Uncles with belly fat like pregnant women telling me not eat much food even though i have fast metabolism and look skinny. I am standing there like??

@_lunawinters WTF I'm usually the one offering women home cooked food and insisting they eat until I need to roll them out the door :) Eat till your happy :)

@freemo it's really tiring. I've been bullied for years since my childhood because of my skinny body. But people choose to make fun of someone's body even though they don't know them

@_lunawinters My very very close friend, and ex-girlfriend had that problem. She struggles to gain weight and tries hard to do so. But she has often been judged for it in various ways.

Its one reason when i see body positive posts that praise heavier women and throw skinny women under a bus to do it, I respond negatively to that.

@freemo that's so great of you.
People think that we are anorexic or something. When we explain, they just ignore us.

@_lunawinters Even if you were anorexic that wouldnt deminish my compassion, if anything I'd want to try even harder to let you know I'm here to support you. under eating, over eating, and body image issues are no joke. I see no reason to meet them with anything other than compassion.

@_lunawinters Don't think you have anything to worry about if your metabolism is good! Go on girl :D

@_lunawinters Uncles are probably feeling bad for them being overweight, and counselling you in that way.

Seems to me you don't have to worry at all. Just listen like you have been doing. :smiley:
