Thin.....is it bad?

Question

I am a little on the thin side. I wear like a size one in jeans, and im about 5'6 and about 105 lbs. I used to get compliments about being thin, but now everyone is always telling me to eat more, and they always ask me why im so skinny. Its not my fault! I eat like a horse, and I excersise and all that. But now noone, especially guys even like me because of my thinness, whats going on? I want to be pretty again......Not being called anorexic!

Answer 1

based on the third-to-last sentence "guys even like me because of my thinness", I'd say you're not thin; you're slender! and slender AWESOME! Those people telling you to eat more should stuff it, especially if you eat like a horse. but keep exercising; high matabolism doesn't last.

Answer 2

If you eat healthy and exercise, and this is your natural weight, then of course it's not bad, dear. It's just genetic - some people are meant to be on the heavy side and some, like you, are meant to be on the light side. It has very little to do with being "pretty" and nothing at all to do with whether people like you, so don't worry about it.

Just tell people you're happy and healthy the way you are, and this is your natural weight.

Remember, 99% of what people do is about *them*, not you - they are talking as if THEY had your body (ie, since they don't have your genetics, the only way they could be that skinny is if they were anorexic, sick, not eating, etc). They are thinking about it from their perspective, not yours, and you need to remind them of that.

Answer 3

Thin is NOT bad, okay? And if people don't like you because you're thin, they're the ones with issues, not you. Just be yourself, all right? Excellent! Now go and see if you can meet some guys on the running trail.
