I've been skinny my entire life. Being skinny means that people often make comments about my size and my eating habits. There are also many phrases people will tell me in reference to my size. If you're a skinny girl, I'm sure you are tired of hearing these too...

1. "You're so skinny!"

Oh, gee really? I never noticed....

2. "You need some meat on your bones."

Saying this to a skinny person is like telling a fat person to lose weight. It's offensive either way.

3. "Is that all you're going to eat?"

Yes that's all I'm going to eat because it's all I want to eat.

4. "If you turn sideways, you disappear."

That's not humanly possible. I'm not Flat Stanley.

5. "Can I give you some of my fat?"

I mean you can try, but...

6. "You'd look good in anything because you're so skinny."

It's a blessing and a curse.

7. "You're so lucky you're small."

Sometimes I don't feel that way.
