Firstly, it is quite warm in WA at the moment :-p, everyone who knows me, knows how much I love the warm weather.


Catching up with friends yesterday, some were complaining bitterly about the heat. One turned to me and, largely in jest, told me to "stop grinning like that", another commented that I "need more meat on my bones, then I would be normal."


 


Im fairly certain this question has been asked before, but Im going to ask it again.


 


Why is it acceptable for larger people to point out that I "need more meat on my bones"?? It is not OK for me to tell them they need to lose some, certainly without offending them. And why am I expected to be flattered by such comments??

If people's comments offend you why don't you tell them?


 


If overweight make derogatory comments about your slim body, why not make ones about their overweight body and see how they like it?
