“You never hear of anyone making fun of a skinny person.”

That is not true, and don’t let yourself believe that. The grass is just always greener. I did a rant on that not long ago, skinny people are judged and insulted in our own way. They may not point and laugh, but I’ve had nasty, jealous people make comments and spread rumors that I have an eating disorder or a drug problem (which I don’t, I just put in a lot of work over the years). That’s the stigma today. You’re not appreciated if you’re skinny, people just assume you’re on drugs then. Especially women, they have said some nasty things to me, the words would seem to be a compliment, but the tone was just downright nasty (“Oh, as if someone like you needs to eat a salad…”). Sometimes I would rather be fat, you’re more accepted that way since 2/3 of the country is, too.

People will say mean things no matter what. As long as you do it for yourself and not them, that’s all that matters. I just focused on being as healthy as I could and the pounds just seemed to fall off. Good luck with your goals.
