Fat and Skinny

Dear Fat People and Skinny people:
In all honestly, I don't make fun of fat people. Don't get me wrong, it's not because I'm fat. They provide heat in the winter, shade in the summer and ample fluff to comfort you in times of much needed snuggle. I respect their usefulness year round and their societal contributions. It's only logical.  I made fun of skinny gals, until recently, only because I was slimmer longer than I've been plump. As a former skinny bitch, I have an in depth knowledge of both sides of the spectrum, and can provide accurate commentary to that effect. But recently my objectivity has been brought to task on several occasions over comments about peoples weight.  I may apologize or offer them food, it's still a toss up. (sorry)  

I've said that to say this. Isolating and putting someone down based on their weight is stupid. I keep seeing imperfect people putting similarly built people down unnecessarily. If you are unhappy with yourself, then make the necessary changes. Don't use someone else to make you feel better. Be self effacing. No one can boost your self esteem, it's yours.  I enjoy the company of cuddly people just as much as skinny people. I just stand behind the cuddly people when it gets cold and thoroughly make sure that I help my skinny friends over cracks as not to lose them.   But if I offend anyone with my commentary about people based on my observations of them, then feel free to pinch me or at least tell me stop.  I'll attempt to behave. Thank you for your attention this matter.


Sincerely


Lissy
