THIS RIGHT HERE.

It sums everything up that every overweight person feels at one point in their lives. I know I can honestly relate to this post, and the post itself is making me feel better about myself!

    Yes. I'm so glad someone addressed this issue, because it is serious... I mean, I felt horrible in middle school/9th grade/10th grade because of fat shamers and people who "hated fat people" It really broke me down. and then I see people supporting fat positive blogs and other things, then there are few that are all like "RAWR DONT SUPPORT THEM THEY WILL GET BIGGER THATS DISGUSTING" kind of thing -___- annoys the crap out of me. Makes me want to give up honestly....

    related to that, I have an incredibly skinny friend, she eats, but she burns a lot!!!! People tell her all the time "you're so skinny, are you ok? look how skinny you are!! what size are you, like a 0?!". Once day she got tired of it and said "Why is it ok to say this to skinny people and not to fat ones? I don't hear anybody saying "You're so fat, are you ok? Look how fat you are! what size are you, like 300?"". Left everyone speechless :))))))))))))

    Yepp. I know a friend like this! Being skinny or fat doesnt mean youre unhealthy nessicarily! Its just bones 'look' unhealthier compared to chub. Unless you have a LOT of chub. Either way weight descrimination sucks.
