Think of it like this. No one cares if a fat person calls someone skinny. But if a skinny person says “oh my god shes so fat” life is over and everyone is pissed off. Why is this? Because of society, yes. But its also because even without society giving the image that skinny is good, no one wants to be fat. Just because im skinny does not mean im happy. Its so annoying to be asked, “are you anorexic?” By my own mother atleast once a month. At the same time i know it has to be cruel and painful to hear “you need to lose weight”. People percieve skinny as healthy, but you only see the outside. Not the inside. So yes, “those poor thin people” should be happy they arent overweight, but it still gets annoying to always be percieved as bulimia or anorexia. Think twice, speak once, because no matter if u realise it or not, your words so hurt.
How about anorexic zombies? Or maybe bulimic zombies? Binge on brains, and purge…
In case it’s not clear Anonymousgirl, you’re replying to a 10 year old thread.
If the anorexics would just eat more and the fat people would just eat less then we’d all be about the same size and the Zombies would get well balanced meals.

Back in my “skeletal” youth, if I ordered a sandwich in a deli, I would get the biggest most overstuffed sandwich you’ve ever seen. If I ordered a quarter pound or half pound of a deli salad, the guy would weigh it out, put the pricing label on it, then reopen the container and put in another scoop or two.
Truth was that I had a hormonal disorder that affected my appetite and couldn’t finish these larger portions but it was amusing the way that total strangers tried to fatten me up.
Cheers to the OP, I understand.
I’m happy to see some of the males chiming in. I spent the first 30-ish years of my life incredibly skinny, in spite of being very physically active and a heavy eater. David Bowie, Ric Ocasek, and Bill Nye could beat me up. When even doctors comment on how unusual I look, it plays hell with body issues and self-esteem.
zombie or no
you just love your pet tapeworm.
I named mine Fred.
All the thin people who are not anorexic have to do, is just grab the food out of the accuser’s hand and eat it.
Oh. Hello. I’m Super Kami Guru. And I’m the guy who’s NOT judging you on your appearance.
Truth, if you’re a stick thin person, and you’re jamming pizza/pie/carbs in your face, everybody and their damn brother has got something oh so witty to say. Or finish every conversation with the ‘never gets old’, ‘And eat something! Would ya?’ Ha, Ha, Ha! If I had a nickel for every time someone started their sentence with, ‘I hate you! …You’re so thin, you can eat anything…etc’, I’d own a damn yacht!
All by persons too sensitive and evolved to say a single word to a chubby person doing the exact same thing!
What, exactly is a patient seeing a new doctor supposed to say or do, to allay such suspicions once manifest? Protest vehemently? Yeah, that’s not gonna work. You’re a doctor, shouldn’t you be willing to recognize that there are also skinny people among the masses?
I’ve been refused at a blood drive for being slightly under weight. Made to go sit with the haemophiliacs! Damn!
By thirty it looked like I was finally going to crack out of the underweight category, when they revised the standards to refect a larger norm! Bam! Underweight again!
How be you just shut your cake hole and stop addressing people’s eating habits if you don’t know jack about them? How is that hard to understand?
I realized a few years ago, in my early 20s (when the promised slowing metabolism and womanly figure did not manifest) that while personal remarks are annoying, most comments regarding being skinny and yet constantly eating are probably the least offensive of any that could be made. I nod, smile and play along and hope one year I’ll start putting on a few pounds so I don’t have to anymore.
Luckily my Dr. for the past decade is a tiny, skinny man (of 60+years now) himself. He doesn’t give me any crap.
Fuck this with a steel dick!
I’m sorry you’re fat, sucks to be you. As you said, get over yourself.
Just like some fat people some thin people can do exactly nothing about it.
I’ve spent my whole life being called “scrawny”, “puny”, “frail”, “weak” etc because I am a tallish (5’11") man who only broke 140 in his mid-twenties.
I’ve been denied jobs based on the conception that thin equals weak. I have women offering to lift heavy things for me because I’m so slender. Other guys push me out of the way in order to save me from hurting myself doing work I’m more than capable of doing.
" I’d never **** her, she’s too thin" < — heard it, said it. Thin women have no tits. Ever heard the expression “farmer’s dream?”
Have heard it said of men too. I quote from a university friend of mine named Karen;
“Fucking a thin guy blows. You get bruises on your thighs and you can hear bones clacking. Never again.”
You’re fat, I’m scrawny, water is wet and life sucks. Get off of your excessively massive high horse and choke on the fact that sometimes people who aren’t in the same situation as you suffer for it just as much.
You say if she had a disease you’d be sympathetic but she doesn’t so fuck her because you have the metabolism of a sedated sloth. Guess what, she has the metabolism of a cracked-out squirrel and she’s taking shit for it. Kinda like a fat guy that “can’t help it because of metabolism.” If that gets lardasses a pass it ought to get the skeletal a pass as well.
So lug yourself over to wherever you can find a clue.

I totally get you. In order to find pants that fit (32 inch legs 27 inch waist) I had to go to the juveniles section of the store until I was about 30. Buying pants for yourself and being asked about your child - who they assume you are buying them for is not the coolest feeling in the world.
Especially if the cashier is hot.
And, dnooman already got the spanking he deserved during the thread’s original run. Hopefully he knows better by now.
First, anyone who comments on anyone else’s weight and/or food intake is a fucking idiot, and should be told so.
I had weight and food issues for most of my adult life. Finally I threw in the towel and said “for a year, I’m going to eat whatever I want and walk outside at least an hour every day.” It cured me, and now I am reasonably thin.
I was once with a group of women who started talking about their favorite diet foods. Someone said “You’re thin. What diet foods do you like?” I said “REAL food tastes better.” There was a long pause, then everyone started nodding their heads and saying “You know, you’re right.”
Fucking zombies, no matter how much you starve them, they still come back.
I learned the noun form was “anorectic”, by the way.
So, we got fat people, skinny people, and zombies.
David J. Schow did the research for us on fat people versus zombies in “Jerry’s Kids Meet Wormboy”. Fat people can eat zombies regularly, zombies can eat fat people occasionally.
Regardless, skinny people can stay skinny by not eating. Fat people can get skinny by not eating. Zombies can be undead by virtue of being undead, and eating or not they are still undead.
If you see a fat guy five years into the Zombie Apocalypse, he’s figured some shit out. He’s eating a lot, regularly. You might want to study him from a safe distance. He probably teamed up with the other fat guys and skinny guys to eat all the zombies, then the fat guys ate the skinny guys, then he ate all the other fat guys.
That’s all with the benefit of being alive and intelligent. You see a fat zombie five years into the Zombie Apocalypse? Don’t worry about it, your fate is sealed.
Typically, I find that anyone who doesn’t look like you at one point in time or another is going to assume all sorts of crazy stuff about you and your body. This will also apply to habit and your general standing in the world. People say they hate to judge or be judged by appearance but that flies out the window when they are looking at you.
You all need to get over yourselves.
