: Yeah, I suppose. But I guess it just bugs me that people think skinnyness is some sort of great thing. And it sometimes makes people seriously ill trying to attain a weight that is simply unnatural for their body.
I agree with you there. But the point is that I know I'm not at a weight which is healthy for my body. And I think Kevin feels that way, too. Just as someone who's an anorexic should be congradulated for eating a cheeseburger (see Fiona Apple's new video, yay Fiona!), someone who's unhealthily heavy should be congradulated for bringing it down. IMO.
: I don't know. Personallt, it just pisses me off when people are disappointed in me because I'm not skinny.
: happy with herself, just wishes everyone else was, too.
I appreciate and sympathize with this. It's your choice to look like how you wish to look like. People shouldn't be disappointed with you as a person for that. I think I knew where you were coming from when you said this, I just think that the original comment came from a good place.
