[quote=Anonymous]As a person who has always been pretty thin, I do think some women project that thin people feel superior and therefore they dislike the thin person before the thin person has said anything.  There is kinship in knowing that other people have faults.  I, myself, don't like people who seem to be so perfect (my SIL is like this... everybody loves her, she always says the right thing, makes everyone feel at ease... but I've never seen her stick her foot in her mouth or make a mistake ... and it makes me less likely to trust her b/c she seems flawless.  I do like her... but I hold her at arm's length b/c I feel like I'm never going to measure up to her perfection.  If she would just fail at something-- I feel she'd be more relatable).

I think other people have the same sense about weight... they don't like someone who seems to have no trouble keeping their weight in line -- b/c it seems so difficult to them.

We all have are achilles heels -- but we are most sensitive to those who have mastered what we haven't.  [/quote]
