Welcome @thin-shaming - Tumblr Blog

I’m a 15 your old girl, 5"8 and 114 lbs. Ever since 6th grade I have felt skinny, and people started noticing. People started telling me my legs were too thin, or that I should eat something. I ignored it and moved on, but when middle school started I got more self conscious, as many girls around me had boobs. I still looked like a boy to me. People didn’t believe I ate and started asking me if I were anorexic. At the worst points people girls would walk by and look at my legs and laugh or talk about them. I brushed it off, but it hurts. I hate complaining about it because I feel like people don’t get what it feels like.

I finally got my first bra last year, as a 14 y/o, and I am rocking an A cup now, and start loving it more. I have accepted I am skinny, and try to get in shape to gain weight. I hope I can be totally confident one day, and that’s my goal!

I hate my thigh gap now cause thick thighs are "attractive." I was born with a thigh gap and I want to get rid of it so bad 🙃

Thigh gaps can't be rid of, they're part of your bone structure. You should embrace it! People are always going to hate on what they can't have, and you shouldn't make tabloids and media who put those aspects down effect you becahse they literally change every month!

Do you think anorexics should be subject to "thin shaming" for their own health? As someone recovering from anorexia, I've had people say they're shaming my body for my own good.

Absolutely not. People tend to think that insulting someone or stating that someone is skinny will automatically crack their mental illness. I see this all the time in Eugenia Cooney's comments on youtube. It makes no sense to me.

I've realised I've skinny-shammed a woman on ig, but I don't know what to do know. I wasn't trying to hate her body, I'm just sick of seeing really thin bodies flaunted on ig (personal issues). I'm obvi received a bit of hate, but I just..

Well you know what you did wrong, and of course no one is perfect. Each one of us has done something that may of been hurtful towards someone else. Just move forward, and know that your actions and words hold a lot of weight, even if it's just on social media.

Skinny people don’t have to do shit to be considered stylish it’s fucking unfair

However they are constantly called “anorexic” and get told that they “have no tits”. I am 5'8 and dress size 6-8(uk) 2-4(us) and when I’m just minding my own business I hear people mutter in disgust “God she’s so skinny” I get called “an anorexic bitch” even though I can happily eat a full pizza and a tub of ice-cream to myself. Never judge “skinny” people when you are completely ignorant towards them.

Are you done? Like is it over?

thin-shaming

And there it is, we're just blown off like our experiences aren't valid. How is that in anyway fair? How is that not deemed insensitive? But it okay, because we're the "standard".

Why do people think that "do you know how many people would kill for a body like that" and "lucky you, you can eat anything you want!" are compliments? You would never tell a fat person "man you can excersize all you want and never lose a pound!" Because that's an insult. So why isn't it like that the other way around?

I honestly don't think people mean anything malicious by those comments, however I do understand how it can be annoying how people make it as if being skinny is the best thing ever free of ridicule and problems. In general, people always seem to think the grass is greener on the other side.

Accepting my Body after depression

I recently got diagnosed with depression, almost a year ago, I had over 5 suicide attempts in that time. and as I’ve come through it all. I’ve needed to discover myself again, I’ve needed to find out who I am, since I’ve been unhappy for years before my diagnosis. My s/o has really helped. I’ve over come barriers that I never knew I could overcome. I’m underweight. and had an eating disorder for over 6 months, I understand that doesn’t seem like much, but there were days where I could see the veins in my hands so clearly, I would be paler than usual, I couldn’t walk without getting dizzy. I’ve made massive improvements on my image, But mainly because, even if I look “awkward” because I’m skinny and tall and sometimes don’t know how to stand right, I’m still happy with myself, I’m still me, and although I’m skinny and may not be the healthiest, And hell I may look unhealthy to some, I’m proud of where I’ve come from. so anyone who’s suffering with eating disorders or body image issues, whether you’re over weight, under weight, or average. You are you, and you have control over how you view yourself, the way you view yourself shouldn’t be shaped by others negative comments, You’re beautiful, I mainly posted this aswell to thank pages like this for existing, A lot of body positivity pages seem devoted to fat shaming issues, and I’ve been against fat shaming for as long as I can remember, Most of my family is overweight, But still, that didn’t help me, if anything I was jealous of the girls Who managed to accept the way they look and rock it, but I stumbled APON a similar page to this, and goddamn that helped. Keep up your amazing postings

stop telling girls with thick thighs that they shouldn’t wear light wash jeans because they’re “unflattering.” stop telling short girls that they shouldn’t wear high-waisted jeans because they make them look shorter. stop telling girls with big thighs to stay away from baggy clothes and boyfriend jeans. stop telling petite girls they can’t wear capris. stop telling telling tall girls to avoid wearing heels so they won’t “intimidate” people. stop telling skinny girls to only wear tops that give them the illusion of having hips. stop telling girls with big boobs to avoid shirts and dresses without a waist. stop telling chubby girls to stay away from patterns and horizontal stripes. stop telling girls with cellulite to wear long shorts. stop telling short girls to wear heels and vertical stripes to make themselves look taller. stop telling pale girls they can’t wear warm colors and stop telling dark girls they can’t wear cool colors. stop telling girls to be ashamed of their body type.

I'm 17. I'm 5'5 and I barely weigh 100lbs. I've recently become very insecure of my body. I've always wanted to have curves, perfect sized boobs, and weigh more but that hasn't happened. I just feel really alone and no one understands what I'm going through. Any suggestions? Thank you.

From what I’ve seen on YouTube, you could try working out with weights to tone your body if you’d like. Some relatively skinny YouTubers were able to get toned bodies after working out with weights for a few months. They were also able to gain a bit of weight because of muscle mass. Blogilates has a lot of good tips on these sorts of things.

This is an amazing tumblr! I've been skinny shamed my whole life. I have been told that I look like a neglected dog, the body shaming doesn't affect me anymore since I got use to it but it should never be acceptable to say such rude comments about someone's body. I enjoy reading other people's stories and I like knowing that I'm not alone.

We’re glad that you enjoy the blog! You’re definitely not alone and we completely agree that it is not acceptable to shame any body type. Every body type is unique and beautiful.

I'm 5'3", and weigh 110lbs. I suffered two eating disorders before I finally recovered in mid 2013. I eat healthily and exercise regularly, on top of my hectic retail job. And I'm proud to say that I love my body now! Your blog makes me feel a lot better when my co-workers make silly remarks about me "eating air". Thank you for having such a wonderfully positive blog!

We are glad for your recovery! Stay positive no matter what happens!

i love your blog!! I'm 15, 5'5 and 92lb and have been skinny shamed my whole life.

We're glad that you enjoy our blog! :) We're always here to listen to you.

Story time

I used to be 130lbs I’m 5ft 3in guy and not muscular so that 130lbs was pretty much fat cells not muscle. That was gained from emotional eating (binge eating) because I was upset with having fibromyalgia not being able to ever do long distance running again or really move much at all cause it’s that serve. I started making posts about having to watch what I eat and trying to loose weight. I got serve backlash like why is loosing some weight bad I just wanted to fit into my pants again and stop eating all my emotions. I’m 115lbs now and people are calling me anorexic but I’m at an average weight not even underweight O : I adore my body but I’m consistently shamed for wanting to change it which makes it hard to not go back to eating my emotions out. Before fibromyalgia I ran long distance so I was skinny mainly lean muscle so I weighed 100lbs but ate like a beast since carbing up helped with running but never ever had problems with restrictive eating. So why are people making rude remarks for loosing weight or before when I was pretty tiny made gross remarks about how skinny I was. People were happy that I gained a lot of weight and nobody cared I gained that weight from emotional eating. Though this page makes me feel better about changing myself and feeling better about my body image. Adore all body types but never shame someone who wants to change

I’ve sent this to another blog too, but this is important to me. I am fourteen. I am 5'7, weigh 98lbs and wear a 31A size bra. My mom tells me I’ll probably be this thin until I have children of my own, IF I have children of my own. An issue I NEVER see talked about is how 18+ women with my body type are infantilized. And my biggest issue with that is how skinny women with small breasts and little to no “assets” are cast in roles as CHILDREN and TEENAGERS in pornography (which is something I’m already very much against). As a teenager with that sort of body type, I feel like I am being sexualized even though I am underage.

6 Steps in Learning to Love Yourself

1.See the good in your past. There will always be things that we wish had never happened; there will always be bad memories and things that we regret. But they are part of who you are – so accept that they have happened and celebrate the person they’ve allowed you to become.

2. Invest time in the things that bring you happiness. It’s important to identify the things that you enjoy, and that make you come alive, and are all a part of “you”. Spending time on those things will help to raise your self-esteem, as you’re valuing yourself when you pursue happiness.

3. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. We all make mistakes - and when we think of them we cringe. But that doesn’t make you any worse than other people. Just try and learn what you can, and then move on with your life.

4. Stop criticising yourself. So often we’re really our own worst enemy. We look for our flaws, and we put ourselves down – instead of being understanding of our own limitations. It’s time to change that behaviour – so start loving yourself.

5. Listen to your instincts and intuitions. If you want to love yourself, you must listen to yourself. Pay attention to those instincts and your instant gut reaction – and trust that you are right when you hear that inner voice.

6. Appreciate your life. Of course there are things that you wish that you could change. But some things are good, and are worth appreciating. So, focus on, appreciate, and make lots of your strengths.

Hello ! I'm 16, 5'6 and 108lb. I've always been thin, and bullied because of that since middle school. I've been told so many times how ugly and skinny my body looked that I ended up believing it. But now, things have gotten worse. I'm under a treatment and it made me lose weight. I look horribly skinny. I only wear large clothes because I'm so disgusted by my body. I tried to tell my mother but she doesn't care at all. What can I do to appreciate my body a little bit more ? Thank you.

I think you should go through this blog (which i’m sure you probably have already), and see that you’re NOT alone. This blog has helped us a lot in our daily lives as well. Also, it’s easier said than done, but stop basing what people think about you as to what YOU think about you, because your outlook upon yourself is what is most important. When you’ve grown to stop caring/listening to what others have to say about you, life becomes so much more enjoyable and fun. Do things that make you feel good about yourself, and that make you feel like you look your best. Surround yourself with positive people, and just know that you’re beautiful even if you don’t fulfill societies standards of “beautiful”. It takes time, and it can be a long process, but trust me it is possible. It’s taken me a few years to realize that, and it does get better. :)
