A continuation of Rachel's post. Leaving a comment for her, I decided that my "issue" requires a whole post, not just a comment!
Read her post, to understand mine better.
The facts:
I am 26 years old, and I do not weigh enough to give blood.
For the last 15 years I have weighed right around 100 pounds, give or take a few pounds.
I am NOT anorexic or bulimic
Just because of my age and size it doesn't mean that I have some kind of an eating disorder. In fact, I LOVE to eat, and I HATE to throw up. Throwing up the food I love to maintain a body weight well below average, doesn't sound like fun. Neither does not eating the foods I love.
One time I was at walmart with a friend, he told me "damn melissa, your fat" OBVIOUSLY joking, and the woman in the isle goes "see! thats why your girlfriend is anorexic." OBVIOUSLY he's not serious since we both have smiles on our faces while it is being said. And I am laughing at the same time. My weight is NONE of anyone elses business, and they have no right to say anything!
Gaining weight for me is really difficult, I've definitely tried before, and I can't get above 110 pounds before i loose it within a few months.
I know, I know, there are a lot of you who are desperately trying to loose weight and can't, and you hate me for not being able to gain any. But the other end of the scale isn't always fun either.

well spoken! and you're right, i wish i had that problem :) but i'm not mad at you! i love all 100 pounds of you
AMEN SISTER!!
hehe:-)
I don't hate you! I'll even be wonderfully generous and give some of my extra weight to you! Aren't I sweet?
;)
GREAT POST!!! I just came across your post from American Mum's blog!
I CAN COMPLETELY RELATE!
I am 28 I am a size 1 & I am 105 pounds, and no I can not give blood! However, I eat ALLLL the time and NO I do NOT throw up!( & I don't ever exercise)
When I was in high school I was questioned by a school nurse about my so called "eating disorder"! It made me feel ugly and unhealthy looking.
Don't get me wrong I am very thankful for my fast metabolism but I completely agree the other end of the scale isn't always fun either:)
Nice to 'meet' you :)
Aw, I'm sure that's true.
Yes Melissa loves to eat!!! She east a doughnut every morning:-) Some people are just blessed with good metabolism. Love who you are! Don't let others get you down!
yes you east a doughnut lol :-) I meant eats and ok so maybe its not every morning but it sure is often...Thanks for sharing too :-)
I just read something else on a blog that talked about this exact issue. It was very well written, and I'll send you the link if I can find it again!
I think our society feels much more comfortable making comments to "skinny" people than they do to overweight people. I'm sure people think of comments towards obese people, but they would never be spoken out loud. For some reason it doesn't seem to be taboo to mention weight to people on the other spectrum. Although I'll never understand what you are going through (grin) I can sympathize with you.
That was totally me. The slowing metabolism in my 30's has really helped me keep the weight on. Just don't want it slowing even further. Right now is perfect.
I was like you until I turned 30. Then, my metabolism slowed down. After two babies, I stay between 108 and 110. I loved my weight then and I love it now. No apologies, either.
