People can go on and on about how skinny shaming is not a real problem, but I'm here to tell you that it is. It is as real as fat shaming or any other form of body shaming. My entire life I have been told that I am too skinny. People have 'diagnosed' me with every eating disorder you can think of. I've had a rumor started falsely calling me bulimic, and my aunt even convinced my family that I was anorexic. Eventually, I begun to hate myself. I desperately wanted to gain weight. Everyone was right, I was too skinny. Nobody thought I ate, so why should I? I wasn't gaining any weight from eating, so what was the point.  This way of thinking lead me to developing an eating disorder where I unconsciously starved myself by skipping meals, hardly eating, or eating extremely unhealthily when I did eat.
