Why are you so skinny?
)

Do people ask you why you are so skinny?
Do they encourage you to eat more?
How do you respond?
When they ask me why I’m so lean I try to be kind and say something like when I eat more, I have more energy and I get more active and burn it off. Or just change the subject and talk about them.
Sometimes I feel like saying something like, “Why are you so fat?”. But never have the nerve.
I’ve been the same weight plus or minus a couple pounds sense I was in high school (I’m 69). I’m 5’ 11” and weigh 142 + or – 2 pounds. BMI 21 or 22. I’ve seen many doctors for different reasons in my life and no doctor has told me that I need to gain weight. Also I have a running buddy who is a medical doctor who is even leaner than I am.
What say you?
