sick and tired of people calling me underweight

Honestly that IS pretty damn thin, im 5'10 and 145 atm and its about as thin as id want to be. That said, i still here those comments myself and almost everyone who makes them is overweight. Its their way if projecting their own insecurities on to you. Just ignore it, be thankful u arent fat, and move on. Most important thing is that your body feels good

No. Don't ignore it. If someone is attacking you, fight back and hit them ten times as hard. They will learn not to mess with you and will never comment on someone else's weight again.

If an insult bothers you (especially from a disgusting overweight person), defend yourself until they're silent and on the borderline of tears. They are the problem, not you.

This guy has good advice-

So what. The OP is sick and tired of it. The health risks of the overweight and the obese far outweigh (pun intended) the risks of underweight. It's not even close. Plus, the overweight/obese should never comment about someone else's weight. Ever. They need to be put in their place.

I was on flight two days ago and over 95% of the passengers would be classified at least as overweight. Probably > 50% as obese. It's disgusting what we're becoming as a culture.

I'm guessing you're overweight. Do you have a "condishun"?

Everwhere I go, i get called out for being too skinny.

I eat a sh1t load of food.

Should i really be concerned with this? I run fast, and dont get injured

Yes, your BMI is 17.4. Anything under 19 is considered anorexic. This has nothing to do with being called out or any other BS you might think. You need to gain some weight. Anorexia has very negative consequences. More so for women, but men will have problems too.

Far outweigh is a huge stretch my friend. Depends on the degree of each. Neither is good.

I'm 5' 7" and weigh 120. I am also a competitive runner (in high school). Mo Farah is 5' 9" and 128. Personally, I think you should weigh a little bit more as it could have some advantages with running and looks a bit better, but if it isn't causing problems and it is too difficult to gain weight, don't worry about it.

You are underweight. I'm about 6'0", too, and my racing weight was 145 at the lowest back in the day. I wasn't completely emaciated, but I don't think I had more than a few pounds to spare without compromising my health. You must have some crazy chicken legs. Being fast is nice, though.

Tell them you have cancer. That will shut them up.

You are taller than and weigh less than Rupp, and that dude is emaciated. However, he needs to do it to be a world-class runner and put food on his family. If you are a money-earning competitive runner, then it's what you have to do. If, however, you are thin because of a compulsive need to shave a second off the 15:25 5K, it might be time to research the risks of being too thin, like a much higher likelihood of early death.

When the majority of the population is overweight or obese it is to be expected.

I have been told numerous times I was underweight at 6'3" and 190 lbs.

No, no, no. Obesity is far, far worse. Not even close. Heart disease, diabetes, breathing problems, anemia from poor diet, unpleasant body odor, unattractiveness, lack of self-respect, higher rates of cancer... it just keeps going. The worst part is that the obese can affect other people in public settings (taking two seats, higher health care costs shared by all, higher airline tickets because they require more fuel due to higher plane weight, etc.).

Skinny people are not a public burden.

Every time someone calls you out for being too skinny, ask if they can have some of their fat, since they have plenty to spare? That will get them to be quiet. Worst case scenario you know you can out run them.

Honestly I agree with this. It's kind of not nice to say so I wouldn't say it to loved ones or close friends but if certain people keep nagging you about your weight and won't shut up about it, it's fair game.

Unless they feel morally superior because of their under-weightedness and discriminate against others for not being like themselves.

This is why I love going to the Pre Classic in Eugene. I look around and it's far from your "mall" crowd.

I'm 6'1 and 154 pounds. My students have called me anorexic. I'm about 5 pounds under the suggested weight of a 6'1" man.

You are athletically trim. They are just jealous.

You have to find the "right" weight that is best for your body. There's a range that works for you based on your height, age, and goals. As a 51 year old hobby jogger competing in my age group, running mostly 5k and 10k races, at a little less than 6 min per mile, at 5'11 I feel just right about 149 pounds. 5 pounds less and I feel weak, and 5 pounds more and I feel overweight. If I was training for marathons, I would definitely err on the lighter side just due to training. But running what I do, I like higher intensity races and run better with a little more strength and muscle.

If your day revolves around fastidiously watching what you eat, then you may be close to an eating disorder. If you are eating solid meals with more than enough calories to cover your daily expenditure due to training, you should be OK. But be aware it's easy to get obsessed with weight in an unhealthy way. Stay healthy.

Post a pic OP, I'm sure 6'0 , 128# looks great on you, share it!

It is a cook book!
