    When I was in school people always commented on how skinny I was and how they wanted to be as skinny as I was (which got annoying after awhile). I remember this one time a few girls were commenting on it and this girl who was overweight seemed pissed off because of it. Another time someone was talking/guessing weight and nobody seemed to believe that I actually weighed over 100 lbs because I am so tall. Doctors never said anything about it since I was healthy. I ate whatever I wanted and almost all my teen years I was lazy. I actually did manage to put on some weight once I dropped out of school. However, I still am a few pounds from being underweight according to my BMI.

    I am not sure if anyone ever thought I had an eating disorder. I didn't eat lunch at school most of the time or ate very little because it was disgusting or I wasn't hungry. I just ate when I got home. I think the only reason I was barely hungry was because I constantly chewed gum.

    I also have seen lately about how skinny actresses and models are. I've seen some about athletes even. Usually the comments say something about how they have an eating disorder. People don't seem to realize that they probably eat healthy and work out to stay in shape to begin with.

    I will honestly never understand why people want to be so skinny. I am so bony. I am also a weak person and can't really put on muscle.
