Ok I am skinny and I work out and take care of my body. One of the things I do is drink a SlimFast every morning. I do this because I hate breakfast but I am hypoglycemic and need the protein (FYI it has 10 grams of protein :) !!!!!) Also SlimFast will only help you loose weight if you substitute it for two meals a day.
Anyways I usually bring one to work and MIND MY OWN business and I get dirty looks and comments. I had to start putting it in a cup. What makes me mad is I shouldn’t have to put it in a cup but why wont overweight people leave me alone!! Its non stop. I swear for all they know I WAS fat and that’s how i got skinny and they should ask my advise!!!!!
Im venting but come on why do overweight people ridicule it? Surely they are sick of getting dirty looks so why do it to me?

Nope only overweight people have done it.

Why would you ever put it in your own cup? You're not ridiculing or bothering others because of their weight, are you? Do what you want, eat or drink what you want, and let everyone else worry about themselves. People might give you dirty looks for any number of reasons, the Slimfast is a subtle hint at them to lose weight, maybe they are jealous that you are thinner, etc. Be polite to everyone and don't worry about something so trivial.

I think it might be because they think you want to get more and more skinny, like you can never be skinny enough, or if like your a health freak. (Maybe you are but probobly not. A heath FREAK is someone who freaks out about never having ANYTHING unhealthy... and thats unhealthy in the head!) A lot of them -NOT ALL- hate it when skinny people think they're fat or are health freaks... it just bothers them.
Also, I don't know if the same thing applies but you know how freshman are always picked on, then they just return it when they're no longer freshman? Thats because they feel the need to 'return the favor' to the new freshman. Maybe it's something like that.
Why don't you just ask them why they're giving you that look when you go to work with slimfast, just to see what they say. Most likely they'll just shrug it off, say they wern't, or argue for some stupid reason. Or maybe they'll tell you why! (It probobly won't be telling you why in a nice way, but at least you'll know)

Take a look, I bet it's not all overweight people ridiculing you.
If it is, tell them to mind their overweight business. I don't care that a skinny person drinks their meal, or if a fat person is eating fried chicken.
Don't worry about others, continue to live your life.

so .....its *just* the overweight people who ridicule you? I've never ridiculed anyone for drinking slim fast, so you should address this question as "question for overweight people who ridicule skinny people who drink slimfast''.

maybe it makes them feel uncomfortable because they know they should be using it but aren't? its your choice what you eat/drink no one should care about it.
