quote: ORIGINAL: Gwynvyd quote: ORIGINAL: opposingtwilight It can hurt, depending on -how- a person is maintaining that skinniness. You mean like the anorexic twig of a woman in my office that glares daggers at me every time I eat something... I am eatin for 2 gosh darn it... I have to consume more then a bag of popcorn for lunch, and for the whole bloody day! ( which incedentaly is her "splurging" lunch. ) I am usualy found with a peice of fruit in my maw.. but my god.. you'd think I was horking down double 1/4 pounders for fucks sake. As for Weight = Health.... that is total BS.. Twiggy the puker has high blood pressure, high cholosterol, and many many health problems. I am my big assed Amazon self.. and I have regular to low blood pressure, low cholesterol, and I am fairly healthy other then what my loving family passed down ( like migraines.. which twiggy also has) My thyroid (evil of all evils) packed up and left town when I had my son. I eat light, mostly veggies and fruit.... but eh. Go figure. I eat healthier then 90% of folks anywhere. If you have a prefferance fine.. but do not message people or bug them saying you'd be prettier "if" also no need to get snarky.. I have seen it time and again. Find a person you find attractive.. and talk to them. Leave the others kindly alone. Any one can be healthy or un healthy at just about any weight unless it is hugely in one direction or another I believe. Gwyn I would just like to point out that, as a girl who is currently struggling to get her weight -up- to a normal level, seeing skinny people referred to as "Twiggy the Puker", "anorexic twig" and (not you but someone else on this thread ...) "a 27 yr old and up who looks like an adolescent with over-sized tits" ... Frankly, hurts probably about as much as it would hurt if someone called you fat ... Did it ever occur to you that maybe she has an eating disorder? Maybe she glares at you while you eat because she wishes to God she could eat too? Maybe she hates herself, loathes herself so much that she can't touch more than a bag of popcorn all day and she hates you because YOU don't hate yourself so much and you CAN eat and take care of your body. Maybe she's not thinking of you as fat or Amazon or whatever but just ... Lucky. Blessed. Fortunate. The point of this thread was not to knock skinny people or medium people or thick people (or fat or however else you'd like to word it) or people of any size, age, or whatever. It was merely to point out that the utter silliness of trying to say that being smaller makes you healthy and being bigger makes you unhealthy is just that ... Silliness. My best friend was a "twiggy puker" ... Literally. She had anorexia and bulimia. It killed her. So, to anyone else who seems to think its ok to make fun of skinny people because you're sick of the hatred towards fat people, stop and think for a second before you stoop just as low as the haters, ok? Sometimes, it hurts. I should have known better before starting this thread in the first place. Now I've learned.

oh heck - fat people (me included) make derogatory statements about thin people from envy and lack of understanding. We see thin people and know the sheer struggle we have to keep our weight from ballooning. It seldom occures to us that thin people have their own issues, just as serious as ours. We see them as someone with what we would love to have - a skinny body with no apparent effort. I am jealous when i see a thin woman. I would like to be thin, i just don't want to put myself through the grief needed to get me there. I tend to perceive thin people as being thin with no struggle- and envy that. It may or maynot be true - but that is my perception. I love my body - and cheerfully acknowledge that i would like to be thinner - as long as no effort is required. I submit to the power of food in my life. I do know that i tend to perceive thin people looking down on fat people. I think maybe we retaliate to perceived slights with our own, and end up hurting people where no hurt was appropriate or needed. I apologise for my lack of sensitivity, and will strive to increase my judging people by their actions, not mine.

I understand completely what you mean twillight and I wasnt trying to hurt anyone's feelings with that statement. What I meant was moreso those one who feed into the image drilled into their head by the media and try to live that image, no matter what they do to their health. I think that it's actually quite sad and I hate the fact that the media has such an imprint in women's lives, forcing that viewpoint on them. As I said before I am an equal-opportunity fucker. Given the choice, I would take a thicker woman who isnt afraid of her weight, but at the same time that doesnt mean I would turn away the slender woman. But your point is definitely noted.

opposingtwilight -> RE: -Not- another fat thread ... No, really. (8/15/2008 7:51:52 PM)
Thank you, Sir. The media promotes this disturbing image of "beauty" that most people could never hope to attain and yeah, it makes me sick too.

agreeing with twilight here, being 5'7 and 105lbs....sucks....ass.... no eating disorders here, im just skinny. and on another note, sometimes being this skiiny, and haveing boobs smaller then my 17 year old sisters? makes me feel like i ahve the body of a twelve year old, really. When your almost 23 and STILL buying juniors clothing and even...little girls clothes? kind ruins the sense that your big growen up. I cant tell you the time I was flat out told my ID was fake because no 22 year old is as skinny as me. Yeah...kicked out of bars because i look too skinny...that was fun. Or the time the girl tryed to force my mouth open to look at my teeth to see if i had damaged them from pukeing my food up because apprently im only this skinny because im bulemic or anorexic or some such crap. Really, not all its cracked up to be sorry for hijacking...just wanted to make a point..

aggressiveblkdom -> RE: -Not- another fat thread ... No, really. (8/16/2008 2:51:33 AM)
Now see, you fall into the catagory of women whom I can genuinely respect Sunny. A woman who is naturally slender or small is one thing, but the one's who damn near starves themselves just to look that way or ridicule someone who doesn't fit the "model" look are the ones who I can't stand. Twillight those were the ones I refered to when I made the comment about being "27 but looking like an adolescent with oversized tits". To me that is just weakness of character, allowing someone else (the media) to dictate to you how you are going to look and even jeopardizing your health to fit that look.

[q]....I should have known better before starting this thread in the first place. Now I've learned.. opposingtwilight[/q] We've all had this feeling -- at least if we've posted enough that our message boards 'designation' icon is at least one set of handcuffs. You wrote a good Op, and a lot of good convo took place, IMO. A few members were snarky, to some degree, but nobody weighed in to double-team whomever the snarky member was hating on....I don't think snarkiness can ever be eliminated, so as long as it doesn't turn into a full-blown clusterfk, mostly, I just don't give a flip about it. I think if you linger on the boards long enough, eventaully you'll feel the same way. It's sort like driving a long communte to work. Yes we all know full good and well, some asswipe will try to cut us out of our lane or other stupid ass crazy dangerous thing.** But we don't quit our job and stop driving. We learn to 'tune it out' as having any emotional content. For some people they'r so used to bad drivers they no even feel any adrenaline rush when one puts them in serious danger with a particularly evil, stupid move, like forcing them onto the berm at 70 mph. Yes, we need to stop hating on skinny people. We need to stop assuming anyone who's slender cannot possibly be in distress too. (That one baffles me, but I've experieced it quite frequently myself during a period in my adult life when I was slender, if not skinny.) But, opossingtwilight, we all need to try to stop using stereotypes of any stripe to inform our opinions or decisions to a greater degree. I don't think it's possible to stop all use of steretypes, and that it's something each of must strive to do all our lives...at least if we feel any desire to improve out 'lot in life', if for no other reason. For me reading a post in which a member quotes something I've writen here and then explains how it injured them in some way I waaay did not foresee -- particularly if it caused distress -- is akin to finding out I've inadvertently forgotten to lock my UM's front door and consequently she's been burgled. *The two are not a like in the degree or depth of my reaction, only in that it is of the same nature.* *I think there are probably many other members who react the same way when discovering they've inadvertly injured somone by a burp* in their communication skills. candystripper**
