is it wrong that i want to be skinny?

do people really lose weight to be healthier? i feel like it’s a lie.. when people ask me why i lost weight, i say it’s to be healthier because if i said it’s because i want to be skinny, they’ll give me weird looks. (down 70lbs for anyone curious.)

i’ve been overweight my entire life until this past year (im 18.) i’m at a “healthy weight” now, but i’d still like to lose 15(+/-ish??) more lbs for aesthetic reasons. no i won’t be underweight, my goal is still “healthy” too.

i want to be skinny, i’ll truly never be too thin because i have some loose skin on my upper arms — i don’t mind it though.

i want to have a thigh gap and most of my remaining fat now is concentrated in my thighs (some belly tooD:), i’m noticing they’re getting smaller. i want to wear low rise jeans without my tummy sticking out. 😭 through dieting and exercise, i’m slimming down more!!

i’ve always dreamed of being skinny since i was little and i never thought it was possible, now that i’m almost there it’s crazy. looking at my collarbone is so motivating, i want to have boney knees too lol there have to be other people out there who think the same. influencers always promote losing weight to be healthy but i’m sure many of them lost weight for aesthetic reasons.. i know i can’t be the only one who lost/is losing weight to be skinny );
