Great topic, Baron! I think Bll nialed it on the head that people are simply ignorant. hey say things to mean well, not realizing that they are being inslting, rude, and ignorant. When I have my surgery, and lose the weight, I think I wil copy Marie (I hope this is okay, Marie) and carry a picture of myself around. Without saying a word, I'll pop the picture out and leave them gasping for air LOL.
As for the naturally skinny people - I work with one. Whenever surgery is brought up (mind you, she asks me all the time how my ore-op tests are going), she always says, "Yeah, I've got to lose 10 pounds. i weigh 105 and should weigh 95." Let me just shoot her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for letting me rant, too :-)
