You and I are right on the same page here.
Take a read at what I said above. You were just nicer about it than me.
I don't have a problem with thin people. In-fact, I wish I looked like that. I would also NEVER say anything derrogatory or rude about a thin person's weight. I've been known to give a gentle rib here or there about wishing I was so thin, but I have never been outright cruel. I would never be.
This thread isn't about hating on thin people, whether they are thin naturally or by hard work.
It's about trying to identify with someone in a world where all you are shown is thinness and beauty, and you are expected to uphold those ideals. It's about trying to identify in a world where if you aren't perfectly thin, you're considered a lesser person.
