thoughtless froth

I was recently the recipient of a an comment about my weight/size. I was told that I needed to get “some meat on my bones.” Of course I immediately responded with a quip about how I’m a vegetarian. 

Well they didn’t really take it as a joke and started talking about how I look unhealthy. They said that just a month ago I looked different and a little “bigger” as they put it. 

I tried to explain to them that it’s not my fault that I lose weight. I walk a lot and workout some but mostly I just try and eat healthy. My metabolism has always been pretty high and I’ve never really done anything to increase it. It is just that way. 

I sit on my ass for 8 hours at a time looking at a computer, making records with bands and I lose weight. Do I try to lose weight? No. Does that stop my body from dropping the weight? No. 

I don’t see why someone who is not me, decides to tell me I’m unhealthy and need to gain weight. I’m sorry that I’m not eating 3 meals of McDonalds a day and running to a 20 oz. DIET Coke for my means of hydration. If you are unhappy with the way your body looks, don’t chastise other people; make a change and become the person you want yourself to be. 

Thanks.
