RE: For those who don't like being called
I have been called that most of my life. It really does not bother me. There is so much more of a stigma on being overweight. I really do think they have more of a complaint. And what is overweight anyway? My latest was when I went into a small store and had the woman working there say "you are so tiny". That was a new phrase for me. I have seen very few people that I would consider to thin, skinny etc.. Most have serious issues. Two that come to mind is someone we knew, that I thought had an illness. Her wrists looked like I could put put my fingers together twice around them. Basically like a skeletin. The other was when DH & I were driving down a side road I saw a woman running. She again looked like a skeletin running as all you could see is her bones. Since everyone calls me skinny I asked my hubby if I looked like that. It was an emphatic no. Most of us know we are not to skinny so why let it bother us???
