I can't live, if living is without bacon

See? I'm not anorexic as some people seem to believe. I doubt a person with anorexia would eat bacon (if anything). Just because someone is skinny, doesn't mean they are drug addicts or have and eating disorder. Just as not all "overweight" people are pregnant or lazy (this is me reffering to tabloids "Oh my gah, Gwens pants are too tight! She's pregnant!"). People just have different body types and metabolisms (sp?), I wish people would realize that and get off my back! Plus there are many factors that go into weightgain/loss, other than food.

I also don't go for that BMI bullshit. I'm 5'5" (according to my sisters tape measure), and 116 lbs (according to my doctor, but I wouldn't trust his eyesight too well). I have no idea what my BMI is, and I'm fine with that. Except I'm cold a lot, and clothes are very loose on me. Ah well, I like sweaters. Also I'm a little weak, so I need some muscle.

But I do want to gain some weight, just to get people to leave me alone. Sometimes I eat when I'm not hungry, just so people don't think I'm skipping a meal. And I'm tired of feeling guilty when I shouldn't have to. Especially in my fourth period class, I hear a lot about anorexic models and girls starving themselves over body image. It also doesn't help that my sister watches a lot of Dr. Phil, and similiar shows.
