Weight Vent in This is me, I guess

I would like to point out that it's just as rude to constantly call somebody "skinny" as it is to call them "fat." Not all of us "skinny bitches" are that way on purpose. Some of us have medical issues that make us this way. Some of us struggle to put on and keep on weight. Being called "skinny" and "a stick" is insulting and hurtful. I've even TOLD people that it's a medical issue and yet it still happens from these same people.

  1. I have just as hard (if not harder) a time find clothes that fit me properly. I'm 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weigh 130 pounds. My shoulders are broad, my chest is flat, I have hips and an ass. My inseam is approximately 34/35 inches. NOTHING on the racks fits properly and most must be altered. This is why I wear dresses a lot. Flowing clothes don't have to fit perfectly.

  2. Quit shoving food in my direction. I'M NOT HUNGRY. I've already eaten my 2,500 calories for the day. That's right 2,500 fucking calories. I have to eat that many just to MAINTAIN my weight. And that's if I'm not doing any of exercising. On days that I step on the treadmill or go swimming with my kids, I get to add 500 to 1,000 more calories. Yay me.

  3. I'd love to say in response to "You're so skinny! Can I have your waistline?" with "You're so chubby, can I have your extra 20 pounds? It must keep you warm and soften your joints." Because IT'S BLOODY TRUE. My body aches and I'm freezing from the lack of fat. But if I say that, I'm a bitch.

  4. I'm just as unhealthy as the morbidly obese person sitting next to me. Just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm in shape. I get winded going up a flight of stairs. I can't exercise too much because I'LL LOOSE WEIGHT. My best friend is 5 feet, 2 inches, weighs 130 pounds (same as me), runs half marathons, and exercises for at least one hour everyday. Yet she is considered fat and out of shape by most people who just look at her. She RUNS HALF MARATHONS - willingly! I can barely walk a 5k with her without wanting to shoot myself at the end.

So please, just don't talk about people's weight. It's rude.
