I wouldn't call personally call myself "skinny" if I'm being completely honest. NO WHERE in this post does it say that larger women don't get called names because that is completely untrue and I'm not entirely sure where you have got that from. I simply stated that people think it is okay to insult skinny people in the same way that people insult larger people and that they think it's okay to do this for some strange reason. I don't think you can say that skinny people don't struggle, when I was a size 4 because I hardly ate anything, I could barely find any clothes to fit me. I feel like you are generalising, how can you say that "skinny girls don't struggle to find clothes" because I did and I have been shouted at because of my weight. I feel like you're taking out the negative things people have said/done to you on me. I have had people say negative things to me about my weight, so I don't think you can say that "because I'm skinny, I don't hear these comments." Because I do get comments, maybe not the same ones as you but I have still received terrible, humiliating comments from people that make me feel awful. The aim of this post was to explain that it's NOT okay to comment on other people's weight because it's THEIR body and they can do what they want and look how they want. I NEVER said that no one comments on larger girls. I'm not trying to attack you at all, I just did not say that larger girls never get comments.

I understand that skinnier women do have problems with people commenting to them about their size- I get it. It sucks. No one has the right to say anything about a woman's size. But you have said no one comments about large girls? That is completely untrue! I understand that you are a skinny person, so you don't hear these comments. But I, as an overweight woman myself, get these comments all the time. I've had strangers come up to me and tell me I need to lose weight because i'm not worth the space I take up. I have been taken out of class by teachers, who have told me that I need to 'loose some weight'. I have had my family straight up restrict my diet to nearly nothing because they say i'm too fat. I've had friends stop talking to me because they don't want to be seen with someone as ugly as me. I've had students at my school call me a whale every time I eat- even though I already practically eat nothing. Don't say large women don't get called names just as much as skinny girls. I'm not saying it doesn't happen to skinny girls too, but it's not fair to say that its sooo taboo for people to say it to fat girls. Skinny girls don't have to deal with not being represented everywhere they go. Skinny girls don't have to drive an hour out of town just to find a store that sells things in their size. Skinny girls don't get laughed at at the gym, or when they're doing healthy things- because I have been laughed at for trying to become smaller. Don't think i'm attacking you, but I just don't think it's fair of you to say it's unacceptable to make fun of fat people, when I've had an entire classroom full of people staring at me in P.E. because i'm the largest kid in the room. I've had teachers use me as an example of a fat person who's a lazy slob. I've had people shove food in my face and call me a pig just to see my reaction. I've had people who are hiring for jobs turn me out and tell me that it's because i'm not skinny enough to be pretty while i'm working a cash register. It's not unacceptable to comment on a fat person's weight. It's not unacceptable at all. It doesn't matter what size you are. It's always okay for people to comment.

Personally I am about a size 10 or 12 and while I feel as though I have weight to lose because of my height I still am astounded at even myself sometimes for thinking that I am "too fat" or that I should be as small as other people. People easily forget whether big or smaller that each person is made differently and there is nothing wrong with either side! Some of my dearest friends are very thin and beautiful women who absolutely hate it when their family or someone tells them to eat more. I spend plenty of time with them and know that they eat as much as any normal person, their bodies are just different! If everyone could get to a place where they are confident with themselves and just take steps to be healthy and not judge one another. Not everyone should be the same size and weight because each body type is completely different! Really wonderful blog post. I can't wait to share it!

I have been a big girl all my life and have always had people give me sly looks and stare at me when i'm out and it isn't nice at all. I do wish that I was smaller because I feel people who are thinner get better thought of and are accepted in todays society. But, then I think, well, i'm me and I don't really care what you think about me. No one deserves anyone's negative comments towards them.

Im currently attempting to write one similar!<br />I cant even count the amount of times I've been called anorexic and told my legs are like twigs. Its such double standards. You'd never call your friend fat! Being slim doesn't mean you must love your body, I certainly don't. And I agree about the 'real woman' phrase. No one should be made to feel bad about their body no matter what shape or size they are. x<br />http://britishbeautygeek.blogspot.co.uk/Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499015838678072064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80215966623209986.post-7031706975008565002012-12-11T12:36:31.619+00:002012-12-11T12:36:31.619+00:00I really love his its totally true, weight should ...I really love his its totally true, weight should not matter and the same should go for really skinny people as it does for overweight people, some people really struggle with weight and its not their fault, others it is their fault.

You wouldn't ask an overweight person if people ask them if they are obese because they look it! People seem to think it's okay to be rude to slimmer people but if you said mean things to overweight people it would be unacceptable. I agree that people should just focus on themselves and not others so much and not be rude or mean to anyone about their weight. xxxBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09732550907130371649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80215966623209986.post-29633225034352234252012-12-11T11:00:46.646+00:002012-12-11T11:00:46.646+00:00I couldn't agree more, it's downright disr...I couldn't agree more, it's downright disrespectful to judge ANYONE on their size. Its all down to your genetics, or lifestyle. I'm really glad you've written this post, because it needs to be said. I've tried to stop buying magazines as much as I can now, and relying on blogs instead to get fashion and beauty news because they just make me feel bad. If it isn't about size then it's about "you NEED these jeans" or something.<br /><br />Great post! :) xAmanda Johanssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214207181858244107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80215966623209986.post-90912312900374962702012-12-11T10:45:09.315+00:002012-12-11T10:45:09.315+00:00This is a great post!
I am so glad you wrote this...This is a great post! <br />I am so glad you wrote this because its literally what I always wanted to say!<br />I am very slim and its genetically. I can try to put on weight as much as possible but it doesn't budge. People need to realize that even 'skinny' people can be very conscious of their body. And if you are size 12, 14 etc that's completely fine and by no means makes you over weight! The 'real woman have curves' slogan is VERY annoying! I can't stand it. Women are all equal. <br /><br />This is a lovely post!<br />Hareem xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916773974052684966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80215966623209986.post-79906924249303336682012-12-11T10:10:16.859+00:002012-12-11T10:10:16.859+00:00I'm quite slim and I've been called all di...I'm quite slim and I've been called all different things from "You need to start eating properly" to being called "Anorexic". It's just as hurtful as someone calling someone "fat". People tend to think it's not hurtful and think it's okay to say these things! <br />I wished everyone stopped thinking all these "small" sizes like 4, 6 and 8 were disgusting and actually thought maybe this person and their body is comfortable at this weight. I've been the same weight for years and it's very hard for me to gain weight, that's just who I am.<br />I'm glad people write posts like this to make others aware of this problem :) xxx<br /><br />http://belle-amiebeauty.blogspot.co.uk/Amie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267388343593455069noreply@blogger.com
