This website is created for women who naturally have a small body frame.This might seem like the ideal body type for many women, but the real life twiggys often struggle with their body image. Many naturally thin women want to gain weight – but can’t.
If you are naturally skinny, it can be hard to understand why your body is working different than most other people’s bodies. Here are some articles that can help you understand the way your body works and how to stay healthy when you are naturally skinny:
- Why am I skinny? - a physical therapist explains the factors that determine body physique.
- A natural twiggy’s life - psychological insight in the life of natural thin people.
- How to gain weight when you think you can’t - a physical therapist describes ways to gain weight in a healthy way.
- Can naturally thin people eat whatever they want?

I just ran across your blog and I want to say well done. I am also a lifelong skinny person and have always been embarrassed to share my insecurities about it because everyone else seemed to get offended when I did. My former employer used to (and still does when I see her) always ask me if I was sick or if I was eating anything or if I had an eating disorder and I began to get so angry! I felt like saying, “I’m not skinny, you’re fat!” but that isn’t really true either. She was also a perfectly fine weight and I envied her boobs. Anyway, it is a difficult subject to present well and you have done an excellent job from what I can see.
I just started a blog (url listed above) if you want to check it out. It started as a response to the question – you are so skinny, do you eat? – but I am being more inclusive by including anyone within the range of a normal BMI, not just those at the low end. I’d love any comments or suggestions you might have.

Thank you for making this website. I’m naturally thin and I love it.

How can I do cardio without losing weight? I’d like to work out to improve my heart rate, but if I jog I’m afraid I’ll lose the weight I’m so desperately trying to hold on to.
I wish i was naturally skinny. I think its just unfair.. but i am cursed with small A cup breasts.
