the nerve of some people, seriously

I cannot STAND it when people call thin/skinny people "anorexic"
Like when people ask me "why all my friends are anorexic"
YOU DONT KNOW THEM
you cannot assume a thin person is anorexic
and anorexic is certainly not a synonym for skinny

just because YOU'RE fat doesn't mean thin people are anorexic.
thank you.

    AMEN. It's a very serious accusation to make. I also think it can be especially offensive to those who do struggle with eating disorders.

    Also- you look fabulous!

    I'm glad you got that off your chest in a place where more people will see it than just the people posting in the Disney thread. :flowerforyou:

    It is rude to call people anorexic. It is also rude to call people fat. Two rudes don't make a polite.

    I did not say that "everyone who calls someone anorexic is fat"
    I was saying about one personal experience.
    It was a RANT about something that HAPPENED

    your talking about people using the word anorexic and hurtig your friends feelings how do you think it makes people on a weight loss site feel when you use the word FAT in the way you did it was clearly meant as a insult to those people calling your friends anorexic so you clearly think little of overweight people ,,,, i just dont understand how you can be soooo against name calling and then do it yourself within the same post

    You look gorgeous !!!!!! Congratulations. I lost a lot of weight one time and went from like 125 down to 100 pounds. Every body was
    calling me anorexic. OMG!!! How stupid. Sometimes people just want to pick on you like birds pecking. Ignore it, and go on looking
    fantastic.
