Do not feel bad about it, you were not being mean, and the thought behind your words was a nice/caring one.
Pink Amulet Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Not a problem Now I'm curious, how do you call sweets over there? Lollies!
tinktronik Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Lollies! I think I'm going to start using that , Im already using loo , I plan to mainstream them right into american culture.
lovestruck234 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Yay to skinny people! It's good to see soemone bring up this topic! I also am a NATURALLY skinny person. I weigh 45kg...that's Australian I don't know what that is in American. I am a size 6 - 8 depending. I more lanky than skinny anctually. I'm 170cm high so yeah, I'm pretty lanky for my weight...but I kinda don't...really...care about it anymore. I have never been on a diet in my entire life. Never. I can't NOT eat. But like PA, I eat healthy. That doesn't mean starving yourself, it means eating when your hungry, and eating the right foods. I am still a sucker for a bit of junk food, but who isn't? I don't really excercise, on;y when I ride my motorbike and I need to get fit for comps and that....MX is pretty intense and you need to be in tip top shape. But other than that, I don't obsess over my body...yeah, I still have people who comment and stare with the "Eat a muffin" comments...pfft...whoopdie-f*ckin-doo! I actually like my body, to be honest. The only thing i wish I had more of was a bit more ass. I have a TINY ass and I hate it. But, I don't obsess over it. Everyone is different. Don't know how long it's going to take people to realise that and until YOU are perfect, don't critsize others cos they are sure to find something just as wrong with you... Yes, Nicole Richie is skinny, yes she probably did have some sort of eating disorder, big deal!! It's not your problem, and you'll probably never know the real reason to it anyway! The media is all b*llsh*t. Sorry if I'm kinda b*tchy about all of this, but it's your body, you're stuck with it forever, and that's a pretty long time, so you may as well start accepting it. There's no point sitting there picking out things that other people, you know full well, would die for. That's my cue to walk away usually before I say something I regret... JUST LOVE YOUR BODY!! It's what makes you, and before you want others to love it, you gotta give it a little repsect as well!
Guest Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Most snide skinny comments from the same gender probably stem from jealousy.
Candied-Heart Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 OH! I hate this! I have a few people in my life that make "observations" and snide remarks that they will always deny. It is just so frustrating. For example, my BFs sister is currently the biggest pain in the ass regarding my lifestyle and my weight. I know this is to do with her own insecurities, her bodies metabolism and makeup is slowing down and changing shape.. she's no longer in her 20s and she's in a marriage so she's 'relaxed' a bit by her own admittance, but she cannot accept that a young girl can actually look/weigh/eat as I do and not have some sort of torrid eating disorder or unhealthy obsession with exercise. She insists I put in too many hours/minutes at the gym or outdoors exercising when she barely knows anythign about me, my hobbies or my activities of choice. Everything that is exercise to her is because of weight loss, not for enjoyment or social activity. Just has to be about weight. - If I eat a big plate of dinner which is usually something I couldn't eat the last quarter of, I must have skipped all my meals for the day to fit it in. - If I don't want to eat dessert it's because I think it has too many calories or I've 'eaten enough for the night' Since when is dessert required after every meal? - If I mention that I am so full and pat my belly or something silly like that she jumps down my throat or rolls her eyes that I must have issues. Above all else it is hurtful. I have confronted her and she still behaves the way she does, so now I just do what I do. I live how I live and not how she wishes I live, the fact that she takes so much notice [when nobody else seems to] is enough for me to realise that this is her jealousy issue, not mine. So now I go over to BFs parents for dinner hotly dressed and eat as much as I want, don't have dessert and watch her conjure up the latest reasons as to why I am not eating dessert etc. I couldn't possibly be FULL could I? There comes a time where you just don't care what others think. Most of the time you could read their jealous mind anyway.

There comes a time where you just don't care what others think. Most of the time you could read their jealous mind anyway. That was awesome!! I'm all inspired by that thread now. It's good to hear that I'm not the only one who DOESN'T obsess over my body. I know this is going to sound to sound really really harsh BUT....if you have an issue with your body then that's YOUR problem. It's not others who make remarks....you have the choice not to listen to them....but if you choose to hear to those who are obviously JEALOUS of you and take it to heart, then you're more the fool for it. No-one is the same as someone else. It's life. I had it all at school: surfboard, squirt, carrot stick, tack.... It hurt me then but now I look back and laugh so hard. Yes, you're right, I am skinny, but watch me eat out your cupboard! Skinny people are skinny, larger people are larger, athletic people are athletic.............................GET OVER IT!
2sunny Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 hey, I love my body! No use in fretting over what is god's gift to yourself... I, too, have a small a$$ - but men love it and admire it all the time. I swear I thought that avatar of PA's legs were actually mine.... no kidding... scary...
RecordProducer Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Skinny people are skinny, larger people are larger, athletic people are athletic.............................GET OVER IT! No. Skiny people are lucky. I need to lose 10 lbs in order to look skinny (good skinny) and I can't make myself starve for a while. I wish I could eat as much as I wanted and not get fat. I think I'd live with the image of a carrot stick in my mirror with great ease!

Adunaphel Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Lollies! I love the word. It sounds cute, I'd rather be eating lollies than candy.
Pink Amulet Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I love the word. It sounds cute, I'd rather be eating lollies than candy. It is quite cute! I guess you could imagine eating lollies with pig-tails and a pink party dress Well, that is what I associate with the word! haha.
Heavenseventeen Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I don't see why underweight people can't be bothered to even try and put some weight on and keep it on. I've seen a girl on a weight forum and she looks hundreds better and healthier with the extra weight- plus she was smiling and looked so proud. Basically Just like with us big people, go out and do something about it. Both sides of the spectrum get abuse. Plus salads in places like Macdonalds can be very unhealthy too, so whatever...

Basically I think some underweight people just enjoy being underweight and eating whatever they want. Just like with the public they forget that they can eat unhealthy food and be unhealthy, even though they don't have 200pounds of fat to show for it.

Author P1xie Posted September 4, 2006 Author Posted September 4, 2006 I don't see why underweight people can't be bothered to even try and put some weight on and keep it on. I've seen a girl on a weight forum and she looks hundreds better and healthier with the extra weight- plus she was smiling and looked so proud. I have tried numerous things like weight gain shakes that athletes use. I have a metabolism that just does not put on weight. I do not exercise. I sit on my skinny *ss half the time. I eat all the time. It's not a matter of doing something about it. I have accepted the rude comments, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to complain about them. I'm 5'5, weigh about 115 probably less, wear between a size 0-3 depending on brand. This is american sizes. I don't know if it's easier for a overweight person or underweight person to maintain a so called healthy weight. My sister inlaw is overweight and she has a funny comeback. (I wish I could come up with one) She tends to gain weight in the stomach and has been approached numerous times with the question "When are you do". She replies, "I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat". It's hilarious to see the person's reaction.
dgiirl Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 lol, i was once at a resturant with a bunch of people I just met (online GT), and they started to comment on how skinny i was and how i cant possibly eat my whole dinner. I just replied "Oh dont worry, i'll just go to the washroom in a second and puke it up" The looks were priceless lol
CrushedOrgans Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 i know. i hate when i'm like, really tan and people look at me and go "you're sooooo tan, you should probably use sunscreen or something" and i'm like "listen, i just like to feel the sun on my skin naturally, okay? why don't you go pick on that really pale girl over there and tell her she needs some sun, she's the one with the real problem, not me. this is just how i am." it's so hard being something that is so culturally and socially accepted as attractive and beautiful. it just isn't fair. no, it really hurts my feelings. leave the insults to the big, fat, pale people who really deserve it; i mean, they must be used to it anyway, right?
honeybunch2k5 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 P1x, you're one of the fortunate ones. Earlier this evening I was out at a restaurant with my brother and his family, one of those chinese buffet deals. I have never seen so many chubbies in all my life, and every one of them - every single one - was going back for 3rd, 4th and 5th servings. It honesly made me queasy. Just seeing all that jiggling mass under stretchy polyester, thundering back and forth from the deep-fried chicken balls and the mushroom fried rice actually put me off my food. I'm like you, I'm fortunate to have the high metabolism and very seldom gain any weight (though I burn up in the summer when it's too hot). So when I hear of these large people complaining that I can eat all that I want and not gain weight, meanwhile if they so much as look at a brownie they gain weight, I just have to shake my head. I don't see a metabolism problem; I see a self-discipline problem. So be thankful that you're one of those lucky few that won't be gracing the pages of Cardiac Monthly or The Obese Annual. You'll live longer and be happier too. Oh yes, and I bet they blame being fat on genetics, not because they eat 1/2 their weight in deep fried chinese food:rolleyes: If you really want to see fat people come to where I live. Most of the people are overweight, obese, or suberobese. A lot of people get so fat their bellies and boobies sag down to their knees. Eeeeeew! There is nooo excuse for getting that big! I feel ya pixie...I'm a pretty slim black woman, which means I'm being like an anorexic white girl. Yes, I've had (black) people say that to me. 1. Caucasian females do not have a patent on being fit 2. there are lots of fat white women. I guess all black women should be obese. Whatever! I just enjoy fruits and veggies, nothing wrong with that... As long as you aren't starving yourself and feel good I don't see the problem...
CrushedOrgans Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 i find it a little ironic that skinny people complain about being picked on, but then they pick on the fat people. it works both ways, people. get used to it. you're going to take it, but you're going to dish it out as well. and i'm not biased...i'm in the middle. i think i'm too toned to be "skinny" and i don't want to be called "skinny." i think i like the word "thin" better. even "lean." skinny sounds like an insult. i think it should suffice to say that no one should make fun of anyone's appearance for any reason, but that would be so hopeful it's almost pathetic. like the concept of world peace.
Candied-Heart Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 i find it a little ironic that skinny people complain about being picked on, but then they pick on the fat people. but.. you just said this: it really hurts my feelings. leave the insults to the big, fat, pale people who really deserve it; i mean, they must be used to it anyway, right? I think that's the wrong attitude to have. It's being hypocritical of what's upsetting you.
Touche Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Totally agree with Candied-Heart here. And Honeybunch, shame on you! Don't EVEN get me started on this subject!
lindya Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 but.. you just said this: I think that's the wrong attitude to have. You tell her, Candied-Heart! It's highly discriminatory to use a form of humour that not everyone gets without attaching a squad of smileys lols and "joking!". From now on, I think anyone who makes an ironic comment without labouring the point that it is in fact a joke should be banned instantly. And I include myself in that.
