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

It has been proven over and over again that being overweight causes many diseases and even death but being underweight causes none of those. I hate being told to gain weight and you should too. Being overweight can be very very harmful to you in so many ways. YOU DON"T NEED TO GAIN WEIGHT TO BE HEALTHY. Losing weight is always recommended and it ALWAYS restores your health. For all my guys and girls under 96 lbs, its time to own it!

You can be dangerously underweight. There is a healthy range for all people, the range is not x and below. It is x-y.

@SouthernBoxer Dangerously underweight would be 88 pounds, barely a human being. I think weighing in the 90's is still very normal.

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.
