Weight

Before I begin today's post, I want to let you know that I have entered "crunch-time" in studying for the bar. Wish me luck!

A while back, Yuter blogged about the IY"H phenomenon. He wondered why it was acceptable to say "IY"H by you" to someone unmarried but not OK to say the same to those married without children. You can read the post here.

I want to apply that same analysis to weight. Whether you like it or not, we, as a society, have progressed to the point where it is no longer appropriate to comment on someone's being overweight. For some reason, it is still apropos to mention/comment on someone's weight if they are thin. This doesn't really bother me much but why do people assume that thin people don't have some of the same (albeit inverse) problems with food that overweight people have? You can say what you want to me so long as you are prepared to discuss weight issues in general (forewarned is forearmed) but if you meet other thin people please think twice before you tell them that they should eat more.
