for everyone

You don't go up to a fat friend and say

Omigod you're so fat! Magpapayat ka nga!

So you can't come up to me and say

Omigod ang payat payat mo! Magpataba ka nga!
even if it is in a joking manner.

It's offensive. It's hurtful. It's accusatory without needing to be.
*I speak for all the girls out there who can't help but be skinny.

Prev: So far, so good?
Next: Filipina and proud.

That's the reason why I haven't been taking my meals lately. People would say, in a bakya and vulgar manner: "ang taba mo na!!" I don't accept opinions about my figure unless I ask for them.

I get this all the time from my aunt. It's really harsh. Offensive. Hurtful. Tama ka dun. Ok lang pansinin nya pero nakakainis pag inuulit pa.

Not unless it's said in a good way though.
Like, in my case, "omigod you're so skinny how do you do it?" would be okay.
The 2nd half makes all the difference. In that case, okay lang yung opinion. Pag positive. Positive = non-offensive. :D

Uh huh. And eating disorders. One should never accuse one of eating disorders. I've gotten that from someone (who "joked" that I had an eating disorder). Not funny.

I look like a bobblehead?? (You mean in the headshot right?) Cuz I don't... (except probably in the headshot cuz it's a weird angle. Haha.) Omigod noooo. I make fun of bobbleheads on TV. Skinny people with big round heads. And I do not have a round head, even!

Pincushion. Hahaha. Grabe ka naman hindi naman siguro.

Uh huh. Concern is okay. Concern from family or friends is understandable, appreciated. Pero there's a line drawn here and be careful not to be repetitive and insulting. You got it.

Dude, mas mahirap yan. -_-;;

Especially if this is coming from a certain person who is under the pseudonym of bigbaddie.

Right on!!!
I can't help it if I easily gain a pound or two after pigging out. It is genetics. Alam kaya nila yun? Srsly.

I agree with justthatbad about the bakya and vulgar manner of referring to your weight...it is soooo annoying.

I'd agree because I'm used to it.
Basta people should stop pointing it out like it's wrong. As long as there are no eating disorders to speak of, then everyone should just shut up. :)

Or if I lose a pound everytime I can't help but skip a meal.

True, true.
