Thank you for sticking up for us skinny chicks, lol. :) I have been small all my life. Literally, they had to wait to start immunizations for me until I reached 10lbs...and I still wasn't that weight at 6 months. 33lbs at age five, and now at pushing 30,(after five babies) I weigh right around 100lbs, give or take. (Of course, I'm also short at 5'2)

I get tired of being accused of having an eating disorder because I wear a stinkin' size two. My permanent nickname is Miss Skinny...wonder how an overweight person would like it if I called them Miss Fatty. *sigh*

Some people are naturally heavier, and some are naturally thinner...there's room for all sizes of people, imo. Sorry for the rant, but this is a sore spot with me. :)

I have a preference for thin women as I believe many men do. It is just not acceptable to say it publicly or you will be chastised as the cause of eating disorders. The hatred I have seen directed at the women I have spent my time with is unbelievable. Now I understand that fat people get it pretty bad and I am not one to pick on them. But the women on women seething hatred of skinny girls is shocking. I guess it is okay though because in the end the skinny girl could walk off with their men anytime she wants.
