Why I hate being skinny
I weigh 100 pounds. Many woman waste their lives dieting trying to get to what they consider to be their ideal weight, for some it might (sadly) be 100 pounds (and depending on how tall you are that is not a healthy weight.) Really it shouldn’t be considered a healthy weight for the majority of Americans, but there’s the obesity epidemic right now so that’s not really an issue. I hate being so skinny. If I wanted to I could probably count all 24 of my ribs. Really sexy. Also, I don’t have a butt, it’s pretty much nonexistent. Even worse I have small breasts and in this cleavage obsessed culture they’re not the most attractive. (Seriously look at how successful Victoria’s Secret is. People love cleavage.) Women have asked me what my “secret” is to being so skinny. I tell them that I’m a vegetarian and I don’t drink milk, but that’s not exactly the truth. (Even though I did lose 10 pounds after I became a vegetarian.) My secret is that I’m young and have a fast metabolism (which has it’s drawbacks. I’m hungry all the time!) I’ve told some women this and a look of triumph briefly crosses their faces and they say in a somewhat gleeful tone something like this: “You know one day you’ll just end up fat like your mom.” Oh wait woops that’s what my grandma says. They something more like: “Ah that won’t last forever.” blah blah blah. No shit sherlock. Your metabolism slows down in your late 20s/ early 30s. Geesh I may be stupid, but I’m not that stupid.
I’d like to send a message to all you people out there:
Just because I’m skinnier than most does NOT mean I’m anorexic. Stop asking me if I’m taking laxatives, going to go throw up my meal when I’m finished or if I want a sandwich (well depending on the sandwich I might take you up on that offer.
)
Also just because I’m skinny it does NOT give your the right to make fun of me. It hurts me as much as it might hurt an overweight person.
One more thing. Just because I’m skinny doesn’t mean I’m healthy. I eat junk food all the time. especially lately. Also I never exercise. (Well I’m in a yoga class now, but that doesn’t really count for much, it hasn’t affected my weight.) I am the laziest person ever.
I’m done with this now…uh I’m not sure where it was going, but it wasn’t the direction I was thinking of. Oh well . Also it didn’t make me feel better like I thought it would. *sigh* I’m going to go back to watching the Office. ♥
