Me too! I was always around the size I am now, before I was a vegan too. People seem to feel they have a right to comment on my appearance e.g. 'you look skinnier every time I see you' (last week's kindest comment) when they would NEVER take such a liberty with someone who was overweight.
Why is it rude to tell someone they are looking porky today but not to tell me I look thin? I don't hate my size or care that much about the comments, but the double standards are v annoying.
Luckily some people I know think that it is because I have a healthy diet, although I also get the usual 'where do you get protein?' pretty frequently. A nurse even asked me that recently!! I reeled off a list, while thinking 'thank goodness for knowledgeable health professionals'
