There is something that truly BUGS me about those ladies at your work but I can't put my finger on it. I think maybe because it's so DISRESPECTFUL...but it's more than that. It's like disrespectful but they don't care that it's disrespectful...like it's ok, because "you are a fat person" and you don't have real feelings. I mean why should YOU care or deserve respect and privacy? And that's not to say TOO much about them as people, but more about US AS A SOCIETY and how we disregard fat people.
I was thinking this morning as I was driving to work how most comments here are from people who WANT to be invisible...people saying "I don't want the extra attention". Fat people and our society have that relationship. People don't see us and we are happy not to be seen. Well, we BECOME happy to not be seen. We get used to it. It hurts us but not as much as the shame and embarrassment of being publicly ostracized.
Ok, I'm going to stop there cuz i feel a rant coming on!!!!! HAHAHHAHA
HOWEVER! I want to be seen!!!!! I want to be FABULOUS and LIVE MY LIFE OUT LOUD!!!! I'm 45 yrs old and I don't have much time left here!! HAHHAHA. I'm ready to DO THIS!
