Description
I no longer feel this way, but I did go through a stage where my metabolism was fast and I was very skinny dispite my (really) fat diet.I recieved lots of comments at school like "do you eat?" and I was called names.
I am keeping this up for all of you who feel the way I did, or can relate to this image.
Nirrimi.

Most anorexics are obese. The media is not presenting the true image. Fashion models are chosen out of girls that are naturally think not matter how much they eat because it's easier to make clothes for them. Ask a tailor or a seamstress and they will say that making clothes for a curvy woman (not fat or overweight) is going to be a lot harder than for skinny woman. It also saves materials.

omg I had the exact same problem because depression made me lose a lot of weight and then my fast metabolism kept it off no matter what I ate. people are such asshats.

I feel like this all the time, people think they are giving you compliments by pointing out how skinny you are, you get tired of it after a while.

I can relate to this...not *now* as I'm in the exact opposite weight issue, but as a preteen I was skinny and called toothpick and everything else, and it's not fun. I didn't have an eating issue when I was told it was my lack of body fat that was messing with my systems and everything. Then came high school when emotions blew everything out of proportion and I did start having the issues because of the fact that some people are outright cruel.

to all who think comments are rude so you know it goes either way as stated before..... I am overweight and I love my curves but I would like to have a thinner waistline and nice flat tummy...... but I am who I am and I guess you are who you are and be happy about it

Talk about double standards, right? Not 'skinny'-->called fat. Anywhere near 'skinny'-->called anorexic or bulimic, etc. Either way-->Oh, she has a disorder, we should talk to her about it. When will people realize that not everyone is the same? I can eat whatever and not gain a pound and my friend can eat nothing and gain five....because we're two different people. It's just that simple.
So yeah, I really like this piece and can sympathize plenty. I go through rather regular phases regarding my weight, but I'm normally on the lower end of the BMI scale. And it has no relation to how much I eat. La verdad.

I really like this, it's really unique. In fact, I'm quite the opposite. I don't eat nearly as much as my friends do and yet I'm not what you would call 'skinny'

I can totally relate I'm 34 now and still get picked for being skinny.

Me parece bastante interesante esa situaciΓ³n por la que pasaste, pareciera que se volviΓ³ muy comΓΊn encasillar a la gente delgada como "enferma", como si padecieran algΓΊn trastorno de imΓ‘gen, alimenticio o ambos. Comer es la cosa mΓ‘s fantΓ‘stica del mundo... supongo que una dura caracterΓstica del ser humano es hacer de las cosas mΓ‘s fantΓ‘sticas y bellas un vicio.

I'd rather be asked if I eat rather than called fat. :\

I like it. No, I love it. I'm very big on making statements through art, especially photography and body art.

my friend is the same way, she eats a TON every day...but remains like a stick. she got made fun of and called names throughout middle school and highschool, and it was really tough. :/ Great photo!

That must have been very tough people always commenting on how thin you were.
I am just glad you had the constitution to write on your nice flat stomach, desaturate it, and post in on DA.
Grats on the 1200 favs.

i have two siblings. both have very efective motabilisums and are slim and skinny. always have been and they do eat. alot.
me on the other hand i mearly have to look at food and i gain weight.
i DID actually breifly have an eating disorder. i'm all better now. but i still have bad days. but heres the thing. my sister has been (spitefully) called a skinny bitch several times and my brother sometimes gets teasd for being so toned.
yes people are often disrespectful of overly fat people but those who are not skinny will be just as disrespectfulof those that are naturally skinny.
i like you photo because it reminds me of a friend of mine.

I have a fast metabolism at the moment. Everyone keeps asking me why I don't eat, but it's hard to explain to them I DO eat, I just don't put on weight like I do. The only people that beleive me are my family and my closest friends...but that's probably because they've seen me eat a chocolate sundae, triple cheeseburger and medium fries, and want food two hours later.

I totally went through an anorexia stage, and I'm only just getting over it now... :<
Lovely picture, it really speaks to me :>

I know what you mean...
I've been on the skinny side all my life and never had much of a problem with that until anorexia became know and kind of... popular in my area.
It's not really the other students at school that gave me the headache but the teachers and even the doctors. One doctor was like "You know that every fifth person with your weight dies?" which of course referred to people who don't provide the substances their bodys need. But I got sicker and sicker of it.
I'm glad my parents trust and support me. If I feel hungry, I have to eat within the next half an hour or I'll get dizzy. Clothes usually don't fit unless you buy them from special brands at higher prices. I got used to huge trousers and a belt. I can't wear rings because they're like hula hoops to my fingers.
Keeps eating, sister

story of my life.
i'm in highschool right now.
it's like people have a one track mind and can't get it into their heads that im not TRYING to be skinny.
i have horrible eating and exercise habits and yet i'm 5'5" and exactly 100 lbs.
i like this picture, A LOT. the toning and black and white just add to the message. it's the type of picture i'd expect to see in a magazine campaigning about eating habits and stereotypes.
either way, i think its very VERY good.

Well, the fingernails almost penetrating your skin tells it all: agression! Truculency!
They got you that far. I understand. Not only pupils are a pain in the ass sometimes. But there are times even the teachers seem to go with the flow. Yeah: that's when we like life, don't we?
Glad to hear your got over it... message to the target people: keep fighting!

God! people get picked on when they're too thin, and people get picked on when they're too fat. what the hell is wrong with people!.
I suppose i know how you felt. (although i was picked on(or whatever you want to call it) cause i was (and still am (but fine with it now)) fat)
Very neat pic by the way, inspired this big-little rant
