Skinny Shaming Exists

A blog dedicated to educating those that Skinny Shaming exists and is not ok. We don't support any kind of body shaming and we don't support unhealthy life styles that could lead to an individual becoming over/underweight. Not supporting obesity is like not supporting cancer, it doesn't mean you dislike cancer patients!

I know I've been very slow with inbox replies (I've got a job and used my free time to visit friends and relax) but I will get through them all!

You're not alone at all!💜 And thank you 💜

So I have always been really thin, but lately I have managed to gain a little weight. I am still thin, but my hips and thighs are a little wider. So now I still have the "eat a hamburger" and "why are you so skinny?" Comments, but people have also told me that I have big hips and such. I don't know why, as I am still far thinner than average at 5"9 and 110lbs. But I get both and makes me really insecure. Thank you so much for making this blog it helps me feel better about body. <3

People will say you have "big hips" when what they mean is that you have a good waist to hip ratio! So small waist that makes your hips look larger :) it's a good trait to have. Ignore the haters. Your body sounds great. If your weight gain mostly goes to your hips and thighs, and little on the waist, it gives you that feminine curve while also being slender :) ❤️

i was getting a taxi to my favourite restaurant yesterday and the taxi driver asked if the food was nice. i said "yeah, i love the steak!" and without even a little hesitation, he replied "really??? you don't look the type to be eating steaks. not with your weight anyway."

Break the stereotypes. These false assumptions are so stupid. You shouldn't pin certain food to people who look a certain way.

Parents speaking a load of shit again.

I get back from uni and am told that “I’ve gotten smaller.”

I get on the scaled and I now weight 47.somethingkg (can’t remember the . lol)

I was 44-45kg last year and was 46kg over the Christmas-January period.

47kg is the heaviest I have ever been in my life but no, I have “gotten smaller” ffs.

But I’m still 5′8 and mega ‘underweight’.

The trouble with real women

I am not a real woman. I am fictional, fake, a breath of air, a figment of your imagination. If you stare at me and focus really hard, I can grow wings, turn green and fly away because I am not real – I exist only in your mind.

I am not a real woman because I do not have curves. Instead I have angles and lines. I have skin stretched too tightly over bones that I don’t want to see. I have a lump on my chest which I thought was cancer, but it turns out is actually just a slightly wonky rib. It’s visible when I wear a swimsuit because I don’t have any curves to cover it up.

A blogpost about value, body standards , objectification and our obsession with faked realism.

Celebrities on the Scale

“lets make an entire website comparing women!!!!”

[skinnyshamingexists]

last year in music class I was sitting down with my friends and another chick that i didnt like but my friends liked her so i just had to sit with her and even though we were sitting closely together the chick said to my friend "is sophie anorexic" and i was pretending not to hear her and im just thinking bitch im right here why the fuck would you say that shit.

She does sound like a bitch. As if that’s any of her business or her place to ask smh.

someone told me i look like a neglected dog because my bones stick out

What a disgusting comment!

[skinnyshamingexists]

I saw a post on facebook saying "Thick women win no matter what" since when was it a competition? 😒

Well that ain’t true is it. Look at the gold medalist (middle) for the 10,000m at London 2012 lol.

When you skinny shame, you are as bad as fat shamers.  Do not stoop to that level

[the-things-we-want-to-sayyy-blog]

I am skinny I am thin It actually funny Because I’m not scared to dig in I am slim I have no curve according to him I have nothing to serve I am lean I am scrawny I can’t control what’s in my gene  I’m not known for being brawny I am slender I am narrow They say “she’s a pretender” but my bones just have less marrow I am feeble I am weak I could take advice from bigger people and use plastic to “fix” my physique I am skinny I am thin I have no curve I am slim I am real and completely human.

Ok.. I am sorry if this is awkward.. I am like 16 and I have no boobs. (I am female).. And I am always so self-conscious about it... What can I do to feel better about myself? Almost everyone from my year has bigger boobs than me..

This is not awkward, darling ♥ I wanna show you something:

This is me when I was 16. I had no boobs at all. I was really tiny and all of my friends had really big boobs compared to mine. I felt worthless and not like a woman at all. When I look at myself on this picture now, it makes me so sad. I had so much to offer and I didn’t know it because I was focused on not having boobs. You are a beautiful, young lady and you are so much more than your body! Society makes us feel like we are not feminine if we don’t have boobs, but that’s bullshit! Your boobs can still grow, honey. I had every cup size from non existent to AA, A, B, C, D back to a B cup. :) Boobs in every size and shape are beautiful and you don’t have to stress yourself because of having small/no boobs. I am sure there are a billion other things about you that are adorable. My cousin Florian, for example, thinks that small boobs are much more beautiful than big boobs. My brother has a thing for curvy girls with big boobs. But he says that this is only a question of taste and that if a woman allows him to see her naked, he is so overwhelmed by her trust, that it doesn’t matter at all of she has big or small boobs and that he is blown away by the beauty of a naked body that the size of the boobs doesn’t matter at all ♥

this is a culture in which women are objectified this is a time when they tell us, when they lie: be tall be curvy but not too curvy have big tits a big ass wide hips thick thighs blonde hair blue eyes Eurocentric beauty standards if you’re short if you’re skinny if you’re chubby with small tits a flat ass narrow hips chicken legs or, God forbid, dark skin then kneel at the altar worship the ideal because you’ll never be a goddess.

THE THINGS THEY TELL US (via taking-back-my-life)

Real.

If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder then, BEHOLD, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!

i'm nearly 15. I'm 92lb and a size 2. (5'5 in height) it is so annoying being told to eat a burger, everytime im arguing with someone they bring up my body and tell me that i have an eating disorder. its so annoying, my hip bones stick out and i get self concious wearing tight clothing because people can see how thin i am. i've had people at school ask me if im anorexic, jeans fall off my waist even though they are my size and everything :( Skinny shaming is real and its hurtful.

Wow people who do that must have terrible argument points if they resort to bashing your appearance. How pathetic of them. If someone tells you to eat a burger you tell them that you’ll take that burger and shove it up their ass so they have an asshole to match their personality!

It doesn’t matter if your hip bones stick out, mine do. (hurts when you’re tall enough to hit them on door handles :’( )

My experiences with tight clothing is that it’s fine to wear unless it’s tight black. Tight black makes you look thinner than you are. I never wear it (my own mother bans me, says it looks terrible, how nice of her) I wouldn’t advise someone who is very skinny to wear it either. If you don’t like skinny jeans and leggings you could try more straight cut jeans or flares. These won’t make you look so thin.

If someone asks if you’re anorexic, ask them if they have a mental illness. Anyone can have it, they aren’t excluded because they aren’t skinny.

Jeans that are supposed to be your size are falling off your waist due to size inflation. The measurements of sizes are made bigger to match the bigger population so people can ‘feel good’ about themselves by fitting into sizes that would usually be too small for them. Don’t feel bad about that as it’s not your fault.

It is :(
