Do people really talk about their metabolism that much? Or are some people just so self-conscious about their weight and eating habits that they place particular weight on those comments such that they appear to be more frequent than they actually are?

I got a lot of comments about my weight and eating habits when I was young, so 'fast metabolism' was an easy way out of the conversation even if it wasn't true.
