Here are your options: 1) It's hereditary. Your family is skinny naturally, and you just inherited it, and don't have to work hard to maintain it. 2) You are athletic and exercise a lot to burn off fat calories. 3) You eat the right portion sizes 4) You don't eat enough. Embrace the fact you are skinny (as long as you are eating well) because before you know it you'll be 'fighting the battle of the bulge' meaning putting on weight, having a tummy and all that fun stuff. Several of my girlfriends and myself grew up in the 1950's had we were all skinny and, in fact, had boyish figures. I was wondering if I was ever going to blossom out. I did by the time I was 17, then got skinny again and became a good weight in my 20 - 30's and from 50 on I am here to attest I am now fighting the battle of the bulge like my other friends are. It's exercise time, diet time, and watching what you eat. If you are very concerned then please see your doctor and have your thyroid checked out called a T3/T4 blood test. Also get your doctor to check your adrenal gland. Some people can use up the food they eat just sitting. If tests come back for the good, be thankful you can eat as much as you want and not gain weight. You will soon enough!

Why do skinny people hate fat people?

Low self esteem. Because putting other people down for no good reason makes insecure people feel better about themselves. Also, society frowns upon hating people because of their color, religion or sexual orientation, so hating people for their body type is about the only type of bullying that they can still get away with. NOTE: It is a misguided assumption that skinny people hate fate people or that fat people hate skinny people; the majority of people, fat, skinny, or otherwise, don't hate people. People who hate other people based on superficial attributes are called bigots. We are fortunate that bigots are a minority and that the great majority of people do not hate.


What does it mean when you dream about being skinny and strong?

Not so long ago, "skinny" was associated with "ugly" and "weak." So the dream depends on how the dreamer feels about the idea of being "skinny" and "strong." If those qualities seem admirable, then the dream is wish-fulfillment. Otherwise, the dream reflects the dreamer being of two minds, undecided about whether to be weak and dependent, or strong and self-sufficient.


Why do some people believe skinny people are healthy and overweight people are disgusting?

The majority of people may not feel that overweight people are disgusting. There is much evidence that people in a certain weight range (for their gender and height) are healthier. Studies have shown that being exceptionally overweight or underweight is detrimental to one's health. My Mom is overweight due to a thyroid condition. I am skinny. I have more health problems than my Mom does. My Mom only has a thyroid condition and she takes the thyroid pill to help her out. I have high blood pressure and I am a recovering anorexic. I would rather be overweight any day and be healthy. Most research has shown that it is healthier to have a little "meat on your bones", than to be skinny! Overweight people are not disgusting! I think that they are beautiful in every way just like you and me. People believe this because overweight and obese people tend to be more lazy and procrastinate. Of course, there are some overweight people who aren't disgusting and there are some skinny people who are unhealthy. This stereotype is just oversimplified. This varies with culture, social class, history and other factors. Back in earlier centuries woman were portrayed in classic paintings as having 'softer' looks like round faces and plump bodies. But this has obviously changed quite dramatically today, as even the slightest hint of 'fat' is discouraged. You see this in nearly every fashion ad or commercial. In remote areas like Tibet, body size is not an important consideration. Some countries might even find a "skinny" woman to be unhealthy and repulsive, as some in the United States find heavyset women. Any anthropology or sociology text would illustrate this, as would Western fashion trends in the 1900's-1950's.


Are men with muscles better looking then skinny men?

It is not necessarily true that men with muscles are better looking than skinny men or average shaped men. Chemistry is what makes two people fall in love and personality of the man is a high priority and not necessarily a #10 body. Men who work out to keep their shape do so a great deal and often have little time to spend with a girlfriend unless she is into body building. A slim man with some muscle seems to be far more attractive than a man with bulging muscles and veins sticking out all over the place. One should go with chemistry and the personality and if muscles are there then it's simply an added bonus, but if not, you're not missing out on a lot.

Not all men like skinny women. Some men like women with a little bit of meat in them. Most men Like women With a little, or some meat on them.
