On the original topic, I, too, despise when people comment on my body. For example, when I turn down cake at a office party, they all make a huge deal of it, saying things like: Oh, I suppose thats why she's so thin! As if being thin suddenly makes me a better person, or shows that I have such great willpower and self-control.
No, fuckers, I'm thin because I have anorexia with bulimic tendencies. I have no self control because I puke up my food and define my worth on whether I've eaten or not. I've had a crappy existance with food since I was a little girl. I wish I could be fat and happy and not worry about eating a little slice of cake.
I wish women could just stop judging each other based on body image. Our self-worth should be based on how much we've lived up to our own standards, not someone else's.
