When you hear weight
bashing I am sure you are thinking someone is bashing another for being big.
Well that is not the only form of weight bashing. Telling someone they are too
skinny and should “Eat a Burger” Is just as much a weight bash as telling someone
they should “hit the gym”.
First off who asked
for your opinion anyways? Not me. My weight has always been up and down. The
happiest weight I have been at is 115 and the highest I have been is 135. Here
is the deal. It doesn’t matter what others think because they are not in my
body or in fact my life. You don’t see every meal I eat nor do you know how
sick I feel when I am at 130. I have recently been teetering on the 130 so I
decided to join a gym. While trying to talk to people about my goals with
joining the gym all I got was “What are you talking about? You are so skinny.
You don’t need to lose weight” and it just puts me into a rage. Do you see me
naked? No. Do you have to live in my body? No. It’s not even about my weight it’s
about how I view myself and the plain fact is my not happy when I see myself
naked. So I chose to do something different rather than sit in my insecurity
and be miserable. It is not a compliment to tell someone they are too skinny.
That is the same thing as calling someone fat. It is you inserting an opinion
that was not asked for.
So next time you
think about commenting on someone’s weight just remember you are inserting your
opinion where it wasn’t asked for. Now if I was withering away and not eating then
yes of course someone close to me should confront me. Not some random person I
barely know commenting on my pictures asking if I’m eating. Yes I am thank you
very much.
Skinny bitch ;)
