“People are jerks. I don’t look emaciated — I look healthy!” she tells In Touch, on newsstands now. During her Jersey Shore heyday, she was at her heaviest weight of 146 pounds. Now, a slim 96 pounds, the star of MTV’s Snooki & JWoww insists she’s not too skinny.

“My arms still jiggle when I wave! I’m 4-foot-9, which is the size of a third-grader, so weighing 96 pounds is normal for me," she says.
