I find it extremely annoying! First meet ups especially, they ll always have a habit of highlighting how skinny I am and how I shd eat more blah blah blah...
There s such a thing as high metabolism and Im a great eater but I simply cant gain weight. Whats the big deal abt being skinny? geez..

Its seriously not wonderful and as some of you here mentioned, I even dont tell overweight ppl they are fat! When it happens all your life, it really gets on to you! ;/

Same problem here too. Everyone has to comment on how skinny I look, always saying I should eat more. I eat 7 times a day and gain little or no weight. But I guess they are just jealous that they are not as skinny or look as good as you do, that they need to try to insult you to make their fat selfs just a little bit content before they go stuff their faces at a buffet.

Those are just rude folks!
I have a friend in the same boat, can't gain weight no matter how hard he tries.
And, you are right, it is not acceptable to tell a person that they are too fat and should lose weight.
I can't think of a polite way for you to deal with them.
Sorry that people are jerks.

I was skinny until I had my second child , then my metabolism changed, sure wish it hadn't. My husband is skinny, eats like a horse, he has a high metabolism. He and I both hear about him being skinny. They tell me to feed him better, etc. If they just see him eat. He had his thyroid checked too, all okay. There is nothing wrong with being skinny, just keep being you.

I used to be overweight, and people would tell me that I needed to lose weight and that it was unhealthy. I finally lost the weight, and now the same people are telling me that I am too thin and it is unhealthy...I wish they would make up their freakin' minds!!!
If you did gain weight they would probably not be satisfied. They would start telling you that you were gaining too much! Just be happy and don't listen to those idiots.

I know what you mean! People say that to me aswell. I wish people would keep comments to themselves. I don't tell people that they are fat slobs that should go on a diet.Maybe I should. That would show them!!!

I get that all the time, but I'd rather than have someone yelling at me to loose weight.

Just say, "why thank you," and change the subject. It's not like they are calling you ugly.
