[quote=Anonymous]19:34 - THIS.  I know what you mean, OP.  I hope it turns out that you are fine. I was skinny, same size as high school even after kids, until I became sick.  Guys used to ask me every day a variation of "how I got my body" - in their way, it was a compliment.  So while my problem is a little different, I do also recall hearing p*ssy remarks every day - people trying to pry and insinuate things that had nothing to do with me (eating disorders?!!? Really??! I love food!!!), I simply took after the skinny side of the family.

Try to brush it off.  It is a good education on how rude, nosy and inconsiderate people can be, really.  I even had one perpetually dieting  "friend" try to tell me that I was "skinny when I was young" - WTF?  She hasn't even known me that long! What does she know?  Not. A. Thing.  But thanks for deliberately trying to be so rude.

People are just like that OP, they can be really rude without even trying.  Especially other women! Ignore it.  Just because they might have an eating disorder (code for "daddy issues"!!!!) doesn't mean that you do or I did.  Some people just don't have to try to be skinny, and the others don't like it.  Simple.

Now that I appear much bigger than I was, some women seem to actually delight in it.  So you learn a LOT about people when yo get sick, for better or worse.  Hoe you are not sick, seriously.
