    I always love this type of thread-squabbling.

    Obesity has become such a pervasive problem that people do not even understand what it means to be skinny.

    I grew up in the '70s when we ate the appropriate amount of food. 50 years later let me tell you my friends, what you think is skinny is NOT skinny.

          This thread is insane. Apparently skinny people can’t jiggle because…I guess they’re not allowed to have meat and organs and other squishy jiggly things?

          Just sexy bones I guess!

          I was honestly hopeful coming into this thread only to be confronted a wall of people basically arguing that cartoon bodies are an attainable beauty standard or something?

          No. That only happens when there’s surplus fat or stretched skin.

          Skinny people don’t jiggle.

          It’s really true.

        I really did not intuit how fat people truly are until I lost about 65kg and got fairly toned and muscular.

        I hit 73kg at 188cm at that was with so much added muscle vs prior. If you had taken away all the muscle mass that I had added through my journey I’m confident to say I would have been around 65kg. This was with around 11% body fat.

        Rediscovering at my own body in the mirror and seeing what actually skinny was… Completely blew my mind and changed my perspective forever
