A thread of Struggles Skinny Small females go face.
We almost always have to slimfit everything we buy
“Don’t you eat” “When you will not eat why won’t you not be thin”
The constant body shaming is torture
The family members that believe you don’t eat even though you eat like a man
We get compared to men A LOT
If you wear a size 4/6 I’m so sorry sweetie but you really won’t find anything to buy
You get mistaken for a teenager even when you are in your 20s/30s
You are often subjected to bullying. Bullying aim at your collarbone or your skinny arms and legs
Most of the time in relationships, these guys really start comparing you to thick sisters. Bruv you met me skinny why are you trying to change me?
You try to boost your confidence by buying Ampetamine or any other weight gain formulas but your Fast metabolism doesn’t give a hoot about that
They believe we are weak and can’t carry stuff
If I hear any alakpa stainless again I’m going to shoot someone
The constant need to try to push food at us like we won’t notice. We are really not starving ourselves or anorexic
Imagine telling me I’m not a real woman because I don’t have curves
Imagine me ordering something and they tell me that am I sure I want it because it’s plenty .... Yes I want the large portion. Yes I can finish it
.... Yes I want the large portion. Yes I can finish it
I eat 3-5 wraps of amala and the next thing that will come out of your mouth is “with the way you are small” ffs
How do you think I feel anytime you tell me “if you are not careful breeze will blow you away”
Our defense mechanism is Making these skinny jokes about ourselves so it won’t hurt as much as it does
If you don’t eat a lot people have something to say, if you eat a lot people have something to say. People always want to comment on your portion sizes. You can’t win either way.
You making eating disorder jokes is really not funny. Fuck you
People dismissing you when you say you decide to hit the gym talambout you are so lucky you are skinny which doesn’t even equate you being in shape or being healthy. You can be naturally skinny and still want to live a healthy lifestyle or get in better shape.
We hate Hearing “ you might be skinny now but you’ll add weight after you have kids”
This is basically the equivalent of telling someone, “Hey! You’re attractive now but man, I can’t wait til you get older and look like shit!!” Why would you say these things to someone at all?

Feeling like you can’t be truthful about how you feel about your body. The moment you talk they guilt trip you making you feel like you are ungrateful
Yes skinny people have Cellulite and stretch marks
The way they assume if you’re skinny then you must always feel 100% happy and content with your body and it’s a crime to be slightly unhappy about it. God forbid we voice our complaints about our insecurities.
Don’t fucking compare a skinny woman to a bag of bones you retard
The horror anytime we enter public transport
Why ??? Why??? Why would you just pick me up without my consent? Talmbout omg you are so small
“Omg why are you so slim it’s not fair” 
I used to cry anytime people told me I was so skinny they could see my ribs.
Yes I sometimes shop at the children’s section. Yes I do
We hate the way y’all measure our wrists to show how small they are
“Let me make sure you finish your food”. OH SHUT UP
Please don’t tell us We need to gain weight. Why do we need to gain weight??? For what reason???
Omg the struggle to find the perfect jeans 
... Thank God for slimfiting
... Thank God for slimfiting
Everyone complains about how boney your butt is. I really avoid sitting on ppls laps because of this
The way we have to make holes in our belts
Oh yh no tits too 90% of the time
People being mad at us for eating junk food then proceeding to complain about how we don’t eat at all. We never do catch a break
Our bracelets and wristwatches have to be resized every time.
Why do you think calling someone Chicken legs is funny???
Why are you pinching my waist telling me “Omg you are so skinny”??? Why??? What is the reason for this??
Palazzos???? Hell noooo
Am I the only one that gets cold easily??
People envy you but you know they probably wouldn't be much happier in your shoes
If it doesn’t have a cushion, it’s 100% uncomfortable
You know when you serve a huge portion and finish it but leave a little boot on the plate and all of a sudden “do you have a thing against food?”.
God forbid you hit your hip on a table... the pain
In a Bus or Keke you get the horrible seat because you are “thin”.. Why can’t I sit well?? Didn’t we all pay the same amount??
The moment you have health issues they be like “how come? Aren’t you slim?” Dear it doesn’t work like that
The way you feel guilty anytime ppl around you start talking about loosing weight
People judging you for being skinny. This whole "thick is beautiful" movement is fine, but if I'm perfectly healthy, don't judge me for being skinny...
Why will you be asking me if I’m SS???? What sort of human being are you??
“You won’t be nice for doggy style”
Lmaoooo. Bold of you to even assume I want to even do that
Lmaoooo. Bold of you to even assume I want to even do that
What hurts the most is that most of these comments come from our family , coworkers and friends
Body con dresses???? Hell no. My insecurities jump out
“meat is for men bones are for dogs”
Why would you even say this??? Why???
Why would you even say this??? Why???
No don’t say “if you are not careful you will soon disappear”
Yes, We do eat, probably more than you.
These and many more things are what we all go through every day and it’s really not nice
Always having to hide our bodies under Boubous and Big T-shirts
“I’m scared of hugging you”.... well noone asked you for a hug
God forbid they find us eating a salad or being vegetarian.... “why are you doing that aren’t you skinny already?”
Why aare you so obsessed with our thigh gaps??? Why??
“Why don’t you become a model”
Why can’t you think that not everyone wants to be a model
Why can’t you think that not everyone wants to be a model
“You look like a little boy”
People say this a lot... What’s more hurtful is that even our fellow women do this too

“You are shaped like a white girl”
Are you being serious right now? Is there a specific way races are shaped??

“You don’t know what it’s like to struggle with weight”
Struggling with weight is not just limited to the high end of the scale. Skinny ppl struggle too.

“0 is not a size”
It is. It exists It’s someone’s size and it is just as valid as a 6 or a 16. All of which are perfectly fine.

Being unable to donate blood because you don’t fit the 110 pins requirement
Don’t describe us a “that skinny girl” or “the thin girl”
Oh yes my bra from 6 years ago still fit and my clothes too. Lol
End of my thread but there’s so much more .It’s simple:women are beautiful and shouldn’t be slim-shamed or fat-shamed. We as women know how hard it is to live in this society as they continue to put pressure on us about our bodies. Let’s celebrate each other, including ourselves!
Be empathetic because you really don’t know what we have to put up with every time. There was a time I used to cry every time I was alone. I never really forgot about the “jokes”... looking into the mirror and hating what you see. Sigh
