TIL: I (5'3) am an anorexic because I don't eat in the same quantities as my 6'4 SO. Sunday lunch with SO's side of the family.  With the exception of myself, SO, and MIL, everyone in extended family are overweight or obese, except for the young ones that haven't ballooned... Yet.  This isn't really surprising, because my SO's family are Polynesian, and they tend to be of a heavier demographic. But our difference is exacerbated because I'm Asian, and quite fit, so, at these family things, I stick out like a sore diabetic thumb.  Generally, his family are lovely people, the older relatives are kind hearted and warm people, and I don't begrudge them, besides their weight, and wish they'd take care of their health more.  Today, I'm seated across from one of SO's cousins, in her early 20's, but looks far older due to fat. She watches me eat really intently. I eat my fill, and give some of my serving to SO. I'm pretty full, and saving room for delicious coconut-y dessert.  Her: Why aren't you eating more? Are you full already? Stop giving (SO) your food, he'll get fat.  (She says this jokingly, but srsly, SO isn't even close to fat, so, my mind is boggling) I continue scraping my food onto his plate, ignore her.  Later, I overheard her tell another Auntie how she thought I was anorexic -"that's why all Asian girls are thin, eh? They never eat anything. "  I interject, barely able to speak with a large mouthful of pudding in my gob -  "Are you guish talkin' bou me?"  Silence.  TL;DR: TIL Am anorexic because I know portion control, junetiks, and because I don't eat the same about as my SO who is almost literally twice my size.
