When they say it isn't about the sex, it is about the sex and when people say criticism of fat

[ohheckyeah]

37. I don't know why people think it's acceptable

to comment on another person's weight.

After I had back surgery which came right after two other surgeries, I went into a a hypermetabolic state that caused me to lose a lot of weight. I wasn't starving myself I just started losing weight and lost a total of 40 pounds in about 4 - 6 months. The doctor started getting concerned when I dropped to 88 pounds.

You wouldn't believe the cruel statements people made, often total strangers - "OMG, you are so skinny" "you look anorexic" "blah blah blah". Yes, thanks for noticing and kiss my butt.

It physically and emotionally hurt to be that skinny - there was no cushioning on my bones and it wasn't fun. It took over a year to gain 10 pounds.

Now, I could stand to lose 10 pounds but that's another story.

People who are "concern freaks" need to learn what's appropriate and inappropriate to say to someone else. I find it isn't usually concern but meanness or arrogance.
