05/04 Overweight and Forgotten
Quote From: leahmlokay, bingo! i think we agree then.
well except for this one part....i dont think it takes a fat person to know what a fat person is talking about.....i think any human being with a compassionate bone in their body would know that the sidewalk incident was extremely hurtful (and the million other stories like it). i think one thing most people can relate to is pain. everyone deals differently with their pain. i will tell you that i dont understand the cutting/mutilation thing - but that doesnt mean that i cant be compassionate about it. and it doesnt mean that i cant relate to your internal pain.
i am sorry this poster treated you differently after he/she found out about your weight. that sucks.
You are right, it doesn't take someone who has been fat to understand how hurtful that sidewalk incident was.
And I am NOT, for the record (not saying that you are saying I am) advocating obesity. It's NOT healthy, it complicates every problem. I love running, I am too fat to do that now. Running helps with my depression...so I have this double whammy there. Too fat to run, my depression can't be helped by running, and my depression aggravates my self loathing, as does my fat....sigh...
