What’s Up With Skinny Girl Weight Hate
After searching through comet discount codes online for a couple of hours and finding what I wanted I decided to go down to my local book store to look for a book I wanted. So while I am there browsing through the section I was interested I heard some other female shopper snickering and looking at me. Initially I paid them no mind and keep on with my search then I overheard or at least that’s what I want to believe, one of them say “she’s so darn skinny”. Suddenly I felt oh so uncomfortable and even awkward.
I mean I would go into a grocery store and pick up some milky way and have someone say to me are you buying that for yourself? You should by a couple more you are so small. I constantly keep here people including some of my friends say these type of things to me and no one know just how much I feel hurt when they say these thing. Imagine someone saying that if you turn sideways they would not be able to see you…really now.
Now let me be clear I am 5ft 5 and my weight is 115 lbs so my view of myself is that I am not overweight in any way. Slim yes, skinny no. So why do people keep making these comments? Come on, I exercise regularly, eat properly (I am a vegetarian) and try my best to live a healthy lifestyle.
The iron I realise is that many if fact most of the people who are making these comments tend to be on the plump side or even downright fat. It might be that I am too sensitive and these folks believe that they are giving me a compliment.
