Double Standard Skinny Shaming

Okay, I'm skinny. Let's talk about it. After a few comments about my ribs and opinions that I should put on weight, it's time for me to address it. Won't be the first, won't be the last, and so is life. 

A human being's body structure is never, never simple. The truth of it- I have a stomach disorder called gastroparesis, my stomach shrinks when I eat, causing around the clock nausea and pain, and vomiting when I eat. I've dealt with this for 6 years. 

But am I in any way ashamed of my body, absolutely not. I love my body, I love what it is able to do, and I love how strong I am. I'm proud that I've actually put on 5 lbs in the past month with a new medication that is helping me eat again.

This double standard of assuming because a person is skinny, they are contributing to body shaming and should hide their own body away in shame is ludicrous and just another way of polarizing our society. 

Point- We never have any idea what another human being is going through. Ever. Think before you judge someone for how they look. Or just keep on judging, and bringing negativity into your world. You always have a choice. My choice is to keep on getting stronger, being proud of my body and letting go of any ego-based hate that I receive. I'm gonna keep being me.
