Do You Want To Look Delicate?

not to say things on main but it’s kinda fucked up that the mockery and torment of fat people, especially fat kids, is still considered socially acceptable

Why ‘Naturally skinny’ is BULLSHIT

I keep seeing people say how jealous they are of people who seem like they can eat whatever the fuck they like and not gain any weight. I’m going to tell you that 99% of the time it’s all bullshit. This post is long and idk who needs to hear this, BUT I know for a fact that people who say “I eat a lot but don’t gain weight” don’t just have a ‘fast metabolism’. Either:

secretly have an ED

I (and maybe even you) have definitely used this excuse before, so why can’t they?

they actually overestimate how much they eat

Look, my skinny friend (6 feet tall and 150) used to always claim that she ate *so* much but couldn’t gain weight, but I observed her for a week at lunch and noticed she’d take a huge af plate of food, but everytime she took a bite out of something and she didn’t like it she’d leave it and not touch it again. She’d never end up finishing even 1/3 of her plate, but she’d think she ate a lot just because she’d taken a lot, but didn’t really.

they do a shit load of sports and walking

I’m on holiday in Italy right now and I noticed most people my age are really skinny even though the food here is super rich and calorie dense. Why? This place is REALLY hilly and you have to walk everywhere to get to where you want to go. In fact that’s how I lost 15 pounds last year even though I literally ate pasta and ice cream every day. So of course the locals are going to be skinnier than average. If your ‘naturally skinny’ friend walks long distances every day or plays a lot of sports then they’re probably underestimating how many calories they’re burning.

they smoke/vape excessively

Everyone knows that nicotine makes your metabolism faster and lowers your appetite, in fact most people lose about 20lbs after starting. Your friend might reach for a cig or a vape when they’re hungry instead of a snack and just end up eating less overall. Loads of people who smoke have compared the feeling after to that of eating a meal.

They have low muscle mass

Loads of teenage boys complain that they can’t gain weight even though all they do is sit and play video games all day (look, I know boys tend to weigh less than girls on average anyway) When you think about it, although that doesn’t burn many calories, it’s not toning the muscles either. Fat weighs more than muscle which could mean their weight is low but that’s just because all that’s on them is fat.

they have a medical condition called hyperthyroidism

SO many people who think they have a ‘fast metabolism’ actually end up being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which is the actual cause of it. Especially if they have lost a lot of weight for no reason. That’s the only way you could have a fast metabolism, and people tend to not get it checked because they think they were just born that way. Or they might just have a tapeworm ☺️

or they are just a little kid.

Many kids, but not all kids, are skinny af. This is because of a combination of having more energy to run around and play (like my 9 and 11 y o cousins) and not having gone through puberty yet. For example, of your friend is a girl who is super skinny with a ‘cereal box’ body type she probably will gain weight later in life. It’s a matter of time really, wether it’s when they’re 20 or 40. My mom was like this and people thought she was anorexic when she was in her twenties but it didn’t last forever and now it’s hard for her to lose weight.

So yeah tldr, people who think they’re naturally skinny most of the time just overestimate how much they eat. If they’re actually eating that much, however, it’s probably a thyroid condition or a lack of activity. I just really wanted to put this out there so maybe someone could see it and feel better.

Logic

Me: So one cookie?

Anorexia: Not if you want to be skinny

Anxiety: What if you want more after one?

Depression: it’s not like you’ll be able to loose weight anyway, might as well eat all the cookies

Logic: You’ve already burned off all the calories you’re going to eat from that one cookie, it’s not going to do anything to you except maybe make you a little bloated-

Me: SKinNi NOW

This is??? So sweet??? Fuck that family tho tbh
