I've been reading this thread and talking in the chatroom and reading a magazine as well. Women are multitaskers you know we have to be - before anyone starts. Anyway i've just typed this in the chatroom and was told to put it in here as well. It's from That's Life magazine on the letters page and its the Star letter as well.

A Thin Time of It

I'm 38 and i've always been a size 6-8. For as long as I can remember, people have made hurtful remarks about my size. Once, at a meal with my husband's workmates, one leant over to me and said "You'd better eat all that up. You look like you need it!". Word's can't describe how embarrassed I felt. Would someone go up to a large person and say something as rude and personal?
I'm not just a 'skinny' person, i'm a hard working mum. People should think before making thoughtless comments. Who knows what effect they may have?

By the way i'm a big person.
