When I was too skinny, I was told I was too skinny and to eat more. when I gained weight, I was told I was getting fat and need to eat less, when I lost weight and got ripped I was told to take it easy and not work my body so hard. Lost all that muscle after I stopped working out and am back to being skinny, people tell me I’m too skinny and need to eat more, mind you I’m 147 lbs 5’10 or 11ish. It’ll always be something.
The problem is society makes it seem like being too skinny is ok when it’s also a problem. Obese or overweight people already know their weight isn’t healthy, society reminds them every day and they even become a physical nuisance to some people. But people that are too skinny should also do something about their weight. Granted they shouldn’t be asked why don’t you eat more directly either but being too skinny isn’t healthy either and people that are need to be told (by drs, family) that they
Need to do something about their weight/ muscle mass so that they're not just skin and bones, this is as unhealthy as someone who is obese. It's not fair (for their own good even because they're truly not healthy) that only one end of the extremes gets reprimanded by society & not the other. Of course both need to be told in appropriate ways but BOTH need to be advised and told by the appropriate people to get healthy. Why did people need to get told that it wasn't ok for people to make comments
About overweight people's bodies but people commenting on too-skinny people's bodies suddenly has people crying and wailing? It's pure double morality. Both extremes are bad and both need to be told so by health professionals and at most people close and dear to them, and BOTH and actually everyone deserves to not have randoms talking to them about their body.
