Hey girls,

So I have an extremely high metabolism, which means I can eat a ton of food and not gain weight, not that I’m complaining.

However, because of this I’m super skinny and petite and will NOT gain weight regardless of what I do. I exercise regularly and eat a considerable amount of food regularly, so I’m pretty sure I’m healthy, my genetics just cause me to be tiny.

My problem with this is my image and how others view it, I guess... I love my body, but whenever I see my relatives or old friends, they go “damn girl, you need to eat more/exercise more” or “why are you so tiny?????” or sometimes even “is everything alright? Is there a reason why you feel the need to starve yourself?” (<— out of all 3, this one pisses me off the most) Sometimes my friends or others come up to me, put their fingers around my wrist and go “why are your wrists and arms so tiny? You need to work out” -.- I work out and run track pretty regularly, so it ticks me off a little but I usually try to laugh these things off.

Any tips...? I love and accept my body but is there any advice on how to handle this other than merely ignoring it and having it happen often?
