Who Says Size Matters?

I've had people ask me when I was due also, and I would reply "I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. Thanks" I have to say that is one of the meanest things i've ever said to anyone. Don't ask if you arent sure! It hurts. Also, I've been so skinny that my friends have told me they can see/feel my bones. In this socity where we hear 85% of americans are fat and then see SUPER skinny models, sometimes I dont know where to try and fit in. Great article and at a young age I still have issue but I'll learn. Thanks :o)

As someone else who's weight has fluxuated quite a bit over the years, I totally understand where you're coming from. When I was a kid, people told me I was too skinny. Puberty hit and I was still thin, but still chunky in the wrong places, so I was teased in school. Middle school and my first two years of HS were hell, so food became my comfort. As a sophomore in HS, at 15 years old, I weighed 175lbs eventhough I was only 5'2". I dealt with my depression and started to learn to love myself no matter what. A change in lifestyle and habits proved difficult but beneficial to me. Now I have a very active career and stay thin eventhough I eat all the time...but I still remember what it was like when people would ask me if I was pregnant at 15.
