It makes me so angry that people in our society feel like it is okay to comment on other people's bodies. Would they say to someone, "You are fat, so please don't eat any more." Of course not, so why is it okay to make the skinny comment? Like people who are "skinny" have no issues about their bodies.
And I suppose that what I hate the most, is the power that "compliments" about weight have over me (and most women). While in theory I believe what I said above, I know that I would be thrilled if someone told me, "you're not fat, take all you want."
I just wanted to post to express my support. Take care of yourself.
Best,
EE
