what im tryin to say is that why do we think its ok to comment on the size of the slimmer woman and not the larger one . this is my opinion anyway
I think that if anyone does this if just plain bad-mannered and would probably comment the same about someone they consider overweight ... a lot of the time it can be the overweight person who is conscious of her weight and a sort of bitchiness to compensate them.

I have a friend who insults me regularly by calling me the 'stick insect' and thinks ought to put more weight on ..... Excuse Me !! no way can I be described as this !!!

As always being slim herself in the past, and now 'grown' a little in size, is feeling a lack of self-confidence .. although she is still extemely attractive, just wants me to join her club so to speak.

I ignore it of course and, yes, still are good friends believe it or not..
