Stop Calling Me Skinny! (1209 hits)

Why is it acceptable to call someone skinny, but not okay to call someone fat?

In a recent reflective blog I explain how I really feel about being called skinny. If you've ever experienced a dramatic weight loss I'm sure you can relate. Check it out and, as always, feel free to share your thoughts: http://ow.ly/kq819.

Dr. Nina,

...However, my mother doesn’t play that. Her immediate response was “Ohhh, I’m fat, but you’re ugly...I can lose this weight, what are you going to do with your face!” ...

I had to pick myself up off the floor!!! I love that; mama don't play!

..."That woman shut her mouth and walked away enraged. My mother looked at me and said, “She never complimented me when I had that nice figure.” I never forgot that moment."...

I know you wrote this as an encouragement to physical health, but this blessed my spirit tremendously! In life, there will always be haters both young and old but one must keep it movin' ( both literally and figuratively)... Just Do It!

You look wonderful!
