10 Struggles That Every Skinny Girls Knows To Be True

Us skinny girls have to put up with a lot of crap. Being skinny ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, so here are 10 things we're all tired of. And shake that skinny bootay....

1. People just don’t get it.

People don’t understand that no matter now much you eat, you don’t gain weight and you dislike your size just as much as the next girl. We all have our insecurities, believe it or not.

2. Awkward dancing.

While your friends are all shaking their booties to Anaconda, you’re awkwardly shuffling beside them being reminded that you have no buns, hun. A sad day for everyone then.

3. Insults.

People have no problem letting you know how skinny you are. To them nothing is an insult, so it’s not unusual to hear things like ‘Do you eat anything?’ or ‘You’d blow away in a strong wind.’ Em...thanks?

4. Clothes.

There’s nothing worse than a top that hangs halfway down your chest because you ain’t got boobs to fill it. There is also that heartbreaking moment when the smallest size in the shop doesn't fit you, plus everything you wear drowns you. Curves you say?

5. Skinny shaming.

Don’t get me wrong, everyone should love their body, but don’t put down the skinny girls to make the curvy ones feel better- it just isn't cool. Be proud of what you have, regardless of size.

6. Bony bums.

You refuse to sit on people's laps for fear that you might crush their thighs with your bony bum which is never fun. Sometimes a girl just needs an instant chair, you know?

7. Comparing body parts.

People love to check how many times they can wrap their hand around your wrist and point out that their calf is in fact the same size as your thigh. Your point being?

8. Summer clothes.

While everyone else is roaming around in shorts and crop tops, you’re layered in clothes trying not to freeze to death. It's not like we have any extra insulation, after all.

9. Love for Food.

You get a some strange looks when you say you love food, can’t a girl enjoy a burger without someone questioning her love for it? We all have to eat, after all.

10. Still, things aren't so bad.

Despite the struggles of being a skinny girl, it’s mostly okay because you can eat whatever foods you want and don’t have to worry about gaining weight. Yay!
