I Struggle With My Body Image

The other day I was at the gym and this woman who was on the thread mill next to mine approached me and asked “Why do you even workout? You are way to skinny, and need to eat” then laughed about it as if it was a joke. 😑 Yes, I am very aware that I am small in size, and no I am not trying to loose more weight, I’m trying to better my lifestyle, because yes I might be skinny, but I can’t even walk up two staircases in a row without running out of breath. And let me tell you something, telling a “skinny girl” that they should “Eat more” is just as bad as telling a “fat girl” that they should go on a diet. But somehow people make a huge deal out of one and not the other. Everyone comes in different shapes and sizes and it’s not okay to shame someone for it. People should really learn their priorities in life and mind their on business rather than try to push their personal opinion on others. Got nothing nice to say? Don’t say it all.

Ur beautiful just ignore them and improve yourself
I fully understand this. Most of my life I was under weight and hated people always pointing it out. Now that I'm older, I have the opposite problem and get fat shamed
I suspect she thought she was giving you a compliment but you are right of course--people should refrain from saying you should look different from what you are.
