I am naturally skinny and I do not want to be fat or skinny. I want to be healthy. I have a fast metabolism so I don't have other problems that most people have gaining weight. I love junk food but do not eat it often. I grew up in a household where it is healthy eating. Almost every meal was cooked at home, not from t a fast food place. So, maybe that is why I am so thin. I always say and said that if anyone came to stay with my family, they would end up losing weight since they would not eat junk food but fresh food. I eat till I am full. I eat when I am hungry, not when I am not bored or emotional.

This anorexia seems to be a cultural problem. In my family and culture, people wanted to look curvy not skinny. You get chastised if your skinny and curvy people are admired. Strange how cultures can be so different and create different social problems.
