today i was called disgustingly skinny... (storytime/rant on body shaming)

today i was called disgustingly skinny...recently there was an incident where a woman came up to me and shamed me for how “thin” i was. her exact words were “oh my god you look disgustingly skinny, you need to go eat something now.” a few times in my life i’ve been made fun of because of my weight from peers, and even family members, especially coming from a hispanic culture. for a long time i was stuck in this weird middle ground, i was too skinny to some but not skinny enough like the models i saw on magazines. my toxic thinking as an adolescent thought if people keep calling my skinny and telling me i look “anorexic” then why not become what i’m labeled as. if i’m the girl “who never eats” then might as well stick to that. i can’t make it make sense right now but it’s how i thought. as i got older and being “thick” and having big boobs and a butt were trendy, i started to strive to be that way too. until i finally realized i am petite, i’m 5’3 and weight about 110 pounds. I have a small stomach and a fast metabolism. I don’t feel like eating until I get a stomachache to please nasty people in society. i have small perky boobs, a small waist, and a cute small booty. i’m a small woman and that’s just that. the day that woman said that to me i woke up and took extra time picking out my outfit and getting ready (it was the 2nd picture here) and i felt SO good. but after she made that comment for a moment i felt defeated and thought about just laughing it off like all the other times, but instead i told her that was the rudest thing i’ve ever heard in my life and i know i look good. body shaming comes in all shapes and sizes, to me calling someone disgustingly fat and disgustingly skinny equate the same thing. it’s 2019, teach your friends, parents, and co-workers NOT to comment on other people’s bodies PERIOD. you have no idea the negative effect that you can create on someone’s self esteem/worth. even though i may not 100% love the skin i’m in always, i am taking steps everyday to getting there. and i sure as hell won’t ever let someone tell me what i should and shouldn’t look like again.
