NP. I wouldn’t say you’re a “fatass” (such a vulgar term) but I’m 5’8” and 110 and I am slender but nowhere near emaciated. I can only imagine I would look a bit thick at this weight half a foot shorter.

Whoa - that's some really disordered thinking.

Right? In what world is someone who is 5'2 and 110 pounds "a bit thick"? I'm also 5''2 and 110. I wear a size 0 and am routinely told how "tiny" I am.

Pp who is 5'8 and 110, I am quite certain you look like skeletor and people you know speculate that you probably have an eating disorder.

There are naturally slender people. It is unkind to call someone skeletal .

5'2 and 110 pounds is "slender." The Pp who is 5'8 and 110 is not only rude but probably looks like she is ill.

Agreed. 5’6” and slim here. To the anorexic morons here, proudly posting grossly underweight stats: you wear your mental illness like a badge of honor. Don’t f-ck up your daughters (too late, probably) and get some goddamned therapy.

This is what I am talking about. I was naturally really thin until I hit my forties, 5'11" and 120 to 125 in my 20s which is an average of 17 BMI. I ate healthfully, did not overeat but ate what I wanted. I have a very small build and was naturally thin. I was not a moron and did not need therapy. I am now 165, not at all fat but feel I could lose 10 lbs.

It was people like you that made me feel ugly.

+1 Thanks for accusing me of mental illness. I eat more than most women I know. This is just my body. Good to know you're judging, tho.

Lots of good advice here. One more for instant and absolutely free results - maintain excellent posture. So many people forget about it. Makes you look more slender, taller and of course, more confident.

I'm 5'9'', 115lbs, and have been since college. I'm not sick, or anorexic, or anything else. It's just how I'm built. My whole family is built similarly - long, lean, and narrow. I may not have the "ideal" body type based on whatever completely constructed and subjective beauty standards there are out there, but my body is valid. Please stop with the body-shaming.

You’re the one who started the mud-slinging by calling someone the same weight but shorter than you “thick”, so stop with playing the victim.

You’re tiny in America, especially flyover country. You aren’t tiny in a wealthy part of the US.

Hmm I live in the slimmest state in USA and at 117 and 5’5 everyone calls me tiny here.

Hmm well nearly 20% of the population in your “slim” state is obese and an even larger percentage is overweight so being called “tiny” doesn’t hold much weight (ha!) given who you’re being compared to.

What are you supposed to wear to the park if not jeans and a tee shirt?

I like how this person dresses. She mostly wears dresses and skirts but even when she's wearing jeans, she still wears jewelry and no tennis shoes.

It's funny you bring her up. She is always at the beach wearing uncomfortable sandals and a dress that looks like you'd lose your mind if you got any sand on it. It's a cute look but also seems like she's pretending to be an elderly Kennedy! (I like that look on her - elderly Kennedy cosplay - but I think for most people who get dirty or sandy or want to actually be able to go for a walk while they're out on vacation, it's not a very practical look.)

I think it must be exhausting to constantly curate your life for cute IG photos. Feels a bit suffocating and joyless.

NP here. There are a lot of naturally thin people commenting in this thread and feeling rightfully offended by the rude comments of others. But I think the reaction is coming from the fact that there are many many threads on DCUM in which disordered eating is praised and in which people seem to be obsessed with how tiny they could become.

Not to mention the many threads in which someone will mention feeling attractive at their average weight, and someone immediately chimes in with “you’re not that thin” or disputes that a PP at X height and weight could possibly wear a size 4 as they claim.

The large volume of comments like these create a difficult and skeptical environment on here for the naturally slim.

Yeah - that's how it feels to me, too. I wonder what it is actually like if this is how you earn your living. I guess any job has its tedious and joyless moments.

And what state do you live in that everyone is so stick skinny?
