I know what it’s like being very skinny and getting your health questioned all the time. I also found when I was underweight that people had no shame in commenting on my body. Like when it’s the opposite, and someone is over weight people are sensitive about it because they understand weight is a touchy subject, but when someone is too skinny people Somehow think it’s okay to comment on it? I’ve heard countless comments and skeleton jokes and some of them were quite mean and really hurt me. don’t know if you can relate.

I just wanted to point out that metabolism slows down with age for all of us, so even you WILL gain weight more easily sooner or later and while it has its downsides i still think it’s better being on that side rather than the slow side..! And same with looking young, you might not find it so bad when in your 50s? =)

Also it’s really hard to have a “childish” looking body with a D-cup, I think much of it might be your old self image messing with you!

You're completely right and I can relate. There is definitely a double standard around insulting skinny people. I've been told things like "you can't be insecure, you're skinny" and it's the most strange thing to hear because I HATE my body, it's not conventionally attractive either unless we're talking catwalk standards (catwalk models are basically walking hangers for clothing which is why they have the skinny look, they are not the type of model considered sexy and womanly like you'd see in a men's magazine) and I know plenty of curvy/chubby/"fat" women who love their bodies (as they should because as long as they are healthy, they look great) so that doesn't make any sense. It can be very hurtful and mess with your self esteem for life.

There are members of my family still running their fast metabolism at a later age so I fear that it might not actually go away. I don't want my face to mature while my body doesn't, leaving me looking like some scary abomination. That's why I wish I took action sooner and earlier but I didn't know how or that I could.

You're right, my body is a little more recognised as adult now. However my D cups aren't particularly big, since my band size is small... they have enough volume to fill out the cups but it's still small at the same time. Another disadvantage of being small is that the cup size is deceiving, a lady with a wider band and a D cup would look much better and more mature than me. 

I know it really is a double standard and in my experience it’s not just a few people being ignorant but quite a lot of them.. I never had a problem telling anybody my weight, but I just couldn’t believe so many felt it was ok to ask that, even people I wasn’t close with. I guess there this assumption that everybody wants to be skinny still.

I really doubt you’ll look strange, also petite frames tend to resemble youth to most people! this might be a stupid question but have you checked for thyroid issues? I thinks it’s hyperthyroidism that causes issues with weight gain together with other symptoms, and it’s genetic. Just remembered I was tested for that at some point long time ago.

It was funny what you said about band size because I always thought the opposite - that a petite frame/band size makes breasts look bigger? Just interesting, but I can see how the chest is more “presented” if your band size is bigger.

Nerfertity I think what she means is the fact that the smaller the band size the smaller the cup volume for example a 28D is more like a 32C and nowhere near as big as say a 34D or 36D. It does make a difference.

Oh so band size isn’t just the measurement around ribcage like under the boobs? Sorry I bought all my bras from the same store since forever.. =)

Nope! It also affects the cup volume for example before I grew I was a 34DD but if I tried on a 32DD I could barely fit and my nipples would be scarcely covered. I think alot of girls in this forum dont get that hence Ive seen many question girls whom have gone up a band size instead of a cup size telling them they have not grown where as in reality they have just not a whole cup size
