I dont care if someone isnt skinny, thats a non issue: but if someone is at the point where it's an actual health risk, people shouldn't be saying "that's ok".
The problem with that is it's not how the majority of people feel about the subject. People use it as an excuse to put down fat people because," they deserve the added torment because they're fat disgusting slobs!"
I'm a fat dude, but I'm working on it. I'm officially the "skinniest" I've been since middle school. I don't need for people to treat me like shit just because I'm fat. I'm not asking for people to praise me for it, I just don't want to be treated like I'm a sub-human for it. Is that really so much to ask for?
People making comments under their breath and snickering as I pass by is not going to be encourage me to continue losing weight. It's going to make me want to go home and never leave the house. It'd going to make me seek comfort in the most easily accessible way possible, and that's food.
I know what sub I'm in, and I'm not looking for sympathy. I just hate that so many people here have this delusion that they're entitled to make fun of fat people because somehow they've convinced themselves that they're doing a public service. I'm not saying that's you, and if it isn't then great! You're a decent human being. However, look around and you'll see you're in the minority.
