Fat vs Skinny

BODY WEIGHT

It is a very sensitive issue, isn't it?
This is especially true to those who are overweight or obese, and not to forget, those mentally-ill people who always think or tell others about how fat they are when the fact is, they're not, no offense. ( I once used to think I'm fat too)

Nevertheless,
if you think only those who are plump get offended when other people give comments about their physical state, think again.
It is also an issue to those who are underweight or skinny.
The nearest example is, me.
Friends, family, relatives, neighbors, exes, enemies (duhh) and even strangers never thought about what I feel when they say something like;

"babe, you ni kecik sgt la, angin tiup sure terbang," or,
"ko ni dr dulu sekeping je aku tgk, x cukup mkn ke ape," or
"makanla byk sket, sedeyh aku tgk ko ni,"
ok that's enough, there are too many comments I don't even wish to recall.

The problem is, ladies and gentlemen,
I'm neither on diet, nor a vegetarian,
I don't restrict my food intake, or try to lose my weight.
As a matter of fact, I eat A LOT, no kidding, I mean it, seriously.
It's not my fault that those things I ate were not converted into fat or increased my body weight.
I tried my best ok, I did, it's just that things don't always turn out the way we want them to be.
If your conscience tells you that telling someone how fat they are can hurt that person's feelings, please consider the fact that giving comments like skinny, keding, kering and yg seangkatan dgnnya to those who are thin, might also hurt their feelings even if you think it's not offensive.

Well in my case, I don't usually care about what people think of my figure, it wouldn't affect me bcoz most of the time, they envy me or just joking about it, but when hurtful comments come from my loved ones implying that they don't like it, now that hurts, really. That's me, whether you like it or not, so take it or leave it.
