I am a skinny and bony girl, and have been since I was a kid. I don't starve myself, I eat as much as I want, and I don't care about my weight. But I don't put weight on easily. Personnally, I remember hating my body when I was small, thinking that it was disgusting and un-natural, but I couldn't do anything about it, I mean, I can't eat much or I'll be sick, so my stomach stops me from eating too much. I agree that fat people were, some time ago, not seen very well, but now (where I live anyway) it is the other way round. The fat, even obese people are accepted and no one ever says anything about their body shape or what they eat. It is socially acceptable to tell someone that they are anorexic and that their body is disgusting (even though it's just the shadow of ribs, like, what's the big deal?) but you can never tell a fat person that they eat too much, never.
It's weird how much I can relate to this photo...
