I just get hurt when people refer to us BIGGER people as tubs of lard, fat pigs...etc. And I heard some of those terms mentioned in this thread. I realize that DF'g obese people is absurd...but why even bring it up? Has there been a thread on anorexic's or bulemic's? (sorry, spelling) Should they be DF'd because they have an eating disorder? Are you honoring your body by trying to fit into the mold of being thin, as this society we live in dictates, by starving yourself and resorting to extreme measures to do so? (Vomiting, fasting, abusing laxatives, unhealthy fad diets, exercise obsession)?

I am very defensive about weight because I have struggled for so long with it. I have been insulted, stared at and generally looked down upon because I am not a skinny chick. I am built for comfort; not for speed. Of all people, the people on this forum, who have escaped a cult that categorizes people and labels them...should be accepting of everyone here.

I know that people who have commented on this thread mean well and are just speaking their minds. When a thread like this comes up I guess I get very defensive because I have been hurt by the cruelty of others regarding weight. This also happened while I was a JW. If a sister started gaining weight...she was a target for a whole lot of gossip by the other sisters.

It's not a perfect world for sure on this forum...but it would be nice to see more tolerance of our individuality. I know that I amount to more than a number on a scale or the reflection in the mirror.

Just a rant. Cheaper than a shrink. But I'll still take my anti-depressants...lol!!

This topic makes me sad indeed. Not every FAT person is greedy. I am FAT. But I am not greedy. There are many things that contribute to obesity...and any intelligent person should know that food is not always the biggest (pardon the pun) issue. Some of the skinniest people I know are absolute PIGS when it comes to eating. But they get away with it because they are thin.

Why is it okay to have fat "prejudice"? I have heard it said that this type of prejudice is one of the last socially acceptable types of prejudice. Shame on people who look down on us tubbies.
