In Case You Didn’t Know, My Weight Should Never Be A Topic of Conversation

Dec 18, 2010

I’ve always been a very tiny person. It’s not something that I actively do on purpose it’s just in my genes and despite that, I still get crap from those around me about my tiny size—which in case you didn’t know, I HATE. In any regard, it was a rise of concern for my dad when I was younger and he pretty much did everything possible to try and “fatten” me up, short of trying the human growth hormone, which was pretty a good thing because who knows what human growth hormone side effects I would have endured.

In any event, I think he finally came to a point in his life where he realized that there wasn’t anything he could really do. It was in my genetics and short of manipulating my genetic coding his efforts were in vain. While I appreciate his concern and understand what he was trying to do, I have to admit it was probably one of the most humiliating times of my life. I felt like something was truly wrong with me and I couldn’t do anything about it, not matter how much I wanted to. I felt awful and anytime someone brings up how tiny I am it brings all those memories flooding back again.

So if I do happen to get bitchy at the mention of my weight, even if it’s just something done in jest, now you know why. I don’t like to be tiny and believe me if I had my way I’d much rather be on the heavier side so all the attention is taken from how tiny I am… maybe in a perfect world.
