I was honest about my size and build once, and got a ton of abuse calling me anorexic, ‘mental’ and told I was apparently totally in denial about an eating disorder. 😬
They neglected to take on board what I was saying, which was that I’m very active (running, weights, boxing, MMA, etc), have a cardiac consideration that slightly dictates diet (I eat a lot, just well) and apparently, despite my little skeletal frame (key) and good health and strength I am ‘dangerously underweight’ (honestly, it was aggressive by several, but one poster in particular, I almost sent her a body shot to get to fuck off and leave me alone). I reported her to MNHQ because she was manic.
People are really mad about weight on here. And extremely beholden to the BMI scale. But only thinner people are fair game for abuse.
That said, there’s a lot of lies told online. Especially on here. I think there’s plenty of people with bleak existences pretending they’re loaded with letters after their name, cracking husbands, ski holidays and kids on track for Oxbridge, none of which they get particularly worked up about because they’re just so fucking secure in who they are. And rich.
