(9,902 posts)when we start labeling each other either.
whether it's "plus size" or "minus size" (as someone else put it)
or that us smaller women must have an eating disorder - (though I admittedly do, but it's normally controlled unless I'm depressed) I'm also genetically small, under five feet tall...and, even with things under control in my life, I'm still a size four, and 105-110 lbs. When things are bad...well, yeah, I've been known to drop to 90lbs. Some women are just built this way. Some women are going to be bigger too.
People make fun of eating disorders here, (eat a sandwich or what have you) yet other mental illnesses get the pass and if one makes a disparaging comment about someone's mental illness their post is usually shat upon, but eating disorders...those are game. Skinny people, they're game.
