I'm a 17 year old girl, 5'7", 111 lbs. I've been skinny all my life, maintaining pretty much the same BMI for as long as I can remember. I eat healthily and exercise. I've never starved myself, I never purposefully skip meals, and I've never made myself throw up. I feel healthy and doctors always tell me that I'm fine, but then...

I'm always being told that I need to put on weight. I don't understand. I'm always being chastised for being thin, and I've met far too many people who assume that I starve myself.

I know that I shouldn't be bothered what other people think, but I hate that anyone would just assume that I have an eating disorder.  

This is me about a week ago.

If you saw a girl of my proportions, would you really think that she's too skinny to be healthy? If you think that I should put on weight, why do you think so?

you're not skinny. don't worry. it's all about how you feel. if you feel weak all the time, then you might be too skinny. otherwise, you're fine.

Your weight isn't that important. All that matters is eating enough of the right things. I think you know if you are healthy or not.
