From another perspective... Being pressured to be skinny isn't a problem for everyone. In the same way some girls are born with genetics that make them gain weight easily, others are born with high metabolisms and are naturally skinny. I'm not trying to brag in any way, but I'm one of those girls. I'm 5'10'' and 135lbs. But believe it or not I get a good amount of shit for being skinny. Skinny girls are being bashed on saying they "aren't realistic" or assuming they have an eating disorder. I get asked this alot and it does offend me. Our DNA composes aspects of what we are that we don't have control over. The key is to take care of your body and accept yourself for who you are. It takes mental strength to love yourself, that's the true complex people battle with. But I know it's not always easy to love yourself...
