Reply #49: I am weary

[katanalori]

of the prejudice against skinny. I am weary of the assumptions that we are skinny on purpose. Most people know that it is politically incorrect to bash "fat" people, but think nothing about showing open disgust at those who are too thin. I lost 20 pounds due to illness, and I do not gain weight easily. It is as hard for me to gain weight as it is for others to lose it. At the workplace, I endured comments like "are you anorexic?" "Do you think you look good - you don't." It has taken me nearly 3 years to put the weight back on, and I have to be mindful every day to eat enough calories to keep it on. I do not know why this beauty contestant is so thin, but I will not presume it is on purpose or her fault.
