I hate when ppl tell petite folks they’re too thin. Like, it doesn’t dawn on them how rude that is to say. You think it’s a compliment to be compared to a stick? Or a toddler?? Fuck off
Those are the comments I always dread when I share fitness update pics tbh.
I’ve been petite and underweight almost my whole life. Being constantly told I’m a lawn dart and that I need to eat a sandwich does nothing to encourage or uplift me.
I had a period where I was able to gain weight but I was eating so unhealthily. I was still barely over 100lbs but my stomach really filled out and I had the same waist and hip measurement. I was a block. I had a very visible lower belly pooch. I was called fat. Fat at 115lbs
It really warped my sense of how I perceive my body. Skinny fat? Petite chub? Just labels to pointlessly obsess about.

I have an ideal of how I want my body to look, and it’s healthy. That’s all that matters. Your crass comments about how they don’t meet your standards don’t.
