I have various health issues (some of which are very serious) and also my diet is horrible. Sometimes all I'll eat in a day is a pint of ice cream, some crackers, and a cup of coffee. This is completely wrong for my body, and I know it, but I don't look it. Despite the fact I've had problems with alcoholism and substance abuse in the past, I am skinny, therefore I must have excellent habits/health. The truth is I was just blessed with with a really fast metabolism- and I have an eating disorder, which people insist can't happen to men. Yet I've seen plenty of plus-sized people eat nothing but apples. Their wieght doesn't change. My weight can vary as much as 20 pounds higher or 30 pounds lower. I've had such low weight I've wound up in the hospital. I am currently at 135 pounds for a 6'3" male, but no strangers lectured me on my health. Even when I weighed only 105 pounds, no one thought to criticize my eating habits or worry about a health concern. But my beautiful fiancee, who is deliciously curvy, gets hassled by random strangers for her weight. Because of her, I am learning about all the prejudices of society, and how false they are. I even had to confront some of my own misconceptions. Basically, society seems to be saying it's okay for me to be so skinny that I'm on the point of death, but there's something wrong with my fiancee, who is more athletically fit than I am. I wish people could have realized how unhealthy I was earlier in my life, and they could accept my lovey as she is. No one us will ever know enough about a person to judge them. Thank you Joy Nash for your work on this form of prejudice.. P.S. Is that hat upside down? I am utterly bamboozled. I am stick thin and very unhealthy.

Seriously. If I decide to run screaming through my house buck naked singing "Skip to My Lou" no one would bat an eye, cause, well, it's MY house. But if I decide to love me for who I am and work on being healthy instead of stick thin, it's ok to tell me that I'm going to Hell or am destined to be alone or whatever foolishness these "well-wishers" want to say. The post is awesomeness..and I've said it before..and I'll say it again...you friggin rawk my sox! Oh, and for those America's Next Top Model addicts (myself included!) the woman wearing that amazing hat is Robyn from cycle 1.

Great post! The Velvet quote reminded me of a conversation I had with my dear, always critical, older brother a number of years ago. He responded to my, "My weight is between me and my doctor and it's none of your business," with a very patronizing, "Just tell me one thing you've done for your health this year." As he was lighting up a John Player's Special Blend (one of the strongest cigarettes available in Canada). To which I replied, "I quit smoking. How about you?" Shut down the entire conversation. Hah! Great post!

I've been christian for years and I'm going to fry in the hell because I'm fat LOL. I've lost 50 pounds and now I'm stuck! what I can do... It's not that i don't eat correctly (well... I can't abandon chocolate) but I try. Still... now weight loss. I agree with you completely. Being fat is just what I am and I will be forever and if somebody don't like it it's their problem not mine. I love myself! ^_^ When I read things like that I just want to laugh.
