Why are people like this?

[exercise forever]

I was just having a conversation with my son about the weight I have gained. 3 yrs ago I lost alot of weight from running and watching what I ate. All I heard from my family was how skinny and anorexic I looked. That really hurt my feelings. Well now that I have put on some weight and look better, they say nothing. I want to say,where the he!!are you comments now.



does anyone know what makes people like this?

Heck I want them to comment now and tell me how much better I look!

Misery loves company! They have nothing to criticize because you look so great so they don't say anything! Treat their silence as a well-deserved compliment! Come over here - we'll compliment the heck out of ya!!!

Yeah. And why is it that people feel perfectly comfortable telling someone who is thin that they are too thin but you'd never catch them telling someone who is fat that they are too fat! Isn't either comment equally rude?

Hmmmmm.......good point, Elaine. People have no problem scolding smokers but you don't hear someone yell "DROP THOSE FRIES! THEY'LL KILL YOU!!!"

I have wondered the same thing. People find it easier to comment to someone who is thin, rather than someone who is overweight. I peronally am the person if I think someone is too thin or too big I sure as he!! don't tell them!
