no fatties
In stupid_free, there's a post about a girl who is 5'4" and 90lbs, fishing for compliments in

isolationista: There's really nothing wrong with preferring to be skinny.

jade_faith: They also said there was nothing wrong with antidepressants, until the suicides started popping up.

And they're off! Look out for

blasphemae implying that "underweight!=skinny". And then "underweight=skinny", a few posts later!

Please, no fatbashing.

	Also, when you tell them that you keep losing weight no matter what you do, and you think you're too thin, being told, "I wish I had that problem," is also not helpful? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And when you tell them that the problem is chronic nausea, the correct response is not "Hah, right - you're a skinny young girl, so you obviously have an eating disorder and are lying to cover it up! We're going to put you in an institution and force-feed you until you're sick!" I hate the medical industry so much. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Awesome story about asshat doctors! I won't go into why I was rapidly losing weight, because it involves bodily functions and is icky, but suffice it to say that I was very sick. I pointed out to my doctor how much I had lost (I'm a fatty, btw) and he said "Well, why do you want to get better, then? Sounds like it's working as a very good diet plan!"

... got a new doctor, STAT.
