the skinny on being skinny
---

I really hate it when people ( or friends for that matter ) come up to me and exclaim "Fiona you so SO skinny !" or even worse , ask me questions like "Are you anorexic ?!"

For the last time time , fuck you. I am not anorexic.

My appetite is voracious and healthy and i eat enough for two.

It just so happens that i am blessed ( cursed ? ) to be born into a family where everyone else looks elongated.

I feel especially riled when the advisers ( "Oh fiona you should eat more carbo , drink more milk.. EAT MORE ! MORE ! " ) themselves have a weight problem , with the size of their thighs being the circumference of my ass (okay so i have a small ass but that is not the point )

I sometimes seriously question the motives behind their seemingly concerned facades.

Stop moping about how fat you look compared to me when you stuff yourself with Macdonald's every other day.

Nobody is going to be sympathetic.

If you thought that all the slim and beautiful people were born looking fabulous with 24" waists , then wake up and smell the shit.

Its your own fault that you look more like Missy Elliot than Gisele when the only form of exercise you get is walking towards the kitchen to get more potato chips.

So anyway i got pretty pissed a few days ago during class.

I had barely unwrapped my bar of Uncle Toby's chocolate chip granola bar when my concerned classmate exclaimed

"My god.. Are you anorexic ? Why are you eating this ?!"

"Whats wrong with Uncle Toby's ?!"

"Nothing.. Just that the anorexic girls in our class eat this for their meals so that they could lose weight"

Because i knew that it was futile to explain myself because of how skinny i look , i just gave her a polite smile and went back to my granola bar ( i love them )

Which brainless girl eats granola bars on diets anyway.. The carbohydates in the bar alone is enough to make any fan of the Atkin's Diet go into spasms.

If this post offended you , my apologies. I am usually not an angry person but when you get inane questions shoved into your face like for the third consecutive time , it happens.

Contrary to popular belief , we skinny girls are as self-conscious as the bigger girls.

Whenever i get stared at , i'll start to feel inferior and my pace will naturally hasten.

I get upset whenever i am unable to buy clothes that are fitting instead of just hanging on me like a bedsheet on a bamboo pole, just like how bigger girls get upset when they are unable to fit into their clothes.

I get depressed when i get comments from people that my boobs are non-existent , or when my guy friends starts comparing my chest to theirs even though i laugh it off most the times because i am so chummy with them.

Oh well.

I guess nobody is perfect eh. Cliched !

I get alot of remarks from girls that they want to be able to be as thin as me , and i just want to say that it is impossible to achieve it through healthy means and even if they DO slim down that much , they will still look like crap because of the extreme weight loss that will lead to a disgusting complexion , horrible stretch marks and loose skin hanging off their bones.

NOT very attractive.

Anyway.

Time to head out for chilli crab with the folks , followed by Cabson's birthday bash .

Booya !



Skinny but healthy and happy ( most of the time anyway without the disparaging comments )
