Is being skinny really that important to people?

To me it is, I have lost weight and I was skinny growing up. I had psychological issues. But If I'm 158lbs and my gal told me to get a slimmer body I would. I have gone down to 144lbs and 133lbs. I have a different mind set and look at things differently. I just don't share why, I do love food but this hasn't been a good year for me. I've been all over the place. I will regain my body but I wonder if it will still look like the one I had in 2014. Now that I think of it I should of never gave in and maintain that body. A homosexual told me I looked better at 163lbs and I told him I liked being at 133lbs.

To very shallow people its high on their list. However, I dont believe the vast majority find it important. Its not to me. Outward appearance will always change over time. Whats inside a person doesnt change, or at least doesnt change as significantly. In my opinion, those in a long term relationship focus more on whats inside than outside. Outside is important as we should be attracted to someone, it just shouldnt overshadow more important aspects of a person.

Just my 5 cents.

Its one of those the clothes don't make the man type situations. Those women's sizes has absolutely nothing to do with them having a relationship or even maintaining the relationship because they have to put in the work in order to sustain it. What i find sad is that society makes people believe that it matters. People have all sorts of reasons for the way that they look from genetics to unhealthy lifestyles to medical conditions. But the underlying reason matters not to society because everyone wants to keep up with the Jones'. Why cant we just accept how we look and age gracefully? And if we aren't satisfied with how we look we eat healthy, exercise, live healthier lives to change it and if nothing works we just accept it as who we are.

If it matters to them, they are missing out on some of the most wonderful people.

Some see primary value in physical appearance that adheres to their chosen standards. Good for them. There's plenty of others out there that look first to the internal qualities.

Physical relationships and physical appearance are two different aspects. Everyone has their choice and opinion about it. Compatibility matters most for long lasting relationships.

Yes. I genuinely feel sick when I see fatties and I refuse to get even slightly fat. That's why I go to the gym almost every day and only eat one meal per day

It’s more a health thing, and it says a bit about a persons character.

theres nothing good about being overweight and fat. Not for the person nor their family
