12 stupid things skinny women are sick of hearing

Body positivity is for everyone, no matter what size you wear — and by the way, it also extends beyond weight. 

Personally, I've been plus-size all my life, so I'm no stranger to chubby girl struggles, backhanded compliments, and rude internet trolls. But what of my thinner friends? What's it like for them? 

While I know that skinny shaming definitely exists — and that being a certain size doesn't magically shield you from body image struggles — I wanted to really understand, and make known, some of the comments that you should NEVER say to a thin person. So I asked my friends, and they did not hold back. 

Here are 12 comments skinny girls never want to hear again.

“Why are you working out? You’re only going to get skinnier!”

Working out isn't just about getting skinny. It's a lifestyle! 

(It's also about getting strong and being a bad bitch.)

"You're so skinny! You should eat a burger."

Burgers are great but they aren't the solution to everything.

"Are you sick? Should we be concerned?"

Giphy

Do not say this to someone unless you really (REALLY) know them, and even then, find a better way to word it.

"You eat a lot for a skinny girl."

Giphy

Why don't you put something in your mouth so you don't say anymore stupid shit?

"You must be really weak."

YOU KNOW NOTHING.

*Eats healthy snack* “Why are you on a diet?”

Who said anything about a diet? Some people actually enjoy eating healthy snacks.

*Eats full dinner* “You sure you don’t want some more? You’re a little too skinny.”

Hmmm, last time I checked I was a fully functioning adult with the ability to know when she needs food.

“You would look so much better with a few extra pounds.”

Giphy

K thanks, I'll take that under consideration. Now let's talk about how you could look "so much better," sound good?

“You’re so skinny!”

Giphy

Thank you, captain obvious.

“That dress would look so much better if you had more curves.”

This is that moment where any children in the room should put their hands over their ears, because shit's about to pop off.

"You have the body shape of a 12-year-old boy.”

I am going to destroy you now.

*Eats big meal* “ Where does it all go?”

IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION IN BIOLOGY CLASS, ASSHOLE!
