All my life, I've constantly been told that I need to eat more, I need to gain weight, and I was asked if I was anorexic as I'm eating a double quarter pounder and a large fry. It kind of annoys me when I hear the phrase "real women have curves". So does that mean I'm not a real woman because I wear a size 1 jeans? While the media may insinuate that everyone should be thin, some "real women" look down on those that are small and I have been made fun of about my size. There are two sides to everything. I think everyone just needs to get past how big or small they are, just strive to be healthy, and love themselves and each other for who they are and not what they look like. |
I know the feeling I was 10 lbs more than you and a few inches taller and I always got teased for being "skinny". Funny how some think you only get teased when your are "over weight" and don't think about the opposite spectrum. I used to envy all the girls that were "developing"..I used to cry about it, try weider weight gain shakes, read ads about making your boobs bigger LOL I went on a junk food diet just to try and ad weight. Now that I am older I have gained a few more pounds ! Ha!
Once I worked in a large company and we had just gotten out of a management meeting and were in the elevator. Some lady gets on and literally says "My God your anorexic-aren't you". I just laughed but jeezz my heart ached from embarrassment and hurt... So.....more power to Jessica simpson. She is a "hottie" no matter what her size and wouldn't we have a wonderful world if everyone could judge people for what is on the inside instead of our weight, color, clothes, money, etc....etc.....
