Why Skinny People Have It Better Than Big People

[Anonymous]

I'm making this Take because a lot of people say being skinny is just as bad as being big.

We get made of too

Can't gain weight for anything

Well here's why skinny people have it better than bigger people.

Self acceptance

Self acceptance is very important, you should feel comfortable in your own body regardless of what it looks like, but when you're bigger self acceptance isn't really an option.

When have you ever heard a bigger person say they accepted that they were bigger, and they're happy about it?

Never.

Also when someone is big you'll often hear them say

This isn't my body

or

This isn't who i am

They don't accept themselves as being big, because they don't believe that's who they truly are.

It's somewhat like trying to get a M-F transsexual to accept that they are male.

Admiration

Skinny people are highly admired, people starve themselves to be skinny.

There are products everywhere... in order to make people skinny.

If someone has ever made fun or you for being "too skinny" Chances are they're jealous,

They wish they could fit into the clothes you wish you could fit into.

I can promise you one thing, you'll never hear a small person look at a bigger person and be jealous of them... ever.

Besides food, there are no products deigned to make you bigger,

And bigger people could starve themselves and try to make them bigger but it simply does not work like that. When people starve themselves and go hungry their body goes into something i think is called starvation mode? It's when you're not getting the amount of food in which your body is used to getting so your stomach gets bigger pushing all the stored/access fat to the surface of the belly.

Physical Endurance

Last but not least the most obvious one, physical endurance.

Lots of people think big people are stronger than others because of how big they are but, that's not the case, they simply just weigh more. Someone who weighs 90 pounds could be just as strong as someone who weighs 300.

Big people aren't able to do anything physical without having to catch their breath a million times.

they aren't able to lift themselves, there's just too much fat for the amount of muscle that they have.

Bigger people wouldn't be able to run for their lives in a dangerous situation.

They can't go outside and enjoy physical activities without slowing everyone else down, which can ruin the moment.

Side Note:

Most of this does not apply to everyone who is big, or skinny.

there is someone out there who is big and proud of their size, this is just for the majority of people.

Also some women prefer to be bigger because they aim to be curvy, so this take was really mostly towards men, no man aims to be curvy.

Well no straight man.

If you're going to call people 'skinny' then you might as well refer to people as 'fat' as well. 'Skinny' and 'big' aren't opposite adjectives. Either say 'skinny' and 'fat' or 'small' and 'big'. Stop trying to change the English language in order to not 'offend' someone when someone could just as easily take offence at being called 'skinny'.

Some people are big; some people are small; some people are average and plain.

People come in all different shapes and sizes. Celebrate diversity. :)

Maybe a couple years ago.
But these days bigger and skinny people can't win!
It's slim-thick.
Yes.
They have actually created some sub-type body that hardly any of us can achieve. Literally, they realised bigger people were embracing their curves, so they had to put a stop to that.
"Nope, you're too skinny. Where's your ass and teeties? Oh, so you gained weight to impress us? Sorry, you may have curves now but there's too much belly. You need a squat booty but it has to still jiggle. We haven't decided if we like thighgaps anymore. Maybe we like big thighs. We'll get back to you on that one. Hmmm how can we make sure every woman feels unsatisfied with herself? Ah, slim-thick. Yes. You must be skinny, but still thick, ya know? Like skinny, but only store fat on the lady lumps like a collection of cancerous growths on your body. Yes. And for men, the old idea still seems to be working. Just make it standard that they have to be really ripped and have really low body fat to the point it screws with their hormones and they never get to feel happiness again"

[myTake Owner]

Haha that's why i added what i did at the end
its different for women.. they go for some odd shape so i just excluded them

[xxmamichulaxx]

Oh thank god someone mentioned it. our generations ideal body type is Kylie Jenner - who bought her body in the first place. Big is bad and skinny is bad, we can't win. smh

[myTake Owner]

@xxmamichulaxx
You want that because of society but there's actually nothing wrong with your body
Unless you're extremely skinny to the point of starving then you're fine

[JulieXO]

Your description of today's ideal female body type is perfectly accurate :D

[xxmamichulaxx]

@JulieXO thank you lol, although ideal body types change every so often there's no point in conforming to then if you're already healthy

"skinny people have it better!"

Better for WHAT, exactly?

I'm not sure I'm reading this take correctly. Are you addressing this to skinny people? Fat People? or everyone altogether? I got the sense that you don't think skinny people have anything to feel self-conscious over? Like we're being dramatic if we worry about our weight.

I agree with a lot of your points but I have to disagree with the overall intension. It sounds like your trying to explain to skinny people why heavier people struggle more than us, and from the quotations you've used it sounds like your doing this because you've heard some slim people voice some self-doubt. To a lot of us you're not telling us anything we don't already know (a lot of those points are the exact reason I started eating healthy and became physically active).

"My problems are worse than yours"

No one said it was a competition. It doesn't matter if skinny is considered the epitome of beauty. All people have their personal preference of what beauty is. I can honestly say that I have been harassed for being naturally skinny by jealous bitches for years. It took years for me to accept my body for the way it is. I constantly wished that I was bigger and wished that I can have a bigger ass. If my life is so great because then more fat people need to get off their asses and get skinny so they see that its not that exciting. Instead of saying this whole, "who has it worse shit," how about we agree that body shaming is stupid and needs to stop?

[KaylaJoy]

I relate to you a lot on this- very well said

[1truekhaleesi]

@KaylaJoy I'm glad you could relate. Thanks! I wasn't planning on ranting but that came out.

Skinny people can still be unhealthy, still not feel happy with their body (and "fat" people be happy with theirs) and really "skinny" isn't what we want promoted. What we want is a healthy body. This may mean you're a little chubby, you're really toned, or just skinny. But it's not seclusive only to skinny people. That being said, accepting the fact that you're obese and doing nothing about it is NOT good. Saying you're curving when you're literally jepordizing your health is not good, not okay, and not "beautiful". You can accept yourself but still strive to be a better you. That's the only problem I have with overweight sensationalism

[helloitsmethere]

That's true... we have it better than bigger people, but it doesn't mean that our issues should be dismissed.
I have been suffering from self esteem issues since I was little because of my body type. I also probably grew up in a different culture from you to understand...

[RJGraveyTrain]

Some people also don't realize that thin doesn't equate to better health or endurance. I have friends who appear bigger, but are in better shape/have higher endurance than their naturally thin friends who are out of breath after 15 minutes of playing soccer. I also agree, you can't dismiss one person's issues because you feel yours is worse. It's this awful "victim vs. victim" mentality. Trying to prove who has it worse instead of addressing the actual core issue.

[myTake Owner]

@RJGraveyTrain
Bigger people can't play soccer for more than a few seconds
Our definitions of big must be way different

[JulieXO]

Being too skinny is just as bad as being too fat. I'm not glorifying obesity, I'm just saying neither extreme is good.

[peachblossomluck]

Here's something which seems obvious. Being fat sucks more than being thin. I have been fat and I have been thin. Being fat completely changes your life and all those ways are bad. Being thin is a far better quality of life. People who have had experiences being both know this. No bullshit. There is nothing good about being fat, nothing at all.

[Anonymous]

Men do aim to be strong and i disagree with the 90pound vs the 300 the 90 pound guy most probly can't lift the extra 210 pounds the 300 pound guy walks around with every day.

Its probly best to be heavier than the nhs ideal bmi and ripped especially if you live somewhere cold.
In most cases for guys It's not too much weight its too much fat thats the problem ideally you want about 10-15% 300pounds of 10% body fat is going to do just fine.
You want to look strong toned and being strong requires some amount of body weight.

To the diet pills were prescribed me for the rapid mastering of food. In a trailer very even nothing expensive and over-the-counter doctor if interestingly I a web-site will leave if it is not that can tell the experience (pharmacy-house. com/list-medical/weight-loss-pills-without-prescription. php )

[annie2016]

I am skinny because of high metabolism. So I can eat whatever I like and mostly I am being envied of that. I think that is one good thing about being skinny. But I am not too skinny. I am somewhat petite. Be happy no matter what size you are in now I think that is what people should be thinking of. :-)

[MarkRet]

Sometimes it works the other way. When I was a kid, I was the lightest, skinniest of all the boys. I usually had fat adults, and even my fat parents, commenting about it, and teasing me about it. They kind of viewed me as 'weak', or 'a girl'. It got annoying, and some of my relatives I refused to even speak to them.

[Live_love_143]

Thats messed up

[Live_love_143]

Who ever wrote this lamfo.. skinny people dont like there bodys too.. thats y guys get buff. And girls buy boobs and ass lol 😂

[myTake Owner]

skinny people are admired and looked at as models
weather they like it or not they are
skinny people only wanna change because they wanna keep up with society
they do it for other people and not themselves
if nobody gave 2 shits about big boobs do you think women would get implants?
no... they'd be just like fingers they wouldn't even think about touching them
but being big is different
you don't wanna be big, it won't have anything to do about society.. just nobody wants to be big.

[Live_love_143]

Dude Your a kid right

[Live_love_143]

Some people do want to be fat google it.. People pay to watch people eat.
I dont look at skinny people and think there model type. being skinny doesn't make you beautiful. Models come in all shape and sizes

[Live_love_143]

people get there boobs done and ass for them selfs. It makes them feel better about the way they look.

[myTake Owner]

they do now but back then they didn't
almost everyone who isn't skinny has had that thought at least one
"i wish i was skinny"
nobody has ever tohught
"i wish i was fat"

[Live_love_143]

women have been getting boob and ass implants before society even had to say

[Live_love_143]

Im fat and iv never said i wish i was skinny.. plastic surgery has been around for years tell me back then like 1800s 1900 2000 when is then

[Live_love_143]

i'm sure the people who are very sick and thin not able to gain weight probably said they wish they were fat

[Live_love_143]

speak for yourself because your opinion is only your opinion.. there so many different cultures and different body styles and people perceive things differently the American government wants people to stay thin because when the New World order happens the coffin sizes for their bodies are not made bbw lol

[Notorisch_Arschloch]

If it's any consolation, we still have to endure the daily hell of seeing all the disgusting fats. Not that the fats need any consolation with their great gaping maws stuffed with comfort food at all times.

[Anonymous]

Skinny people have better health and more social opportunities then overweight people but they also work harder to keep their bodies fit so in a way they deserve all the attention that they get.

[nevermoregirl7]

What about those that just have a high metabolism who don't need to work out?

[coachTanthony]

The only thing I took from this is you trying not to offend anyone... congrats! Sometime when you do a MyTake you need to take a side not give side notes on how this isn't this or that! in my opinion

[Spelling95]

If we have it so great, put down the doughnut and go to the gym a few times a day. Then you can get all these great privileges we apparently have.

[Live_love_143]

?
funny af

[Triggered]

I'm "skinny" and I have little to no endurance so I don't know what you're basing this off of lol... everyone has self esteem issues no matter what their size is.

[Lorenz965]

Thats because you dont exercise regularly.

[Triggered]

Well yes, but he's talking about skinny people, not fit people.

[Lorenz965]

i bet that you would have even less stamina if you were 20 kilograms heavier.

[Triggered]

I think you're missing my point... we really should stop comparing and just accept that everyone has issues and insecurities no matter what their weight.

[RJGraveyTrain]

"My problems are worse than yours." I hate this mentality.

[RJGraveyTrain]

I wasn't gonna rant but I changed my mind, rant time.

This is bull. Not entirely in concept but in mentality. I can say my entire life I have been harassed about my body for being too thin, and when I gained weight, for being too big or having developed breasts. I was naturally small and flip flopped for 6, nearly 7 years with eating disorders. Being thin doesn't equal; model body, better health, better endurance. I will say that our bodies aren't criticized as harshly as bigger people, that's true, but people STILL and have always harassed people like me and others for our appearance. I eat healthy and work out and I have people accusing me of having an eating disorder for it, just because I'm small. Or if I feel bad about myself on a bad day I have bigger coworkers who put me down because I "don't have a real problem."

This whole trying to prove who has it worse shit is ridiculous. How about we all address the fact that this whole body obsession shit is generally out of hand, yeah?

[Anonymous]

Everyone comes in different shapes and sizes and they are beautiful. I myself am naturally skinny and I can't help it because my metabolism is so fast. But it is something that I have just learned to accept.
