I've bitched about this to some people already but I still don't really know what to think.
Lately... well, not even lately, but for the past couple months, my co-workers keep commenting on my weight. Basically they are telling me I'm too thin.
Here's a sampling of some of the comments I've gotten about it.
"Did you lose a ton of weight? You look like you're going to blow away."
"You must have those 'skinny genes.'"
"How come you never eat on your break?" (I don't eat on my 15 minute breaks because I'd rather play video games) "You need to EAT, you're too thin!"
"Did you lose more weight? Your face looks a bit thinner. Yeah. I can see it in your cheeks."
"You pick away at all that candy and snacks, don't eat any real food, that's why you're so thin!"
"Haha, is that your dinner?" (after I dumped 3 chocolate bars on the table) "How are you so skinny?"
Seriously, there's only a handful of people at work who haven't mentioned anything to me about it.
First off, it's weird, because I wasn't aware that everyone was constantly critiquing my appearance while I am doing my job.
Secondly, I am not really that thin. I'm definitely not "too thin." I'm 5'3 112 lbs. That's perfectly normal.
Thirdly, I haven't fluctuated weight in a while and the heaviest I've been while working there is 115, so where are these "you lost a ton of weight" comments coming from?
It's getting on my nerves and making me a little self conscious. To the point where last night I took a long hard look in the mirror trying to decide if I was too thin and just not noticing it. But really, I'm not. I look fine. I don't know what gives? It's like once a week someone brings something up about it.
Like today, one of my co-workers brought back a huge case of chocolates from Hawaii and I asked if I could have one. My other co-worker goes "yes she needs to have one, she needs to eat, get some meat on those bones! You never eat!" and I was like "Uhh, yeah I do, just not on my 15's because it's only a 5 hour shift and I'd rather play games. If a person can't go without food for 5 hours they have a problem."
Agh wtf! Are they just jealous? I don't hang around with women, all my friends are guys. And everyone at my job is a chick. I don't know how their minds work.
It's driving me batty! Someone tell me why they care or think it's any of their business.
