You’re Shrinking

Don’t ever tell me that I’ve lost weight.  Don’t tell me I look thinner.

I fucking hate it.

First of all, I haven’t, and I don’t.  Lost weight or look thinner, that is.  I don’t diet; I don’t lose weight.  And even if I did, I stopped weighing myself about seven years ago so I wouldn’t know it.

Second of all, I’m not that fat to begin with.  My friend Sean and I used to talk about this all the time.  People who haven’t seen us in a while always say we look like we’ve lost weight, so he and I came to the conclusion that, in their minds, we live as obelisks.

Third of all, it’s none of your fucking business!  Would you say, “Boy, your acne has really cleared up!”  By making a statement about my imaginary weight loss, you’re condemning whatever I supposedly looked like previously.

Tell me I look smokin’ hot.  Tell me you love my new shirt.  But don’t fucking tell me I’m “shrinking”.
