Skinnyenvy.

Skinnyenvy. Yes, you are reading that correctly. Skinnyenvy is a combination of the words: skinny and envy. Everyone knows someone who embodies this newly formed word. They come up to make a comment about how skinny you've gotten or how much weight you lost. Of course, the main question that is really being asked is "how did you do it? how did you lose the weight?" Usually, said with such amazement and well, envy of your new skinnier self.

Annoying? Yes, skinnyenvy certainly can be (especially when it happens on a daily basis). Flattering? Well, the envier certainly thinks this weight loss is a remarkable feat. Sense of jealousy? Obviously, usually these are the type of people that have a dire need to lose almost to an obsession or simply are watching your dietary habits and the resulting spin cycle of weight loss - just to comment.

The best part of skinnyenvy is the resulting awkward conversation about how the poundage melted away. This conversation is usually weighted with trying this diet or that food fad and failing, only to gain more weight in the end and carried on by the skinnyenvier. The end is what seems to be an epiphany that they too will do what you do and be successful. The only problem - they are not you and therefore, it may not work unless they tailor it to meet their needs.

Skinnyenvy. Tailor your diet to a skinny self.
