I'm thin. Always have been, and most likely always will be. I've felt guilty about it ever since I can remember. I've shoved handfuls of cheese fries in my mouth in front of people who I'm sure would like to have seen me smacked. I eat what I want when I want and I've never thought twice about any of it. Now... I don't sit on my ass and pig out in front of the tv either. I'm not a lazy person. I get up. I move. I have sex. I play with my kids. I eat small portions because I'm a small person. I have genetics on my side. I'm not being pompous here, I'm being honest. I'm skinny. It's okay to be skinny. I'm fortunate. But I am not going to feel bad about it anymore. I've noticed while driving lately... a lot of the obese people I see driving next to me are shoving fast food in their mouths. I don't know if I can feel sorry for them. I know people who are losing weight. I see them working hard. I see them turning down a brownie when I know they want it really really bad. (Then I see me eating that brownie after they leave. I like brownies. Sue me.)
Anyway, back to my point. I'm tired of feeling guilty, so I won't. I don't come up to you and say you look as wide as a house. You don't need to point out that I'm skinny, unless it's a genuine compliment. Backhanded, undersided bullshit doesn't count. If it bothers you so much that you feel the need to be passive aggressive... think about where that's coming from. Think about what it is that is broken inside you and where the insecurity comes from. Women are too mean to each other as it is.

From one skinny bitch to another-
you said it sista!
(except I am lazy...other than that though...)
Those were my brownies!!!! You skinny bitch..... :o)
Skinny bitch is better than just a plain bitch any day.
I would say it's because you don't eat, but I have seen you eat Mexican food.
So your just lucky....
So now it is Lucky Skinny Bitch...J/K

Good for you. Be skinny and eat junk. I would if I could. People say stupid things all the time. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone told me, "YOU ARE SO TALL!" Duh. I'm 5'11". Get over it. And give me a dollar. ;-)
People always tell me I'm too Canadian.
OK. They don't. But I couldn't think of anything they say to me.
I think you're hawt.
The end.
I think I am guilty of calling you a skinny bitch. But I say it with love and affection and absolutely no passive aggressiveness (that I am aware of anyway!) I know my weight is no one's fault but my own, I can't even blame it on genetics. As my mother is fond of reminding me, she was only 7 stone 6 (104lbs) when she was 9 months pregnant with me. So it's totally my fault. My love of junk and my hatred of sweat do me no favours!
NO SHIT! AMEN!
I've considered writing this same post. Except I'm not as skinny as you.
:)
From another skinny bitch...ok well I'm not that skinny but still I too have genetics on my side!! I agree with everything that you said. I hate when people hate me because I'm skinny:-).
Actually, I like it when people hate me because I'm skinny. It's validation, in a roundabout way. Wish it could come positively but sometimes I take it like I can get it.
OMG! You must be reading my mind! I used to ignore those comments that I really knew had underhanded meaning...the older I have gotten the less I ignore though. I especially hate it when people say that of course I can find clothes at "insert store here" because I am so skinny. Ooooh I hate that. As if skinny folks just have the life of riley when it comes to shopping. I have news for everyone...it is actually aggravating! Either it is too wide and perfect length or vice versa. When I was pregnant (4 years ago) I wore my size 1 clothes up to the delivery room (mind you only the 1's that were elastic!). I gained weight (doc was happy with what I gained) BUT I did not sit on my butt the whole 9 months! I was still working and used the stairs at all cost and did not eat "for two" just because I had the excuse of having a #2! I still ate healthy...and so one week later I was back to 101. I know that bugs some...but frankly I got tired of apologizing for my eating habits and being skinny a long long long time ago! SO, preach on girlfriend!!!!! I am so very with you!
At least they don't call you anorexic to your face, right? I wish I could eat the crap you do.
