can we normalize being uncomfortable about being skinny and start telling people that they should stop "complementing" us on our low weight? I'm tired of their bs.

Oh wow! I just went through this today at work. 😖 I was in the break room at work with another coworker along with other employees and one of The ladies was eating her lunch but all she had apparently was 2 chicken wings and a spoonful of chili and beans so her coworker says wow that's all you eat that's all you bring for lunch is half of a lunch who brings half of a lunch. He just kept stating you need to eat! you need to eat! 🙄 I was like "leave her alone when she gets hungry I'm sure she'll eat until you need to move along and mind the business that pays you". I wish that people understand that everybody is different everybody metabolism is not the same so therefore everybody can't gain weight like everybody else. Smh If people would just mind their business the world would be a better place.

Right!! I’m skinny due to medical issues and I hear constantly “I wish you’d eat more!” Or “you need to eat!!” As if I didn’t know. 🙄 I wish I could eat ! Smh

usually people who tell us we are skinny are insecure themselves. We need a tshirt that says, Dont ask about my weight.
@Leeroxa FR 💀 it's honestly very surprising that ppl don't know when they are getting too far and when we tell them to stop and thay they've gone too far, they ignore us. Idk
@Kennedy1 Ive been told these things and in time ive watched folks suffer from type 2 diabetes and bad joints in knees and ankles from folks who have laughed at me. I say nothing.
And the opposite of that.. telling us to “eat more” as if we don’t eat.. smh

@JustRachelle EXACTLY
Yes please. That is sooooo unhelpful and unnecessary. Everyone’s body is different and there is no “ideal” body shape. We are all different and that is ok. It’s just some people can’t take the time to educate themselves. If those people commenting on your weight are close family/friends, you could try to calmly and assertively explain to them why it is unhelpful to you and what they could compliment instead. Hope this helped ❤️
@Coolish thank you person🤗🤗🤗 yes, it sadly comes from my closest friends and family. I do tell them how uncomfortable it makes me but they either tell me I'm being dramatic or apologize but then do it again the next day. So, idk. But thanks for listening and replying🤗 knowing that someone agrees with me has definitely helped❤️❤️❤️
