Why is it okay?

Question

I have posted stuff before but this one is for rant and rave. I live a pretty comfortable and decent life. I come from a very big family and all of us is petite. We love our friends and love to be hosts. So I say we are pretty nice and respectable people. All my life I have been petite and small and when I got married I I was 85 lbs at 5'0 tall. I gained 17lbs  I am now 102 4 years later. Why is it that people feel the need to tell me I am too skinny or you wouldn't understand because your skinny. Well I have love handles(small ones) just like you. I have cellulite on my thighs I have stretch marks in between my thighs. I may not be a bigger person but I am a petite person. Some of the comments are made from some of my friends. It makes me so self conscious when they say things to me like that. I know one time a comment was made well yall prob can't get pregnant bc you
Are TOO THIN. how do I deal with ignorant people like that. Makes me so mad! Should I speak up and call them names so they know how it feels or ignore them and let it dwell.

Answer

I've been in that position. I'm about 5'4 and before I got pregnant I was 95 lbs due to a very fast metabolism. People would always tell me I'm too skinny or I couldn't support a baby. Some people even had the nerve to tell me I look too young to be married and shouldn't be. It's hard to ignore but it's worth it. Next month is my one year anniversary and I'm 24 weeks pregnant and my midwife says everything looks great! Don't give up!

Answer

My sister in law is 4'11" and is 79lbs and she had a baby. You're fine. For some reason if you're short you have to be overweight for the rest of the world to think you're at a healthy weight. I'm 5'1" and I'm 160 away over weight but no one believes me because I look so small.

Answer

I think you should call them out straight away!  How would your friends feel if you called them chubby or fat?  It's the same thing!  It's rude.  I used to get that a lot to and I ended up just calling everyone out and made them feel ashamed of themselves.  It never happens now.  Good luck xx

Answer

I dont get what people get from calling others horrible names, even if they say theyre joking.
Tbh, if i were you, as hard as it may be or seem, just try your very best to ignore them comments because you are so much better than them :-) Let the comments go through one ear and out the other, and put them to the back of your mind, way way back!

I hope this helps you :-)
