Soooo... long rant ahead! You have been warned

All my life, I've been quite thin. I'm 5'6"/1.68m tall and I weigh 101lbs/46kg. YES, I am underweight. I am, however, NOT anorexic nor bulimic. I've always enjoyed eating a lot!
And I've got boobs so they make up for the lack of fat elsewhere.

It's just in my genes, so yes I guess I'm pretty lucky. Not to sound conceited but all my life (female) friends have been looking at me with jealousy, saying stuff like "I wish I could eat as much as you and not gain weight". Well yeah, what am I supposed to say to that? "Sucks for you"? I usually just nodded my head and mumbled something so not to offend anyone.

Now last week my mom and I were visiting my sister, and her room mate (lets call her X) was around and she's slightly overweight. When we got back home my mom told me how X was constantly looking at me, watching my every move. I thought nothing of it.
Now today, my sister comes over and we talk for a bit, and she says "X was kinda shocked to see how thin you are" so the bitch in me came out and said "well i was shocked to see how fat she is". Not a nice thing to say, ok.
But I am so fed up with people judging me and asking me if I throw up after I have a meal. For f*** sake, I am perfectly healthy.
And whats worse, it's almost like when you're skinny you're not allowed to talk about other people nevermind diss them. I can't just say "wooooow she's got a bit of junk in the trunk" coz I will get looks like "well you better shut up, it's easy for you to diss other people!"

I'm just sick of it. I can't help the way I look. I'm not gonna lie, I am very happy with my body. Yes, I can wear all types of skirts/dresses/tops/whatnot. No, I dont have to suck in my tummy. But then again, people only see what they want to see. At the end of the day, I do get judged for the way I look too!

I think some people should think that we are all not created equal.
We all have different genes.

You have more active metabolism that surely burns more calories, even if you eat a lot. Good for you Julie.

hm, des ist echt ne blöde situation für dich.
aber lass dir nicht einreden nur weil du dünn bist, darfst du dem andern sein übergewicht kritisieren.

bei meiner schwester und mir ist es ähnlich (ich hab zu viel, sie nicht), aber es ist nicht so das wir uns da gegenseitig fertig machen. Man merkt aber schon wenn der rest der familie über den fetten a*** von mir reden und dass doch meine schwester mal was essen soll. irgendwie wird man da in rollen gedrängt, die man gar nicht sein will.. .

ups hab mich da an einer stelle vertippt.
sollte heißen: "lass dir nicht einreden nur weil du dünn bist, darfst du dem andern sein übergewicht nicht kritisieren".

wenn du auf sowas angesprochen wirst, kannst du genauso andere auf ihre probleme hinweisen.

I think that's something almost every thin girl experience (I don't think thin boys are subjects for such comments, not as much as girls at least). It's not good though. I bet it's not funny being "accused" for having eating disorders, but it's definitely more accepted to make comments on thin people's body than overweighted people's body.
But I think all the comments, people staring at you is a result of jealousy. Most people would love to be able to eat as much as they wanted, and not gain weight.
So don't worry too much about it .. just be happy about your body and that you're actually one of the (today pretty rare) ones who don't have to worry about their food intake.

Oh ... my german has definitely gotten extremely bad, I tried to understand the comment made by nata-is-at, but I was only able to understand a tiny bit of it. Grrr ... but I guess that happens when you don't get to practice a language for several years.

I know what you're saying, I used to be quite thin as well, and I could eat anything I wanted to (it starts to change now.. too bad). And I have experienced similar things, though maybe a little less. Just don't pay them any attention - mostly it's jealousy. But still, people don't realize how rude it is to flat out ask someone if they have an eating disorder when they're very thin. They're not going up to a fat person and ask them the same thing, are they?
