I think that the discrimination against fat people results in some very negative bashing of skinny people.
Skinny people (women especially) receive a LOT of hate. But notice that the hateful comments always come from people who are more insecure about their bodies and generally their fat as well.
Coming from someone who was never too fat but nice and curvy (when I was praised like all the time for my looks), to someone who became VERY skinny (I lost around 20 pounds), and then someone who has bounced back to a normal weight.. I can say that during my skinny period, people made me feel horrible. I was called names, anorexic, flippant comments were directed to my face at parties.. and it got worse.
And the thing is, I was never anorexic. I was perfectly healthy: just vegan and very into working out.
All the comments and some incidents in my life contributed to a depression.. and then I didn't take care of myself well. And the veganism wasn't properly organized in my diet. I became weaker and weaker, and then over the next few months, ate more and non-vegan, and exercised much less.. to get to where I am now.
I still get skinny hate. I ignore it (and think of it as a compliment).
