The truth about obesity

Be honest.
Has anyone ever agitated you by their weight.

Has anyone ever had a body so extremely fat that it disturbs you.

Have you ever felt that someone wasn’t fit to be your friend or have your Acquaintance because he/she was overweight.

Yes?

Our eyes tell us the truth,but our hearts and minds speak otherwise see these people do good to us and show us more love and care than any other normal person could ever give,and yet we refuse to give them the same amount of affection,because it’s their physique that ultimately bothers us.We know that fact,and yet we’re willing to change it,to change ourselves for the better because we fear degradation from the higher powers afraid that the more ‘beautiful’ and socially powerful persons might leave us to our betrayed friendships with the fat and obese the end,we’re stuck.Alone.
Have you ever had the feeling of sitting at a table with other people at dinner,looking ravenously upon the food that sits on the table,and yet taking only a bite of it for fear it would add another pound?


God gave the birds wicker baskets of bread,
and He gave me a crumb for me to nibble on.
And yet I mustn’t eat it.


Because I might gain more weight,you byatch.
It’s a worldwide phenomenon.
Bosses don’t want to hire fat people.
Men don’t want to go out with fat ladies.
Modelling is only suitable for the anorexic
.I feel for them,because I have gone through that.
How do you think they feel?
And I mean as in those who really want to make a change and be thin,not those who have accepted their fat ‘fate’.
Going through hundreds of diets until you already know them by heart

Atkins,low-carb,vegetarian to slimming and beauty centers at the age of 10,feeling like a doofus walking around women who are already model-like-ly slender,knowing the fact that they talk about you behind your back,going "oh God is she really 10?So fat maa!".

Getting sympathy friendship from the popular,making friends with the similarly downtrodden group,dreading ‘the’ time every year when the teacher calls out your name to check your weight.

Oooh there’s more to that,but it makes me sick just typing it here.

People think they are sensible and socialize with everyone,but not many are aware of the discrimination they put on the fat and obese.

Come on,you don’t think they notice it when you smile pathetically at them?

It’s a lie on top of a lie.

They deserve support and care.

It’s not as if they aren’t people too.

Severely suffering each day,reading labels and nutritional value on the food they eat,constantly counting the calories they eat.

And it still doesn’t work.

It’s as if they’re digging a hole that never ends.

Like trying to fly.

An effort that brings no result worthy of joy.
