there's no reason to make fun of fat people, especially that most of them are fat due to health problems, and nothing to do with eating too much. but i guess people generally like to make fun of those who are different from them.
My grandma weighted over 300lbs. My dad and grandpa made fun of her all the time. I have a fear if being that big. I feel very self conscious all the time and I know I am not fat, but I FEEL fat. I am still 10 lbs heavier than before having kids...
For those who didn't get it: This is scary. This is sexy. Except the one on the right, I think she has webbed toes. Freak.
Mitten, shush, I heart your body.. I have some meat on me, I don't think I am skinny or fat, I am mid-size... I wish I was more toned if anything but other than that I am satisfied.. Unless I am on my period because then I hate everything...
yeah, that would be my definition of obese. i still wouldn't make fun, because there's a bit more going on there than just overeating and being lazy. fat just means not a size 6 i guess.
I haven't been a size six since '99...And to be honest, if I could choose how I looked then as opposed to now, I would choose now... I don't make fun of anyone regarding their weight skinny or overweight.. Though when they speak is a different story..
But that's why I get self conscious, KC, if wearing a size 10 or 12 is considered fat, then I am fat.
the only time i ever got down to a size six, despite being a workout and diet junkie who worked at a gym...was when i gave up and started taking drugs. that got me down to a six really fast. then when i cleaned up i went from a 6 to a 10 awful fucking fast, even though i twas still running around in the hills and on my stairmaster an hour a day and eating the bare amount of food i could afford on my pay. ugh. it was annoying.
i know, mitten. i feel the same way. i don't think it's right, but there's fucking dicks out there who like to take a perfectly wonderful and healthy size 10 and call it fat. up to a 12 is fat, anything over that is treated obese. i mean, OBVIOUSLY you must be gorging yourself at the buffet if you're not at least an 8. double digit sizes mean we're just pigs. i hate that bullshit.
if i were a size 6, i would have no ass. and dammit, i like my ass! plus, women usually wear their pants around the hips. i mean, i have a thin waist and big hips.. so what if my hips are bigger than a size 6?
i thought i looked so good at 110 pounds. but i look back the pics and say "OH, MY, FUCKING, GOD! THAT'S JUST FUCKING GROSS. why didn't anyone tell me?" i'll tell you why they didn't tell me, because in my fucked up family women are supposed to be disgustingly thin and bony. i'd listened to it all my life, year after year, at my perfectly healthy 130 (as a teenager). no WONDER i never thought i looked good, my family wanted me to look like a cadaver!! so i quit paying attention to them. they're obviously stupid. and need to shut the fuck up.
