Setting the skinny record straight

Just the other day a little argument erupted between myself and another person (you know who you are, I won’t mention names) about skinny girls.

This man, like so many other people had a strong belief that if a girl is just too skinny she must be sick. Now anorexia and bulimia is a whole other issue that we’ll tackle on another day. I want to talk about the judgmental behavior the world has about the average skinny girl, and whether you think this is just a load of bull or you don’t want to waste your time reading this, read it anyway. You might just make your skinny daughter, niece, sister or friend feel better about herself today.

A world wide change has occurred where the world is now starting to embrace girls with a little more meat on them. I say, Amen to that! It’s about time. But what about the skinny girls? Are they all just sick or do some mothers just pass a hereditary skinny jean on to their daughters? Think before you judge people.

A very recent example of this kind of judgment is when I went to visit someone and when I walked in the door this person looked at me, took my arm and said, “Oh, you just disappearing more and more? Why don’t you pick up some weight man.” Now that’s the kind of BS I’m talking about. This person had clearly picked up a few kilo’s which I obviously didn’t mention to the person. So to make the person feel better, they tackled my weight.

Here’s just a little tip. Stay out of other people’s jeans sizes. Whether they’re thin or not so thin, rather look at yourself in the mirror and ask if you love yourself, because surely if you did, other people’s weight wouldn’t bother you.

Thank you J
