Should I be concerned if I’m not my boyfriends usual body type?

Anonymous
So I’m a 22 year old 5’3 female, and I’m aware that I’m kinda underweight. I weigh (last I checked) around 102-103 pounds. I’ve always been skinny shamed by friends and family and while I wish I did, I do not have a big butt or giant boobs. I am not slim thick, and I always been insecure about this as it is because that’s the beauty standard now a days…However my insecurities have went through the roof because I’ve gotten in a relationship and while he’s the sweetest guy ever, treats me amazing and claims he loves my body as it is, I’m fully aware I’m not his usual type. He loves thick/slim thick girls and big butts…. which I do not have.

I used to be slim thick a couple years ago then I went through a major depressive episode and lost tons of weight since then, and been living off 1 to maybe 2 meals a day or just snacks for the past couple years (as well as coffee and nicotine).

I sent him a pic of me when I did have this body type, and he said “see, THIS is what I like” and it kinda just made me feel…shitty. I made him answer me honestly if he actually likes my body, and he said “My type is your body, but with maybe 20-30 more pounds on top” and it was honestly just so depressing. Like I’m happy he’s honest, just sad that I can’t be that. I’ve tried eating as much as possible ever since then, and due to my fast metabolism I’ll maybe gain 2-3 pounds then it disappears just as fast. I’ve considered doing squats as well with eating but I’ve never worked out in my life so when I try it’s just so uncomfortable and hurts. 😕 Plus I’m not even sure if they’ll really work or not considering I just naturally have a small body/butt. He also liked pics of pornstars big butts on instagram and it made me more uncomfortable.

I’m so scared that he doesn’t like my body as it is and he might cheat on me with his type.. I also want to be his type not even just for him but for myself as well and I’m scared I’ll never be good enough.

Ladies and gents, should I be concerned?
