so not cool to say that a certain body type is a myth! some thinner people really do have a hard time gaining weight, just as some naturally larger people have a hard time losing weight. one of my closest friends is naturally thin at around 95-105lbs, especially through all of her teen years, and just recently broke past 110lbs at age 23. high metabolisms are scientifically very real; i used to have a pretty high metabolism that would give me constant exhaustion and make me hungry all the time, but now that i am almost 20, it isn't quite as bad as it used to be. either way, it doesn't seem right to make a post like this just outright saying that everyone works to be skinny when it isn't like that, and some people really just have the luck of the draw (or, for people like my friend, unluck of the draw—everything is different for everyone).

reminder that 'naturally skinny' is a myth

so-called 'naturally skinny' people simply just eat less. whether they know or not.

i miss back when i was 13 and was like that.

i was always skinny, this wasnt because i had an insanely high metabolism, but because i just ate less than i did when i developed depression. i would eat lunch and dinner when it was put in front of me and didnt bother to look for snacks in the day.

that 'naturally skinny' friend who has the biggest meal of everyone when you go out to eat, had a snack for breakfast and forgot to eat lunch

that 'naturally skinny' coworker who eats all day, has a few bites of a snack at a time.

that 'naturally skinny' cousin says he ate a bag of crisps, only had three crisps then forgot about the rest.

but people are so jealous of their 'insane metabolisms'

its an illusion, i promise.
