Re: The Skinny/Fat Prejudice Thread
I followed the link from the rascism thread and came here lol
I've always been naturally thin and seeing as I'm 6 feet tall (about 1.82 metres) that makes me look slimmer as well. All my life my weight has been commented on and as a self-conscious person I've never been able to brush the comments off. I've never checked my BMI but I'm pretty sure that I'm not under-weight. I eat normally (sometimes a bit too much junk food but I've got a sweet tooth ) and don't seem to put on weight and people talk to me like my weight is my FAULT! They assume that I must watch my weight and as a result of that a lot of people judge me before they know me. They just assume that I must be stuck up and self-obsessed when I'm really not!
In a day and age where if you're even a tiny bit above average you're labelled 'fat' and if you're a tiny bit below average you're labelled 'anorexic' is it any wonder that people get eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder? As long as your healthy and happy what right has anyone else to give a hoot about how you look?
Sorry about the mini-rant. As you can tell I get quite annoyed about this subject lol
