OMG! I enjoyed everyone's posts. I think we all know some skinny person or two who like to complain about how thin they are. It's usually very obvious that they are attention-seeking and are, as my mother used to say, "fishing for compliments." Next time you hear someone try to draw out those compliments, just say, "Oh it must be so awful! I feel so bad for you! You just can't gain any curves, can you?"

My dream is that someday somebody will say that to me lol.

I don't agree w some of you just because there skinny don't think they dont worry about weight gain ... You all feel the need to think its something else you do have skinny ppl that worry just because the see fat ppl and that the reality but it's hard to put yourself in their shoes because some use aren't there yet but I've been called skinny I worry about my weight but a person that doesn't kno me would think other wise because I'm skinny I think we should be mindful of others we hate when stereo type us for being fat and we do it to skinny ppl for being skinny

Skinny people definitely have insecurities and such too. Everyone does...it's the complaining about things they i have dubbed "non-issues". You know if you have a weight problem or not. My issue is...if you don't have a weight problem quit acting like you do!!

I definitely agree with the fishing for compliments statement because after the girl said what she had to say...everyone was all "oh not that you had 10 pounds to loose" "I wish I was like you" and "u look great stop complaining"... So maybe it's her need for reassurance that he's thin...hmm thought provoking lol

Skinny is not equal to happiness. I have a friend who struggles, really struggles, to gain any weight. She got sick and her weight dropped dangerously low. She is a type one insulin dependant diabetic so it isn't as simple as just eating some pies for her. Gaining weight is hard work, losing any is frightening, and I have learnt to have some compassion for her rather than being envious of her pants size.

Sometimes we can be so focused on our own troubles and struggles that we forget that skinny on its own is not a sole indicator of good health or happiness.

Just as people look at me and think I am lazy and unhealthy - I know that I look at thin people with envy, and I bet a lot of them are lazy and unhealthy too. But still - the ex-daughter in law who kept a perfect house and grazed on bad food all day - I can't help but be a little hatee on her - she reminds me of the perfect Stepford Moms at my kids school!!

Non issue to heavier ppl because this person complain about weight problems but. In her eye might just feel that way .. Fishing for compliments while as women we all do that nothing wrong w it .. Just because wewould trade places with a smaller person because we are bigger doesn't not make her issue valid just because we see her in duck a way doesn't mean she does so just think about that ..

I am hoping everyone is keeping it light hearted! We all know that skinny people have issues too. Lawd...I think the original poster meant this to be lighthearted. I know I did. No need to get preachy about how skinny people have issues too. No matter what someone says....if you have been or are a fat girl...you know you have made a skinny beotch comment. Just saying!

I don't have a weight problem anymore..160 pounds down since my sleeve 15 months ago. I'm a skinny b***h that is terrified to gain weight...but in my eyes I still see myself as that other person. My body lost the weight quicker than my mind could keep up. When you have your sleeve give it a few months and you will understand :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
