I hate that, I used to be super skinny and ppl would always make comments, like I needed to go eat, or dont you eat, and stupid shit like that, not knowing that I ate like crazy, I was just very active and had a high metabolism... my fat cousin always used to say stupid shit to me and my sisters cause we're skinny, and once my sister got sick of it, and was like you're fat, go lose some weight, and my cousin got super offended.. if she can say shit to us b/c we're skinny, then we can say shit to her for being fat... ppl feel like they need to be nicer to fat ppl so they don't get offended.. I agree with jim2k on a lot of this, b/c when I feel like i'm gaining a few lbs, I lose it, rather than getting to the point where i'm like damn, i'm a fat ass... MOST big people don't get to the weight they're at overnight, and after a few lbs, they need to realize they're getting bigger and work on it then rather than waiting til they're super overweight to try to change their weight..
