Enough Already: 8 Things Not to Say to a Thin Girl

Enough Already: 8 Things Not to Say to a Thin Girl
Life is tough, weight issues are tougher. Everyone wants to be the  'correct' weight, no one knows what it is and people are self-proclaimed fitness experts (No, don't look them up and down, their magic formulas only work on others *Yeah, RIGHT!*).

If you are overweight, they'll dole out tips for losing weight and if you are thin, they'll urge you to add a few kilos. Experts, these people.

While, the plus-size women go through their share of nonsense, the smaller sizes don't have it painless either. Here is what they hear

In a packed car:
"Come, we have enough (half an inch) space for you"
"Don't worry, you can sit on my lap"



What the thin girl wants to say but doesn't: Are you Ryan Gosling? If not, this option is invalid

At the gym:
"But you don't need to lose weight"



What the thin girl wants to say but doesn't: Thanks for giving unsolicited advice. Maybe, you should stop flexing your judgemental muscle. Heard of staying healthy, EVER?

At a retail store:
"Sorry, we don't have a smaller size. Why don't you try the kids section?"



What the thin girl wants to say but doesn't: Um, because I'm not a kid

In an auto/rickshaw:
"Madam, thoda shift ho jaiye, kitni jagah hai... ek aur savari aa jayegi"



What the thin girl wants to say but doesn't: I don't want company

At a party:
"OMG! You are so thin. I'm so jealous"



What the thin girl wants to say but doesn't: Is that a compliment?

At a restaurant:
"Wow, you eat! Where does all the food go?"



What the thin girl wants to say but doesn't: Mine goes to my stomach, your's probably goes to your knees

At a family do:
"Beta, weight put on karlo, aur achche lagoge." / "Are you unwell?"



What the thin girl wants to say but doesn't: I'm awesome and you are not

Out on a windy day:
"You will fly away"



What the thin girl wants to say but doesn't: I might slip through the cracks in the floor too, anything else?
