(51,076 posts)I happen to be skinny and have dreamed my whole life about why can't I be normal, weight wise, hell mental wise too for that matter but anyways I'd give my first born to be what is considered to be a normal size. I can sympathize with over weight persons or persons like me who are underweight. Sometimes I wonder if my size doesn't have something to do with the rough time we had as poor white trash when I was just a toddler. I'm more inclined to think that my problem is mostly in my head and my size is in my genes. Over the years I've grown to accept that I won't be breaking anyones back when they carry me to my grave except of course that I don't want to be put in a hole in the ground to take up space that we are quickly growing out of enough of.
I wish people didn't dwell on ones size and accepted us who don't fit the norm with out the snide remarks like he or she is so skinny or fat and just let us live our lives as we are without the extra burden of constantly being reminded of our being different.
