This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yup, people call me "skinny" and I'm right at the borderline between normal and overweight. I could lose 20 lbs and still be in the healthy range. In fact, I'm trying to cut about 10 lbs just to make sure I don't creep up into the overweight range.

You have it completely right. Same thing happened to me, as soon as I was a single pound less than clinically overweight, I was being told by family I was dangerously skinny.

Some skewed perspectives for sure.
