thankfully, sexual abuse isn't something that i personally have to overcome, but according to this guy, there are probably lots of people on the forum who have experienced it.
Quote:
Michael D. Myers, M.D., an obesity and eating disorder specialist, estimates that 40 percent of his significantly obese patients have experienced sexual abuse. On his website, he writes: “In a sense, obesity protects a person from their sexuality since, in Western culture, obesity is frowned upon.”

i thought that it was interesting that some people feel like they have more presence and authority when they are a larger size. i've always felt opposite, like i'm taken more seriously by anybody when i'm a lower weight. |
