I have been both thin and fat and boy oh boy is there a major difference! When you are fat, you are forgotten. People's eyes run right past you as if you didn't exist. Either that or they look at you as if you are pathetic and disgusting. I've had men say rude things to me and look at me as if I was a piece of dog sh*t because of my weight. Luckily my husband is a man of character and he loves me exactly the way I am.

It's definitely true that fat jokes are still acceptable and I think it's horrible. I always feel bad for people who are very obese because I know what that's like and my heart goes out to them for what they are put through on a daily basis. The ridicule, the torment, the embarassing situations such as when you don't fit into a seat on the train or in the movie theater, the looks of disdain that people always give to those who are obese.... it really breaks my heart and it makes me angry
