Says much about our culture I tell you. When I was anorexic and participating heavily in the party life in my twenties and the ribs showed through my back, I was hit on continuously and complimented on my 'healthy looks'. A healthy lifestyle has turned admiration to bitter distance from most. Hardly a mystery since a review of fashion mags and models’ exploits reveals that people love a sickly, waifly looking woman.

People are weird. When I was 18, I had mono, and lost a bunch of weight. You know, from the starving to death while sleeping 18 hours a day and feeling like I was on fire and not having the energy to even shower... When I finally felt well enough to move again, and went out, I felt like death warmed over, and the first thing people said was something along the lines of "Hey, you look great! Have you been working out?" No. I'm dying. Shut the fuck up. HAHA!

No.
I’m dying.
Shut the fuck up.

Men hit on me. Sometimes women hit on me. The rest of the time, I'm "unapproachable/intimidating". I like to think of it as: I'm just so unbelievably fabulous when I feel good, that ONLY when I feel like shit am I down on a level where mundanes dare approach. ;) Consistently, all my life, when I go out looking and feeling like crap, people approach me.

People would tell me how great I looked, and I think it was mainly because the sunburnt lizard look had dissipated a bit.
