Thin people abuse - weight comments are offensive
Why is it that people who think it is perfectly acceptable to make comments and jokes about how thin you are? I am a size 6, eat around 3000 calories per day (in an attempt to gain weight) take regular but not excessive exercise, and yet am plagued by a constant form of harassment that seems to be perfectly acceptable to everyone.
I am constantly bombarded with comments referring to my weight and how thin I look. These comments may be anything from the innocent "you are so lucky to eat what you want and still stay so slim" to having people accuse me of having an eating disorder.
These comments are made on an almost daily basis and no one seems to think that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable. I ask you, would this kind of abuse (and yes I do see it as abuse when it happens so frequently) would be allowed if I were over weight? Have you ever walked into your office and mentioned to one of your overweight colleagues how fat they are looking today? Or that you think they should eat less. No? I didn't think so.
Not all thin people are thin by choice.
The very fact that commenting on a person's obesity is considered rude and offensive, but commenting on how thin or slim someone is seems perfectly acceptable, to me is a total contradiction in social standards.
Not all thin people are thin by choice. Some of us work very hard to put on those extra few pounds to fit into those size 8 jeans simply because the majority of stores do not sell 6s. Please remember that thin people can also find it deeply offensive when people make comments about their weight.

Jaedyn, has your doctor checked your thyroid level? Your thyriod gland could be a bit overactive, this will mean you can eat and eat and never put on any weight.

Well said TracyB!! Im a size 6-8 and constantly battle with my weight. I've always been super slim despite eating endless amounts of food everyday and begging the doctor to help me gain weight (they always tell me to jus accept that I am slim and will always be this way). People see no problem with making nasty comments about how slim I am, yet if I was to spin that round and comment on how fat they were it'd be me who was accused of being rude and insensitive. Makes me so angry, the thoughtless and jealous comments people make. But thats jus what it is, jealousy. Coz given the chance they'd be our size in a heartbeat. Much Love to you huni xx

I am skinny and I hate that my work colleagues think it's alright to say so.
One lady always calls me skinny, or bones.... If I dare to call her 'tubbs' or something similar, my god it's daggers at dawn. Apparently she's only joking but I'm being mean...
It's gone on so long I just dont care anymore. If people want to offend me (certainly the ones at work who DO know better) then they need to accept that I will offend them back.
It's only women who make these comments to me.
Never ever received any offensive comments from a bloke.

Xiao xiao, ling zhi for slimming is a total con. Don't use this forum for your cheap advertising ideas. If ling zhi was of any use at all, you wouldn't be a fat guy in China town using cheap tactics to sell ling zhi. You'd be thin and successful and paying Saatchi to do your advertising properly.

I bought 2box zi xiu tang. I've lost 14 lbs. in just under 4 weeks while using this product. This product significantly reduces the appetite and eliminates cravings. I did not have to exercise or change my routine in any way while using this product. I have had no adverse side effects while using 2daydiet Japan Lingzhi. I highly recommend buying this product if you want to lose weight. And experience dramatic changes in your diet and body size. I took 1 capsule for the first three days as recommended on the labeling and increased to 2 capsules daily on the fourth day. This product does increase your thirst so drinking the recommended amount of water each day is important, and actually, quite easy to do while using this product. I can hardly wait to reach my weight loss goal with the help of this product

I completely agree with what your saying here. I do in fact have a high metabalism, yet I get so many crude comments of how skinny I am. It hurts and annoys the crap out of me. When I get them from my supposedly large group of friends I often think about making a rude come back as well, but I know thats not right and I keep my mouth shut. I thank you for posting this it really helps people like myself.

I have always struggled with my weight as I gain very easily. When I was younger people made remarks that I found very hurtful. It does not happen now as I work very hard at keeping most of it off and I think people make those kind of remarks more when you seem young and vulnerable.
I have always disliked it when friends make disparaging remarks about very thin people as, having been on the receiving end , I see no difference. It is plain bad manners to make insulting remarks about someone's appearance.
Maybe it is time to tell your "friends" that you don't find their remarks funny and you would like some respect from them. You may lose some but you will be left with the genuine ones.

I agree, I wish I could lose some but imagine its horrible the other side of the coin too. People should mind their own. Unless they take the p out me off then I will comment. I'm overweight largerly due to working late and studying lack of time like frogmellah.
