Being overweight

Posted 11-29-2008 at 02:25 PM by stillagirl


I have been overweight for the last 15 years of my life, but I don't ever remember not feeling fat. Normally I don't think about it and I can go through life feeling like I am generally well accepted in public and social situations but every once in awhile I am affronted by the hostility of someone who is so ignorant as to hate me for being fat and this kind of prejudice comes at all kinds of educational levels. I know it's not healthy or ideal, but honestly my fat is working for me right now and as soon as I find another way to cope, trust me I will, but where do people get off thinking that it's okay to comment on my body size. I don't comment on your nose or freckles or acne or lack of luster in your hair, or the way your eyebrows are as furry as bert from sesame street, so what makes you think it's okay to just come out and insult me. Do you think I don't know that I'm fat? Do you think you can insult me into compliance with the rest of societies body standards? I'm sorry to tell you that it just doesn't work that way. Shame and humiliation are not motivators for change. Yes, maybe I spoke of physical characteristics that are involuntary in others and my fat is indicative of my choice of life, but still you don't have a right to comment on it unless I ask your opinion, which trust me, I won't!! I would never bark like a dog at some guy I thought was particularly unappealing so don't yell "sooey" at me or quietly ask the guy next to you if he smells bacon because it's just rude and ignorant and hateful. If my looks offend you, just don't look and walk away.

    Michelle, I'm sorry to hear that you have M.S. I hope your upcoming years are absolutely the best of your life. Thanks for reading my thing. I don't usually comment on people's weight, gain or loss. I don't know why, but I had a friend who died from diabetes and he was morbidly obese. It's his birthday today. Anyway, at one point in our lives I remember he had lost probably 150lbs and I always felt so uncomfortable when people commented on his weight loss. I think it's the importance that seems to be placed on it that bothers me. I mean I'm all for complimenting someone on how great they look, but hopefully we are so much more than our physical appearances. Hopefully. I wish you the best.

    I am right there with you about just look the other way. At some point for me I decided to see if I could find something to help. I tried everything and I would have to suggest to ask your doctor about ADIPEX. I don't usually condon using medicine lightly but this was a god-send to me. I had a ton of health problems and thanks to adipex and exercise (which i was able to do because of the energy it gave me) I was able to lose the 30 pounds I could never get off me and be at a reasonable weight. I am by no way a stick but I am now comfortable in my 9-10 jeans and happy about my looks once again. Don't listen to people that don't understand what it's like to be overweight and have their tips on not eating, or crazy diets just do what you can thats all anyone can ask for.

    Hello,
    I'm admiring the conversations going on here. If you would like to share this information about the ADIPEX drug in the DIET/WEIGHT LOSS forum, by all means than share it with others.

    A wonder in my life

    Guys I wasted my money and time on many weight loss products,do not trust in all tempting products and i do not say that all are fake,as I found a solution finally for my body weight loss,a friend lately told me about a product which initially i dint believe in but thought to give a last try and IT WAS MAGIC.I heard even film stars use this harmless product but not sure how far it is true but..it worked superb for me and its a wonder. Ok depending on your body weight you may choose the quantity to intake.Only precaution to take according to me is do not consume this more if you find a speed weight loss..follow the process and in a couple of weeks it showed difference in my looks guys.I can guide you to it from where I bought it.feel the difference and share with your friends after you find results.And its only available exclusively with these guys.Its a bit costly but worth give a try.
    Below is my Friend's Id through which you can reach there like I did..

    finally this is not for any marketing stuff or sales guys.Because am seeing such here.I just wish my happy experience would help some more to lose weight and get out of that world of depression.And after using this,you will surely post a comment like am doing now.
