RANT
It is, absolutely inappropriate to tell a thin person “you could stand to gain a few pounds”.
You would never say that to someone in the reverse position. Unless I am dressed inappropriately (for, say, my job), please do not comment to me. Unless its a compliment. Those are always welcomed.
I hear that comment at least 2 times a week and it always comes from COMPLETE STRANGERS!!! On top of that I get stared down by at least 5 people per day(especially when holding a bag of fast food) and that as well is completely inappropriate. Yes, I know I am very skinny! I’ve been skinny my entire life! It is also really insulting if you do one of the following:
- insinuate that I might have an eating disorder
- ask me about my eating habits to make sure I am eating properly
- tell me that I look bullimic or anorexic
- force food on me after I’ve told you several times that I am full
- stare at me with a look of disgust on your face.
