I hate that people think skinny means underweight. You can most certainly be skinny and at a healthy weight. I think people mean lean when they say skinny and that’s is definitely achievable without not eating.

i would say a majority of people do think that skinny means a healthy weight, it's the very rare few that associate being underweight as skinny and that's the only definition, but that doesn't mean everyone thinks that skinny means underweight

Makes sense. I’m just frustrated at seeing online backhanded comments under skinny girls’ videos like “Do you still have your period??” “Do you even eat” “You can eat you know” etc etc. Like I’m built like these girls and so much goes into maintaining this physique (diet, exercise) & I’ve had my fair share of time struggling with disordered eating and am at a healthy weight with a small frame and lean physique but I still get comments from irls even saying like “Food is overrated” “I didn’t eat”
