Is it normal to feel offended when someone tells you "you are so skinny"?

[Anonymous]

There's a woman at my work place who always make remarks on my weight by saying "you are so skinny" "don't you eat?" "You are becoming skinner day by day "

For reference I'm 5'3" and weigh around 57kg 126lbs. And my BMI is around 22.3. I do weight training 2 times in a week and my body mostly carry fat on thigh and hips (slim pear shaped)

Also she is the only one who tells me "you are so skinny" no else does which I find it weird.

Such comments are usually delivered with a dose of anger mixed in. I understand taking offense.

I hear it often, but it doesn’t bother me because I like the way I look.
I just get irritated when someone overweight tries to lecture me on my diet.

Any comments on people's weight regardless if they're overweight or underweight are never easy to digest.

I think that's really bad manners and inconsiderate. I don't blame you for feeling offended.

Thank you for MHO!

You have a perfect normal body and a healthy BMI. And since you train, you will have a good muscle/fat ratio. So, nothing to worry about.

She might want you to fatten up so you are less competition.
