Thank you! I've been saying that my whole life. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks that telling someone they are too skinny is incredibly rude! Like gammazeta, I'm 5'2 and I weigh 92. I haven't gained any weight since high school (I'm 2 years out of college) and I eat like a pig. I'm perfectly healthy, but still people tell me I need to eat. I just want to say "How would you feel if I said 'You are a little chunky. You need to stop eating.'" Or if they see me eat they think I'll just throw it up later. It's gotten really bad for me since the whole Calista Flockhart anorexia rumors started. Apparently, according to some people I look a little like her, so people don't have a problem saying to me "Eat Ally!"
