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.

Ooh! Embarrassing anecdote time! [ignores groans]

I'd been suffering from terrible bloating and stomach pains so I went to the doctor. I complained to him how bloated I would get, that it was ridiculous, and I lifted my shirt and showed him. Now, I'm 5'6" and 119 pounds (168cm and 64kg for those in the metric) and a regular size (about Kate Winslet size) so he just took one look at my stomach like I was nuts and went "Huh?"

"Look! Look at that! My stomach looks huge! I look pregnant!"

"... Looks perfectly normal to me."

"It's not, trust me, it's not! I'm much thinner than this usually!"

It was at that moment that I realised I'd probably come off as just a leeeetle neurotic. But then again, I have a better idea of what my midriff usually looks like than my doctor does.
