whether people like it or not, some people are NATURALLY skinny! yes, it is true. and also, just because skinniness comes naturally to some people, NOT ALL of us are cocky about it. its bigger people letting their jealousy get the better of them. just because you have more meat on your bones, it doesn't make you any better than people who aren't as meaty. its about time people stopped spitting thair dummy out and acting like kids in a tantrum when they see someone thinner than they are.
jealous overweight girl- "i hate that there are people in this world thinner than me :( its NOT FAIR!! it makes me feel fat, so instead of us dieting, skinny people should beef up!" um... yeah
