Difficult to believe? That not everyone has a massive, bottomless pit for a stomach? I don’t know why that’s extremely difficult to believe since everyone is different and I’m hardly unique.

But you’re certainly not the first. I’ve had plenty of waiters who are convinced I hated my perfectly delicious meal simply because the serving size is way too big for me. I’ve had colleagues make “jokes” about my “girlish figure” when I fail to clear my plate at a business lunch. And someone on the internet even called me “a weenie” while telling me that people come in all shapes! (I mean, honestly?)

For some reason people seem to have a hard time comprehending that everyone isn’t exactly like them. It is what it is. But what it’s not is my problem.
