Just a couple of the things that annoy me:
The exclamation of friends and romantic prospects of, “You’re not fat!” whenever I happen to make casual reference to my jiggly state.
What I want to say and may still: What you mean is that I’m not ugly. I’m not lazy or sloppy or stupid. I don’t sit at home eating snack cakes all day and my definition of exercise isn’t hunting for the remote while I watch soap operas and daydream about a life I think I don’t deserve. But make no mistake, I am most definitely fucking FAT!
The assumption that, “You’ve lost weight!” passes as a compliment. That is not a compliment, motherfucker. That is an observation of a physical change (or an outright lie since most of the time when I hear this one I’ve gained, if anything). It’d be like me exclaiming, all smiles, “You’ve had a nosejob!” or “You’ve gained weight!” Let’s just all settle for,”You look great/hot/sexy/pretty/happy!” and leave it at that, mmkay?
