Society doesn’t give a shit about underweight people. We’re all going to rot and die someday. I’m sick of hearing all this crap about “weight loss” everywhere you go, with absolutely no acknowledgement of underweight people who need to gain weight to be healthy existing. What are we supposed to do? Rot and die? You go anywhere, endless isles of “weight loss” stuff yet absolutely no acknowledgement or trace of “weight gain” stuff for underweight people. Underweight is a serious issue, and people can get really sick from it, but people go on about how we’re so “lucky!111!11” for being slender, even though our health is in grave danger. We are not lucky. Eating whatever you want and not gaining is not lucky. It’s a problem, and it is really insensitive to insist that it’s “lucky” or “good”. People can die from being underweight, yet it just seems so invisible and I feel like nobody acknowledges my existence, or gives a shit. Even when I looked up “products to help underweight people” I ended up with 99% weight loss crap and 1% actual weight gain products. It’s sad that society just sweeps us all under the rug, treating us like we’re “lucky” when we’re really suffering under their noses. Think about it – you look up “healthy weight” and you get pages and pages and pages of overweight. Sure, it’s serious too, but there should be 50% of both things, not 99% overweight stuff and 1% underweight stuff. It’s so unfair how society just shoves this entire demographic of humans suffering from an actual problem under the rug and treats it as a good thing when it’s not. It also pisses me off how people think underweight people are suffering from an eating disorder. Some are, but a lot of us aren’t. Some of us are just born with the curse that we can’t have healthy weight. It’s just as bad as being over. We are not “lucky” – The fact that I am underweight as fuck despite eating lots of junk food is NOT lucky. It’s serious and I am sick of ignorant society belittling this serious issue as just “oh so lucky!11!11 superpower!11!” This means it’s harder for me to stay healthy, even if I do switch to healthy stuff. Genetics. Some chronic conditions. Body type. There is so much more to being underweight than just “eating disorder” and I would love to see society acknowledge the existence of underweight people more, and stop dismissing us as “lucky” or whatever bullshit. Am I lucky that my health is in grave danger and I am at a higher risk of death? Am I, to you, you pieces of shit?
