being reprimanded for being too thin/skinny
im pretty sure im not the only girl with this problem but lately it has been happening too often.
i am naturally skinny, i am a mere 5'2" and less than a hundred pounds. i am one of those people that eat whatever they want and never worry about their weight. in fact, i think i eat a whole lot (plus 3 servings of ice cream to last me through a whole movie) for my size.
anyway i've had the problem of having people come up to me (especially at work) and ask me if was "okay"...or some would comment like how it looks like i haven't been eating. people think i have an eating disorder! it totally bugs me and though i feel genuinely bad for those who do, why do people have to stereotype those slender people w/ normal eating habits as well?
and this happens when im wearing a non figure flattering blockbuster shirt and khakis. one time on my day off (and i had nothing better to do), i got a call from work if i could come in because someone called in sick. i was doing laundry that day so i told them i didn't have a uniform. and in "sorority pants" and a cute baby tee i got even MORE of these stupid ass comments.
any ideas for how should i deal, or maybe even good comebacks?
