Muscular, not SKINNY!
I know this might sound weird but I can’t stand to be called skinny. Muscular is what I prefer. People all the time are saying look how skinny this girl is, she needs to eat. No, I don’t need to eat the buttery greasy food that you are eating. I will continue to eat my lean non-greasy, plain food! It suits me and my body. All of my friends are skinny, NONE are muscular at all and they don’t want that look but I love it! I want to improve and gain more muscle but I can’t do that eating foods that won’t help me do that. BLAH! I just hate being called skinny or tiny, b/c i’m certainly not at all. Just venting!!

Amen! How about "she is going to dry up and blow away!" or "you are wasting away to nothing" all because you refuse to dive head first into a box of Krispy Kreme Donuts. I hear it all the time too. Of course, if I am standing next to someone who is 150lbs overweight then comparitively I am "tiny".
I prefer muscular or toned too.
Keep up the good eating!

Hi there! You are not alone! A lot of people who have issues about their appearance sometimes feel better by trying to make you feel like your the one with the problem. Again, it is a jouney taken alone, others can support us but at the end of the day, we are the source of our motivation and centre of feeling good about ourselves. Over time it gets easier and like someone else here said, these healthy habits of living and of how we see ourselves last a lifetime. Recently I have had some girls comment in a positive way on my physique - at the gym, change room and pool - everytime I say a huge thank you and let them know how special they are for being able to give such a generous compliment…….hopefully moments like that make up for the all the negative comments. Stick to your goals and your path….all the angelita (little angle)….Belinda
