get a new topic to talk about

I guess I have a lot of time to spare today since I'm writing two posts in an hour. It's really boring in here anyways.

Stupid things people say about your weight.

We encounter it all the time I guess. Someone comes up to you and make a comment about your body, weight or size. This person might say something that hurts you, maybe he/she said something that leaves you really confused. I’ve heard a lot of crazy things in my life, things said to me and things said to people I know. So I thought we could dedicate this to stupid things people say in hopes that we will no longer let the things people say hurt us but rather laugh and make fun of those crazy comments.

I’ll start…

“You’re not as BIG as you used to be!” (Mind you I was underweight at the time of this comment and have never been more than a Size 4 in my entire life).

"That shirt makes you look pregnant."

"Are you sure you're not pregnant?"

"You should just wear dresses."

"Did you lose weight? You look so much better."

"Wow! Those jeans look really baggy on you, good for you."

"Are you losing weight? You’re getting so much prettier!"

"Don’t get any bigger."

I think part of the reason people think that they can just say whatever about another person’s body is because we are being taught on a daily basis that weight is a public issue. We see it on television commercials, magazines and all kinds of advertisements. It is embedded into the fabric of so many of our conversations and it is a part of our collective consciousness. So, the next time people say something semi-insulting or totally insulting about your body, you might want to take the time to point out to them that their comments are crazy and they should find another topic or personality for that matters.

Bluuurrrppp

I haven't posted anything on my blog for quite some time. Been extra busy with work and no weekends off. Some life..

It's an awesome job, but the demanding hours and tight deadlines that kills me. I'm munching wonka nerds, while writing this and looking at the people in the news room.

I had a different image of how the newsroom would be before I work here, I mean the people. How they act, how they are. Well let's just say some of them isn't at the standard of my imagination.

It's funny the things they say and ask at times..
