didn't think I was too fat at the time either, thank you very much. "Body Dysmorphic Disorder?" Nice label, and nice assumption. But thanks for showing that assumptive stereotypes are alive and well on either side of the fence... :roll:

Shannon,

You are just thin. Petites are ladies who are about 5'4" or less is it 5'2" or less??

 

[rockin JC]

petite in size...not in height. And when I shop its in the petite sizes as nothing else fits right.

Dear lord -- "I'm afraid I might break you" ?? Niiiice. It bears reminding oneself that one does not comment upon a client's body!

Isn't it amazing? Don't people learn simple manners, anymore? I taught my kids that never, under any circumstances, do we make comments on someone's body! Goodness! :O

I've been on both sides, too - quite underweight and then medication induced somewhat overweight. The comments were worse when I was thin. My "favorites" were, "you could lie in the shade of a clothesline!" and "Stick out your tongue and turn sideways - yep, you look like a zipper!" :roll:

I honestly wanted to ask the worst offenders (those who just HAVE to comment EVERY time they see their favorite thin person) if they were ready for me to assess their body, now???

Now that I have the pudgy tummy, most people are too polite to comment. I don't particularly love the shape I'm in, but I do enjoy the peace and quiet, lol.
