-Someone who's never been fat looking down on those who are. I know this isn't true for everyone but you just know the people who have never been fat and they look at you like, "How could you let yourself get like that?" Well, everyone has their reasons and most aren't just because of their love for food. I feel like I need to carry my daughter around all the time to be like, "Look, I'm fat because I had a baby!" but that's not true because there's plenty of people who had babies and didn't gain 100lb. I want a shirt for every day of the week that says- "Stress did me in and I couldn't smoke for 9months because I was pregnant. Food was my vice."
Completely unnessesary but ... I think wearing that would embarrass me more than actually being fat, haha.

-The other day my mom was looking at pictures of my cousin on FB. Mycousin is 17years old, she plays softbal, volleyball, she's on the HS swim team, etc. My mom says, "Wow, she was FAT" I said "uum.. she's 5'9 and, in that picture, was about 135-140lb. Now she's 125 from swim team. You want to try that one again?" She didn't, she just continued on how she had a fat face. I said, "If she's fat, what am i?" She says, "Well you're fat. And I'm fat." She thinks because she called herself fat, it makes it ok that she called me fat. Not ok. Not at all ok.
At least I'm losing it instead of eating cookies before bed. Booya!

That's all... It's been bothering me, I had to get it out and my fiance doesn't like to hear my "I'm fat pity party" rants anymore because he "doesn't think I'm fat", hahaha. He's sweet, haha.

    Oh I can totally relate to the unnecessary fat comments in my presence. My mom is super teeny, like 5'1" and 100 pounds or less most of the time. She will come up to me and say, "I'm getting so fat, I weigh like 103." I honestly want to toss her tiny body across the room when she says it. I feel like, if she wants to talk like that she should do it to anyone but ME, her one daughter that does need to lose weight! Add me if you'd like, I can totally relate to the baby weight gain...but I kept mine on for almost 5 years!

    I kinda used to be that person. Although, I never judged a person for being fat, I would think to myself, "why don't they do something about it"..........But now I am overweight and I am realizing how hard it is. Alot of people are just judgemental and insecure and it makes them feel better to be mean to someone else.

    my mom is like that, as long as i can remember she made me feel like crap, then i lost a ton of weight and we wore the same size but she still criticized then i gained 110 lbs having my kids back to back 14 months apart well i kept telling her and my family i would get the weight off and none of them thought i could do it.

    now that i have lost almost 100 lbs they are always saying how great i look and how surprised they are that i have done it so fast

    My fiance is sort of 'that person.' If he sees an obese person eating a big fat bacon burger he usually says something quietly to me and I shoot back, "What if they've already lost 100lb and today's their first 'cheat day' in months? Then you'd feel like an *kitten*, wouldn't you?" He says yes. He's one of those never been fat people at 6'4, 180lb. He just doesnt know what it's like.
