[Lisa22810]

I have battled my weight issue most of my life. And yes, I envied thin people. I worked with a woman who was the skinniest thing walking. She wasn’t that smart, she definitely wasn’t that attractive, yet I wanted to be able to do what she did – eat with abandon. So I used to make comments about her thinness being something I wanted. She came up to me one day and said something I have not forgotten. Very nicely she said: ‘You know how you feel when someone mentions your weight? I feel the same about mine. I am very self-conscious about how I look because I am so thin.’ I hadn’t thought she would be, because to me, being thin was the be-all-and-end-all of life. But she put it in perspective for me, and I never again remarked on her weight. And that is how it should be, I think. It’s rude to comment on anyone’s weight – fat or thin.
