"If I can't call you fat, don't call me skinny"
This posting may come across rude but hey, if you know me you know I don't care and I mean every word. Everyday for the past ummmm I don't know how many years people have been making comments to me like:
" you're soooo skinny"
"you need to eat"
"you need like 20 lbs"
Catch my drift? Now if I were to comment back to those SAME people:
"hey, you're fat"
"you should maybe try NOT eating so much"
"you can stand to lose like 20 or more lbs"
it would be like blasphemy. I would be considered extremely rude, mean, and would receive a bunch of "how could you say that" remarks from whoever the person went and cried to. Honestly, what's the difference??? The same way you don't want people pointing out how overweight you are, I don't care to hear your opinion on how underweight I am. (Which I'm not!). The last time I checked, whenever I go to the doctor I come back with a "great" health report, can you say the same?
Don't get me wrong I understand that sometimes people are saying it in a joking manner (and I'm always down for a good laugh), and mean nothing by it, but I'm also smart enough to tell the difference. People should just worry about their own weight. Everyone was not meant to be the same size. The same way it's hard for a large person to lose weight, it can be hard for a smaller person to gain weight. So, if it's their goal to gain weight and they are struggling, your pointing out that they are slim definitely is not helping.
So let this be a warning to those who decide it's their duty to inform me of my so called "weight problem". From now on I'm shooting from the hip. I'm no longer holding back the comeback (which I always have), so be prepared.

I feel you there....I USED to be called skinny. I started getting active with sports, gained weight. I was still called skinny. I lifted weights before I knew it I was stout. I was comfortable...but still someone had an opinion. I stopped working out. Stopped eating right now look at me. Not totally fat but not comfortable...at least not to your eye. Its like no matter what you are or how you are there is always gonna be someone to rain on your parade. I say...Do what you feel is right. Do what makes you happy. You are the only one that has to deal with the outcome...be them good or bad.
