Skinny Girls Struggles

Everyone has insecurities no matter whether its your body type or imperfections. People are always envious of the people who are naturally skinny, and they can't change that. Just because a person is skinny does not mean they don't have insecurities or struggles. So I thought I would name a few just so you can understand that being skinny is not all it's cracked up to be. 

1) People thinking you have an eating disorder, because they think you don't eat. It's sad how people could think we have an eating disorder just by the way they look at us. 

2) There are never clothes that fit you, and you either have to get it altered or shop in the kids section. As much as I love shopping it's a struggle to find clothes that fit me, especially pants.

3) People are amazed of how small your wrist is. Constantly comparing your wrist to theirs, or trying to see how many times their finger can go around it. 

4) Zero being categorized as a size. The number zero should not be a size that is basically saying that my size is nothing. Last time I checked my body is so much more than just the number zero.

5) Can't give blood because you don't reach the weight requirements. Everyone wants to save someones life by giving blood but it's hard when you can't reach the weight requirements which stops you from saving a life.

6) Being sick and the medicine they give you is to strong for you. When you get sick doctors will recommend you medicine but since you are so small the medicine makes you even sicker and does not help.

7) People joking about your weight, such as " you are going to be blown away" or "you look like a twig." It feels just the same way as someone were to say a fat joke to a fat person.

8) You can't gain weight as much as you try. We eat and eat and eat but can't gain any weight, and to some people that may sound like heaven. But to us we just want to gain just a little bit more weight because society keeps telling us we are too skinny.

9) People saying " you can't have insecurities you are too skinny." Everyone has insecurities and don't think that if she's skinny she doesn't have insecurities because we do.

10) Telling everyone that skinny isn't everything. Society has made people believe that skinny is sexy and perfect, when it's not. Confidence and personality is that makes you perfect in your own way. Everyone was born different and yes there is always one thing people want to change about themselves, but you should be happy with what you look like. We are all beautiful no matter the size. 

Those are some struggles skinny girls go through on a daily basis. So don't think that just because a person is skinny they are perfect. We are all beautiful (:
