If we shouldn’t ask obese ppl “why don’t you lose weight?” Then asking things such as “You’re too skinny” “why don’t you eat more?” to skinny ppl should also be stopped

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.

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.

Same here but it’s usually bigger people lol, I’m a male btw so the societal pressure is probably not as bad. Ignore people for the most part, but listen to your doctor, eat healthy, and stay active
