There is nothing wrong or dangerous about having a low body mass. The opposite is deadly.

It's more deadly. The effects are much more acute. Low energy availability is very dangerous. Obesity is a chronic disease that cause's other chronic diseases. Being underweight causes acute failures and sudden death.

Shaming of anybody is wrong, that's a completely different subject.

@lightshinesthroughdarkness Again, it is not about your feelings. Sometimes, being shamed and having it pointed out is what that person needs. Telling them they are fine is wrong. You are helping place that person is his early coffin. Do not spread misinformation.

@Anon066 At 96 lbs I sleep less, stay up longer, get more done(work is usually more accurate and precise) and I feel happier since it feels good to look in the mirror. I want this for everyone but how could others want this good health if they are mercilessly shamed for being thin?

It's not about what you feel or think. There are facts for a reason. If you want to be as you are, that's fine, but don't spread false information. You are only hurting those that are unhealthy. Whether you are one or not.

@SouthernBoxer My intention is not to hurt them. My intention is trying to take the shame away from them cause I have felt thin shamming and it made me withdraw from alot of people and events. It is just as dangerous as fat shamming and just as there are people who are naturally fat there are people who are naturally thin. It is so painful to feel like less of a human being just because I'm not as fat as other girls. Underweight people are usually more attractive and healthy so when you get shamed by fat people you feel bullied. In response to being bullied you make a post like this...secretly fighting back against the people that attack your humanity and worth.

@lightshinesthroughdarkness Your health has nothing to do with your worth. Everyone has their opinions and likes. Some people find healthy people attractive, some people find others one burger away from a heart attack attractive, others find skeletons attractive. That has nothing to do with this. All in all, you might have good intentions, but you are going about it completely and utterly wrong.

@lightshinesthroughdarkness I’m not sure if you know how metabolisms work. Either way, being skinny isn’t necessarily a good thing. Being fit, is.

@Rokasu yeah, but being fit depends on muscle mass. People with low muscle mass cannot always help being skinny

@lightshinesthroughdarkness low muscle mass is a large risk factor for countless ailments. Just like being underweight.

@SW-User being underweight and not having nutrition in your body is bad. Being healthy underweight is very good cause underweight is healthy. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

@lightshinesthroughdarkness you need to see a specialist if you aren't already.

Legitimately, I'm in the nutrition field. You'd get referred out to a doctor.

@CoffeeFirst No, I'm trying to get people to accept one extreme as much as they accept the other. We have a right to exists without the shame some attach to a low weight.

Under 100 lbs. is unhealthy. Period. If you can't see that, something is wrong with your perception. @lightshinesthroughdarkness

@CoffeeFirst But why? Why should our weight be above 100lbs? 88 lbs would lookk like death, but at 96 lbs or less I feel as well as I did at any other weight. Just that my vision and concentration is better which is strange since I'm supposed to be starving.

@Miram No I'm not
