a size 0 or 1 is unhealthy and looks sickly. That's just my opinion. If people want to be that thin and they still eat, that's their business" Why do people assume that if someone is a size 1 it's because they want to be? Some people are simply made that way. I used to be a size 1 before I had children and I ate like a pig and never even worried or thought about my weight. Some people just have a high metabolism and are small boned. For the longest time I was mistaken for a 12 year old even when I was 19. I went to a public pool where it was $5. if you were over 12 and it was $3. under 12. I was 19 and the lady gave me back $2.! It's just the way I was built and having a very small chest doesn't help either LOL my point is people shouldn't assume that just because someone is a size 1 doesn't mean they are that way because they have tried to be by dieting or not eating enough.

Answer 3

Yes, but I think of it in different ways. I am very thin and while I was recovering from an eating disorder people made snide comments to me all the time. I had strangers tell me I looked disgusting and bony to my face, and I even had a waiter tell me to order the highest calorie dessert on the menu to fatten me up! No one would dare say those things to a fat person, and I know, because I've been fat!!!

Answer 4

No, there are more high fat products than low fat other thean natural foods and low or no sugar is mainly for diabetics. they can't eat just a little sugar

Answer 5

I agree GW.

Not being able to find a non-lowfat chocolate Nesquik pisses me right off. I need the weight and there's so many lazy fatasses in the US that I can't get enough nutrients out of my food because everything is diet.

Answer 6

I have very small parents, therefore, I am very petite, never weighed more than 90 pounds except when pregnant. Everyone thinks I have an eating disorder, and I try to explain, that this is just how I am built. But, people like to gossip, don't they?

Answer 7

I hate that you cant taste anything in the food. And there are some people out there who are actually trying to loose weight even though they are skinney becuase they think its good looking.

Answer 8

I hate those... I'm trying to gain weight.. It's kinda hard when all you can find are low fat products X(

Answer 9

No. There are the people that actually purposefully make themselves thin coz they think its 'good looking'. Then you have people who cant help but be thin genetically - I have sympathy for them.
Low fat foods helps us, little taste or not, we live in luxury these days - get used to it!

Answer 10

TOTALLY agree with Tom. If you can't accept your body the way it is or you aren't happy with yourself, it isn't good to be stupid and anorexic. Low fat foods can help people who want to lose weight, do just that. But again.. I agree with Tom 100%!
