SKINNY GIRL PROBS

I have a fast metabolism, and so my weight doesn't change too drastically. I know I shouldn't complain because I've been around people who've tried to lose weight,  and have seen all the struggles they go through. However, believe me, being skinny is not all that it's glamorized to be.


I get judged at restaurants and gyms too. Since I have a fast metabolism, at restaurants my plate is always full. No one really notices that part. But come time for dessert, if I opt to eat honeydew instead of a chocolate cake - people suddenly care. It's not because I'm trying to watch my weight. Maybe, I just don't like cake. Please, remove that scowl off your face now. At the gym, I can feel those "why is she even here" stares from miles away. I'm super weak, excuse me for trying to change that. 


I get self-concious about the way I look too. Yes, I may be as skinny as some of the Victoria Secret models, but I have no curves. In fact, squares have more curves than me. Trust me, it's not appealing. If you have curves please flaunt them, do not try and fit into someone else's idea of what your body should look like. I will forever be jealous of curvy women.

aaand finally, because I have no curves, clothes don't fit properly. Skinny jeans are too baggy, belts always have a long strap hanging, and let's just forget about wearing those cute tube top dresses. Let's hope that long shirts/sweaters stay in fashion for a while, because otherwise I cannot wear leggings. It just goes straight back to legs. No booty what so ever. lol.

It took me a while to be happy with the way I look, but I have finally semi-mastered the art of picking out clothes that flatter by body type and I definately continue to eat like nobody's watching. Don't misconstrue this post. I'm not trying to look like a victim or say that skinny girls have it harder than other body types. I'm just trying to say that being "skinny" should not not be a person's ultimate goal. But instead you should strive to be healthy and happy with the way you look. Don't over exert yourself in hopes of becoming what the media deems as desirable. All body types are beautiful.
