Chubby Haters

[Teskeria]

I like "Oh no, if I lose weight my husband might leave me. He HATES those sacks of bones we see around. Says a real man likes a woman who doesn't feel like a skeleton." (Either shocks them or shuts them up usually)

Or how about "if I lose weight, my boobs will get smaller and my husband wont have anything to grope in the middle of the night."

Says a real man likes a woman who doesn't feel like a skeleton."

Wouldn't know about people who define themselves "real men", but I must agree with this statement.

Ditto. I likes me something to hold onto.

DB: If you cut back on it you might be able to lose weight

Another fun response for you... "What?!?! You want me to lose my baby?!? Why would you tell a pregnant woman she should lose her baby??"

And agreed on the 'curves' comments...Sticks are for poking things with, not for admiring, IMO!

While I let it pass when it was a hypothetical response to the rude person:

some people, including some people in this forum, are various sorts of thin. In some cases, it's not optional. In some cases, they're struggling to put on weight. In some cases, they're perfectly happy with their bodies: but that's not all of them.

Just as there are Chubby Haters, there are Skinny Haters; and thin people can be just as easily hurt as large.

Please bear that in mind in future comments.

Thank you.

And so it goes...go round again but now and then we wonder who the real men are....

Anyways, I'm a bit on the overweight side myself and I'm sure I get those looks when I'm the grocery store...I guess I odn't pay attention to them.

Seshat is correct, by the way. When I was a teenager I was very thin. My father used to kid me that if I turned sideways, I would disappear. I hated being teased about it. Took me forever to get boobs!

On a side note, "your annual block party & bagpipe review" (quoted from Merriweather) would make an awesome blog title....

I'm sorry, Seshat and anybody I might have insulted.
As a chubby person I obviously tend to feel "my" side more than the other.
Although I am not ashamed to say that I do prefer women with some meat (having had a really skinny partner too).

When I was in the 5th grade, I had no boobs, I was completely flat while the other girls had started to bud. Over the Summer vacation I exploded, I went from nothing to D cups in 3 months. I was accused of stuffing my bra, one day I got tired of being accused of stuffing and I tore off my shirt in the middle of class to prove to everyone that my boobs were real..

I was suspended for 3 days.

This makes me laugh.

I love the "Bag of bones" phrase... mainly because whenever I hear it I think of the deer lying on the gravel on one of the highways here. I nicknamed it Bag O'Bones.

So whenever someone describes a woman as a bag of bones... I think of her looking like Bag O'Bones.


yes, i'm probably going to hell for that but hey ...

I know no harm was intended, but I wanted to ensure that no harm actually happened.

And yes, I am aware that different people are attracted to different body types. It's simple, plain fact. It's when people start generalising their personal preferences to 'all men' or 'real men' (or women, for that matter) that it starts hurting people.

Anyway. No harm done (I hope). We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Yeah uh, as a former anorectic/bulimic, I would've told him to fuck off. I would've gone with Merriweather's approach. "So did you know that canned soup contains 20% sodium? Iceberg lettuce has no nutrition, you should eat spinach leaves with a liter of water. What, you have soda? Ewww that'll bloat you right up." Asshole.

[Food Lady]

HFB, I would've liked to see you simply utter the statements you posted as thoughts. Would've gotten the point across nicely. But I know we all usually think of this stuff later. Also, I admit I do look at people's carts. It's the same as being tempted to look in medicine cabinets. But I certainly don't comment on it.

Haha, my boyfriend did this to some lady that was badgering him about his energy drink purchase:

Her"Omigosh, are you going to drink those ALL AT ONCE?!"
Him "No! Omg! Why would you even SUGGEST that?! Do you know how unhealthy these things are? That could KILL you to drink this many at once! Don't you EVER suggest someone do that! Horrible." and then he walked off.
