Anybody else get hassled about being thin?

[Guest guest]

My doctor says I am in excellent health, and I am fit. I am on the

thin side as most CRONers are.I get reaally tired of being hassled

about this (mostly from overweight people) by the general public and

the cruel comments about my being " too thin " . Actually I am within

the low normal range weight for my height and age given that I am

small boned. How do other CRON-ers deal with this? I have no desire

to educate the general public about CR, and I dont want to discuss my

CR lifestyle with strangers, but I would like to avoid cruel comments

such as " Go eat a cookie! You look like a scarecrow! " and other such

verbal assaults. The way I am dealing with it is to ignore it, say

nothing and either change the subject or if the comment is especially

nasty I just walk away. I have found if I say anything in self

defense I get people bossing into my business and lifestyle choices

and additional criticism about my weight that I really dont want to

hear. Usually these are complete strangers or intrusive coworkers who

I dont know very well.

My friends and family are too caring to make such insensitive

comments (or are also CRON folks like my spouse is, and my spouse

does not think I am too thin).

I would love to hear from others who have the same experience and how

you choose to deal with it.
