Thanks Lettie. Not once in this thread have I said I am un-happy about my size, people just think they heard me say it. What I was actually getting at is what you have just said Lettie. No matter what size you are, it does NOT give people the permission to make mindless nasty comments about your size.

Like you said Lettie, the comment about SPINDLE legs were at the time just as hurtful as being called FAT or CHUBBY and had such a impact that you didn't wear skirts because of it........ So that was my point, THINK before you speak, because your words might be meant in a LAUGHY kind of way, but doesn't excuse the hurt they cause.
