Why is it that it'd be so incredibly rude and inappropriate of someone to say something about the way an overweight person looks, but it's okay for friends and family to barrage me with insults about being too thin, freely and without hesitation, as if it were any less discourteous or offensive?

Yeah, that's a really shitty double standard.

[dancing_crazy]

It is!

In other news, I drew your interest:

btw, have you seen Megan's Frasier episode? "You're so funny!"

[megandjim]

That's a very good question. Perhaps they just have a shitty way of showing concern? ::shrugs::

[dancing_crazy]

I guess so. But it could be done more politely than "OMGJILLWTFEW." Srsly.

I don't know, but I think Meg gave the best answer.
love'd!

[dancing_crazy]

Meg's hot.

so are you.

hug'd!

[megandjim]

Ahh lies! I am not!

Because people see one as a problem and one as just something people are and a subject people can't touch. I'm sorry they're giving you a hard time. Email me if you need to. I feel more comfortable discussing this kinda thing in there. I love you.

[dancing_crazy]

True. But they know I'm trying to gain it back. I'll email you tonight when I get back from work. I love you! HERMANNNNN!

[dancing_crazy]

the thing is I'm working so hard on gaining the weight. I really am. I think people just don't think it's offensive because being too thin isn't considered a problem, like you said. But it's a big stinkin double standard. Le sigh.
