The Weigh In

If someone is over weight, random people would never comment on their weight. But why is it when someone is average or skinny, people feel they can make slightly rude comments? I encountered this three times this week, I forget the exact comment of the first parent but she made a sly comment at the beach regarding my eating habits. It happened later at the school bar-b-que and then this morning by my neighbor:



Grandmother at school bar-b-que: "Did you eat anything yet Ms. Sweeney?"
Mother at school bar-b-que: "Does it look like Ms. Sweeney ever eats?"


Neighbor moving boxes, "Go ahead, this box weighs a lot more than you anyway."


How rude! I eat three meals a day, I enjoy eating healthy but have but also enjoy a good burger and fries!!
