Family holidays are gonna give me a stroke Some thanksgiving stories, as remembered from that night. The idea brought to you by this post and the idea of hypocrisy towards eating disordered people. -People are extremely hypocritical about being underweight. As an example, when my mom saw me she literally burst into tears because I'm "just too skinny and fading away like you did last time you were dumb!" (reference, I'm 5'7 112lbs. She is referring to when I was 90lbs a couple years ago). My brother gained enough weight (I'd say 20-30lbs?) he had to get a new wardrobe, and has grown even bigger tits (also 5'7, but probably 210-220). My mom praised him for "working so hard" and "watching what he ate" since he is "always at the gym". Only myself, and his gf, got on his case about his third plate of food at my parents house. -I lift weights. I enjoy it, and I like talking about it with people. My brother does crossfit, which I have Opinions about. However, what really pissed me off is him feeling free to say things like "You can't even lift that much, you're too skinny!" or "man I wish I could just not eat, I'd look great in no time" (my family knows about my eating disorder). Lo and behold, I say "Hey dipface you shouldn't have your third helping of mashed potatoes, you'll get even fatter and roll instead of jogging" and all hell breaks loose. -We went to his gf's thanksgiving with her massive family. I say massive, because there were maybe 30 "people" there but only 3 of them were normal weight. If you guessed it was anyone but me, the SO, and my brother's gf, you would be horribly mistaken. They proceed to comment on how my SO and I are "so tiny" and ask how we lost weight from last thanksgiving, all while shoveling even more food into and onto themselves (our secret is this ancient Mayan technique called diet and exercise). Were I to say to the brother (the gf's) "Yeah man, you look like you gained some weight" I would never be welcome back. Oh and my own brother had 2 more plates of food there (I mean cups and cups of pasta, cheese, meat, and finally 1/3 of a pie... with whipped cream).  And before anyone says "this isn't food hate" it isn't, but I know for a fact my stupid brother took no precautions before or after thanksgiving to make up for the 5k calories he ate. And that is why he's fat.
