Jill Clark and the gang at Twenty Something had me on another episode, which is online now. The topic is a debate near and dear to every woman's heart: Fat vs. Thin. The motivation behind this episode was some really terrible comments made by a viewer who called the TS girls fat and told them they needed to lose weight. Instead of crying into their martinis, the girls tackled the topic head on.

Obviously this is a sore topic for many and it goes both ways. A skinny girl is likely to get just as many comments about their weight as a heavier one.

Oh you're too skinny! Someone give that girl a burger! Turn sideways and you'll disappear...

Hmmm... are those supposed to be taken as compliments just because you wish you were skinny? My upper body is quite small and even a bit bony and there is nothing I can do about it. If I gain weight it all goes to my hips and you will still be able to see my ribs in a few places. Should I feel bad about myself because of something I can't control?

The one thing in common is that the comments stem from the insecurities of the other person. If you are a happy self assured person, insulting a heavier person or someone thiner than yourself would be out of the question. It wouldn't even be on your radar. You would be too busy noticing how great the other person is to judge them for something they may not have much control over. Genuine concern for someone you suspect to be anorexic or dangerously obese is a different matter.

I highly recommend you check out the episode and share your thoughts. Have you been insulted for being too fat or too thin?
