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

[info]isolationista: There's really nothing wrong with preferring to be skinny.
[info]jade_faith: They also said there was nothing wrong with antidepressants, until the suicides started popping up.

And they're off! Look out for [info]blasphemae implying that "underweight!=skinny". And then "underweight=skinny", a few posts later!

Please, no fatbashing.

My tolerance for people bitching about their weight is oh, zero.

Nobody is perfect. I'm not here to boost your esteem, if you think you're too fat then do something about it, if you don't, then don't.

Stop bitching about it.

You would not believe how hard a concept that is for some people to learn. Me included.

Yes, we all have issues, I don't have a weight issue because most foods which are high in fat make me sick and so I lose more weight eating junk food but with the fun of feeling like crap.

So I don't eat fatty foods. And then I get the 'you should eat, you're so thin all the time, and I'm tired of explaining that actually, no, eating that bit of chocolate or muffin you're shoving in my face isn't because I'm worried about my weight, but because I'll be in bed for two days with stomach pains'.

Or the worst bit is when people who haven't seen me for years say 'wow, you look so great' and that makes me feel weird.

So now, I'm just over talking about diet, or food, and hearing about other people's obesity problems because I'm sorry, but life sucks and we're all in the same boat with how sucky that is.
