Eden Cafe – Body Image Week

All this week at Eden Cafe, the Eden Fantasys Blog, they will be featuring articles discussing issues with women and body image. Today they kicked off with an article titled “Being Thin Ain’t Easy” which while I can’t relate, it’s nice to see body issue concerns from a women on the opposite end of the spectrum than me. She discusses how being “too skinny” can have the same social impact on a person as being “too fat”, which lots of people tend to overlook these days.

It’s not just the social things that make being thin difficult either. If something happens that causes me to lose much weight (like the bout with mono that I had when I was younger), it can be awful. It impossible to describe how unpleasant it is when you move and your skin feels too tight across your ribs and hips. Heart palpitations are not uncommon during those times either, nor are skipped periods. Thin people just don’t have a lot of leeway to allow for temporary declines in their weight like others do.
