I’m focusing on messages that I’ve seen on Tumblr that put down skinny girls, such as one that I saw that said “Men like meat on their girls, bones are for dogs” (something along those lines). I think “real women have curves” is better, and it’s great about encouraging women of all shapes to feel okay in their skin, but it’s unnecessary and wrong to have to put down skinny girls in the process :)

This is a reply to those posts that say things like “real women have curves!” etc. Not having curves doesn’t make you any less of a real woman.
Note: I am not trying to imply that HAVING curves makes you less of a real woman either…
Anorexia and bulimia are not the only eating disorders (though people with those eating disorders also might not be thin). Sometimes it isn’t physically obvious when someone has an eating disorder. Their eating disorder could be a mindset, or an unhealthy eating habit. Just because someone doesn’t look like they’re unhealthily thin does not mean that they’re not suffering from an eating disorder as well. Here is a list of eating disorders.
This may not apply to a lot of people or people may not necessarily want to reblog this, but I wanted to make this post just to spread awareness!
You might look better in those jeans than I do, but that doesn’t mean you’re healthier! This applies the other way too, but I think that it is a more common misconception that people who aren’t necessarily “thin” must eat unhealthily, or that they’ll have more problems with their bodies in the future.
Explanation: People think that everyone aspires/wants to be thin, but people who are naturally skinny might not actually like it, or they didn’t actually try to work to be really to be skinny, but it’s just the way they are naturally.
