Weighty Issues
I'm about to offend anyone who considers his or herself larger than skinny.

I don't care how the issue comes up, who starts it, who participates in it, or what the conversation is about, but when discussing weight issues, skinny people will always be on the losing end of a weight-y conversation.

Even if skinny people have nothing at all to say on the matter, being within earshot and eye-shot of a conversation about weight will get you into trouble. You are guilty even if you don't say a word and aren't apart of the conversation. Just 'being' skinny in the vicinity is your offense.

Weight loss, diets, swimsuits, exercising, calories, hips, thighs, fat, food . . . all of it. Losing topics of conversation when a skinny person is around. By no fault of our own, except that we are non-large.

As a voice of the thin, I will speak up to let the world know that weighty issues do not only pertain to those who are non-skinny. It's tough being skinny.

But I'm not complaining.
