[quote=Anonymous][quote=MarleySkye840]I agree with the person who said we rehash this at least every 2 months.

However, there are often people at the gym who do look scary skinny, but I know that I do not know their story. I don't want people judging me when I have a pack of oreos in my cart amongst fresh meat and produce, and I do not judge those who look like they are "too" thin.

I have a friend who runs a lot (not in 5ks but just for fun) she has a disorder where she cannot gain over about 110. She looks SUPER thin and of course to see her jogging through the park, you would think that she is starving herself and is an anorexic. In actuality she can out- eat her husband who is 6'5, 310. The fact is that you don't know that story and thin shaming is just as bad as fat shaming.[/quote]

While I appreciate what you're saying, there's a huge difference between someone who weighs a health 110 lbs and an anorexic who weighs 80.

It's not about judging, it's about trying to save someone's life. I would never judge someone's struggles, but it would kill me to think I could have helped them and they died because I didn't even try.[/quote]
