Fatty and Skinny

Apparently I hurt someone's feelings on the weekend. Completely unintentionally of course, but I still feel terrible about it.

Because how was I to know I'd done something wrong?

You see, I'm a bit of a fatty. Now, I don't mean I am super obsessed by it or unable to wear decent outfits, but lets just say my struggle with weight continues daily, as do all the body image problems that come with it. And that's normal amongst all types of women, because what are we constantly being told and shown? That we should strive to be skinny. Like unhealthily skinny. Someone once said "you can never be too skinny or too rich", and I swear some people I know live by that mantra (with "or too tanned" stuck in there too). It's what we want right? When you tell someone they are very thin that's a good thing, right?

Well apparently not. I made someone feel very upset for making what i thought were lighthearted comments about their lack of size and weight.

But I guess if someone made "lighthearted" comments about my weight, I would open up a can of whoop-ass. Maybe even throw things.

Just goes to show that guys are spot on when they say they don't "get" us. I don't even "get" us.
