If you don't want people to impose a beauty standard on you that requires being a size 2, don't impose a standard on me that requires me to eat lots of junk food and like it.

FINE.

You do have issues, lady.

I have issues because I'd prefer to eat healthy and be a size I feel beautiful at, rather than eat lots of birthday cake and be heavier?

Ok ...

I guess you're part of the "real women have curves" club, which of course implicitly means that women who don't have curves are repressed and should be ostracized.

OMG YOU ARE SO TRIGGERED, JUST STOP

Not exactly. I'm not kate moss here.

I'm 5'4'' and 122 lbs. I have no interest in being able to see my ribs. I simply enjoy having a defined waistline and being able to fit nicely into my clothes. I enjoy my husband being able to easily pick me up. These things make me feel beautiful and are more important to me than eating that 2nd piece of cake.

Not really. I just find it hilarious that you all can't handle someone who admits to enjoying being thin.

+1

The thing is, for many people, to be that thin it requires constant avoidance and mental calculations. It is NOT a natural state. Yet the rest of us are expected to engage in this unless we want to be considered chunky. A size 8 IS a normal human size! It really and truly is.

Ok, but you can clearly understand why other women wouldn’t need to do this then?

She lost me at wanting her husband to be able to pick her up. WTH? Is that a thing?

[Anonymous]

Does your husband have to pick you up often, PP?

I’m only 110 but never thought to add my pick up ableness to my profile.

What world is this where birthday cake is everywhere all the time!? Is it only birthday cake that doesn’t taste as good as thin feels? Which birthday cake?

No one said eat "lots of" birthday cake.

But eating some birthday cake, sometimes? Yes.

No one said eat "lots of" anything. What we're saying is it's not healthy to say "never" to things that you like. (No, you don't have to like birthday cake.)

If you don't get the difference between eating "lots of junk food" and enjoying "sometimes foods" SOMETIMES, then you do have a skewed view. All isn't healthy; nothing isn't healthy. Balance.

That's because presumably your husband isn't a neanderthal and/or you aren't a child.

pick up ableness is important, dontcha know?

Lol, I just read something about a guy liking to pick girls up in a novel this weekend. Haven't heard of it IRL.

I’m not the size 2 pp but I do agree with her (minus the want my husband to pick me up). I rather be skinny than eat that second piece of cake. I think it’s because I’m not that in to food. My husband is a serious foodie - I’m just not. However I’m seriously into fashion and clothes. So the way things look on me is the same as the joy my husband gets when eating really good food. I’m a size 4 btw.

If her husband can’t pick up ass up with the extra 5lbs of cake weight, he needs to be lifting and working on his own fitness.

PP here. Ever heard of a man picking up a woman and twirling her around? It's fun and I enjoy DH being able to easily do that.

My issue is that you all make it out to be this empowering thing to be able to eat junk food and be bigger than the fashion industry thinks women should be. I agree it's absolutely empowering, but so is saying that I don't want to eat junk food and enjoy being at a lower weight. You don't get to call me anorexic for not wanting to celebrate sitting on the couch and downing a whole bag of chips.

Everyone should be able to define what being empowered means to them.
