You sound like me. One time I ate like 9 oreos and I felt awful and someone said "9 oreos? that's 'eating badly' for you? haha"
but I bike a lot because it's basically the only thing I enjoy these days, law school has taken everything else that I love.

I totally get where you're coming from. Now for me, I have actually cut back on a lot and as a result I think my preferences for food have changed since it's been so long since I cut a lot of crap out of my diet. But from time to time a little chocolate never hurts, especially delicious dark chocolate. But yeah, for the most part I'm not on an extreme diet although I do check my calories and go pretty strictly by serving size. I do also go to the gym, but at this point it's less about a sense of obligation and more related to the fact that I just like to exercise.
It's a pretty shitty generalization, I agree with you. You don't have to be vegan and a gym rat/bunny to be skinny..

This, exactly. I maintain on ~1400 calories and would have to struggle to eat over 2000 calories a day. I can't imagine how I would gain a significant amount of weight unless it involved eating to the point of being uncomfortable for weeks in a row. :/

Are you really tiny? I'd be like 90lbs if that was my maintenance.

I'm on the lower end of the normal BMI range but yeah, I'm largely sedentary at the moment due to finals and such. :(

They're so dumb. You can eat like shit and be thin, they're not mutually exclusive. I've been on a frozen pizza and chocolate diet getting my BMI down. Sure, I should eat more vegetables but at least I'm not a fucking butter golem. Constant vigilence. It's too easy to think you didn't eat much and be way over.

I'm with you 100%. It pisses me off how it's always about extremes with these people. "Skinny bitches spend 6 hours a day at the gym and eat only cucumbers! That's why they are skinny!"
Ughhhhh, hey fattie: It's been over a month since I stepped in to a gym and I still lost weight! And guess what? I ate a cheeseburger today! I just didn't have 6 of them and I went for a walk out in the snow!

I don't get it either. i don't watch what i eat. don't exercise at all. sit in front of my computer all the time. fast food at least once a week. meat and potatoes all the frigging time. I used to be 230lb but i'm 155lb now. All just from eating the right portions and cutting down on sugar. that's literally it.

How tall are you? Im 6'2 and recently weighed 220 and after about 2 months of less and better eating and now weigh 190. Just trying to get a gauge of what a healthy weight is for your height compared to mine.

I completely agree! I'm 22, female, 5'6, about 128 lbs (perfectly healthy weight), a full time student, and lazy as shit. I eat chocolate about every evening, and only occasionally go on walks with my bf. And I'm not fucking fat! The fat chicks in my program (which is a terminal degree, so you'd expect some semblance of logic, but in vain) are always going on about how they don't understand how I can have gotten SKINNER (oh heaven forbid I lost maybe 5 lbs? Probably from walking through campus for school) since we got here, because "stress" makes them gain weight and oh I must have "magic genes". Like no bitch, half my family is fucking fat. I just don't eat a whole pizza when the school offers free lunch :/ Then if I refuse to shove 2nd or 3rds of free food down my face, they rag on me for how I need to not lose any weight "or my boobs will go away"...yeah, because wearing a 32 DD bra at a roughly 20.8 bmi totally means I only have boobs cause I'm fat hahaha
