It's not cool when automatically you're blamed when food is gone, or when everyone else is getting seconds and you're the only one who's called on it for doing so, or when the first thing out of your relative's mouthes is "have you eaten yet?" (although that may be a Filipino thing), or when you have to swim with a shirt on.
I agree, sometimes the way you carry yourself (no pun intended) can overshadow (again, no pun intended) your weight when it comes to the opposite sex, but it doesn't make your life any easier. Insults, though not neccesarily mean-spirited, hurt just a little bit more because you're such an easy target and you get it just a little bit more.
All I'm saying is, I'm pretty sure a waif doesn't get the same amount and same stength of insults that someone with a gut does.

It's sad and true.
I have changed myself immensely. I cut out all refined sugar, meat, fried food, alcohol, and pretty much only eat fruits, vegetables, grains, and tofu stuff for protein. And I work out more than all 3 of my roommates combined.
But people still assume stuff about me.
Last Christmas break, one of my roommates brought like 24 cookies back for us all to eat. They were gone overnight. Two of my roommates accosted me the next day and told me it was so rude of me to have eaten all the cookies and not left any for everyone else.
I had two cookies.
They kept harassing me about my denial of it until the 4th roommate (and the thinnest) came home and told us she had eaten like 15 of them while watching TV after we all had gone to bed.
They didn't even apologize to me.
I carry myself well. My weight doesn't look that bad on me compared to most. I know I'm sexy and beautiful. But it's REALLY hard to carry myself that way when I have assholes yelling insults at me out of cars, and my own friends accusing me of stealing food.
